When I arrived, I hardly knew anyone. But, few minutes later, some of the church members started to show up – little more comforting.
I’m realizing more and more that the people whom God’s calling me to minister is very different from the youth group kids I’ve been dealing w/ most of my ministry career. At times, I feel lot more comfortable talking to the teenagers/college people. Now that I’m interacting w/ people mostly w/ finance industries in nyc, I’ve gotta start learning the stuff they’re into – kinda learn their language and understand what’s going on in their lives…at the same time, I won’t go as far as learning to play golf! I know JO’s been hinting that I should learn…but, hey, I lived thru youth ministry w/out learning how to play basketball! I just can’t picture myself on the golf course…real musicians don’t really play golf you know…
Well, the banquet was pretty interesting. Towards the end of the night, they started playing techno and people, mostly middle aged Korean men and women, started dancing, while most of the young couples sat around watching them. And ones in my table felt really uncomfortable as the bass frequency was so strong. I got extremely annoyed b/c they were serving tiramisu, one of the few cakes I really like, but the booming bass was giving me a sensation of indigestion! I did managed to finish tho…

Ha ha, that's true, you never did seem very comfortable on the basketball court, although I do remember you playing once in a while.
I'm with you, I don't see the point of golf. Is it a sport? I'd rather play ball or workout. Is it for relaxation? I'd rather sleep or watch TV. It's really just a way to do business, in my opinion.
way to hold your ground, jk! ;) it's funny. i have few of my mommy friends who just started playing also, but i still can't shake the idea that it's the sport of the rich even though that's really not the case anymore. with my lack of sports genes, it'd probably be the sport that suits me the most, but yeah, i still can't succumb to it. :)
awca banquet, eh? it's very interesting. if i were nearby, i'd love to see what this organization is all about. pretty cool.
