We watched this as a precursor to our Bible study.
HILARIOUS.

A Long Time Coming
I've been on my Church Council for well over a year that I need a 15-passenger van. We have a bus but, honestly, its a piece of crap. Ask anyone who's ever ridden (or driven) it. So, this morning, we got a call from Judy, my secretary, saying that I had not one but TWO presents in the parking lot!!

A La Hannahlysis
This Weekend Was:
I was in Houston for the Youth Ministry Symposium on the Spirituality of Adolescents. It was a lot of information (and numbers!) to take in and apply but I think that Lisa Kimball, John Oberdeck and Craig Oldenberg did an awesome job. Plus I got to reconnect with some college friends (Vanessa!) and some even older friends (Shawn!). If you take out the 6-hour-fuel-related delay on my way home, it was great... even though I did miss the hubs...
Where I Am:
In my office in Palmer staring out the window at all the dirty snow.
To-Do List:
(I'll just copy from my actual list) Confirmation Prep, YNBS Prep, Armor of God BS, Breakfast BS prep & reminder, Middle School Ice Skating Event, Homer Lock-In info to kids, AALYG meeting set-up, research CUNE visit dates, find email for new youth board folk, add THREE BOYS to Confirmation class, READ books for class and a partridge in a pear tree!
Procrastinating About:
Pretty much everything above AND reading my books for class (see below)
Book I’m Reading:
For fun: The Twilight Series (just started book four);
For class: Pedagogy of the Oppressed and Leadership in Something-or-another
Music Caught My Interest:
The new Darius Rucker songs are awesome. I can't believe Hootie & the Blowfish is now on country radio!
Next trip:
This weekend (Saturday thru Monday) to Homer, AK with the kiddos in one of my TWO new vans!
My Feelings On This Week:
I'm feeling a bit crazed at the moment. LOTS to do and only so much time to do it. Plus, grad school officially started today so that means I actually have to STOP reading the book I want to read to START reading the books I have to read in order to actually participate in class. Ugh.

It's about time!
- trying to pass you, you shouldn't weave to deter them;
- walking toward you, you shouldn't aim for their feet;
- walking behind you, you should not take up the whole friggin' walkway!
- 1/5: Orientation for the online Organizational Leadership Master's Degree program
- 1/8-11: Travel to Houston for the Youth Ministry Symposium 2008
- 1/17-19: Homer Lock-In with my kiddos, hopefully in a brand-new 15-passenger van. Oh, and I'm leading all of the Bible studies (one guess as to if I've started that yet...)
- 1/30-31: Youth Ministry Task Force meeting in Portland, Oregon.
