Two students of mine are getting married this summer, and they’ve asked me to help them with some pre-marital counseling. I’ve never done anything like that before, especially in Spanish. There’s not a lot of stuff that I can find on this sort of thing in Spanish, either. So, I’m working on creating my own questionnaire and format for counseling them. They are two really good kids, and I’m sure they’ve already talked about a lot of things. So, it shouldn’t be too difficult, I hope.
Anyway, if you have any good ideas or material, I’m more than open to hearing suggestions.
There’s always next year. Despite their first round loss in the NCAA tournament (and the naysayers), I have faith that Coach K will bring them back next year. He always does. It’s his legacy.
Whether you lose in the first round or in the third round, it’s still a loss. They’ll be back. Coach K is a winner and a great leader. They may be out this year, but I would hate to be the first round opponent next year.
Here are some things that are creeping up on my calendar. It looks like it could get busy pretty soon here.
This week: First week of 4th quarter
March 21: Benito Juarez Day
March 31: Generaciones Lideres
April 1-8: Holy Week – No class (Plus Videoblogging Week)
April 6-14: CYM Group from Boyce College
April 25: Nathan’s 2nd birthday
May 9-13: Class in Monterrey
We spent most of yesterday picking up our friends from the airport. it took us about 45 minutes to get there. We waited for at least an hour because there were two people working in customs. Then, it took us more than 2 hours to get home because of the traffic. You never know when the traffic is going to be bad. We’re glad they’re back from their trip, though.
I think I work better under pressure. Of course, I become a raving lunatic, too. I don’t think I have procrastinated much.
I think it’s just that many of the things that I am doing will never be finished until the day they are due, anyway. For example, is a sermon ever really FINISHED? I don’t think so. I think you tweak it until the end. It’s the same with conferences or classes. You’re never really DONE preparing for them. You can’t cross it off the list until the event is over.
That’s where I’m at now. I have a lot of projects that will not be finished until the date has passed. This makes me stressed. It makes me think that I have so much to do that it becomes overwhelming. I guess I have to ignore the perfectionist in me and just roll with it as the events come and go.
Here are some things:
All day seminar tomorrow and Sunday morning…an hour from where I live.
Master’s Level seminary class all next week.
Grade tests and papers for class in Cuba and class in Mexico.
Janell’s dad drives a dump truck. Yesterday, he hit a bird…a big bird. Yep, that’s right, he hit a turkey. The thing went flying through his windshield and into the truck while he was loaded with limerock. Here are some pictures.
The good news is, her dad is okay. The turkey, on the other hand, had some fatal injuries.
