The Good, the Bad and the Ugly

Good news: I finally fell asleep.

The bad? It was 5:30 am.

The ugly? My alarm went off at 8:30.


So I'm running on very little right now as far as energy levels go. But I'm actually doing alright. I might try to grab a nap before home group tonight (small group...cell group...bible study, whatever you want to call it) over at Bethany's.

I've discovered orange mango juice (with apple base). It's quite amazing. Probably my favourite juice out there. I plan to drink a lot of it. ha.

I just went to the petrol station to fill up my car for the first time since having it (I've gotta say, I've done well! Only one tank of gas for over a month!). I have to use a key to unlock the little door over the gas cap. And when I pressed "fill" and it only took about 45 seconds to click off, I thought I had the pump misplaced - so I adjusted the nozzle a little inside the tank, and kept pushing the button.

GAS CAME SPILLING OUT EVERYWHERE!!!

Apparently the petrol pumps here have the pressure of a fire hose! I was on empty and it took less than a minute to get to full! It was amazing! And yet, scary.

But probably not as scary as Karl's face when I tell him that an extra 3 or 4 dollars worth of fuel has baptised the ground beneath my car. hehe...

This is a bit of a lighter week, as Friday is only a games night so I don't necessarily have to write any messages. But perhaps I should get a head start if I want to lighten my load a little.

I've been trying to think of a practical "Ministry Gift" that I have to donate to the youth program...and a few things have come to mind but I'm just not sure what the perfect thing to do with that money is.

Oh for most of you who don't know, part of my ministry here (that is planned in the onSite program) is to donate a gift to the ministry or program you're working with...and my issue comes with knowing what to do. I know I have a lot of time here to sort it out but I'd like to get started on it as soon as possible.

I'm thinking that even though that back shed won't work for an office, it could suit quite well for a youth building. It's not very big, but certainly big enough for a couch, a couple chairs, a tv, a gaming system, a bookshelf and a coffee/tea station...it requires a lot of work to get the inside suitable. Proper walls, a decent carpet before anything else...a coat of paint...

It'll be like my own Extreme Home Makeover! hehe...

So that's one idea. Any ideas for a youth program in a small town? Comment below.

Speaking of comments, so far it's pretty sad knowing that there are only 6 people who have commented in the entry that I asked for people to comment in. Really only 5 since Darrell has decided to make it clear that he never reads my blog. Ha.

Confused? Check a few entries below to the entitled "Stolen Idea from Ryan".

Ok well I've not got a whole lot to say. I'm tired. And hungry. Ha.

That's my story! The end!
