Well, once again it has been a week since I posted anything. I don’t know if I just really haven’t taken the time, whether I have been too busy, or I just have not been in the mood to. There really has not been that much going on with my life in the last week. I had a Multi-County Fire Corps meeting in Hinton on Thursday evening and had a Valentine Banquet at the church on Friday evening. The entertainment was pretty much geared towards the folks in their 60’s and 70’s. I have to admit that it was a decent program, but I wish there had been some other type of entertainment for the younger couples. One thing we have very little of in our church is young couples. It seems like everything we do is geared towards the older folks. If we expect to make any progress, we need younger couples.
Last Saturday, I assisted with the R.A. Pinewood Derby Races in our church gym. I was the announcer , so I had the task of calling the names of the people that were racing their cars. It was kind of fun and the kids had a great time racing their cars. Even a few of the adults raced their cars. That lasted until around noon. I went home, took a short nap and then headed back to the church at 2 pm to get ready to take the students to the Winter Jam 2012 concert. We left the church at 3 pm and waited in a crowded line for almost 2 hours. Last year, when we went to this concert, we got stuck behind the stage. This year was not much better. We were in front of the stage, but we were all the way to the top of the arena. We pretty much had to watch the concert by watching the huge screen that hung from the ceiling.
I was so tired Saturday, I did not get a chance to do a power point for the church, so when I got to church Sunday morning, I had no announcements to show. I didn’t really care because I was too tired to care. The only reason I have been doing it is because most of our members do not look at their bulletins, so this is an easy way to let them know what is going on in the church for the rest of the week.
During the afternoon, I had a REACT training session and then a REACT Executive Board meeting. Both of those events took my whole afternoon. I was so mentally drained, I went home and stayed there the rest of the evening. That same evening, the deacons were meeting to decide whether our REACT team would be able to use the extra office space for an Emergency Operations Center. I gave a verbal and written proposal to the deacon body three weeks ago and had several deacons that assured me they were voting in favor of it.
Well, around 8:45 pm, I received a call from the Chairman of Deacons, informing me he and the pastor wanted to meet with me to give their reasoning. In other words, it got voted down and they want to give me the reason why. So, we were scheduled to meet tonight at 6 pm.
