Maybe you don't know, but ministers actually DO work. It may not be shoveling dirt, dreaming up new architecture or governing a nation, but we are pretty busy. Sure there are those that get by as slackers in ministry (most of those are PULPIT guys, not youth ministers). In fact, most youth ministers I know work just about as hard as anyone. I did a review of my hours recently and figured out that my average work week doing ministry is about 75 hours per week. WOW! That is freaky on one hand, but when you realize that your entire life (whether you get paid or not) should be 100% ministry. I guess I'm a slacker!
We have started moving stuff back into our basement from the flood we came home to in August. We have new carpet and a new desk for the office which is nice. I'm so far behind in my homework for graduate school. I need to catch up, and a good place to study will help out.
Well tomorrow is the OU vs. Kansas game, 10 AM on Fox Sports Net. I can't wait to watch the thrashing. How unfair is it that OU is number 3 in the BCS? PLEASE let's go to a playoff system NCAA! You guys have to be smart enough to realize how much money you can make off it... and in my opinion, it will help ALL the bowls make more money, especially the second tier bowls. I rant on...
So hey, make some comments to my blog! I'd love to hear from you.

Welcome to my world!
My first blog entry. Hope you like it.. and welcome to my world!
Today's been a busy day. Working on a cool worship service for this coming Sunday morning. We'll see if I get into trouble with it.. I don't think I will, but you never know.
The Rocky Mountain Rescue youth conference was supposed to start today. I had a few groups cancel out on me in the past few days so we cancelled. The kids and I are so bummed about it. I'm sure with a few years of therapy, we'll all get through it.
Probably the most stressful thing on my plate is my work for this semester at LCU as I continue my MDiv in Youth Ministry. I'm 1/3 the way there. It's one of those deals that I love and hate at the same time. Anyone know of an easy way to learn Hebrew?
I really want to write a book. Any thoughts on a topic?
Here's my list for today... the first 10 songs I can think of from the 1980's... can you add your list?
1. Kokomo by the Beach Boys (that's me and Kristi's song)
2. Just What I Needed by the Cars
3. Brick House by the Commodores
4. 1999 by Prince
5. Come on Ilene by Dexy's Midnight Runners
6. Take Off by Bob and Doug Mackenzie and Getty Lee from Rush
7. Superfreak by Rick James
8. All My Rowdy Friends Have Settled Down by Hank Williams, Jr.
9. Call Me by Skyy
10. Free Bird by Lynyrd Skynyrd
