Current Music: Until It Sleeps - Metallica
Current Mood: Good
Current Musings: This is really pretty random....

Wow.. So yeah, its been a while. I've moved back to my hometown in OH. It still as small as i remember it, and its just as boring (if not more so). Since returning from LU, I have been working as a high school youth pastor with another guy. Its been cool, but so far we really have only done a lot of planning (while the school year programming was winding down). The first of our events is tomorrow night... pray that the weather is good for it and that everyone who is supposed to be there comes.

Actually, you can be praying for the youth group as much as you can, but especially on monday nights since that is when our events will be held. Its really interesting. Thomas (the other guy working with me) and I have pretty much free reign over what happens this summer, with only a few non-negotiables laid out before us. We need to set up 3 main environments: Foyer (low key, for fringe kids to come and be comfortable at); Living room (more of an overt emphasis on spiritual things, learning practical application of biblical principles); and the Kitchen (where serving takes place, along with discipleship. The other non-negotiable is that all the programs have to be excellent and exceed expectations (basically be good enough to leave the students wanting more).

For those of you who dont' know, a week ago the youth band went to a catholic school to do a concert for them. I was asked to speak there in between sets. It went amazingly good. I think God really used us that day. We were even asked to come back in the fall. We even got paid $550 to do it.. and that definately helps out our budget for work camp in July! Are you happy now Cooky?

I guess thats about all. I definately miss all my friends. It's so boring around here because you guys are all "hey, i'm going to go to other places, where Sup isn't." Yes... I blame you! ;) :p
