Tomorrow is Bowness' grad. A bunch of my kids will be graduating, which is such a strange thought. I've been working with some of them since they were in grade 10, and it's weird to think that now, they move on, and only some of them will be back next year.
On Sunday, at Craig and Tammi's farewell BBQ, the youth group gave them a scrapbook. Each kid could do a page (or more), and then they all went into one book. Anyways, I did 4 pages, focusing mainly on the drama group. The first page was kind of a title page, with some of the reasons and influences behind the name "Unnamed Productions." Then, I did a page each for The Waiting Room, Morbidman Meets His Maker, and Our Town. I was putting pictures on the Waiting Room page, and it struck me how young they all looked! Seriously! They were such little kids back then.
My babies are all growing up...
Anyways, I've got a sink full of dishes and a floor that needs to be vacuumed that are calling my name.
One year ago today: Anger isn't a true emotion. It's a transitory one. Think about it. When you're angry, most often it's because you're hurt, embarrassed, frustrated, betrayed, sad, or some other, more real, emotion. It's easier to be angry, though, than it is to be any of the others. They require too much vulnerability. They're more real. Anger is so easy... it just covers everything else up, and puts you on the defensive, instead of forcing you to be real with what's hidden beneath the anger.
