I really enjoyed myself tonight. We had our second Case for Kids Roundtable class tonight. Last week was our first. Notice how you haven't heard much about it. Last week I was late to class - my sitter was running behind. It started a chain reaction. We didn't end up starting class until 6:30. A half hour late. Well with an hour class there goes half the time. I wanted to end on time. So I had to cut out a lot of stuff. And rush a lot of stuff. It wasn't relaxed, fun, etc. It was very informational. I just wasn't pleased.
This week, was way better. We were talking about how some people said that Jesus was just crazy, insane. The book showed characteristics of insanity. (upredictable emotions - anger or depression at odd times, problems carrying out logical conversations, thinking people are out to get you etc.) Then it showed ways that Jesus acted - how he cried when his friend died - but that was a predictable emotion, how he got angry when people cheated the poor - but many people would be angry at that, (you get the point). So we got to wear a crazy hair wig I made and act as a crazy person. I would give them a scenario (you just got and A on a test) and they had to act out like a crazy person would (angry, upset). Basically the opposite emotion. Would Jesus have acted like that? What an illogical idea they had. Anyways, it was really fun. I'm working on getting some computers set up for the end of class so they can put together Power Point presentations with information they learned each week. Then on that Sunday they can set up at church and people can go see their presentation. They liked the idea.
I love having fun with the Bible. Someone asked me if I ever wished I wasn't doing so much at church. I've thought about that. I work at school, have a family, am very involved in church. Time, what is the best use of my time. I know that I love ministry. I love it all. I like planning calendars, strategizing for new formats (something we've been doing lately), teaching, acting, playing, dicipling (kids and adults). I decided I like what I do at church. I don't want to see myself less involved really. I want to see more people involved, but even with that I think I can still be active. Sometimes I do feel time constraints, but I don't blame it on church. I blame it on my day job! Now there's six hours everyday that I can't say I love! I enjoy being with people at work, and even seeing some kids. But I don't love it.
Imagine being home (kids in school). Things would not be so on the go. I could even get my blogging done at a decent hour (in theory) . There is that money thing, though. Even with our financial improvements, we'd feel it if I left work. Less fun money. Pray for me. In my head this is the year of decisions. Time.

i am happy to hear that your small group went well this week.
i was wondering.
mag, i got my first paycheck today. it was $670. so, i kinda made more at OG....with about 1/3-1/2 the hours.
a big chunk was taken out, though, for AFLAC.
are you sick of that duck at your house yet? The one that goes, "Aflac! Aflac! AFLACCCCCCCCKCKKKKKKKKK!"
:oP
is that for a whole month?? oh wait no, for two weeks right? you'd make about the same as a parapro. well its 240 more for you. hmmm. what are you thinking??
maybe i don't like leadership over me more than i like leadership for myself... [well, everyone has to say that fundamentally. what does fundamentally mean here? anywho....]
hahahaha....
maybe if i loved leadership more, i would definetely want a para position cauze I would have someone telling me what to do, i would have so much less work, and I would essentially be making the same money.
there is hardly any para jobs in scs, though... not like i would go to them for a transfer...
a foolish man is one who dosen't take counsel. mag, where on the continuem am I?
and how do you incorporate the different intelligences, personalities, and learning styles with that thing.
maybe i will end up being a server again. you are very much your own boss, there. bad hours, though. so, in response to your question of 'what are you thinking,' i am happy i am here instead of OG cauze of the hours. plus i get my feet to the fire much more, in the career sense.
just watch, in another year or two when my pride gets sanded down to a functional level, i will be working under george at wal-mart.
i feel like a bat over the ocean today. there is a huge reverberating echo in my head, offset with a -whish-whish like the tide. i really hope this cold thing will evaporate out of my head.
rambling for the day from holly. :oP
do what you love. money isn't everything. if you love what you are doing even though you put in a lot of timea and effort it won't seem as bad. keep your priorities straight, whatever they are. Hmm. maybe I should listen to myself.
