Just Thinking…

Well, I still dont have internet at my house and its driving me nuts. I think its because I went onto the budget home phone plan with telstra and it appears they have blocked me getting internet with anyone other than bigpond while I am on that plan. Its just dodgy I think – and Im a shareholder!

The job is going well,  most of the youth stuff started last week and this week. We had a commissioning service for the youth leaders and it was quite well attended. Some of the morning service people came so that was encouraging. Most of the time I feel like I am on top of the job and things are sorted, but sometimes I remember how much I have to learn still and feel like I have lost it. But its going well, I am going to stuff some things up and things are going to take me longer because I am learning as I go, but thats OK I think.

I have been writing the devotions for this term of kids club, thats age 4 to year 3. We are doing 3 weeks on prayer then the rest of the term on Easter. I dont know how people did any of this before the internet, I guess the range of thought was more limited.

The kitchen at my house is finally finished, it was meant to be done before I moved in, but its done now. They have left the place so messy!

I also have a new computer. My old one just kept stuffing up too much, the battery wouldnt charge and i couldnt play music from it, so I got a new one. Alastair sorted it all out for me and I picked it up yesterday. Its good so far, I just need to get used to the new keyboard.

Health – well Im feeling pretty good really. I have managed to get back to the gym which helps my sleeping a lot. I still need to eat more vegies, but all in all im feeling good and positive.

And last, but not least, is Lent. We are doing Lent specific studies for our Youth Group devotions this term, last week they went really well. I have been struggling to decide what I am going to give up, but I think I am going to give up take away food – specifically, take away food that is not prepared specifically for me. Eg, Red Rooster is out because that chicken could have been for anyone, but Thai or Chinese food is OK because I call and order it. I think I have to put Pizza in the not Ok column though. Hopefully this will work in with my new diet and motivate me to cook more.
