Every so often, we’ll get a call at our office from a church looking for childcare workers for a special service or conference.  Our leaders and volunteers take turns filling these requests and, instead of them getting paid, we ask the church to make one donation directly to Starlite.  The extra funds help us take [...]

That’s not a misspelling in the title — don’t be calling our girl MEGan; try saying it like this:
“Maaaaaaaaaaay-gan.”
Yep, I do believe that’s how we say it down here.  Now that you’ve got that down, lets get goin’ and get to know this fair-haired beauty.

Hello Miss Magen!

Well, hello!

Remember how you were the first person I [...]

I have a hard time choosing what my favorite aspect of my job is — I mean, I love the administrative side of what I do but I also love the ministry side as well.  I love the times when I’m watching a lot of girls run into a sleepover and I also love the [...]

Over the past five years, I’ve had plenty of time to get used to people calling Starlite my “hobby” and “that little thing you do.”  I used to get all riled up; that little “hobby” was a 40+ hours a week thing I did.  For no pay.  For four straight years.  With only processed nacho [...]

You’ll be bored happy to know that the meds have kicked in… right around 3 a.m.  I spent a horrid glorious four hours staring at my ceiling this morning, willing myself to fall back asleep.  My doctor downgraded me to “pre-flu” yesterday so I spent most of my awake hours this morning wondering if that [...]

I’m used to getting recognized in our small town as the leader of Starlite.  Before you start thinking I walk around with a head the size of Texas wearing sunglasses everywhere I go, you should know that me being recognized doesn’t mean that much.  I mean, there aren’t too many all-girls’ ministries here, after all.  [...]

For some reason, ever since I’ve been a child, cold medicine has either made me absolutely wild or put me in a zombie-like state.  Almost every single time I get sick, my mom tells stories about her giving me children’s cold medicine as a child only to have me literally bouncing off walls moments after [...]

Now that I have had approximately 136 hours of sleep — which leaves me needing only 52 more to be back to my pre-MSW (Massive Sleepover Week) self — I am ready to give you a full re-cap of this past week.  Using, of course, pictures.  Because pictures are worth a thousand words.  And me?  I have [...]

At some point during last night, I fell asleep in a room full of air mattresses with other Starlite leaders.  I awoke a few minutes later to find that my air mattress had been deflated.
The sad thing is that I don’t think it was a middle schooler who did it.  I think it was one [...]

Hola, interlings.
The update promised earlier today isn’t exactly going to happen.  I seem to have forgotten all of the last minute things that come up when you’re hosting an event for a bunch of little girls.  Silly me.
I am currently “live blogging” (man, I feel so cool right now) from the upper floor of this [...]
