It’s late in the afternoon (evening) after a very full day. Even superintendents have to pay bills. In any case, it was fun having Penny over for a couple of days. We went to Beacon Light SDA Church for Sabbath morning. I had a great time preaching on 2 Corinthians 12. Penny tells me she enjoyed the message. I enjoyed preaching it—so that’s at least two people who enjoyed being there….the music was lively and the people were warm and accepting. There was not a wall clock to be found anywhere. I was told that I did not get up to preach till close to 12:30. Good time!
We had a restful afternoon which ended with a stimulating conversation with some young men at the boys’ dorm. We talked about changes at TAA and policy changes regarding closed campus, uniforms, dorms schedules, and such. It was nice to sit down and help these young people go through the process of change and seeing how to go about making a case for their positions. That was followed by an entertaining evening in the TAA gymnasium and the 2011 edition of Class Scramble. It was amazing to see the things these kids brought “just in case” the man at the microphone called for them. A lot of running and, obviously, scrambling to find the items which included such things as a Santa Clause (the Seniors brought one) and a cockroach (a dead one, fortunately, provided by the Juniors).
Today was wrapped up in paperwork—schoolwork for Penny, and finances for me. The Good Egg sure can make a tasty breakfast, though.
It’s amazing how expenses always grow to meet the amount of money available. This coming week should be a busy one, as I try to catch up on the elementary side of things. TCE needs some extra attention. The Maricopa Village School is taking its first steps. Enrollment numbers are up across the conference, but some schools still struggling to find students to meet their budgets. The work begins!
