I feel bad about the last post. It was mean and petty. Though, I’m not going to delete it. This blog seems to be more about knowing myself than others knowing me. As long as you understand that, I think we’ll be fine. I want to be able to look back and know who I was at this point in time. All this aside I am sorry for the blunt weapon of my speech.

Right now the church’s internet is really frustrating me. I’m connected to the network, I have five bars, it is clearly a strong signal. But I’m not getting any internet at all. It just comes up Server not found. Arla said something about it not being able to handle too many computers on at a time. Well, that mustn’t be it because I think there is only one other computer on right now. It just won’t work. Why? I have tried to connect at other times, other days and it never has worked. I’m very frustrated.

I just talked to PK and he said that you have to have a password to log on and they are only giving out a limited number of passwords. PK said he doesn’t even have a password. But he did say that I could use his office computer.

This morning we got some not so awesome news from Peter. He tells us that his laptop and video camera were left in his unlocked car over night. Consequently, they were not there in the morning. It seems to be exactly the kind of that always happens to Peter. We also don’t have the serial number for any of his stuff. So that if it were to show up at a pawn shop, we wouldn’t be able to claim it without the serial number. All in all, I am very disappointed.

After work today I went right to church to meet mom to help with The Passion Play stage crew. She was supposed to be there at 4:30 and I had gotten off work at 3:30. Seemed like the perfect time to have a chat with PK. Unfortunately, he had left the church an hour beforehand and had gone home. While it may have been a bit presumptuous, I just drove over to his house to see if he wanted grab a bite. It was all a bit awkward just showing up at his house expecting him to come do something with me. Though, PK always does seem to be a good sport about instantaneous gatherings.

He and I went over to Caribou Coffee for some, ya know, coffee. PK brought his lappy so that we could take a look at The Altered Youth Group blog and so I could explain it to him, not that it needed much explaining. Well, that didn’t quite work out. We couldn’t get PK’s lappy to work. It wouldn’t see the network or something like that. I think it could at some point since at first it did start to try to load caribou.com. I didn’t get it. PK’s lappy is really kinda, very old.

We did talk about Peter and stuff… I don’t really remember what else we spoke of. Something about how it is rude to talk on the phone while you’re with people. About how we’ll be switching youth leader meetings from Monday nights to Wednesday nights after church. I don’t know, we just talked about random stuff.

Random of random, I saw Niki Tungren at Caribou. She introduced me to her boyfriend Charles…err…I think that was his name. She and her boy where sitting playing DS while waiting for her car’s oil change to be done. I introduced her to PK and that awkward, here is this person I’m here with, kind of way.

Now I am sitting in the sanctuary watching them run through a dress rehearsal. As exciting as this may be, I think I’ll head home soon. So long, Gents.

I have too many wonderful beautiful ideas for youth group. I want to start a blog in which the students may discuss their lives. Too question everything they are told. I want them to really think about what they are fed and make sure they really know their faith. I don’t want it to just be our parent’s faith any more. To take it and make it their own, and to in turn give it to those around them. I believe that people are much more affected by their peers than any teacher or adult. I want the kids to embrace God full heartedly. I want to make them think about it.

Another wonderful, beautiful idea of mine is to restart the Announcement Team. It would be absolutely wonderful if I could barrow Peter’s hard drive camera. That would make it so much easier. Just load it onto the lappy and away we go. Make all sorts of cool little videos, even just have the kids do it. Though, I would be surprised if Peter let me barrow his camera, even just for the evening. So we’ll see where this idea goes. I just think that it would just be an easy, fun way to get some of the kids involved.
