trepidation and jitter
23 June 2004

this friday i take the kids on a camping retreat to lake michigan, and to be honest i'm a little worried and anxious. i know, i shouldn't be, i'm doing my part and i should let God do His, but it's very difficult for me not to sometimes. i'm trying to find the right balance between fun, service, and spirituality so that the youth group is making progress in all 3 areas. it's hard! especially hard for me, because i know how to turn on the fun in a second.

i told the kids tonight that i need them to focus on God a whole lot while we're on this retreat, that we would not be having a whole lot of games and things, yeah a little, but really just a bunch of devotional time alone and in groups. they took me seriously, but i know somebody is going to be zoning out thinking about fun and it will get to me somehow and then i will get upset and try and play God and tell said person to grow up and "get spiritual." wrong tactic.

i'm praying against this crap. i gotta cut it out or it's gonna give me a heart attack and acid reflux one of these days.

jeff is playing godzilla today. this one tree in the tank is like his humping post or something; he just won't stop knocking it down and climbing on it. i think he is intimidated that he's not the tallest thing in the tank. he's certainly not the cleanest thing in that tank either. he reeks!

apparently i'm not the cleanest person either, at least not around zaxby's teriyaki wings!
