cleaning the basement

Last night I spent some more time cleaning the basement. Went through 8 portable file containers, whittled the contents of them down to one portable file container. Gave Haley a whole bunch of clothes to donate to Goodwill.

We were going to put price tags on the the garage sale items, but Haley opted to let me continue cleaning the basement.  Haley is tentatively planning a garage sale this weekend.  I’ll find out if it’s going to fly or not by tomorrow.

Tonight is the high school youth group (Underground).

My inlaws are coming into town this weekend (Friday night). Suggested to my mother in law that she check out the Lighhouse Opening. http://www.kenoshahistorycenter.org/events6.htm Even if she doesn’t get to go to the party on Friday night, she can always go see and do a tour of it on Saturday.

I’m gearing up to do a deacon retreat Friday night / Saturday morning.  We’re going to be talking about some changes that will be happening over the summer / fall for our church.  Looking forward to it!

Haley has a bunch of things for her parents to do this weekend. 

I’m also signing up for BT 5502 – 01 Biblical Theology of the New Testament at Moody.  This course runs from 05/24/2011 – 07/18/2011 and is an introduction to New Testament theology from the perspective of each author, the progress of his thought, his historical background, and culture. It includes a study of the three Synoptic Gospels, the book of Acts, the Pauline letters, the Johannine writings, and the General Letters. I will be learning how to trace themes within the biblical text.

There’s only three more weeks of regular middle school ministry left.  I’m going to miss the leaders that are leaving, but I’m looking forward to the new leaders that are coming in!
