The Gamer Comes Forth

Yes my friends I admit that I am a gamer...
By definition, a gamer is someone who sits in front of a TV or computer screen and plays games for hours on end. My brother helped to feed my weakness by letting me borrow his Game Cube for the summer (and maybe longer). I am super excited because the Nintendo Game Cube has the ability to play old and new Game Boy games (which I am the proud owner of an original and GBA). Joe also brought me his old Game Boy games. I have enough gaming options to last me for months! I forget how addicted I get to these things until two hours have passed and I'm still playing the same round of Tetris Worlds! I do have to admit that playing these games definitely dries my contacts out but that's what glasses are kept around for, right?!

So "anywho" it was good to get back to church today. We had a few moments of silent prayer in Sunday School this morning. It was great to approach God with such reverence in that room. I know God has me in this class for a reason and I believe He's starting to show me glimpses of the bigger picture through these ladies. I'm excited to see where we go with these ideas floating around in my head. The Men's Quartet sang a stirring version of "Victory In Jesus" that made me want to get up to dance (but I can't do that because I'm Baptist). Our Revelations Bible study met today and determined that we're going to have to meet another week. I've loved exploring this rich book with these teens and hearing their insights. I've even been able to answer some of the questions, even though I'm just learning much of this stuff myself. Tonight in youth we had small groups, literally. We split up between girls and guys and talked about Job and his three friends. It's a really interesting read and makes you think about how it is you're supposed to "comfort" your friends who are suffering. We had some good discussions, even though we were small in number.

I don't really know what this week holds for me. I've got plenty to do around the house (both inside and outside), but I've also got to fight the temptation to give into my gaming addictions. I might need some help with that one! I'm hoping to experiment with a few new recipes this week because I'll actually be home to eat them this week. I tried a new peanut butter pie this weekend. It tasted good but not nearly as good as Melissa's. OK, I'm out for the night because my contacts are dried out and my eyes are tired. Have a great one wherever you maybe be reading this!
