randomness of the mind.

Not sure what to write, but it's been awhile since I've written here, so we'll see what happens. Um, well, nothing much has changed since March 3, except that it's almost been three weeks since then. Time absolutely flies when you're doing nothing, seriously. These past two months have been a blur. If you were to ask me when the last time it was that I sat in this chair and relaxed, I could honestly tell you that it could have been any one of the days between January 30th and now. Probably almost all of them, except for the one full day I was in Whistler and the one full day I was in Richmond. I've been told I relax well. Good thing? Bad thing? I don't know, it's probably just such a constant thing right now that somebody had to comment about it. It'll be tough to get out of this prolonged state of laziness, but I know that once I get working again I'll be constantly busy. I hear youth work is a 24/7 job, despite any indications that it's a part time position. Oh yeah, and the serious lack of money ... scratch that ... it's not just that I lack money, it's that the money I have been using comes with a 19% interest rate ... so that will inspire me to get off my arse again too.

Probably the most exciting news here is that I will be entering a Third World country for the first time in my life ... that being Mexico. I'll be jumping into a van with a ton of students and some leaders for the three day drive down in order to spend a week or so in a 'tent city' with the intent of reaching out to the Mexican community. I'm looking forward to it for two reasons: I know that an experience like this will change lives, and 1) I'm eager to see 20 or so young lives changed. 2) I know I will be changed by the experience. I don't know what to expect, but I do know that something will be different when we return. A vague statement, I know...hopefully to be clarified soon after our return.

More to come soon...
