Here it is, seventeen days into the new year, and I've already blown one of my resolutions: I did resolve to blog at least once per week-- if not each day. Blew it. Not even with an excuse.

I'd say I've been busy, but it's only sort-of true. The truth is I just don't get motivated-- nobody reads this, so it's pretty easy to not write.

I went to my required RIM retreat this month, where we did more on family systems. It's the big deal. We keep focusing on it, because so many families are dysfunctional, I think. Maybe we need to talk to a psychologist, or psychiatrist. I don't know if that'll happen.

The next thing we did was Minister's School-- now that I have been put on the board of managers for this year, I paid more attention. It was good to see how Andy Bryan plays and sings. He's awesome! I wish we had somebody at my church who could play the piano like he does, or could write songs-- he takes Wesleyan hymns and puts them to new tunes. They're so much better.
