Well I'm back from werrifest, AKA "time off work #2". It was really great. I don't think it was as emotionally charged as last time, but spiritually it was a lot better. The youth group guys put on the church service in the night time after camp, and they did an excellent job. My highlight would probably be the interpretive dance item :O

Well back to work, and another year. What faces me this next 12 months? I'm financially committed to being in work since I bought a property. It's not a huge mortgage, but it'll mean I have to definately be in a job for the next few years or so, earning a regular income. That's not so bad. I wouldn't be able to sign myself up for a 20 year mortgage :O that would be death. That's a quater of your life spent paying off a house. I guess it's a harsh reality for a lot of people. Buying outside of sydney may mean I'll never be able to afford to live here in my own place, since house prices just keep going up and up, but is that so bad? What's in sydney anyway? work opportunities? Why do I need to work in a crazy job if I don't have a crazy sydney mortgage? In any case, we'll see how things go, I may have settled my future now with this purchase, and I'm not disappointed with that.

Faith. I learned a lot last year, especially in the second half of the year. I learned about organisation in religion, people who are in charge, my gifts, and what I think God wants for the near future in my life. I learned patience as well, and grace. I think this next year will be more of a deeper intellectual understanding, pushing my knowledge rather than my spirit. We'll see what happens though, it's hard to predict anything.

Insurance companies suck. EVERYONE READ YOUR POLICY.

Basketball is fun again.

Computer games are still fun, but you can play too much. They also loose a lot of the entertainment factor if you don't know who you are playing with. It's just not the same if you can't talk to a friend while you wait to respawn etc.

I am a musician. A crap one, but still a musician none the less. Learning guitar to a "I can play at parties a bit" stage took no time at all. I think the hard part starts now. It's fun though, and useful. I like being able to understand music a little better and to be able to create it.

Health was bad last year. So much sickness. I hope I get better this year.

Love... well everyone says marriage is hard. Me and connie are cruising through it at the moment. We spend quite a bit of time together considering our vastly different body clocks, but it works well because we both have time to be alone as well. We don't tred on each other's feet... I think having kids would change that. Kids are a long way off for us at this point in time. It would be awesome to be a Dad, but I think I need a little more life experience first. I don't know what I want for me and connie, let alone what I'd want for my kids. I think we're preparing for them well though. Finding a good environment to live in, being financially OK, and of course lots of experience in dealing with kids through youth group leading. If my kids turn out as good as the youth group kids I'll be very happy.

No resolutions for me...
maybe jsut to try not to spend as much on lunch.
