my daily rambling

June 19, 2002

we had men's group tonight.

i had to plan the Bible study. haven't done that in a really long time. i had no idea what i was doing. i used to write them when i was a devotional leader, but i guess it's different now. how do you write one that is 'deep' or encourages new thoughts on pre-existing topics? as i was writing it, i was thinking that it was basically things we already knew or have talked about before. but i guess having affirmation for certain topics is good if it's the 'right' point in your life? *shrugs* it's kind of like being a preacher i guess. how do you write material that challenges people, etc.? jer brought up an interesting point that he's read from a book called "travelling light" by max lucado. just touching on being content on where we are at RIGHT now as opposed to always wanting to be doing this or that. and i think that especially applies for both of us. since we don't have jobs we have nothing to do and we're not content with that. but i mean that allows us to do so many things.

jon and jer also have gotten fed up with my church thing. lol. so i think i'll be taking a break from markham. i don't want to leave, but i want to get away for a while. check out somewhere else. maybe a caucassian church. some place where i'm completely unknown. i was thinking of ETCBC, but then i know people there, so that might not be so good. i just wanna be at a place where i can learn and whatever. see how that works out. so i'll be looking for a church come september. i think i'll take a break for 4 months first (that's what jer suggested), seems like a decent amount of time. we'll see what happens from there!

as for the august 31st thing, i got to contact the people organizing it and see what they were all about. i think our group is pulling in a slightly different direction so i think we're gonna keep the evenings separate from one another. i'll talk about it with the team on saturday though. i tried contacting anson. he's still hiding from me! hopefully i can get in contact with him soon about this thing, so he can JOIN us! :) that'd be awesome.

i started watching some of the messages from passion on a hill. it's about the glory of God. an interesting series. i'm going to have to just SIT and do nothing else but listen to those sermons one of these days. i've already 'heard' two of them and it's pretty good. it's kind of like worshipping God in everything that we do but a little bit of twist on it. i look forward to hearing all of them!

anyhow, i gotta wake up somewhat early tomorrow morning. gonna play tennis! wahoo :) g'nite :)
