Well, when looking at a calender, I get stressed. Camp is right around the corner here at Victory. So, I stopped looking at the calender. I take it one day at a time and work down the check list in my head. Curriculum rough draft is done finally. Chapels are coming together. Computers are ready to get cleaned up. Songs are being worked on. A lot is going on.
But right now, I must focus on the Outdoor Ed groups that are in. The work listed above in on hold for the most part, but needs to get done. Pray for me as I try to get my stack of work done, plus move my residence a few times, all before staff get here. My stress hasn't been as high as it has in the past. But there are a lot of sleepless nights with work on my mind.
I plan on having the update letter out as soon as I figure out the printer issues that keep happening. For news sake, I will be sending it out as a special pre-summer letter. Basically letter 007 and 008 together.

Running Around With Arms Flailing In The Air

Well, summer is almost here. The new HM Update will be out shortly. And working on the next one already. The only way I can explain it all is by the way I titled this update. In all honesty, it isn't that bad. It just seems bad at first, then we hash everything out, and things start to get pieced together. Here's a little of what has been happening to me.

Curriculum: Of course you have heard this a lot from me. But in reality, think about school. A lot of planning goes behind a lesson plan. What to teach. How to teach it. The information to back it up. Application. So on and so forth. So for a curriculum of what we are teaching, especially the Bible, things need to be right and within context. Plus this isn't the only thing we are working on.

Chapels: For me, I have to start thinking about not just the planning of chapel, but also the teaching aspect of the Frontier chapel. The format of it all. How do we keep it fresh for 7 weeks. There is a lot to it.

AV Team/ Ministry Team: What kind of videos are we going to make. What kind of skits are we going to do. How are we going to make them. When do we have time to create new things. Ect. Ect. Etc. There is a lot of technical stuff I don't want to swamp you with.

There is a lot. That is just the tip of the iceberg. But that is why I am here. I love do this planning and hashing out of things behind the scenes. Sometimes my mind functions, and sometimes I am overwhelmed with ideas. Anyways. Just be praying for me as the rush of summer is catching up with us. It seems like there is not enough hours in a day to complete what we need. But then there is always the after summer hindsight that we say, "wow, we accomplished a lot, and it was fun... what do we do next year?"
