Manic Monday Minute is a serious mind-dump that will probably take you one minute to read. Here are some thoughts going through my head right now...
This is the Manic Monday Minute What a weekend. I announced my resignation on Sunday at Cornerstone. The last 6 months leading up to my departure have been wild... but God has made it evident that I'm on the right track and I'm excited about my new job. I spent today making and receiving lots of phone calls. I've also been reading email after email and enjoy the facebook messages too. Its so nice to know people are wishing me well and that I have such a great support team in my friends and family. This year will be an adventure, for sure, and I'm excited. Nervous too. I'm excited to work under the leadership of my good friend, Chuck, who actually just started twittering. ;=) My current church family has already been so supportive and seemed very excited for me, while sad to hear of my departure. I made a speech yesterday from the platform and said "leaving is never easy but when you know God is leading you it makes all the difference." So true. Had some wings tonight with my good friend, Dave. Glad this week has come. The blog world had slowed to barely a crawl during the holidays. It's been a virtual bore. My new position requires a move. I'm NOT looking forward to that. I have to start looking for housing this week. Say a prayer for guidance to just the right house.
I'm expecting a post-Christmas miracle. ;=) Been enjoying lots of football games this week. All the bowl games and a few pro too. Still mourning the loss of my Tigers. My first Sunday at the new church will be Superbowl Sunday. Thats memorable. Heard Springsteen is performing at the half-time show this year. Brainstorming a huge idea I have for the world of youth ministry. The Fast and the Furious is playing in the background as I type this. Going to a post-Christmas party tomorrow night where we exchange reject Christmas gifts! I love it. I started the little exchange a couple of years ago. Its a lot of fun. Thanks for reading. Ok, Peace.

what a fun idea! (the exchange party). Excited to hear about your new position! I'm sure it'll be great! =)
The exchange party is what we call here at work a "White Elephant Exchange." They do it every year for the IT Christmas Party (which this year is a post-Christmas/post-New Year's party because it snowed something fierce the day it was originally scheduled). My boss and another co-worker are putting together huge paper boxes FULL of past bad gifts to give...it should be pretty funny!
Congrats on the new job Terrace. Sounds like an amazing church. Got to admit I like the post-Christmas/gift reject party.
