stuck in reverse...

Phew! So it's been a good and crazy last, oh, 2 and a half weeks. I was so determined to blog 3 or more times each months, but considering my stats for the month of March are at a grand total of 2 I might want to reconsider. Fortunately, my lack of blogging has had the side effect of a renewed effort in calling and emailing people. Not nearly as many people as I would like but baby steps are always good.

Highlights of the last little stretch: Big Boi and Cake concert with sister, random phone calls and letters from friends, Spring retreat with CCF. Things have generally been going well. One of the really nice touches is that since coming back from Spring break I've been quite unmotivated, but school has been undemanding. I love when those two things coincide for usually the opposite is true.

Accountability group has kind of taken a shot in the foot. Three guys are in the group. Both of the other guys have different ideas of what accountability means, and I'm somewhere in the middle trying to make peace. It's not a battle or anything. Just neither of them is super interested in meeting now considering that they don't think they're getting anything out of it. Well, poo on that. The group may just end up dieing for the semester. We'll see. Maybe I can work some magic. Good Christian magic.

CCF is good as well. They had this huge deal called Mission Maasai trying to raise money for the Maasai people of Kenya and Tanzania who are suffering from a big drought. CCF threw a big, free benefit dinner and concert this past Monday night. They've also had assorted other means of raising money. I just was not into the whole thing. I mean, I'm all for raising money for needy people. It just seems that CCF always goes about things in such a backwards way. They can get so focused on all things new and bright and revolutionary that they lose sight of good things already established. Nevertheless, it's good to see the ministry focused on the world outside of the U.S. that does not have anything to do with Globalscope.

Alright, I see soapboxes popping up around me so I'll stop. I'll leave you with a picture. Bah, it's not working. Goodnight!
