Busy and good

Basketball practice starts on Monday.

I have a date on Saturday.

**Not sure which of those I'm more excited about. Actually, I am pretty sure...**

I am reading an awesome book on about a prophetic vision this guy had that is challenging me and encouraging me and breaking my heart and...

And hopefully, there will be poker on Friday...

What does this say about me and my blog?

Sunset in Terre Haute

It rained all day yesterday...until about 6pm or so. Just enough time to give one of the most beautiful sunsets I've ever seen in a long time. Pictures don't really do it justice, but actually make it seem a little more firery.

100009

I'll take "Odometer readings I wish I have looked at ten miles earlier" for 1000, Alex.

That's what I get for driving when I'm tired--I miss important milestones.

*Bawk*






On a much less serious note, I have a plastic chicken in my classroom. Rather, had. It is no longer in my classroom -- it has been stolen from me. How depressing is that?

Well, besides seriously missing my chicken, it has become quite the topic of conver- sation in my classes. Well, recently I got a ransom note. Kind of. No actual note or demands, just pictures of my poor, defenseless, tortured little chicken. :(

What kind of vile, horrible, moral-less person (not to insult my students, of course), would stick my little friend on a grill? Or under a car? Or in a cactus?

The question becomes, do I actually go into the student parking lot and try to find the owner of the hubcaps in the picture? :)

Spiritually on trial

Well, sort of. Amongst the craziness of all God is doing (and did) on Sunday, one such thing is my leadership status in the home-church I attend. Mainly, am I a leader/elder of the group? My status in this group has always been weird--not a new believer, but I don't have the history with the other elders. God sees me as part of the core group there, but I do live 2 hours away. So, am I an elder there? The current elders are praying about it, and it's weird knowing that. I trust God is at work, and it's not really something to "worry" about in any way--it doesn't really say anything about me as a person one way or the other--but it's still a little weird.

I didn't think anything about it until one of my best friends (and current elder) asked me, "Do you feel like you're being judged?" No, I don't, but now that you mention it... Again, I'm not really worried about it one way or another, but I think it's weird to actually know you're being considered (especially in a church with no formal nomination process). Anyone else can relate to that?

On a somewhat related (but probably only in my head) note, have you ever felt a finger being pointed at you? From someone ten feet away? A prophecy was being given, but the prophecier (spelling? is that even a word?) didn't know to whom it pertained....and then all of a sudden did, and pointed, and said, "And it's you." And I felt it in my chest. Not like a pain, but something....that kind of spread through most of my torso. Weirdness. God's doing stuff, I just hope I have the faith to trust Him and let Him take charge...

I hate baseball. And if the bum's Indians don't put away the Yankees real fast, I'll hate it even more.

At least, until March.

Insomnia

Cubs. In the playoffs. In Arizona. Games start at 10pm.

Sleep is overrated, right?
