today, this week, when was the last time i posted?

Alright, so I’ve been seriously slack in blogging. Forgive me. Although, to be fair, I haven’t heard any complaints. I’m starting to think your love is… well, nonexistent.

But, here’s the update on life.

Wednesday I talked to a Social Studies teacher and got a job shadow set up for next Friday. Yay. I also talked to …keep reading

I should be offended….

I am Gonorrhea. Love me.

Which Horrible Affliction are you?

A Rum and Monkey disease.

And I quote:

Congratulations, you’re gonorrhea! Yeah, that’s right. You’re a sexually transmitted disease. And it gets worse: you’re curable. But fret not, my fine infectious friend; you have a fine array of symptoms associated with you that would make even rabies …keep reading

It’s snowing snowing snowing! Not those big fat flakes (those are the best), but millions of tiny little white dots floating around, never seeming to land. Regardless of my feelings about winter (and winter activities), snow makes everything better. A new coat of snow is like a fresh start. Everything is …keep reading

Pictures (long overdue!)

I finally got my film back from the lab – apparently it contained all fall and Christmas, including a trip to the Orchard, the Fall Senior High Retreat, Christmas, and the Snow Senior High Retreat. Hmmmm…. Digital camera should fix that problem, but…. you never know.

So, here are the pictures for our trip to the …keep reading

[undated - 4/22/????, probably 2001 or 2002]

I have found myself, to my dismay, living with regrets. I used to be OK with me, with my past and present despite all its blemishes. I realized that all of the horrible things that happened to me, all the experiences I never had, all the things …keep reading

Trigger #126: Snow Day

  1. What would you do if you felt the roads weren’t very safe and the town you live in didn’t cancel school? I’d probably stay home if I really couldn’t make it, but since I could take the bus almost anywhere, I would have reliable transportation that would be fairly safe.
  2. What kind of things do you …keep reading

Steal My Kisses Lyrics – Ben Harper

I pulled into Nashville, Tennessee
But you wouldn’t even come around to see me
And since your headin’ up

You know I’m gonna be right there behind you’Cause I always have
to steal my kisses from you
Always have to steal my kisses from you

Now I love to feel that warm southern rain
Just to hear it fall is the …keep reading

  • Spent New Year’s Day at and ’s house. We exchanged gifts. I almost got stranded there – bad storm – but made it home safely.
  • Work, work, work.
  • Chaos surrounding senior high …keep reading

More on (leaving) Ministry

After reading Saturday’s entry, I realized more I should articulate on why I’m leaving ministry.

I’m just no good at it.

Now, that’s not really true. I’m great at it. Just not when I have to do it full-time and get paid for it. Something about the full-time paid position aspect changes the nature …keep reading

Verbalization

I think I can finally describe in words why I’m leaving formal ministry. Besides the obvious inadequacies I feel about my ability to do the job, that is. I get so annoyed with the kids’ behavior. Now, I know these will be the exact same kids that I’ll be teaching in the schools, but I’m …keep reading

Trigger #125: Honesty …

You’ve decided to go shopping in all of the little shops that line the downtown area of your town. As you come out of a store you see a woman getting into her car. As she gets into her car she drops her pocketbook. She then shuts the door and drives away. No one sees …keep reading

Trigger #124: Surprise …

Your on your way out the front door to go to work and you find a basket outside your door with a tiny baby in it. The baby looks healthy and happy and doesn’t seem to have been there very long. Pinned to the basket is a note asking you to please take care of …keep reading
