I’m around teens all the time and I have to tell you… I wish I had their schedules. Take the idea of Spring Break for instance. They get a random week off school to do whatever.

So say, just for a moment, that this practice where to permeate the adult world. April rolls around and you hit Adult Spring Break. Everyone exits work for a freebie week (or if you’re a homemaker, someone takes the kids).

So if such an occurrence happened… how would you spend it?

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?

Here’s the wikipedia definition of Labor Day:

Labor Day is a United States federal holiday that takes place on the first Monday in September. The holiday began in 1882, originating from a desire by the Central Labor Union to create a day off for the “working man”. It is still celebrated mainly as a day of rest and marks the symbolic end of summer for many.

So “working man,” how are you going to spend your Labor day?

We’re grillin’ and chillin’ with the family.

Tired of the week? Waiting for work to get over? Heck yeah it’s Friday! So here’s some fun to easy you over till quittin’ time!

How to NOT use Powerpoint

How many times have you seen a really bad Powerpoint presentation? This is so true!

Don’t you just love the subculture that happens only in your office?

Enjoy your weekend!

Today we are hosting our annual YD (Youth Dynamics) fund-raising banquet. It is our major fundraiser for the year that provides for scholarships, ministry support and program costs. It has been a tremendous journey leading up to this event. We’ve really felt God’s hand upon us as we’ve seen the community rally around. My heart is to see people come, enjoy the fellowship and learn more about our ministry. We are praying for financial and prayer partners.

I am asking for your prayers to cover this event and the people involved.

It’s been an amazing journey to put this together, and I’ll be excited to report tomorrow on how it went.

I know this event can have great significance towards reaching youth for the Lord and it will be opposed by the enemy - so lift us up in prayer today!
