Good Morning!! Saying I am sorry….. Last week found me in a very stressful place.
It was Tuesday and I was down 2 guys in the kitchen, Shelby was in Plainview with my B for baseball and another guy was having a stress test done, by the way, I am glad I was not the one taking it, I would have failed. I made some adjustment to the duties of the staff and I worked in the kitchen for the day. Both of the shifts ran amazing and I was so proud of the guys in the kitchen…they really stepped up to the plate and we were a great team….the front of the house was a little different, some of my staff was very upset about my decisions of how the door and tables were going to run that day and their attitudes evident…..I held my emotions in until halfway through lunch and I snapped and let my temper get the best of me. After the lunch shift one of the girls came to me and said “you ready to talk?”, my response was absolutely, “let’s do this” when I really should have let myself calm down . We walked up the stairs and our discussion started and it was not pretty……I actually hold my head in shame over the conversation we had…..I was very angry!! I try to live my life everyday with the reminder, “Make your words kind, because they could be your last to that person”, well obviously my words were not kind and all during my vacation I thought about the words to my co-worker. Happy Beautiful Tuesday… when the grill opened back up I ask my co-worker to come upstairs, I am sure she dreaded what was to come. “I owe you an apology for my words last week, the conversation needed to happen but my words did not reflect my heavenly Father and I am so very sorry, I never want my words to hurt you girls and I know mine did, I ask that you please accept it and I will do better.” Tears flowed from her beautiful eyes as she accepted with a sincere yes…..and told me “Thank you, for this”. Saying I’m sorry can be tough and very humbling but it does something to your heart. I am thankful she accepted but I was not sure what was going to happen but I needed to say them to try and make it right. The Lord blessed me with the opportunity to make the situation right, is there an apology you need to make? We are not promised tomorrow, nor are we promised that person will accept it but saying the words “I am sorry” is the start of something beautiful…. I will do better next time, I never want my words to be hurtful… I love the phrase, “For beautiful lips say beautiful words!”

I just want to say Thank You to everyone who supported me through the years. My name is Manuel Franco, New Berlin, Wisconsin. My story of how I won the Powerball lottery of $768.4M is a bit of a tale. I have been playing Powerball tickets for 6 years now since I turned 18. I bought my first ticket on my 18 birthday. I was feeling very lucky that day because I had contacted Dr. Odunga Michael to help me with the winning Powerball numbers. I really had that great great feeling that I looked at the camera wanting to wink at it. I only did a tiny part of it and trusted him. He gave me the numbers after I played a couple other tickets along with it for $10. I checked my ticket after the winnings came online and saw the numbers were correct including the Power play. I screamed for about 10 minutes because it felt like a dream. I had won $768.4M. You can check my winning testimony with the lottery officials just with my name search. Thank you Dr Odunga. Well, his email is [email protected] and you can also call or Whats-app him at +2348167159012 so you guys can contact him

AuthorI opened the Cast Iron Grill in October 2007. Lots of changes have happened in the last 5 1/2 years. The CIG started with 55 seats in an office building located at 18th and K. After five years, we were bursting at the seams with now 167 seats, and 24 wonderful co-workers working on top of eachother to make it happen. 2012 the Lord chose a different journey for the CIG. We relocated the CIG and opened our doors on January 2nd, 2013, just four blocks away from the old location! It has changed my world completely! All of these stories are the happenings of the people and the joy and celebration that make the CIG what it is. Archives
