Why am I doing this?

I have found that I am in need of a project. I also have several goals that seem to be nagging me lately. 1. I need to get in shape. Although round is a shape, it's not so much what I am looking for. 2. I need to read the Bible more. It has yet to become a vital foundation to my faith on a consistent basis. 3. I would like to write more. It's something I greatly enjoy, but simply do not make time for it.

So I have decided to take the next 90 days to simultaneously complete the P90X fitness challenge, Read the Bible in 90 Days, and Blog about my entire experience. Viola! This condenses all three goals into a single project.

Day 61

Workout- Legs and Back
Bible Reading- Lamentations 2 - Ezekiel 12:20

I have been without internet for the last day or so due to the ineptitude of Comcast. I affectionately refer to them as Comcrap. I won't rehash my annoyance here as I will thankfully be rid of them as of Thursday. I am praying that AT&T will not let me down. I have very high hopes for them.

This week my schedule is completely out of whack! My church is doing something called "Garage-A-Palooza". For those who don't know, my church meets in an old auto service garage. Hence, the "garage" portion of the title. I don't know what the technical definition of a "palooza" is, but it's a darn good time as far as I am concerned. Anyway, "Garage-A-Palooza" is a one week activity camp for 1st - 5th graders to come to our church to participate in different activity groups and also learn about God. They get to do different activities such as horses, juggling, basketball, drama, sewing.... and on and on. It's a really fun week and a great chance for kids to learn new activities and find out more about themselves and God. This year I am taking a less involved role and simply running sound. It's been fun sitting in the back and watching all of the kids sing along with the songs. There is a stark difference between the adults who stand still in church and barely show emotion and the kids who aren't afraid to jump around and look silly all in the name of singing to God! At what age do we lose that freedom? These same adults who stand still on Sunday morning will lose all inhibition when around these kids and look just as silly as they do! There is just something that is contagious about the joy of children having fun and worshiping God. I wish adult services were more like this!

    I don't know...I've seen footage of some adult services where they get pretty rowdy...but those usually involve snakes. ;)
