College and Career meeting or whatever you'd like to call it.

When Pastor mentioned it to us we thought it sounded like a great idea. Even though it meant not being a part of DBC anymore we were psyched for the first class. I figured there would be note taking, a little lecture, and then some fellowship.
It turns out that I was wrong. When Tom Cav. and I went into the church we weren't sure what to do. We both noticed some kids misbehaving in the Champion class and weren't sure if we were supposed to go up there and stop them. OF course it didnt matter because Bro. Webb took care of it before we could decide. We didn't feel authorotative anymore, or atleast I didn't. When we sang the songs, it was like we were in the clubs again, It felt just like the first time I sang them. Hallalu even seemed fun again.
Pastor dismissed all of the kids and before we knew it we were chasing Pastor over to the Parsonage. First order of business was getting everyone something to drink. Tom enjoyed the lemonade, I'm not sure what Danielle had, but I sipped the coffee.
As a side note it's a pity Mrs. Hugan doesn't drink the stuff, she makes a wonderful pot of coffee.
The books were dispensed, they consist of seperate sheets of paper in a handbook sized binder. $14 for the package, a steal for the use we're going to get out of them. They are notes for daily devotions. The first few pages are the daily prompts for the devotions. Every page after that lists days of the week, a place to fill in the prompt, a place to answer the prompt(prompts are in question form) and a spot for how you can apply it to your life.
We didnt get a lecture, it was a devotion that Pastor ended with discussion, which judging by are responses, we aren't use to. The prompt was on being a good employee and how to deal with unfavorable conditions at work. At the moment I needed that.
we finished it out with refills on our drinks, tortilla chips and some salsa. (the good stuff Bro. Lenz brings to men's fellowships).
It was a good idea, and I can already see the effects its going to have. It was good fun, good fellowship and good of the Hugans to invite us into their home. Parsonage or not it's still their home, and it made a comfortable place to have the meeting. It gave it a more relaxed sense about it.
I'm still psyched about it.
