I tell ya, Blogger is so cool. I can now blog from the phone or by email!! (I just watched the Sienfeld episode where Elaine puts exclamation points all over the place because of her ex-boyfriend. Sorry) Anyways, it seems as though the guys & gals at Blogger are really thinking. Every time I turn around there is something new. I think that the blogging community is growing by leaps and bounds now a days. I have got a lot of my friends on here and it is so fun to share thought and ideas. To read about someone's day or to hear a good story.
Here are a couple of random thoughts I had today:
Today we had a farewell party for Mike Fackler who is following God's leading and moving down to Oklahoma. I don't know why but you can't really tell God "No" unless you want a guilty spirit. Anyways, I was thinking of all the good times that we have had with this guy and it makes me sad to see him go. He and I haven't always seen things eye to eye but we love each other non the less. One good story was when we were on the way back to Holland, on the church's shuttle, with a bunch of the staff, when the shuttle suddenly stops in the middle of nowhere and Mike gets off. We were all wondering what the heck happened. It wasn't until the day after that we found out why he got off. Mike was dropped off in the middle of farm land. The only thing that was around was an old farm house and some silos. Mike had to go number 2 so bad that he made the shuttle stop and he got off to go. Now, a normal person would of gone over to the house to use the restroom. Not Mike. He goes over and parks himself next to a silo. What a man! Too funny though.
Another random thought was that I really don't like and more and more I hate those Christian bumper stickers. I know I have talked about this before but they really bothers me. I will never have a fish or a bumper sticker that says "Honk if you love Jesus." You might as well have one that says "I am a Christian and you are not."
A couple of blogs ago I think I talked about feeling as though I didn't know which high school community God wanted me at. I think I know now. As much as I don't want to I think He is calling me to Holland Christian. If you have ever gone to a typical "Christian" high school than you will know what this school is like. Most of the students have a biblical knowledge but it stops there. That is most of our holland community matter of fact. It is tough for me to live here. People do the Sunday thing and that is it. Don't change it they will get mad! Anyways, Holland Christian has a lot of kids that know about Jesus but there is no fruit. I am excited and scared all at the same time. I will definitely be out of my comfort zone but am excited to see what God has in store for me.
I just watched Rat Race. What a hilarious movie. I cried so hard from laughing. I haven't laughed that hard at any other movie. I hate to say it but even better than Austin Powers. Yeah baby, yeah!
Tired,

Hosher,
I'm glad you're taking on the Holland Christian gig. I believe God's going to use you in ways you would never even dream about...but God's going to grow you too! Keep your ears, eyes and heart open...don't miss it. These kids may also have something to teach you. Keep blogging about what your learning.
Thanks for your random thoughts. I actually found you thanks to the random blogger bar :)
Hey Hosh!
when brian told me today that you were thinking about taking on holland christian i was thrilled! and after reading this post.. i'm even more excited.. b/c i think to some extent you realize what it's like to be a student at holland christian.. you came from california to our little city of holland.. which you are right.. is a little like our school.. only at school it's worse. i think that rocks.. b/c the more the leaders understand, the more i believe we can reach our school.. b/c they understand.. and know how to come alongside of us, and our school. b/c it is difficult, not wanting to offend someone who thinks they are, but don't act like a Godly person. there is a difference between being christian, and being Godly, and at holland christian that can sometimes be a stumbling block. and especially a wall to reaching our fellow students.. so thanks hosh! and i know you're gonna be awesome! i'm excited about this year.. TOTALLY PUMPED.. b/c it's new. it's scarey.. it's change.. and i'm in awe of what God's gonna do this year in our school, our hallways, and our classrooms! so i'm praying for you! that God would take away your worries, and fill you with peace :)
