Tonight is the big lock-in. Right now, 12 hours from now, I'll be playing laser tag with 30 of my closest students (or at least the ones that signed up and planned to come).
It should be fun. I managed to sleep until about 9 am this morning... not nearly the 11 am that I was hoping for. But maybe I'll grab a nap this afternoon after some Halo or some other Xbox game (I borrowed Doom 3, Burnout Revenge, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Command and Conquer, Guitar Hero 2, Fight Night Round 3 and Call of Duty 4 (which is really tempting me)) that I borrow from a friend (that's JO).
But I'm just chillin'. Everything is ready to roll for tonight. Just waiting for 8 pm to get here. Should be fun. Hopefully I'll have some pictures to throw up on here tomorrow.

Early morning... Long day...
Today is going to be a pretty long day.
First off, I had Thursday morning Bible Study at 6 am this morning. So, I was up about 4:50 am. I'm getting ready to jump into some sermon writing here as soon as I post this and listen to some music to "neutral" my mind.
Then, tomorrow night we're having a 12 hour overnighter. That begins at 8 pm and last until 8 am. I love and hate lock-ins. I love them because it's a great time to hang out with students, have conversations, have some fun and make some memories. But I hate them because it's 12 hours and I would rather be sleeping with at least 8 of those hours. Then it screws with my internal clock and messes up my sleep cycle. (Remember: I'm preaching on Sunday.)
So, my plan is to start off the day well. Grab a nap after lunch this afternoon, then stay up as long as I can tonight (maybe 2 or 3 am) so that I can sleep in Friday morning as long as possible (hopefully noon). I've got a Rock Band thing with one of my middle school leaders and some high school students at 5 this afternoon. Then Jeff, the middle school leader in question, and I and others are headed to Buffalo Wild Wings for some NTN Trivia (that should run me through about 10:00 or 11:00 pm. Jackie is closing tonight, so I'm hoping to jump in on some (totally addictive) Halo until my goal time.
We'll see how it goes. Good plan... but can I carry it out. Last time, I thought I had a good plan only to fail about 12:00 or 12:30 am.
