Goodbye Oh-So-Full Weekend

A busy weekend has come to an end. As most of you know, our church had its annual Transit Rally on Saturday. This year was a bit different from the previous years as we did it in an 'Amazing Race' style. So, there were a number of stations set up, and the teams had to proceed linearly through each station. Ren and I were given Stadium/Chinatown station to do. Friday was spent on making up questions...and my were there a lot of em. But I rather like the story we came up with (of utter embarrassment to me). And we did get some rather creative endings to the tale from the groups. This was all followed by a nice BBQ at the park, with free food might I add. And after this, Vince and I finally saw a movie we've been meaning to see for a while: Downfall. As the title hints, the movie is about the downfall of Hitler. It was well done, and I quite enjoyed it. Political genius - yes; military stategist: definitely not!

Sunday brought with it communion Sunday, always the best of our services. Why we don't do communion every week, I don't know. After that, I had the joy of giving an introduction to the book of Judges. I think we're gonna have a great time discussing Judges. As common to many narratives in the Hebrew Bible, it is full of unsettling things: things which make us squirm with uneasiness. Good fun...that is, if they don't shut me down for teaching like this. Heh.

I closed off my Sunday by heading to the mall to indulge a bit. My chequing account has had an unnaturally high balance as of late, and I felt like feeding even more money to the great multinational corporations of this world. The up side is, I have some new clothes. My poor wardrobe has been asking for an upgrade for some time now. This should shut it up for a while.

Anyways, everyone have a great week.

As the old liturgy says: the Lord be with you all.
