And Mr. Smith Enjoy Your Stay...


Yes, I now work at the four star Sheraton Raleigh Hotel located downtown. It features 300 rooms with seventeen floors, presidential and governor's suite, club level floors, indoor pool, restaurant and bar. I work at the front desk checking in guest, checking them out, and making guest feel right at home.

I get to sport my stylish suits and ties, stand on my feet for eight hours, and enjoy guest coming to me with their complaints. It's almost like church used to be...Takes me back.

Really, I am enjoying it and having some great opportunities to be around people who don't know Christ. It is also giving me perspective on what people deal with outside the ministry. Usually I'm up at 5:30 am and in to work by 7 am and work until 3 pm. This week I work some extra hours and an evening shift. I'm starting to become quite the morning person!

It has it perks. I get lunch provided by the cooks, free parking downtown, eventually great health benefits, and hotel discounts. And yes if your family you can get the discounts too (just have to wait to after my first 90 days.)
