just a few more days before graduation and vset training in pine valley.  lotta preparation going on for that.  please pray that any issues with schools, transportation, and parents God will work out and we'll be able to worship Him for His sovereignty when we find out his answer.  i really need to remain prayerful during this because it's easy to just get really busy and do these logistical tasks in my own strength and in a godless way.  thanks

case closed.  our jury deliberations lasted for about 40 minutes and when we called the baliff in, she was shocked that it went so quickly.  i guess the evidence just made the facts so obvious.  so starting tomorrow i'll be back to normal life.  i got to talk to some of the jurors and get to know them a little, but it was difficult to relate.  of the 14 jurors (12 + 2 alternates), there were 7 grandmas, 4 moms, 1 dad, and 1 other single woman.  they seemed to always talk about raising children, or housekeeping, or their children/grandchildren.  it was cool to get to know 13 people from completely diverse backgrounds and stages of life, but juror ministry was hard.  one elderly lady was completely opposed to any form of organized religion and she wouldn't even let me explain before jumping to conclusions.  this taught me how long term workplace ministry needs to be because i feel like i needed to have a better relationship with these people before i could get into their lives and minister the gospel.  it also showed me more and more ways to look at the world and how differently people view themselves and the world than most of the people i usually talk to on campus.  it was a very interesting experience though.  i recommend jury duty to anyone who can afford the time away from work. 

welcome back party for tony and eric friday night at 6pm at WHEC.  please let us know if you are coming.
