will there ever be another seinfeld? (and pt. 2)...

i haven't seen an episode of seinfeld in a long long time...it has been awesome to just take a few days to relax with some really good friends, watch some tv with family and laugh, and get back into blogging....but seriously...will there ever be another show as good as seinfeld?...i dont watch the office much, but i hear it is close...some would even say better...but i dont know...kramer is freakin hilarious...the best...

ok...back to where i've been...so what i wrote earlier is some of the personal stuff i've lived over the past 8 months...there are professional changes too...as i mentioned in the last post, i never really got my feet under me with the whole "programming" role...i mean, we pulled off some really fun stuff...there was the "brittany and lindsay look alike" weekend when we were talking about authenticity...that had the potential to be brilliant...there was the awesome AIDS weekend with the African Children's Choir and the Wise's...and there was Opera Dom, Bluetooth Johnson, and What Does Your Life Shout...all cool weekend program elements, but again...i never felt like i was in my groove...

so an opportunity has come up where i have a chance to start a new position...its a new position for high school ministry at saddleback...its called the PEACE coordinator and my role is three fold...PEACE stands for Promote reconciliation, Equip leaders, Assist the poor, Care for the sick, and Educate the next generation...so my job is to cover personal, local, and global PEACE for HSM...this means that I will be responsible for leading efforts to create a culture of personal PEACE in HSM (friendship evangelism...its the "bring" part...get people into the church)...Im also responsible for local PEACE efforts...this encompasses some "bring" stuff too...but it is also local "go" efforts...homeless shelter, soup kitchens, inner city LA, all of the Mexico stuff we do...three trips this year...the idea is that (through small groups) our students will serve our community's poor, hurting, sick, etc., and our community will respond by connecting to Christ and Saddleback...and finally...I'm also responsible for global PEACE...serving the poor, the sick, and those suffering from injustice...Rwanda, Kenya, Argentina, and lots of other parts of the globe...to expand a lot!!...all the HSM HIV/AIDS stuff...reaching the globe for Christ...

so thats it...PEACE...something huge...something that my heart beats for...something that I want to be more of...God is really good to me...so when i return to So Cal next week its a whole new experience...again...haha...oh well, someone once said familiarity breeds contempt...so why keep things familiar?...change it up, right?...

till next time...
