Holy Roman Green and Hallelujahs

Last night was Mass. It was a different experience and was definitely awkward most of the time. Jonathan and I did our best to blend in but lack of knowledge about the recited things and the chants and the procedure and just the whole service in general gave us away. We met some nice people afterwards and I went looking around the sanctuary BY MYSELF I found it interesting the way things were set up and the artwork and such on the walls. I will go into more depth in my paper but I just wanted to let everyone know how it went. Although Jonathan and I stood out I am gonna go out on a limb and say that I was a little more in than Jonathan because I had on the Holy Roman Color- Green!

This morning we went to the Morning Star Community Church. It was the polar opposite of Mass. We went from scripted chanting to free verse hallelujahs. I loved it. The praise and worship was amazing and the sermon was not too bad either. I definitely felt more at home today than I did last night but it was still different than what I am use to.

2 churches down and one to go. Next on the list is a non-Christian church so if any of you Abilenians know of one we can go to let me know!

I hope everyone has had an awesome day! Be Blessed!!!

Church Hopping

My Christian Worship class requires me to attend 3 different types of worship services. Tonight Jonathan and I will be going to a Catholic Mass and tomorrow morning we will attend a different service- the church is currently undecided. I am really excited about it. I have never really been to a service that is so very different from the normal one I attend. I look forward to reflecting on my experience.

Other than that things really have just been scooting along. I am honored to be chosen as Alpha kai Omega's 2006 Sing Song director. Hillary Hoover is the assistant director. I am looking forward to working with Hillary and being able to serve club in this way.

Thanksgiving is in less than a month! Yes!!!

Have a great day and Be Blessed!!!

Long lost blogger returns!

First things first! HAPPY BIRTHDAY POPS!!! I love you!

Now, some people forget about the blogging world. I do not want to fall into that category. While some of you have already given up hope, I would like you to know that I have, in one night, regained my life and will no doubt be blogging more often.

Pledging is over. Praise God for the beautiful women he has put in my life these last few weeks and the relationships that will undoubtedly grow from being in club. I am glad it is over though. I am tired, weary and sick on top of that, but pledging is over.

School is rapidly moving. Halfway through the semester, mid-terms behind me, I now have about 6 weeks to soak in as much knowledge as I can before I embark on my last semester of school. I am excited. I don't know what God has in store for me upon graduation but I am praying and am anxiously awaiting for the call.

The Astros blew it last night. I think they might win in Game 7 but I really don't know.

I have been blessed this semester with some great things. Besides all the new friends I have made in club, I have also made some new friends through people. Kirby, Reid, Paul, Brooke and Tom are among the few that I now encounter on a daily basis. I can't even begin to describe these people in a way that you would understand, they are too diverse. I can, however, tell you that they all love the Lord and will do great things for the kingdom.

God is good! So good! Praise him!

Be Blessed!!
