catching up
Sorry Joel that I haven’t been more frequent in posting – I know it has been over a month since the last post. Note the new picture of me on the right. This is sitting up at the President’s house overlooking campus and the ocean. Here is the brief update:
1. I am no longer living out of an overnight bag.
2. The month of training is over. A few days after my last post, my student leaders arrived for their training. A week later the rest of my students (Spiritual Life Advisors – SLAs) and the RAs arrived for their training. (Their training was 2 solid weeks plus a week of move-in/new student orientation activities.)
3. Our softball team clinched the Malibu Summer Softball League Title/Championship/We get shirts this past Sunday. This is the point where someone like Chuck says, “shhhhh we don’t talk about it. We want to be undefeated!” (We have one more game a week from Sunday. Nope, I am about the shirt. Go us.)
4. I moved offices (in the middle of week number 1 of point number 2).
5. It is day two of school. I am an instructor for one course and taking another. My MA left me 8-9 classes short of an MDiv. Pepperdine will pay for me to complete it, so here I go.
6. I am on a founding committee for a film festival in Malibu (goes hand in hand with the film class which I am co-instructing).
7. I have a dishwasher and it currently requires packing tape. What a fantastic invention – the stand alone dishwasher.
8. There are new pictures up on my flickr site – ones of my new group of students and from when I was wee.
9. Went to an Emergent gathering in Ventura, met good people, had good conversations, many thoughts….
I am sure there is more, but I will save it for later.
