fridays are majestic. this friday will be quite majestic after the higgs talk is over in, oh, 5.5 hours. in just a few moments I'm going to get my act together and finish up details..
which brings us to facilitator training this weekend and the conclusion of one of the busier seasons of my life. reviewed weekend-by weekend, we've had:
04/27-04/29: facilitator training
04/20-04/22: spokane
04/13-04/15: olympia & tacoma
04/06-04/08: olympia, easter
03/30-04/01: soundview (high ropes adventure)
03/23-03/25: soundview (high ropes) & continuing in seattle (debbie's crew)
03/16-03/18: soundview (facilitating) & olympia
03/09-03/11: spokane & s/v people
and I'm pretty sure there was serious stuff going on every weekend before that leading back to new years.
and so, in just a few days, forced rest. thank God.
having a full life has been a tremendous blessing in many ways and has led to self-blindness in so many others. and that blindness isn't tolerable anymore. it just isn't healthy and it detracts from honest worship before God.

alrighty, back to work.
oh, and a sad comment on society: it's not good when the media is sufficiently pervaded with newspeak that, upon reading an editorial/article, the reader can intuit (and later confirm) more of the actual events from the way the article is written and the rhetoric is chosen than from the misleading tripe actually published.
honest and clear discussion is at the heart of the functional/beneficial discourse that drives a healthy republic. the citizen should and must be as committed to vigilance on this front (for it is the internal defense against authoritarianism) as he is committed to vigilance against external threats.
