Crazy Day

My day was exhausting!

First I went shoping for a new Patio Jaime wants me to put in.

Today at church I got asked to lead worship for 2 different churches for 2 different occasions (one is tomorrow!) I didn't realize I was that popular!

Also I picked up 2 couches out of a dumpster behind a shady hotel--No joke. I actually did this!

Then this evening I had a great Flood Staff meeting.

I only wish everyday was as productive as this!

What do you do on the Internet.

I don't know about you, but I have a routine.

1. My Hotmail account is my homepage. I only briefly check it, and sometimes get an email from MySpace saying I have a comment/email.
2. I usually go to MySpace, especially if I have a new comment. If not I see if there are any interesting things on the bullitan page (Usually MANY junk posts)
3. I usually then check my Church (main) email. I usually have to delete about 5-10 spam, only to see 1 new email!
4. I then go to my bank account, just to make sure I have money :)
5. Then it is up in the air. Like recently I was working on buying something from Ebay, so I check that like 100 times a day!

The Calm Before the Storm (or the Flood)

So here I am in the summer months getting by planning and preparing for September's kick-off for the Flood (the High School Ministry I work with.) I feel like I have so much time on my hands, and yet, every time I try to plan something, time gets away from me.

Anyway, this next year I have some major projects/goals I will be working on:

• -Working with the CORE (Student Leadership team) for the first time
• -Working closer with my Volunteer team
• -Launching a monthly (?) band venue (to allow some local bands to play)
• -Launching a monthly (?) worship venue for some serious Worship
• -Planning and prepping months in advance. (this always happens up until about December)

All this plus I want to make sure the Middle School (the Storm) gets off to a right start and keeps going strong as well as launching a brand new Young Adult/College Ministry.

Whew. I'm tired.

Pizza Hut Stop

Well, I was pleasured with the tastes of "the Hut" today as I enjoyed a lunch buffet of Pizza.

I had mostly pepperoni, but a slice of cheese, veggie, and dessert pizza helped round out my meal.

Where have I been?

Well, fancy you'd ask...

I have spent all day Friday, Saturday and today (Monday) drywalling a room in my parents house. It has been a lot of fun, as it is real easy to spend other people's money!

Now...I need to actually get some youth pastoring done.

I like the bandwagon

Yep,

Since the Tigers are good now, I like watching baseball again. It has been like 10 years since I actually watched a game, but now I try to catch them on TV now that they win.

I hope they don't suffer the same fate as the Pistons and the Red Wings: Best records by no Post Season hope.

Do you ever wonder....

...if anybody cares what you are doing.

I mean with blogging. Does anyone else read it and so is it worth my time to do this.

Also with teaching. I wonder sometimes if what I am teaching to students makes any sense or if it is what they are looking for or if I am way off base.

I guess when we consider how much feedback we get for things (like no comments on my blog or on my MySpace or no questions from the students about what I am teaching,) it makes it easy to think that nobody cares.

BUT, guess what. I bet somebody cares. In fact these tyos of feelings have inspired me to comment, wether in person or in the old electronic fashion, way more. I try to remember if I have read something of somebody's or if something they did had an impact on them and ...TELL THEM. It actually is real easy. Anyway, I thought maybe I should describe the title of my blog.

Sometimes I feel lonely

Tonight was one of those nights. My wife Jaime went "out with the girls," and left me home with Colin. There was nothing on TV to watch (maybe someone could tip me on to a new good show) and nothing on TiVo I hadn't already watched.

So then I go to my computer. Hotmail comes up, but alas, no new mail (unless you count 3 junk emails) I go to my church mail account--nothing. I go to MySpace, but I knew I wouldn't have any messages and there were no interesting posts for me. I check my own blog. 1 new comment but it was about 4 words long!

I think I will talk to the paint spot on my wall.

Heat.

I know, everyone's hot. But I just have to say I hate walking out to my car and sweating, and then getting into a car that is 100 times hotter than outside (I guess that would make it 1000 degrees) and no air conditioning. Here's to living like its the year 1899.

MySpace : MyFrustration (Part 1)

So I have been working with MySpace for about 6-8 months now and have accumulated some frustrations toward this revolution. I will post one every time I get overly frustrated toward it.

Number 1. I am sick of hearing how BAD it is. Give it up. If students are on this thing with graphic pictures, lying about their age, or getting hooked up with 55 year old men from Malaysia, I think parents need to have a bit more knowledge of what their kids are doing. As with anything new and popular we Christians fee Satan himself created it. All the Dateline NBC, Primetime Live, and 20/20 episodes of how scary this site is just creates hysteria. The bottom line--If used correctly (and responsibly from a parents perspective) it is a wonderful way to connect with people.

2 hoorays from me for MySpace and how it has helped my ministry!

Till I am frustrated again...
