But to all of those many viewers who have been waiting for another post, my sincerest apologies. I shall now remedy the situation.
Let's see... Brief update since January 2008? I graduated from UGA, started working at Savannah Christian Church as a Elementary Ministry Intern, and have been doing so for around 6 months now. Many other things happened... Major things, but if I were to actually hunker down and try to type them all out I would become rather bored with myself, and that would be a shame.
So instead, you (again, assuming someone will eventually be reading these) will have to settle with hearing about my present. Approximately 2 weeks ago I started dating Lauren "Lub Dubs" Winters. For those of you that know us, you are probably thinking "finally." Leave it as a thought, please, I've heard it before. Despite the large portion of punkhood that went into the making of this relationship (99 parts my punkhood, mind you), I cannot help but look at it and see God's hand in the whole affair. He is good. Too good to me, but last I checked that is kind of how He rolls.
So, that's pretty big. The SCC production "The Journey" also starts tonight. For those of you that have never seen The Journey, just imagine a Christmas Story Theme Park. The entire SCC campus is turned into an interactive theatre entirely focused on telling the story of Jesus' birth. I am participating as a Joseph. The best part: I get to do a little acting, which I haven't done in years (barring my ridiculous roles with the kids, of course). The worst part: Patch Adams, as Lyle likes to call my beard. God gave me a lot of things that I am very thankful for... Ol' Patches is not one of them. In two weeks, the razor will come out... And I'll form this thing into
something humorous. I'll try to get pictures up of that sometime.
In a couple of days I will be giving my first "big boy" sermon. Doug Hartley has been kind enough to give me the opportunity to teach in the high school ministry at SCC. I'm a little concernicus, but hey, how hard can it be? If anyone thinks that high schoolers are a tougher crowd than 5th grade boys, they are crazy. In all seriousness, I'm excited. God gave me my story for a reason... Now perhaps I can share some of the comfort he has been so gracious as to give me.
I'll end this brief and insufficient 12 month update with a bang. I'm out of my league, no?
