awesome
I have had one of the coolest weekends spent with friends doing some awesome things. I've been feeling so blessed this season of Lent that it doesn't even feel like Lent typically does for me. Usually Lent is very introspective, but I've got enough of that going on with trying to figure out what I'll be doing when August starts, so I figured I didn't need much more of that.
So I went out to dinner with my friend Leah on Saturday which was great because we haven't had a lot of time to just hang out lately. It was good to just sit and talk. We were going to go to a movie, but she was too sleepy so I went over and hung out at Jarrod and Whitney's house with Whitney and Chris, their roommate and a couple of other people. Jarrod was doing a lockin with his kids, and we just sat around and watched a few episodes of last season's 24. It was a fantastic way to unwind.
In the midst of it all, I was housesitting, and there is nothing better than coming back to a cat and a couple of awesome dogs. Saturday I got up and got going, and was at Billy and Tara's in the late morning to do some painting with Tara at their new house. We had a good time talking, and both agree that painting is somewhat therapeutic which is always good. That night I led worship with Tara at counterculture as well.
This morning I taught some of the social principles of the UMC to a Sunday School class. They loved me. And I loved teaching them. I've got 2 more Sundays of that, and then will have a curriculum to use to teach others. Awesome.
I came home, went out to lunch with friends, then went back to painting at Tara and Billy's. Then it was Lazer Tag time and other fun things at Hinkle Family Fun center. That was good times for sure. I had no idea how fun that was, but I am pretty sure that my team kept shooting me. It was a good night.
So, I was really busy all weekend and even managed to make it through losing the hour last night relatively unharmed. Hopefully this week is slightly more calm than last week. Lots of craziness happened at work. I do know there is some drama that I'll have to deal with this week, but hopefully it will all work out in the end. I just know there are lots of meetings in store for me in various areas of my life. And my general feeling about meetings right now is that meetings = one less opportunity I have to be in ministry.
