Life

Life is crazy right now. I once heard that it is better to busy than bored. I am not too sure that I agree with that statement. I will just compromise and say that there should definitely be a balance between the two. But it is crazy. There are so many things going on personally and in ministry. Some good, some bad. But just for the change of things, lets focus on the good.
I moved into a house this past June with 4 roommate's. I was very hesitant about this move for many different reasons. The last thing I wanted was to hop into a DeLorean like in Back to the Future, and land back in college.
Not that college wasn't an important time, but I lived through that once and did not want to go through it again. The 1am pizza orders and playing video games til 3am days were over. Other hesitations include the house. You have not seen a bachelor pad until you have seen this place. It is big enough for 5 adults (especially when one lives in a closet) but I don't see myself buying it anytime soon. But it works for now.
But overall experience has been better than I ever imagined. We have become more than roommate's. In a way we are a family. We meet every Monday night for cleaning and prayer. We get personal, we complain about life, we keep each other accountable, I never thought when moving here, I would find community like this. It is exactly what I needed. And thank God for this time.

We have our annual Jr. High outreach event this weekend. God always seems to do amazing things in the lives of students at this event. I expect nothing different this weekend. I just pray that students who don't Jesus will find Him and that I can make it all night at my old age.

I am currently listening to David Crowders new CD. It is different to say the least. It has gotten great reviews and is very creative but I'm not loving it. Maybe it will grow on me.

I just ordered Donald Millers new book, "A Million Miles in a Thousand Years."
I heard him speak last year at Fresno Pacific University about the book, and knew right away that it would be incredible. I just didn't know I would have to wait over a year to get it. Now its finally here and cant wait to read it. Ill let you know how it goes.

Fall is finally here. Yesterday it was 97 degrees and right now it is currently 75.
Fall is by far my favorite season. Football, cool weather, the fair, and Disneyland on my birthday. What more could you ask for?

Cowboys won their first game in their new stadium last night on Monday night football.

P90X is kicking my butt. We are on our 17th straight day of working out for an hour a day in our living room. I haven't felt this healthy in years.

Yes, because you are sooo ancient.
