Youth Group 3 Hours
Meeting with tony for mid-term evaluation 1 hour
Personal reflection:
This week was a good week for me, so I went to youth feeling good with a good attitude. I remember from last week that I really want to put time into the students, learn their names, and step out to meet them. So at the start of the night I was running around with the younger guys (because we know that the older guys are too cool to be running around… who knows maybe their baggie pants will fall down) throwing dodge balls at each other. After doing that awhile I saw two girls volleying around a kickball and so I joined them. First I got their names and said “I am David” (why do I always feel so dumb when I say my name?) I wish I could remember all their names but I can’t… I don’t remember anything much more significant about that night besides the end when I got to play twenty-one with some of the older guys… That was lots of fun, I didn’t just go home after youth because I had so much homework… I stuck around, and made more connection through a game of basketball.
Spiritual Reflection:
This week has been a restful relaxing time; I got my work done early so that I could take me fiancé on a date this week end. Our relationship has been distant lately because school has been so overwhelming. It was a great time to spend with her, we went to the Zoo and then to Olive Garden… I would love to talk all about it but this is not the place… I just realized that I have like a ton of meal swiped left (84), so I am getting up for breakfast now and eating. It is nice because for some reason when I get up early on my own consent, I feel good and energized and motivated for the day. Any way I am going to try to keep my consistent devotions in the mornings now, because it is hard for me to stay in the word when I don’t put time aside to do it. And I can’t put time aside unless I have a set time for it…
See you in class

Dave, man, I'm caught up with you now! Both in my own blogs and in commenting on yours. Boy, I have a lot to do for tomorrow...
Hey man, props for trying to learn their names...I only have four guys on average so names come pretty easily! I've been told that just making the attempt to remember (even if you don't quite get it) means a lot. That is only sometimes true, though. but props anyway...way to stay committed to your convictions!
Last week, you said you were drained because of a lack of rest. It is good to see you are getting rest now. I need to get back to disciplining myself to get up in the morning and do that, too. You should join me for breakfast sometime, I usually sit in the Blue Marble Bistro area...
