It has been a day or two.

I'm not doing a very good job of posting on my blog. I was going to use my blog as a journal, trying to recommit myself to writing in my journal. The last couple of days have been somewhat uneventful for me. The excitement of the weekend was getting a new bishopric. Lance Rigby is the new bishop, Dave Leavitt is the first counselor and Rick Georosoli is the second counselor. Barb knew it was Lance about 2 weeks ago. She is always in tune that way. I was still guessing until they announced it. An interesting note, not that it means anything, Dave is our home teacher, (Dave and I have been friends since we were kids) Jacob and I are Rick's home teacher, and I was Lance's home teacher for about a year. The connection I have with the new bishopric is interesting. I also had another interesting thought that goes against what I was thinking would happen. I believe Dave is the oldest one of the three. I was thinking that the new bishopric would be older. Barb and I were discussing this and between the two of us have come to the conclusion that the kids in the ward need younger leadership. The kids today do not "conform" to the "expectations" of the older generation like we were expected to when we were kids. It is defiantly a different generation that we are dealing with, not only the youth, but the primary kids. Teachers and leaders need to be relaxed. If I was a teacher in a school class room I would expect the kids to "toe the line". Barb and I have come to the conclusion that this type of "control" or "expectations" doesn't work with this generation. Maybe that is why the new bishopric is younger.
Well, today is a good example of the random stuff floating around in my head on any given day. As you can see, there isn't too much going on in my head that is of a profound or useful nature. That is one of the reasons that I don't write sometimes. I did sit down over the weekend to write, but the ideas in my head at the time seemed so meaningless that I felt that it was a waste of time to write them down. When I write I feel as if I should be writing something meaningful, and do not want to bore a reader with the random stuff in my head. I don't know if this is the way I should be thinking about it or not. According to Mr. Kelsch, the thinkshed is for all thoughts, however random. I have a hard time doing that sometimes. May be I just don't want people to consider sending someone with a little white jacket that laces up the back to come get me. There are times when I can't make sense of what is going on in my head, and it is my head! Okay, enough rambling for one day.
