1/11/15
Today was a different sort of Sunday. Today there was only service and Sunday school. We didn't have Ignite tonight or anything else going on. It would be nice to have some good quality time with Amy after we got back. I taught Sunday school for the senior high youth for the first time in the New Year. I would have them for a couple weeks until I had my first adult education class coming up in February. We talked about having questions and that sometimes there are no definite answers for those questions and we need to move on in faith. After we got back to my apartment Amy and I headed over to Barnes and Noble and ate there while looking at books. It's become a sort of tradition. Then we headed back and cleaned up after gaming and sat down and watched Netflix until she left. It was a pretty great day.
Today I learned that you have to be careful when you ask for questions. We built a list of the top ten questions in Sunday school but then had some more time spent on it than I had intended. It actually worked great, thanks God, but it is just good to know for future use.

PYROS and Tubing!
1/10/15
Today I had too big things happen. The first was the PYROS packing event. We gathering together to make homeless care packages. I was worried about how many people would show up and if we would have enough supplies to make a good amount of bags. This is when God showed me that He is in charge. We had a great number of people. It was probably one of our largest attended events. With all the supplies I had and all the supplies that people brought we were able to make 36 bags, which we will hand out tomorrow in between services.
The other big thing I had going on today was the tubing event with the other churches. We meet at Grace Lutheran and headed out to the tubing area. We had it reserved for the night. This is my first time ever tubing, I know surprise! It was an absolute blast! I had so much fun tubing and just hanging out with the youth that came from Redeemer. It would be a late night tonight because after tubing we also had gaming with my friends. I got a little sleep but I could sleep Sunday night.
Today I learned that Amy really loves me a lot. That sounds weird because we are engaged and what not, But she went with me on all my trips to the store for PYROS. She even came to the event itself and helped out, which is outside her comfort zone. I could not ask for a better future wife!

Christmas Party
1/9/15
Today the big event was the staff Christmas party at Saints on Second. I've never been there before and it is quite a nice place. I had the walleye sandwich which was pretty good, but I've had better fish other places. Everyone was able to show up except for Jan and her husband who are enjoying warmer climates around this time. Even Amy was able to show up for dinner and meet the spouses of the staff he hadn't yet.
Today I learned that Randy was my secret angel. I was totally surprised, which I guess is the point. He was very good and I had no idea at all. Also he got me a great gift, a gift card to Fleet Farm. It is super helpful for getting stuff for my apartment.
