I think I just threw up a little in my mouth.

Others think you are worthy of the recognition, thank them for their thoughtfulness and continue in the help you are giving, in the end it is that help that's most important, not the rewards.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.

So it went well. They have me a nice gift and I didn't really have to say much which was cool since I hate public speaking. I just said thanks and something about putting in more hours/effort in the future. It did motivate me to do more so I guess it worked. And no I didn't mention god or Jesus Smile

I do some volunteer work and the organization nominated me for volunteer of the month but really I don't feel like I have been doing much lately and there are others who do like so much more than me. Like way way more. Makes me feel a little weird.

Don't be so modest Smile

Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time.

I'm glad I can have that effect on people.
