The day never seemed to end today.
Seriously, everytime I looked at a clock to see what time it was, I was atleast an hour-or-so ahead in my brain.
Today we introduced Thomas Hall, our new interim music-guy, to “staff meeting”. He’s a Junior at IWU and has been helping us tremendously with music since we’re without leadership in that area. The board has decided to hire him part time to continue helping us. It’s good to have another guy in the office!
I had lunch this afternoon with Pastor Jonathan Light – from Silver Lake. He’s the solo minister at Silver Lake Wesleyan and has become a good ministry-friend of mine in the past 3-years of working only 15-minutes away. He has provided an ear for me to vent oftentimes and today a chance to get out of the office and chat with him about life and ministry was a good thing.
This afternoon I completely wiped out two of our old office computers and reinstalled Windows XP to get these two computers up in the youth room in the next few weeks. We’ll have internet access to the computers and have them available to students on Wednesday afternoons before theBOX starts each week. This is one-step closer to opening theBOX up on Wednesday afternoons for a place for teens to hang out before our worship time.
Tonight was my first Tuesday night without a softball game in forever! I left work and headed to Great Clips.
NOTE TO SELF: Tuesday afternoon is a GREAT time to get a haircut! Just a 2-minute wait and I was up in the chair being clipped! Does anyone else HAVE to go straight home and shower after getting a haircut? I just cannot stand the itchy hair that is on my neck and face after a haircut!
Also, on a sad-note, I begged the lady cutting my hair to tell me that she had placed the GRAY hair in the small pile of clippings resting on my hair-cutting smock this afternoon. She admitted that, “Yes, actually it’s from MY head!”, though with her age and her use of coloring, I can guarantee that this was infact just a comment to “help the poor guy out”.
Dad, thanks for the gray-before-normal genes…
I’m gonna go pout.
