The equipment for a kids program (iKids) was made available to our youth group tonight. 5 large screen TV’s with video games. The director of the program completed our evening with thoughts on using our talents to do what God wants us to do.
Not a bad evening with something to think about for both the kids and the adults!!
I’ve held off for the last while.
Watching those who receive a text message and then reply as they keep up a conversation with you.
Funny thing. That’s exactly what I did today.
I could justify it by saying that I’m new to this thing. Or that I really needed to get back to the person. Or that . . .
Having said all this, I lost my head. Off I went. And with my text messaging, I sat across from another diner. While he finished his chicken fettucine Alfredo, I tried to put together a text message (it took that long). After I was finished the text message, I was left to eat by myself, with the bodies across the table staring at me.
So, lesson #1.
Text message to your heart’s content, but not in front of someone.
In this part of the world, December and January provide the opportunity to go work in the dark, and to return from work in the dark. Not to keep anyone in the dark, but this is not the experience my son had when he was travelling the Caribbean on a cruise ship. There you could be up with the sun and down with the sun, and put in a very full day.
So, we are excited when the light lingers after 6:00 pm in the evening. And right now the sun is arising shortly before 9:00 am. All a good sign!
I’m quite glad to be one of those who will enter the twilight zone a little later each day!
From the climes of South America, Buenos Aires, our son, Tim, has just flown in.
He began his travels yesterday night, flew non-stop to Toronto. Then onward to Saskatoon. We picked him up this morning around 11:15 and now the evening is completing. He’s getting his wi-fi up and running on his computer. We are preparing for bed and life goes on!! This is great to have him home — we’ll see what adventures await us in the following weeks.
