A vacation is a wonderful thing or as they say in London "on holiday". However, trying not to sound pessimistic, I often return to find that in my absence things come just short of a nuclear meltdown. Now allow me to alliterate, and bear with me. I promise I will be positive in the end. My student minister led a bible study that encouraged our youth to embrace a radical form of doctrine. (I would rather not divulge the subject of his teaching, just let me say that it would merit immediate termination). My board leaders called, actually a full 12 hours before "the holiday" was over, to inform me of this and that we had several frightened youth and angry parents. When I arrived at the office I discoverd His resignation letter on my desk. I love the boy to death but he had heard the backlash and vanished before my return.

Headed to Memphis this weekend for a mini vacation. Graceland, Mud Island, a Wedding, and maybe a glimpse of Elvis is on the agenda. I leave you all with a few words from Marc Cohn.

I want to thank all of you who have taken the time and trouble to send me your chain letters over the past two years. Thank you for making me feel safe, secure, blessed, and wealthy. Because of your concern... I no longer can drink Coca Cola because it can remove toilet stains. I no longer drink Pepsi or Dr Pepper since the people who make these products are atheists who refuse to put "Under God" on their cans I no longer use Saran wrap in the microwave because it causes cancer. I no longer use cancer-causing deodorants even though I smell like a water buffalo on a hot day. I no longer answer the phone because someone will ask me to dial a stupid number for which I will get the phone bill from ‘you know where’ with calls to Jamaica, Uganda, Singapore, and Uzbekistan. Thanks to you, I have learned that God only answers my prayers if I forward an email to 7 of my friends and make a wish within 5 minutes. I no longer have any savings at all, but that will change once I ...

As a tradition I would take my kids out for breakfast their last week of School. My son and I started this when he was home. Today was my first time with the girls, Hailey is 17 and Allison is 13. We left the house an hour earlier than usual and whent to the Shoneys breakfast bar. We talked about the year and our summer plans. I enjoy being around my girls. They make me genuinely laugh. I hope these times build fond memories for them!
