Dinner with Chandler

Hey Peoples,
I hope that life is moving along for you'll. I had a fun dinner with recruiters from Chandler School of Theology. It wasn't anything really impressive. I mean, they didn't seek me out and ask to have dinner, it was just a annual thing they do to get info from perspective students. It was interesting. I honestly haven't thought of seminary in a couple of months. I have been so busy trying to get the fall youth calendar off the ground I haven't thought much about what I want to do in a couple of years. I am slowly moving toward the idea, that I don't think I can be a youth minister for the "rest" of my life. I am just growing too old and weary of lock-ins, talking about drama that is so unimportant, and planning events for kids who only want to play pranks. So, I don't know about seminary or really about next year. Things (work) is going really well right now and I feel like things are going well with the church (i.e. not everyone hates me anymore), but I still don't really feel like I am in the right "fit" for my career. I am looking into taking a vocational test to see where I might thrive...weird.
Besides that, I just took up another passion. Maple Story. It is a MMORPG online that is free. It is fun and I get to "get stuff." Which is my driving passion in life. That is part of the reason I have been lazy with posting any new blog post.
Um...ok. I will be honest. I want to go play some more Maple Story and watch some football, so I am out.

i'm not a veteran yet, but something Gordon Griffen once said to me (at the jesus focused youth ministry conference). Why not go to seminary? You're depriving the people you minister to of what you could be giving them.
hey- i'm in the beginning stages and i'll let you know what i find out. by the way, saw GG the other day on campus. he's doing well.
