Our Word in Action Ministry that feeds meals 5 nights every week had been low on food. We were completely out of canned fruit and low on hamburger meat. Even though we had ordered some (only allowed to order once a month from this supplier) of these items, they were out and said it would be at least a month before we could order. Their truck delivered to us Thurs. the 23rd and guess what? To our amazement and delight, our food included canned fruit and way more hamburger than we expected. God answers prayer. The next day we had another food truck deliver to us with many pallets. Between the 2 days, we received 11,000 lbs. of food. We’ll use it quite fast too. Last week we served 1,214 meals. After the second truck left, we gave out sweet potatoes, pop or tea, and bread to any who passed by (no guidelines). We have these giveaways once a month when we can afford it. It is very fun. Around 125 families received food from us that evening which went to 404 persons. Our large van that we use to haul food had been at the transmission shop and we were able to get it out on Fri. as well. That’s all the major news for now.

Last month I adopted a guinea pig from the Honolulu Humane Society. I later found out my co-worker also had a guinea pig named Bun Bun. So now I take her to the beach with me on Saturdays so they can play while I`m working. After work we go to the bar; where I enjoy a few cold beers and she enjoys free carrots and coasters.

I had a plan for a long time to get up early and go to Ala Moana beach park. Last weekend, I finally succeeded in waking up and jogging to the beach. On Magic Island, there were many jogging trails to choose from. I spent time getting some good exercise, breathing the fresh ocean air, and admiring the beautiful scenery. When I got tired, I went for a swim in the ocean. I was surprised that it got deep very quickly. After cooling off in the water, I ran back home. It was a good way to start the day.

For the last 3 months I have been taking new supplement to help me lose weight. I take 2 pills before lunch and 2 pills before dinner. In 3 months i loss 10 lbs. everyone says that I am too skinny and that I do not need to lose weight. This is true, but i must stay thin to help motivate our clients, and to promote our business. For the last 3 weeks I have not eaten any sugar, which is important, because i am addicted to sweets. I wanted to stop eating sugar while I start my new workout routine, and so far it has been helping to keep my weight down.

I recently made an awesome discovery. You might think it’s goofy but I swear you wont be disappointed. Believe it or not, motorcycle gloves make out to be better gardening gloves than gardening gloves. I kid you not. With their leathery palms, they’re ideal for handling those prickly traveler thingies that poke you. You know, the ones that hurt. One point: Rodney, Zero: Prickly traveler thingies.
