Taking a note from Paul

Ok. I know it's been a long time. Honestly, I have had a busy month. From the last post, everyone should know I have a new job. While that's kept me somewhat busy, I've also been making some changes around the house, cleaning my office, transitioning to new after school duties, driving to Houston, etc. I'll try to cover as much as is relevant. Needless to say, I am finding myself much happier.

While I have been "absent", I have started a few posts. They just never got finished. So I am taking a note from Paul, and just going to write a quick note on a few.

The last post was a testament to Blogspot's spell check and ease of use. I barely even remember composing it, but it was there when I woke up. I've had to correct more grammar and spelling in this post then I have found in that one.

Due to the schedule change at church, I have been able to attend more of the main services. Because it was something I had thought of doing, and because I was hoping to get the youth of the church more involved, I signed up to be a lay leader. To that end, last Sunday, I got up in front of the congregation and led the opening part of the service. I had to spend a few hours last week coming up with Opening Words, and Candles of Memory and Hope (We light this candle in memory/hope of... ). Most of my involvement has been with the youth of the church, so getting up in front of the adults and working with them was a new thing for me.
