The Pace is Picking Up

Today was 12/12/12 and it will not be that again for 100 years.  I guess the next big day is December 21, huh?  I truly doubt the day will be anything other than another day, except for some “crazy” that may use the day to create some sort of apocalyptic scenario to get some sick sense of notoriety.  No need to worry!  Every day bring enough to worry about.

These have been a couple of very busy days in my life.  Education Board for the Arizona Conference took place on Tuesday and the Executive Board for the Arizona Conference took place today.  Add a personnel committee and a budget committee to the mix and you can begin to sense my level of busyness. 

But at least I am on this side of the storm and I’m still standing.  Some pretty sensitive matters were considered.  It’s tough to have make decisions that seriously impact people’s lives.  But sometimes it’s inevitable.  Great discussion took place during the Education Board related to identifying new sources of income for the school system.  The good news is that Tax Credit funds have spiked considerably this year.  That bodes well for December donations.  But it is going to take quite a windfall to significantly impact the financial challenges that exist presently in certain schools in the system.

The coming days do not offer any hope of slowing down.  Christmas season only picks up the pace.  Additional rehearsals are planned this week and next for the TCE Christmas Concert.  That should be fun.  Tomorrow I will be visiting GAA to do teacher observations after rehearsing with the TCE group in the early morning.

Change is in the air! (217)
