today we’re off for three days of camping with friends. we’re going to a campground that’s only 45 minutes away, which is pretty nice, considering how much we’ve been traveling so much. other than setting up our use-to-be-wonderful tent, it should be 48 hours of lazy, which is just what the doctor ordered right now. both kids are bringing friends, which, from a purely selfish perspective, means they’ll be more self-sustaining, which leaves more space for me to sit like a freakin’ slug around the campfire. i’m preaching this coming weekend (and the next) at my church — so that will be hanging over my head a bit. we’re not bringing all the high-tech gear this year (like we did last year).
i won’t be back to blogland until wednesday evening or thursday. and i think i need a few more days of stewing before i finish my post about the similarities between the religious right and the early nazi party (coming out of my visit to the holocaust museum).
Who manages your life? I can’t keep up with you dude. You’re crazy. Somedays I envy you and some days I feel sorry for you. Today…I envy you. Have fun being a slug. Don’t think about the sermons, in fact I think you should wing em. When’s the last time you winged it? Just do it once to remember the good old days.
peace,
Brian
I’m speaking in our adult services in a few weeks and it’s totally hanging over my head. It’s the weekend we leave for summer camp so the timing couldn’t be much worse.
This is a note to the other people who read this blog. I just visited the YS website for the first time, and read the eulogies read by Mike Yaconelli’s kids at his memorial. You can read them at http://www.youthspecialities.com/yaconelli. I think this one might have changed my life: http://www.youthspecialties.com/yaconelli/funeral/marksd.php
That’s all.
Sorry. I spelled specialties wrong in that first link.
