Tuesday (random)

It's hard to concentrate while the ladies bible study is here. Not that I mind at all, but sometimes, you know, like if my door is closed... it might mean I'm trying to DO something. :)

Anyway... some random stuff:

• Jane signed up for school last night at Indiana Tech (in Huntington). She's shooting for a bachelors in Organizational Leadership or something like that. Although they say they can't tell her how much it's going to cost yet - and classes start Monday! I don't understand that part. Anyway, I hope it's not too much, because I think she will really like it.
  
• I have felt like crap since Friday night. My back is killing me. I don't know if it was all the riding, or if something has just sort of "settled" in my back area. It's nothing serious - this seems to happen every year about this time. I think it's allergy related maybe. My whole body kinda hurts, and my head feels like a melon. Not real pain, but just a nagging, constant discomfort. I'm tense all over. My back actually feels better now than it did Sunday morning. I was a little worried I wasn't going to be able to stand for the worship gathering. But moving around must have loosened it up some. Every now and then I get this feeling like I'm going to pass out though. Not that I'm going to, but it just feels like it.
• Today I have to get a haircut. Well, I don't 'have' to, but I am going to. I don't know why I hate getting haircuts. I don't like not having my glasses on. I can't see. And they trap you under that cape. Sometime I'd like to just take off running outside with the cape still on.
• I started reading Scot McKnight's "Jesus Creed" again. I've started this book a million times and just can't seem to stick with it. Usually I give up when that happens, but I WANT to read this book. I like it, I don't know why I can't stay with it though. I'm looking forward to hearing him speak in Findlay in January. He is from a town near where I'm originally from. I always remember the town because their schools name is the Pretzels - the Freeport Pretzels. I think they have a pretzel factory there. I wonder what their mascot is?
• I feel like I'm on drugs. I guess I am - allergy medication. Everything is slow motion. Man, my body aches. All over.
  
• A couple of weeks ago we sang "Kum-ba-yah" at our Sunday worship gathering. I had more people give positive comments about that than anything we've done in a long time. It actually was pretty cool. Sometimes things like that "click" and sometimes they don't. I think we may do it this week before communion. It's World Communion Sunday this Sunday, you know.
• I think Saturday night we're going to see Stephen Curtis Chapman. I haven't seen him in concert in a loooong time. I used to always like him. Seemed like a really good guy. In fact, when I decided to go to seminary - I wasn't really planning to be a pastor. I actually had visions of SCC or Rich Mullins or someone. I thought it would help me be a better songwriter. Funny thing is... I haven't written a single song since. Can you say "pipedream"? :)
• This is Tuesday. Just in case you wondered. But October has ALWAYS been a bad month for me. I don't know if it's seasonal allergies or what. But it's always been this way. 29 days to go.

peace.
