You know the point of “exhaustion” where you’re just plain loopy?
I’m “almost” there.
I can’t explain it, except to say that I’m “tired”. But not tired like “ready to go to bed”, but tired like “I need a blanket, a couch, a pillow, and about 50 dvds – and someone to change those dvds when their over”
I’m pretty sure Mt. Dew would take care of this problem, but that – and other – carbonated beverages are out of the question.
So, I’ll finish my PowerAde and turn into FULL-THROTTLE-YOUTH-PASTOR in an hour and pray that I don’t have a meltdown.
Tomorrow will be a busy day. I’m heading to Jess’ classroom in the afternoon to play Magician again – this time I’m bringing icecream for the kids – some sort of a reward for them being good! Then in the evening I’m playing “Computer Technician” for my buddy Matt VanKirk.
Tonight at theBOX we’re reviewing two songs: “I Don’t Wanna Be” by Gavin DeGraw and “Since You’ve Been Gone” by Kelly Clarkson. We’ll listen to the song while reading the lyrics and then have discussion on whether or not the song has “Sound Advice”. I’ve also got my own “youth pastor” statements about each song and Scripture to read regarding the “theology” of both songs.
Tonight we’re also introducing a COUNTDOWN timer to get things started. I’ll start the 3-minute timer about a minute-or-so after 7 and hope that they notice the screen counting down the time before we start. We’ll see how that goes..
