Ya know, when you are new in town and you are just renting a room, no utilities to pay, no bills coming to the house, its tough to get a Library card. I headed over to the West Salem Library today to just pretty much check it out. I found a book that I wanted to get- a book in HTML so I could try to learn myself some ways of tricking out my blogging, and I go up to the counter asking how I get a Library card and they have to have proof of ID with my address on it. I was not planning on changing my ID so it had my new address because I am not planning on living here all that long. I will not be using this address for hardly any mail, so we had to think of something creative. Anyways, what we decided was that I would take my mail from the Willamette ESD in there and they would have to approve that as my Identification. We will see. But, that is kind of a bummer, because I wanted to get a book today so I could learn some new stuff while I wait for jobs and school to start. I guess I will just have to be patient.
Well, another topic, I got a chance to meet Brian Woolard- the Middle School Pastor at Salem First Baptist on Sunday and he was talking with me and asking questions about my past church experience. He asked how I came to FBC, and if I had been involved in any specific areas in my previous church. I guess I should not have started with that I was a MS Director for some time at FBC Bend, cuz the topic didnt get much further than that. He asked if I was interested in helping with his MS program. I originally said, I was, But I was also planning on checking out other churches. Then, a few days ago, when I decided to make FBC Salem my home church away from home, I emailed him back today asking if he still wanted me to check out the group and what time and all that.
So, I am planning on going in a little over an hour to the Middle School Program at First Baptist to check it out. I don't really know what to expect. I am pretty sure that it will take a while to get to know the kids, but that is just my personality. In any situation, I am excited to give it a shot.
BTW- Today is my first Rain day in Salem. How Depressing.

Take a deep breath for me! There is nothing that smells better then the green side of the mountain when it's raining!=)
rain? depresseing? I think we need to get you some rosier glasses :) Too bad home & salem are so far apart - when I was at multnomah, Multnomah County Library system allowed Clark County (WA) residents get library cards with their WA addresses :)
