I had a fantastic Thanksgiving and I hope you and all the substackers had one just as good as mine.
Couple thoughts:
One, please don’t apologize for feeling under the weather or worry about beating a dead horse by mentioning it. It’s the time of year for that stuff.
Two, before anyone worries too much about me, I work in middle-management so I do make more than minimum wage and honestly, as stressful as retail is, it’s so much less stressful than my last job. Before my latest stint in retail, I was an EMT (with the PTSD to prove it! *rimshot*) so at least at my current job, I get to sleep in my own bed every night and nobody dies. (Side note to that: If you ever want to hear some WILD stories of life on an ambulance, hit me up. I’ve got stories for days.)
Anyway, I’m rambling. Feel better, bud. Very glad to have helped kick the sermon in gear this week.
Zach feel free to say no... but if you ever wanna share any of them crazy stories... would you consider sitting down with me and doing a podcast for this here Substack? We could call it “The Citizens Of Chickaluki Show” or some shit 🤣. Anyways, just a thought. Would be fun!
I’d love to! Anytime! I’ve been thinking about doing a podcast of my own for a while now (you know, because I’m a straight white male in my 40s and it’s the law.) Maybe sitting down with you would give me a much-needed kick in the pants. And if not, it would still be equal parts an honor and an absolute blast!
I have no idea if my prayer request inspired today’s message or if it merely aligned nicely with it but either way, I am genuinely touched. Thank you, Pastor Petey, for a much-needed message and thank you, Corey, for passing along my prayer request.
If I’m honest, traveling back and forth to Iowa for Thanksgiving got me sick AGAIN! (I didn’t say anything cause it seems I’ve been sick a lot lately so I didn’t want to beat a dead horse!)
I was running on fumes trying to get back home and write a sermon while feeling like shit. My brain wasn’t working at all!.... then I saw your request and it all came to me because I too worked retail for YEARS!
I could’ve said more, and for that I apologize. I was sortly losing my voice 🤣. But I will definitely say more at a later date because dude I FEEL YOU!
so yes, thank you for slapping that request in because it kicked me into gear!
Loved how you broke character at the end of the plumbing commercial. 🤣
