Will the madness never end?

The oil and gas industry blames the hurricane for their jacked up prices. I blame greed. I'd show them a thing or two, but I just filled up my car yesterday with SUPER+ and I'm having a little trouble walking right now...

Where'd my time go?

Well today was a long day. I have been going for 13 hours straight. I had a small 15 minute break, which I used to take a shower, but other than that it has been a busy day. Not bad, just busy.

We had a football game today. I had two touchdown catches and a couple of really long receptions. It went really well, except for the losing part, it would have been perfect. Our defense just couldn't stop their offense. Oh well. We play again tomorrow. That should be fun.

Sorry for this pathetic excuse of a post. My brain is shot for today. Hopefully the rest of this week will see some higher quality writing. Hopefully. At least tomorrow is picture Tuesday. That always excites me.

Baby, You're amazing

I have the most wonderful, beautiful girlfriend in the whole world. That's all I have to say today. She is amazing and absolutely gorgeous. And she's pretty attached to me. I'm pretty blessed. I know. Wahoo.

Have a great weekend everybody. See ya Monday.

And there was chapel on the twenty-first day. And it was pretty good.

So chapel wasn't as empty as I expected. There was a really good turnout. As for the quality of chapel, it was definitely better than last year. The sound guy didn't have the sound quite right for the band. It was really light on vocals and heavy on electric guitar. The quality of the band was great though. From what I could tell, they did a fine job. The speaker was a little long-winded and didn't use the Bible as much as could be hoped for, but it wasn't a bad little talk. There were just a few too many stories and not quite enough of God's words. The important thing is, it went well and nobody walked away offended. This should be a better year for Canyon spiritually.

Football and chapel: Oddly enough they are related

Intramurals started on Monday here at GCU. The football season has kicked off. My team, The Eagles of Doom, played on Tuesday. The team is mostly made of freshmen guys with a sophomore and me. With that said, we didn't do too bad. Sure the final score was 45-12. Sure we didn't score in the second half at all. Sure we looked a little sluggish, but all in all it was a moral victory. We all showed up wearing the right colors. Joking aside, I had fun. It's a good chance to get some exercise and hang out with the guys. Our next game is Thursday, I'm hoping we can score 3 touchdowns this time.

Today is the first day of the new and improved chapel at Canyon. We're hoping it went under an extreme make-over, because, quite frankly, last year the chapel was deplorable. Meh. It's only once a week. As long as no one does an interpretive dance to Michael Jackson's Thriller this year, I'll be happy. Most likely it will be like our football game, full of potential but just not quite up to par. I'll give a full review on chapel in tomorrow's post. O ya. That has got you wanting to read again tomorrow. If you want to skip tomorrow, I understand, I'll see you Friday for a breakdown of the football game. Okay. Maybe I'll see you on Monday.

Monday is finally over

Hopefully a blogging trend is starting here. This is officially two days in a row!!! Yay me. Happy Picture Tuesday.


Think your day sucks? I bet this little guy is a tad embarrassed. At least he got a sucker.

The tank is half empty

As I sit here looking at my weekly schedule, it seems pretty full. Between classes, meetings and events I can usually count on being busy from 9 - 6 every day. Some days it isn't that bad, and some days it is worse. The good news is that my week isn't usually very intense, just busy. What makes the week long though is that I don't have church to look forward to at the end of the week.

Jamie and I still haven't found a church to call home yet. We were semi going to Open Door Fellowship and we may still end up there, but I have to believe that there is something better out there on this side of town. I really liked the pastor there, John Lynch, but there was something about the rest of the service that wasn't right. I don't quite have a handle on what is wrong, but I have a bad feeling about it. And then yesterday Jamie and I went to North Phoenix Baptist. Wow. That's a big church. Too big. Also, the whole service seemed like a performance rather than worship of God. The people up front were there to entertain and keep us occupied for the hour and a half that we "had" to be there. There were other problems, but in a nutshell, we won't be going back.

Pray for us that we would find a church. Jamie and I are both very active in leadership on campus at GCU and are constantly pouring ourselves into others. But you can't pour into other people if nobody is pouring into you. Jamie has some older, mature Christian women on campus who are pouring into her, but I have no one. I am the old guy on campus. Pray for me.
