So It Begins

The first Fish Co of 2006 was wednesday, and we had over 80 jr highers show up. That was so cool! We had mucho tacos for dinner, and then all sang a bunch of songs, about Papayas and the Lord (it works, trust me). The Kathleen gave a talk on servanthood, which jives with me, since I am actually a professional Server! We ended things off with Underground Church, although I think we need to reiterate the whole "don't fight back once you're tagged" thing. I caught a foot in the face. But no broken toes this time, and the light was found once, but not twice, so we still have a few secret places it seems! Next weekend is our Winter Retreat and there's already over 30 kids signed up! too bad the jr staff all had prior commitments...it'll be crazy times!

A cool thing happend the next morning. Wednesday night I brought up the electric piano that no one had used for over 2 years. And I found out why. No power cord. I found the seat in an obscure place, but no cords. So in the morning I stopped by Doris' office to see if she might know a secret hiding place for power cords. She didn't, but she rifled through her file cabinets anyways, even though her office had moved in the last year or so. Not finding it, she turned back toward her desk and stopped. Sitting on the center shelf of her book shelf, on a plate with a coffee cup was the power cord. No one had seen it in over 2 years. and it was just sitting there. In the open. We were way excited about that! sometimes there are definite tangible perks to working for the Lord, our God!!! Now, let the good times roll!
