Pretty Much Sums it up

Here is a guy who pretty much sums up the way any student of music feels.

Good stuff

Merry Christmas

I took 80 shots of my girls hanging out by the Christmas Tree last night.

I love digital photography. I wouldn’t have taken more than 12 if I was shooting film.

Here are a few.

Merry Christmas from all 5 of us!

Weekend at Camp

I spent last weekend at one of my favorite places in the world.

I have so many fond memories of camp.

It was a good weekend of encouragement.

One of the things I took with me was that, if I want to minister to people, I need to work first on my relationship with God.

If I love God, I will love the things He loves, and God loves people.

I also had a little camera fun.

MySpace

So I signed up for a MySpace Page today.

I feel like I have sold out.

I added a bunch of old (really old) highschool friends, some youth group kids and some co-workers.
I now have 17 pending contacts, but 0 friends.

I am sure it takes time… but for now I feel like a loser…

Ahh… Another Friday

I had lunch with my wife today.

Back in the day, when she was teaching, I used to go out of my way to meet her for lunch on Teacher Workshop days (the few instances when she could get out for an hour).

Now that she holds an office job, the opportunities are more frequent. We just never do it.
It was refreshing to get to talk to her. Life is so busy this time of the year, we don’t have a lot of time to be a couple. We are spending so much time being parents, employees, volunteers etc that we forget our most important earthly role.

that said…

I am ditching her for the weekend to go to a leadership retreat up at camp. It will be fun (it is the place I met her). I haven’t been there in a number of years, but it is a place that is dear to my heart. We are taking 6 youth and 6 adults, all involved in youth group leadership.

I will have to post some pictures on Monday.
