okay, the last time i tried to post there was an error in the blooger system and i wasn't able to - i lost what i had typed -- so, it's been about a month - have i mentioned i hate pa in the winter -- it's cold everywhere i go - the only one warm spot is my office at the Mission.

the past month as been a typical -- a bit different than in previous years -- figuring out this whole FACTS thing - paying my first installment of tution for the semester, ording books, forgetting E-campus passwords, speaking at several different churches, being sleep deprived, having interesting God conversations with kk co-workers, lamenting on those who have left the programs, seeing new people visit beaver, being seen as more than just that girl who works at the mission and used to work with college students at the beaver falls clergy meeting -- having them give me my first opportuntiy to "preach" - albeit, a short devo. but at a lenten dinner service -- something that wouldn't happen in baptist life, realizing my world and veiws are changing - i'm at beaver for the people not because it's southern baptist - denomination really doesn't matter to me anymore - really reconnecting with my roots, enjoying the new look of nascar.com -- that kasey kane is a hottie! - i think i'm going to root for kane, kevin harvick, and of course gordon - i think mr. slovan would smack me if i didn't. i'm realizing how much of a homebody i'm turning into - i like my bed, the down time. I'm seeing the book of james with new eyes - thanks mostly in part to pastor's deep teaching. understanding just because they are gone - those families will always be part of beaver - wondering if the vast majority of my life has been a waste - still not sure what's next - but okay with it -- missing somethings but not missing most of it - lamenting over sore toes -- in a nutshell that's been my month. there's more i could say - but i need to get ready for a vbs fair that's tonight - i get to go pimp the mission!!
