OK, so I haven't posted anything in a long time. That is true. The last few weeks, I thought I was posting stuff. I wrote it out and clicked on the post button, but nothing ever appeared on the site. This week I found out that I'm an idiot and I'm supposed to be clicking on the post & publish button. Go figure.
Currently, I'm working to get things up and going again after a great holiday. It is honestly kinda tough coming back to work. Although I truly love my job.
I finished reading Brian McClaren's book, More Ready Than You Realize (subtitled Evangelism as Dance in the Postmodern Matrix.) This was great and will probably be a must read for any of my students that are going to YouthWAVE. If you don't know what YouthWAVE is, please check out www.youthwave.org It is one of the best tools I have ever come across for equipping high school students to share their faith with their friends.
I'm about half way through a book called Traveling Mercies, by Ann Lamott, an incredibly gifted writer. I'll try to write some reviews of books I read as I finish them, but no promises. I've set a goal of trying to read 50 books this year, which for me will be a good challenge.

I am primarily spending my time these days- waiting. Waiting for the next program at church to get started, waiting for our church to hire a preacher, waiting for God to help me make sense of all the crazy things I've been reading and thinking about in the last few months, waiting for the students in my youth group to finally... get it, and waiting for our new baby to arrive. The later event should take place on February 14th, 2003. Valentine's day, which I think is pretty cool. Right now I'm trying to decide if I want to find out if it's a boy or girl. There are definately advantages either way. I think I'm going to wait and let it be a surprise,. .. .or maybe not. Let me know what you think. To be continued . . .
