random events of the day

I'm actually currently watching a guy on the Tonight Show sing and play guitar while walking around in a great big bubble. He is singing about Spongebob. Quite odd I must say.I had a better day than I expected. My heart is just broken over what is going on with our youth group. It's hard to explain concisely, but decisions need to be made. On my part and on the kids....I just don't know. So please continue to pray for that. It's a struggle. After last night I actually just wanted to cry out of frustration and the feeling of loss. I didn't want to get out of bed this morning because I felt sick...The church staff and wife and kids of church staff had lunch with Lady Chee (Chaz's wife Carolyn- MISS HER!), baby Mitchel and her sister Emily and her kids at Olive Garden. Good times. Then tonight I took Emily on one of the most important adventures that she would ever take. We ventured to a far away land and splurged on our resources. We even had a tiny bit of a witness opportunity. Okay, so we went to buy her a cell phone! (Leave a message on http://emilyrachael.blogspot.com to welcome her to the 21st century!) I actually had to spot her to help her pay for it (she has no credit history- 'nuff said). But we still went to celebrate at Macaroni Grill- mmmm, good. I shared with her a book I picked up the other day by Ryan Dobson, called, "Be Intolerant" (not exact wording) "because some things are just stupid." It's about taking a stance to follow the black and white rules in the Bible, rather than the moral relativism (just plain stupid) of this world. It's not about what's right for me, or right for you. It's about following Christ and obtaining morality through the grace and mercy of the Lord. Our server saw it on the table and was drawn to it because of the title, "Be Intolerant" since she is a social worker and "be tolerant" has been instilled in her. So it was a conversation starter!Anyway, off to bed....even though I don't have to wake up tomorrow till I feel like it!!!!!!!
