June 12

Well, that was a busy day. Woke up and played basketball. Got home, had breakfast, and started in on tearing out our old shower door and replacing it with a new one. I've never done that before and it was decently fun. Took me most of the day.

In the afternoon I took the boys to their soccer camp. Read my book for a while and then ran 6 miles around the soccer field. Took a little less than 12 laps around the property. Got word that River's EEG came back normal, so supposedly his chance of another seizure goes to around 30%. So that was good news.

I discovered through watching the boys they need a lot more Jesus in their lives. I'm not super diligent about sharing the characteristics of Jesus with them because I feel like my childhood was mostly religious in nature so I've been trying to avoid that but my kids are selfish, and can be mean and off-putting and its horrifying to me.

So I'm going to try to have more talk and dialogue of the nature of Jesus and hopefully the "why" of it all.

Hanging out with Rainn

Took Rainn over to the soccer fields and just hung out with him for a while. He needs one on one time more than I think he lets on. He sort of gets squished in the middle of everything so it's nice to just see him. He really loves soccer and he's getting really good. In the future I really want to carve out time for him. He's a pretty great guy.

Reading and Coffee

Got to bike over to Glas and take some time to read. Started in on this book called "Love Does" by Bob Goff. I think he's good friends with Donald Miller or at least good author friends. I got far enough into the book I think I know where he's going. Looks promising. 

Coffee with Carlie

Carlie just graduated last year from Shawano High and was in the music program. Jazz band, and choir. Also she was on the worship leader team in her youth group in town. So next year she'll be an R.A. at her college, will be on the worship team at her church, and entering the music Ed program.  So she's interested in worship leading as a job alongside of her teaching career. I also have a couple other teens interested in leading worship more and more. I have some decent experience from which to teach but I'm not yet sure how to articulate or teach some of the concepts. There's a lot of intangibles to leading worship. Sensing the room, the Spirit, how the team is responding to the set; these are things that I can say, but how do I point it out? I guess I need to figure it out because I think these kids are here now, and I want to be there for them in a way that they are better equipped as they move forward in their walk and worship. I feel like if I'm to stay in...
