Today people are getting up before the crack of dawn,some are turning on their televisions others are booting up their computers to watch as some say the Wedding of the Decade.
Before I go any further I want to state that I am not making fun or criticizing anyone for doing this after all my wife is watching the wedding.Here in the United States we are recovering from horrible storms from past two weeks,just this week more than 200 people were killed in four states,Japan is still recovering from the tsunami so something like this helps us recover and gives us something else to talk about.
As I look at the coverage I see the streets are lined with people trying to get a glimpse of the royal couple or the celebrities that are attending.
The bible tells us also of a Royal Wedding.Christ(Bridegroom)will return for the church(Bride)if this was Christ returning would we be lining the streets or turning on our television coverage of the sky fixating on His return,how many celebrities would attend His return and would we had gotten up at 4:00 A.M. and tuned in to watch the real Royal Wedding?

Eating Out
Last night my wife took me out to eat for my birthday.I turned 53, but that is not what I am going to blog about today.
My wife hates to go out to eat with me,not that she doesn't enjoy eating out it is the fact that during my 53 years of life I have managed fast food as well as full service restaurants and it is impossible for me not to speak up when I see things that are bad .
The first place(I won't mention their name) we went to was basically the only place with an all you can eat buffet bar with steak.We went paid for the meal and looked over the bar,we were amazed of the food on the bar ,wait let me change that to lack of food on the bar.If that wasn't bad enough the food that they did have did not look good at all.The steak did not look good,the fried pork chops were over cooked as was the fried chicken.That was the good stuff about the bar.I then proceeded to ask for my money back in which I received no apology about the food only that I could get a steak cooked the way I like it for future reference.What about the rest of the food?Excuse me,the last thing you want is a customer to leave with a bad experience.During my years of management I tried to never let one leave upset.I always apologized for the situation.
We then left and went to Henderson,Ky. some 25 miles away to eat at Golden Corral.This was not our first time eating at a Golden Corral but our first for the Henderson,Ky. location.(Wish they had one in Owensboro,Ky.)The food was fantastic,the steak was fantastic,the rolls just melted in my mouth the steak fries were hot and fresh off the bar each time.The cook made my steak just the way I loved it each time.Well done and it was tender to the taste.
The two most important things in the full service food business is service and food quality.A person will over look poor service if the food is excellent,a person might even over look poor food quality(most won't) if the service is great but someone will not over look both.
Fast food is just as bad,I won't even blog on that today.I will leave that to a later experience in A Day In Life Today.

Day 1
This is the first day of my blog and this blog represents A Day In Life Today, we will cover certain things in life.
I would like to share part of a devotional that I read recently. The key to successful living is to deny ourselves in order that God may fill us to overflowing with God's presence and power.Paul said in Galatians 2:20 "and it is no longer I who live,but it is Christ who lives in me.And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son Of God who loved me and gave himself for me." There is the path to real success.If we who are followers of Jesus would learn that one simple truth,we could turn this world upside down.
So there you have it,my first blog.This will not be an everyday blog.
