sometimes you have to wait until the end of the season to see the fruits of your labor...
this past weekend was an incredibly busy one for me. brent preached in big church which left me in charge of the high school sunday school. i've never taught high school before so i was a little nervous. to make things even more crazy, most of the youth staff were out enjoying honeymoons and what have you so i had to sort of build a crew to help me out. thankfully my buddy jude came through and taught the junior high sunday school while i took care of the announcements and the high school lesson. hey, announcements are a big deal at our church. i really think that being able to do the announcements is one of the spiritual gifts. well not really but a lot goes into announcement time for the sunday school classes. but all in all i think things went well. for high school we've been on this head to heart series and looking at how the christian walk fleshes itself out. so for sunday night i thought we would just have a night of prayer and praise. give the students a chance to reflect on their spiritual walk and what that means to them. i had the kids get into small groups and i told them to first get to know each other and then pray for each other. i don't know how many of them really got around to praying but hopefully a little bit of unity developed. i think the night went pretty well.
on top of having to prepare for sunday i officially became a wedding singer this weekend. what originally started out as me backing up william on guitar for three songs to be played as people filed in at the beginning of the wedding turned into three songs to be played during the ceremony in addition to twenty minutes of prelude music. so saturday morning, the day of the wedding at around eleven, william and i with guitars in hand were trying to come up with enough wedding appropriate music to play before the ceremony that would last twenty minutes. i really only know worship songs and he just freestyles so we did our best to combine to two. we came up a little sort in the prelude and had to repeat a song and we farted on some chords during canon in d but i don't think anyone noticed. a woman did ask william and i if we had a business card. we'll be kickin' off our wedding tour next month.
some other randomness:
-i helped another turtle across the road today.
-during a class discussion on friday a girl mentioned that the jewelry store james avery will be discontinuing much of their jewelry with crosses on them because that particular symbol is no longer popular. that's kind of a sad thought really. the cross no longer being popular.
-when the guy last night at wingstop asked me for my name so he could write it on the order i told him my name was bono. misunderstanding what i said he repeated back to me "boner". i told him no and decided i should probably change it to "the edge". he looked at me kind of funny but said ok. when i finally got my order the guy informed me that my new name was "bonito". i guess somebody thinks i'm cute.
-i love eggnog lattes.
