[My.Last.Week]

I told my wife this morning that today was my last work week here at the church. Feels good, but feels kind of strange at the same time. I've got more than enough to fill up my time this week. I'm planning on trying to get the "have tos" done in the first day or two so that I can spend the rest of the week answering the "How do I do this?" questions that people are sure to ask me in regards to many things that I have done on my own in the past. Our secretary already hit me this morning as soon as I got here & told me that she wanted to get with me sometime this week to ask me some questions. That's fine. I knew that much of my week would be filled up with these kind of requests.

I've been the technological catalyst, to say the least, at our church. When I arrived here we had one out-dated computer that someone had given to the church. I leave with a network of ten computers and a new educational wing completely pre-wired for network & high-speed Internet access. This is one aspect of my new position that is going to be an adjustment. I talked with the guy I'll be working with last week about what 'gear' I was going to need. The thought of someone else picking out my laptop is a strange one. I've talked with him enough that I trust what he'll pick out, but it still feels strange, nonetheless.

This week is going to fly by. I can't believe that we're going to be moving in a little over a week! Exciting, scary, & sad all wrapped up into one. I'm actually sitting here while I type this working on our Senior Video that we do every year for our graduates. It's kind of hard to watch & I know it is only going to get worse as the week goes on. We have a 'Senior Roast' on Wednesday night where we honor/pick-on our seniors and then our Graduate Recognition Sunday will be the same day as our last Sunday - next week on the 16th. It will be an emotional day - but a good one as well.
