I have been serving as an Elder in my church for six years. Most of the time I was on the Christian Education Team. The Christian Ed. team is in charge of Youth Group and Sunday School and Nursery. In the Presbyterian church you can serve as an Elder for a term of three years and you can serve two terms back to back. It's a good thing to serve...I believe it is a good thing to serve. But...it's also really tiring because of all the meetings and sub meetings and emails and readings. And it's also stressful sometimes when there are big decisions...I want so badly to be doing what God wants for my church family.
This past Sunday we elected new elders. Now, technically I'm still an elder until the new ones are installed...BUT...I had SO much work to do and it was my students' first home basketball game...so I made the uncomfortable email to ask if I could skip it. So, now...I'm at home and there's a meeting going on and I'm not there...and I TOTALLY feel like I'm skipping school. :-)
Also...today in the mail I received the TITLE TO MY CAR...what a nice surprise! I knew we were getting close with all the payments but I thought I still had a couple of months to go. Woo Hoo!

I'm sure the king could totally relate to your feeling of playing "hooky"! When does your 6 years officially end??
