Ah, yes, today in my office it’s Minutia Monday!

minutia - small, trivial,  trifling details

In ministry, often times, we get so involved in student ministry that we forget to do the fun administrative work (i.e. crap). And from time to time, this minutia piles up. Since things have been particularly busy lately, I’ve declared a fast on all things relational or enjoyable to pave way to clear out all pending minutia. So we shall cleanse our palates and our desks. We shall rejoice today in the mundane, because tomorrow is another day (with no minutia).

So, how’s your Monday looking?

Well it’s not me that really loves rainbows, it’s my wife, Miriam. But I love rainbows because Miriam loves rainbows so much.

We had one appear yesterday over the house. It had been rainy all weekend until Sunday afternoon when the sun broke out brilliantly. It reminders me that God keeps his promises. So whatever is plaguing you on this Monday, remember that God is faithful and good.

Some Mondays, that thought is all that I have to get me through (that and the fact that Friday is only a few days away!) .

Enjoy your Monday!

Bloggers have a bad reputation about using their blog to complain about thing wether it be the world, the church or whatever. I’m no exception. So I’m going to start a new Monday tradition of talking about things I love. I figure, it’s a Monday, so we might as well set our mind on good things.

Today’s Monday love? Chacos. Yes I absolutely love my Chacos. What’s a Chaco, you may say?

Well, they’re sandals, but so much more. They’re rugged sandals made adventures on the headwaters or on the trail. Hiking boots? Forget it. I recently went backpacking with them and liked them better than boots.

I hate to wear shoes, period. I’d go bare foot and become hobbit if I could, but my feet aren’t suited for it. These babies take me everywhere.

So for this Monday love, I love Chacos.

Ever have those days when your brain turns to mush from sitting in front of a computer in an office? Argh. Today is one of those days. I start to feel crazy - like this guy.

We are meant for more than this.

I want more than this.
