Hello Blog heads! I decided I should maybe change the name of my blog from "Daily Dave" to "Possibly once a week or maybe even two weeks Dave". I'll try and make this blog worth while to make up some lost time.
First things first. I wanted to share my all-time favorite farside cartoon with all of you because I love it so much. I love how farside can have such clever wit when it comes to despair. I also love the dude's facial expression when he realizes potato chips make you incredibly thirsty and there isn't a fountain in sight!
It has been a busy week for me this week. I just accepted a position at FOSS swim school here in Minnesota. My official title is "swimming instructor". I have pretty mixed feelings about the whole thing. I do know that it is going to provide some good stories for the blog. I think it will be kind of fun, but there is a lot of stuff to learn and I'm definitely not looking at swimming instruction as a career. After the church plant in New York fell through it made me feel totally lost and I'm trying to regain some sort of vision of what God wants me to do here in Minnesota. For right now I'm just going to teach swimming and try to be a friend to people around here. Who knows what's next......
One thing that I do know is next.... I am planning on moving into a apartment in the next couple of weeks. It's funny because two of my roommates graduated from college and were part of church plants and now have moved back to Minnesota all within a year and half. Maybe funny was the wrong word for that last sentence, maybe a little sad. The good news is that even though both of them came from hard experiences in church planting they still want to affect the community around them and make a difference. So I'm pretty pumped to room with them because we all have big plans to get to know the people in our apartment building. I think one of the coolest ideas was to host an Oscar party and print off ballots so everyone can watch and guess along. I think we are all going to throw in a couple bucks or something and then the person that guesses the most winners gets all the dough. That should be a blast. We are also going to have an open house, so I will have to let all of you Minnesota folks know when the open house is. I'll also try and post some pictures of the place.
Well my girlfriend bought me a book of Sudoku which I am pumped about! So I think I'm off to go work on some of those and hit the sack early. I have got some serious training to go through for the swimming instructor job tomorrow. I do have to admit it is nice to say that I have a job now! Oh yes and I'll try and be a little more consistent with my posts.
