LOOK I'm blogging, see? lots of blogging...
Oi check it out! I'm actually blogging...
This is of course in direct response to Fiona sending us lots of emails saying BLOG guys BLOG, c'mon, you know you want to, everyone else is doing it... :)
So what have we been doing lately? This is going to be a really boring blog, cos I fully only woke up again like, 15 mins ago. Grace wakes me up to go grocery shopping at like, 9am this morning, depriving me of my sleep-in, so I'm trying to catch up on sleep by napping sporadically in between bouts of reading and eating. It's OK I'm allowed, it's my day off, and all the reading I've done so far has been bible stuff, so yeah.
ANYWAY! Yesterday was Sunday, and it was the week we go to the Korean corps (which we do every second week) and this week Sandra and Kim went with us, and Rob (who was preaching) I scored the lucky job of having to organise the prayer time (have I mentioned how much I suck at public speaking) which I think was a complete fiasco. Really I think it can only have been about three quarters as atrocious as I remember it being, because along with memories of my brain being disconnected from my mouth, I'm fairly certain I saw some people praying at some stage, so yeah...
Anyway, we had some awesome Korean food afterwards, and got back to the office only ten minutes later than we had wanted. Oh, and I blasted half the people in the car for not wearing seatbelts on the trip home. Not that they paid any attention...crazy Canadian drivers...
We helped pack the van for church, then went to Soldiers class where we discussed the ideas behind why we did certain things in our lives, like, how do we spend our money, why we dress the way we do, or eat the way we do, who do we spend time with and what do we do in our spare time? Are we doing these things in a specific way just because we are reacting to things? - My culture says I need to dress this kind of way to look good; or if I'm seen with those kind of people it will wreck my reputation etc. Or are we doing things intentionally to influence the people around us in a good way? - Speaking to people we normally wouldn't cos you can see they're alone and uncomfortable, and pretending they don't care; and maybe not pigging out on junk food and snacking whenever you want all day a) because it's not healthy, and b) because you could be modelling like good eating habits, or how to spend your grocery money etc., especially to kids (who are growing up on fast food...)
Yeah. Then we had our church and invited random people from there to come to our second B&B night (which was Brad Pitt and Brownies) and we watched Oceans Eleven and ate brownies. I reckon we need to find another time to do random social stuff. Because half the people was ask are like, "I'm busy" or "I have a Prayer Ministry meeting" or "I have a date"... SURE guys *snif* we know when we're not wanted :(
Or maybe it was the Boy Band music last time that turned people off...
Yes, I know I suck at blogging. I'll do better next time.
