Here we go.

Sorry for not posting in a (long) while. Things have been good here. It's been busy, but that's ok. Just a few quick points as I try to get re-aclimated to online culture (and if you're reading this, chances are, I'm not ranting about you in point one).

• Over the last few years, I've received much praise (mostly justified) for my efforts in "keeping-in-touch" with CWR staff and other friends. This year has been different. I really just don't seem to care if I talk to anyone or not. I know that this isn't healthy, but it's the way I feel. I'm tired of always being the one to make the call. Ever since I was like, 14, I've been the one to start any type of conversations or "hang-out" times. I've been the one to call and say, "Hey." I've been the one to ask if people want to hang out. I've been the one to initiate almost all conversation that has transpired between myself and virtually any other human being (notable exceptions being: Dan Hawkins, Lisa Adams, J, and for a short period of that time, Matt Youngblood, Steve Yoder, and I'm sure one or two other people at some time for a month or two). I mean, I could be wrong, but I see people talking to each other, and it seems that one of them must have started the conversation. It's just something that has always bothered me, and I'm tired of putting so much of myself out there and not getting much return. I guess I'm just tired. So, if you're reading this and I haven't called you in a while, don't take offense, take your phone, and call someone, anyone, even me if you want to.
  
• I taught a combined Sunday school this morning, with 7-12 grades all together. It went well, though a few people that normally show up weren't there. I'll keep you all updated on the class and what we do. Unity is going to be our focus for a while.
  
• In other news, a county in my area had a picnic for their health department. For the next few days the health department was missing a few of their employees, as mass food poisoning took it's toll. Originally thought to be from bad potato salad, it turns out that the E-coli (just the regular type, not the spinach kind) came in the form of under-cooked hamburgers. There was no loss of life, and everyone has recovered as well as expected so far. I just thought it odd...
