Before the last 2 weeks, I had kind of viewed a full time job as a commitment to be somewhere 40-60 hours a week.
Under this definition, youth ministry is not a full time job. It's a freaking lifestyle.
Days off are basically days where I don't go into the office, but I do all the other work that people ask me to do. Then I go into the office to check my email and such.
But, it's really not that bad.
One of the things I'm noticing is the difference between the life of a single guy and that of a married guy.
I've worked until 9 or 10 and never had to tell anybody where I'm going. Never had to run any errands that weren't job related. I only go to the grocery store once every 2 weeks. And when I get home at night, I walk around in my boxers and play guitar.
It's a little too... simple for me. I don't think I could do the single's lifestyle until I retire.
I'm about to leave for summer camp, though, where I will be doing crazy things until the wee hours of the morning all week. I'm excited. See you guys in a week.

So, this is the blog of Brett. I used to write on my Myspace and I still use my Facebook all the time to tell people what's going on in my life, but I suppose true blogging isn't about what's happening in your life, it's about your reaction to it and what it inspires you to think. Not to say that this is my journal. It's where I drop my brain off at the end of the day.
