Consumed by the Call

I'm working on a service project. I was asked if I could help weatherize an old chicken coop with one of our youth group students. Today I'm preping the window panels (building) so that all we need to do on sight is hang them. The structure is tall and difficult to work on. Last year we assisted with this project and we decided it might be better to make frames to go over each window.

I haven't worked out in several weeks because of my leg issue and the national youth workers convention. I walked alot while I was in St. Louis but I wasn't strict about my diet. Today I'm back on track. I'm also looking forward to getting a little space heater so I can continue to do my strength training in my garage. I was in the garage yesterday and the weights and bars were like holding ice cubes. Here is my setup.

The kids played a bunch of relay games and had Hot Chocolate and Cappichinos. It was a good night. We also talked about our dreams for the future and had a time of meditation.

I'm hoping some of our kids are interesting in attending the NYE scheduled for next year. It only happens every four years. Go to this link for more info: Click

St. John UCC is going through another confirmation change. I'm excited to see the final version but at the same time I feel left out. I hope this new confirmation process will be all the parents hope for. Here is a link to Wikipedia's definition of confirmation. Click

We got back home last night and we are in the process of getting life back to normal today. Kirsten and I really missed the kids and its great to be back home with them.

Well, we had a lowkey worship experience this morning. After that kirsten went to the Labyrinth and I went back to the exhibit hall. I talked to a few exihibitors then I walked to Panera Bread Co. I guess they haven't been very prepared for the massive amount of hungry youth workers. They have sold out each day by midday. Today was no different. I walked in and ordered whatever they could make me which I still haven't looked into my mystery lunch bag yet. Exciting. I waited for about 25 minutes for them to make my food and just about the time I got my food they closed the registers. I hope my lunch is good.
