DAY SIX: It's all about Devotion . . .

"Devotion"

After my first full weekend in Dallas, today I felt refreshed and ready to start my first Monday. Little would I find that Mondays at Buckner were special in their own way.

Just like my good ol' school, Texas Lutheran University, we have some traditions and some things that have just become habits for us, Buckner has the same. Being a Chirstian ministry, it was easy to see that they had devotional, which was non-mandatory, but a great majority come. Each Monday, someone from the staff gives their own personal testimony and relate it to the Bible. Prayer Requests and Praise Reports are also welcomed and embraced as well. After all of the session, it is ended on a prayer, and then it's back to work.

Well, today went well but I could definitelty feel a presence not there. One of my bosses left Sunday overseas so it felt a little weird not to see them to start out my week, but with a list of plenty things to do, that presence became needed less and less. Each project was a task on it's own as each invovled calling the main contacts, finding different ANGLES to each story and presenting the story in a way that had never been talked about before.

Today was cool, because on top of the assignments I already had, I was given a more PR side assignment which included a photo shoot at one of the community centers. It was neat because not only would this picture get publicity, but the overall picture would be sent to numerous donors . . . no pressure, right?

Overall, I felt today if anything else, I finally got an organized schedule now, which includes a tenative schedule of getting things done, let's see how long this will last :) . . . Stay Tuned . . .
