exhausted

i'm so tired. it's 8:30 and i'm ready to go to bed...and i probably will...very soon. i didn't sleep much last night, maybe 3 1/2 or 4 hrs. hopefully i can make it through this post. maybe not...zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

okay, okay...i'll let you in on todays happenings, then i'll make my way to the comfort of my bed and my down comforter and my pillow.

i wasn't sure what training for this job was actually going to consist of. i knew that we'd be learning about what it is we're going to be spending out days doing, but that's it. there's 2 training classes going on right now. there's about 16 or so people in my class and from what i can tell, we seem like a fun bunch of people. very diverse, very talkative, and overall we just seem fun. we did this icebreaker this morning where we were given an index card with a person's name on it and we had to go around the room and look for a name that matched ours. i was bart simpson, so i had to find my lisa. once we found our partner, we had questions of the back of our cards we had to share with each other, then we had to introduce each other to the class. so now everyone knows that my favorite movie is say anything, my favorite tv show is gilmore girls, and that my favorite book is the outsiders. i love learning silly facts like this about people, especially about their favorites. i think you can learn a lot about people from these things.

other fun things that happened today include buying new jeans (yay!), eating lunch with brooke, getting a new drivers license (with a pretty decent picture!).

okay, i'm going to go veg in my bed until my pretty little eyes shut and i fall asleep, i'm sure it won't be long.

Glad to hear your first day at work went better than expected. As I said last night I was planning to call and see how it went, but I just now got home. We are having special services at church all week. Tonight was awesome. Richard Oldham from Glendale was the preacher. He is one of the greatest pastors in BG having been at Glendale for 48 years now. Bowling Green has been blessed with amazing preachers - so in Amy Thomas fashion here is a list - here are the top 5 preachers in Bowling Green and I have heard a large majority of BG preachers.

5) Jamie Ward, Hillvue wed nights
4)Kevin Hash, Burton Memorial
3)Steve Ayers, Hillvue
2)Steve Hussung (I know I spelled it wrong), Rich Pong,
1)Richard Oldham, Glendale

Hey Jeff - yes Paul Washer is one of the strongest preachers I have ever heard. I do hope to get him at my new church very soon (I'm not at Burton anymore). However, believe it or not Jeff we had a guy at Burton last fall who I like better than Paul Washer. His name is Michael Durham and he is from Paducah - he and Paul Washer are good friends and run in the same circles. He is awesome. The last sermon I heard him preach was one on cd and he was bashing the 4 spiritual laws booklet - this guy is hardcore. IF you want shoot me an email at bro_jeremyatwood@hotmail.com and I will send you some sermons from him.
