Sheesh has it been that long?

From October to January … good grief. I can’t even remember what was going on at the time (looks back at his calendar) … Oh now I remember. Yea … got past that stuff.

It is MLK weekend, I have gained more time to relax and unwind that I’m probably forgetting that I have something to do, but for now I’ll take a little ignorance. What I’m probably dealing with is a bit of left over vacation from Christmas break. I think Christmas was the first time I had some good time off for about 1 year. There was just something that was nutty about last year and I felt like I really didn’t have time off.

I cannot begin to tell ya’ll about how little I did over Christmas break. Well I did a lot but you know what I mean. I got to see many old friends and lots of youth group kids. Wished one of them a well being away to Austin, TX. He will be much missed when I go home. Did bunches of random stuff around the house, got cool new toys (see below) and all in all had a wonderful time at home.

One of the things that has kept me sane this whole time has been a Disneyland annual pass. I have been to Disneyland 3 times since September with plans to go more as the year continues. More than anything it is just a wonderful time out to goof off and get away from the think tank that is at home. Or at least be able to think clearly. Fuller seems so crowded sometimes. I’ll take a 20 min line and it is a little more open than the atmosphere on Fuller. Or maybe that is just the goofball in me.

Speaking of Fuller …
I’m taking Presbyterian History and Programs (feels like a one sided review of history, but there is a stronger sense of Reformed theology so I connect with it a bit better), Homiletics (Preaching - excited and nervous), and Biblical Organization Leadership (Now that you’re a leader, what do you do with the rest of the church body?). I’m auditing Leadership in Youth Ministry (Chapland - woo hoo!), and am continuing my internship in Burbank (Preaching in Feb, Doing Good Friday in March).

My birthday is coming up and all I would really like is to not have a midterm the next day. I have some stuff that I can't talk about yet, but I'm super excited! But for now … as the daily show would say … your moment of Zen …
