The Donahue Roast

The blogging community is an extremely interesting one. I am going to start putting links on here to other people’s blogs, because they are far more interesting than mine. Take for example, this entry from a friend up in the art department here. This is serious blogging. I am much more into the technology side of bulding and maintaining a website than the content side. Nonetheless, I suppose that after I get out of Seminary I will be more apt to publish serious things on here, but as of right now the little time that my brain allows me to think critically is spent on my papers for class.
Anywho, Julie and I finished up Christmas shopping Saturday morning, and sent the gifts home so we don’t have to worry about them on the plane. In the evening we went over to the Ardrey for continued discussion of the ‘multiplication’ of our small group early next year, as well as some long-awaited Ardrey Chili and the train game. It’s technically called Ticket to Ride, but we just call it the train game now.
Sunday was the children’s musical at Church, but Dave, Andy, Sherwin and I did a few songs in the beginning as well as a song from the Relient K Christmas CD. It was a blast – the drumset was torn down so I used all the auxillary percussion instruments I could find. The musical was fun, and in the evening Brad came over for pot roast. It was a great time of talking about this past semester and the semester ahead, as well as life and love and why. I also confessed to Brad my God-mandated task to recruit fresh pastors for the Maine district, and I am pretty sure he’ll come. The conversation sparked a renewed sense of longing for Vacationland, and in the few minutes of devotional time I had last night I found this,

Hope deferred makes the heart sick,
But a longing fulfilled is the tree of life.

And now I just need to figure out what that means.
Peace out.
