mt. vernon...blog-worthy?...

i haven't posted very much since i got back from california...i guess for a couple of reasons...i've been very very busy...i think i've talked about this before on here...but i kinda need to whine a little...haha...i have been getting ready for ciy...we leave on sunday...i'm expecting a really good time there...the 5 years that i have been in youth ministry have taught me many things...but one of those is that there are certain groupings of people...certain combinations of people...that lead to great conversations, good fun, and lots of growth...i think that is something we're gonna experience this year at ciy...the group of kids i am taking are from lots of different social groups, towns, and schools...but they all seem to be pretty pumped about going...and i think there is going to be a lot of relational things happening in this group...

wow...i really dont think i know what i am talking about here...hahaha...i'm just excited and its a great group of kids...nough said...the other reason i havent written much is this...life seems so much more exciting when i'm traveling...between california, colorado, tennessee, and new hampshire...mt. vernon has a hard time seeming "blog-worthy"...haha...dont get me wrong...it feels like home and that feels good...in fact, i had my family over for dinner tonight to celebrate an early father's day...it was awesome...wouldn't trade it for the world...good food, good coffee, and good laughs...but i dont know...just not a whole lot exciting going on here...just the normal, everyday stuff...

i'm gonna try to blog more often...even as i type this i am realizing this...maybe a sign of maturity...of spiritual maturity even...is finding the exciting and "blog-worthiness" in the everyday, mundane life of mt. vernon, illinois...
