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!!

Everyone should speak Hebrew!
I decided that today in my class. Hebrew is such a beautiful language and it captures all the elements of God in such awesome words. Words that are deeper than anything I can comprehend. I wish I could explain it.
On a completely different topic...things are going well in life. I got to talk to some people in the last week that I haven't talked to in a while. It was nice to hear old friends talking.
I love people. I have always enjoyed being around people but lately there are some that I just love to see everyday. They make me smile and make me happy. They remind me that today is a gift from God and we should love it and make the most of every moment he gives us.
Today I decided there are three things I want to do everyday for the rest of my life:
1. Share my heart with someone through hugging them
2. Really care when I ask someone how they are doing
3. Tell someone they are beautiful, because they are
Praise God for life! Make the most of it!! Be Blessed!!!

Pledging has begun....life is busy....thank Goodness for silence and solitude.
Here's a random question... What is the reputation Christianity has and why do you think Christianity has this reputation it does?
Be Blessed!!!

2218...
It was scary today. Our neighborhood walk experience on Sundays has neglected to put fear in my heart until this afternoon. We knocked on Jim's door and were greeted not with the usual "Hi kids" but with shouting and cursing and anger. Jim yelled at us and cursed at us and demanded we get off his property. It was scary. Our place of refuge was Ms. Maggies. She comforted us and prayed with us about Jim and Nancy and let us in on a little bit of Jim's life. We didn't know...
After taking time to pray together Kevin and I continued walking the street and ended the afternoon playing in the street with a bunch of kids and some new neighbors. It turned out great but Jim is still on our hearts. Pray for him...
Be Blessed!!!

What to do..
When you don't know what to do...pray!
God,
Bless the people in New Orleans. It's not fair that they are stuck, their mothers, brothers, grandparents and babies are dying while we all sit here and watch. Lord, move our feet, convict our hearts to serve these dying people in ways that you provide. Get them out of there God. They need help!
Amen
Be Blessed!!!

Russell Street: Back
We walked today. God granted Divine Appointments for Kevin and I today. Praise him for that. I am looking forward to getting to know the new friends that we made today. Please pray for Jim and Tina and David.
The Covenant Ceremony at school was awesome tonight. I can't really explain it but I wish everyone could have been there. God is doing great things around here!
Have a super Monday and Be Blessed!!!
