Accounting for lost time

So I was writing a few emails today, before starting work, and realized how detached I had become from family and friends. Not that I don't care of course; I just have lots going on. Still, I recognize it is too much even for a loner like me. So I'll post some of what's been happening recently.

-The youth group is about to kickoff again this Sunday and I have to have devotions ready for every other weekend. That is exciting as I really wanted to get time talking to the kids, but the down side is it will rarely be about the things I want it to be.

-Also, that contemporary service that I was talking about earlier is set to go off in two Sundays. There is so much to plan for it still (not to mention the side events) that we are having three meetings a week to try and get it all under control. It is all so very exciting, but very exhausting. It will be nice to have a service like that for people (myself included) to worship at.

-I got an invitation to a 10 year reunion for high school. Shut up…I’m old, I know. I doubt I’ll go; it seems to be about drinking and showing off families. Plus most of my high school friends were a year behind me or they aren’t in the area now so they won’t be there. I can only think of one reason to go at all and it isn’t as motivating as it aught to be right now.

-Another cool thing is how those apologetic sites are starting, slowly, to generate a bit of attention. So I’m excited that people are just starting to use those websites and respond. (Side Note: It’s weird how apologetics sounds like apology, but it was originally understood to mean giving or having a defense. So an apologist is a defender for something. Generally someone who is able to answer or direct a person who has questions or critical comments against Christianity or God. Basically, I study and practice so that I can help people deal with their confusion or apprehension in regards to God…in case I didn’t explain that before.)

-This coming weekend I hope to do the brakes on my car, but I'm a bit gun-shy after the last time. It didn't go as well as it could have and even though what broke wasn't my fault it was still quite pricy, making me think twice before diving in again.

-I have to go get my license renewed this week. Apparently it expired mid-may and I didn't know it. (^_^)

-Besides that stuff (over the past few weeks) I haven’t had time for much else. No time for traveling; no time for climbing and falling out of trees. In those precious spare moments I just put on some cartoons and power down.
