Sorry it has been so long since I last updated my blog.  The past month has been a blur.  I don’t think I have been in any one town more than a week.  I was in Birmingham, AL taking part in a very difficult meeting during the first week of December.  I got through my finals and papers during the second week and started a new job in Janesville, WI at the same time.  I’ve been settling in at Cargill United Methodist Church but I was at home for a week from Christmas until New Year’s Eve. I just got done with a Ski Trip with my new youth group and now I’m getting ready to go back to school for January Intensives….    whew.

It has been a crazy holiday season.  I am really enjoying my job though, and even though it made for a difficult end-of-semester, I’m really glad that I took the job.  The youth are really fantastic and I’ve really begun to get-to-know them much more quickly than I expected to, being on staff half-time.
