It has been a while since I updated the blog here, but it is not because nothing has been going on; it is because too much has been going on.
- As I told you a few weeks ago, I have moved to a much more convenient apartment closer to downtown. While this is an overall gain, the 101 things you need when you have a full apartment that you do not need when renting a room means I am at the dollar store almost every day.
- Yesterday was my birthday and I got to spend the night before with the awesome folks over at Merge – we had dinner together, they baked me a homemade chocolate cake and we broke bread at the Lord’s Table after that. I love communion…
- I mentioned on the blog a few weeks ago that I had been wrestling with burnout earlier in the year. Well, be assured that I am much better now (although I do appreciate the emails that came in from those of yo worried about me). It was just a matter of not having a realistic schedule and goals.
- The work continues, and with near 100 degree heat, everyone is running to ground during the day. People who used to be in the park all day are now to be found at Cornerstone, in the library and drinking very small drinks at local coffee shops.
- There is more I want to tell you about churches that have come on board to support me, cool new people I have met and some success stories, but honestly, they all need their own post. So, hopefully this weekend I will get some computer time and bring you all up to date.
I enjoyed your birthday cake too! And the communion time was great. Remind me when I get back from Guatemala to try to get you in on a breakfast or lunch mtg with Donnie Williams from Lifepointe Church sometime soon…
