Not much has changed since i last posted on here, except we had homecoming here at acu. It was a very tiring weekend, ill just say that. And, i only hope you were lucky enough to see our parade float, which was a truck bed filled with hose water and bubbles and six guys in it. Needless to say, it was a little chilly. But it was in incredible amount of fun. I am excited about going home this weekend, to go see the Little Mavs and to hang out with people bakc home. I also plan on doing early voting, straight ticket Republican of course. I'm actually going to try and post a few more times this week, cause I feel like doing so. Much love, everyone. Hope everyone is watching the World Series, its history in the making.

what a place
Been awhile since i've posted on here, its tough becuase I've been so busy lately. Well this weekend I went to the Dallas Christian retreat, it was on Friday. Basically we just hung out with these seventh-graders and taught them a few lessons that weren't very difficult at all. It was a lot fo fun. Afterwards, all of us went out to eat. So then we had the rest of the weekend to ourselves. We decided to stay at Heath's house n Southlake, and it was an incredibly fun weekend. Me, Jesse, Blake, Gilly, Ryan, Brooke and Julianne all stayed at heath's house. Lets just say there wasn;t a whole lot of sleeping going on. Friday night we went to Hangman's, the haunted house in downtown Fort Worth. Even though its really not that scary, it's stilla ton of fun. Saturday we went to the fair, which has become an annual tradition for me i guess.
I just want to say that I am so incredibly glad I am going to ACU. I cannot belive how many good friendships I have already developed here, everyone bonds so incredibly well. I love just hanging out with all of the people here, we are all so different yet we get along so well. This week we are all helping to build the freshmen float for the homecoming parade, so that will be a lot of fun. I encourage anyone who is thinking of transferring to consider ACU. I know it sounds hokey, but it will change your life in so many awesome ways.
Well I am gonna go get ready for class, and later tonight we have a flag football game. Ill try to post again in a few days. Peace and God bless

stuff
Finally got a chance to write in here, I had to pull myself away from Tiger Woods 2005, which is like video game crack. Im really excited, because this weekend I am going back to the Metroplex to help at the Dallas Christian retreat, I will be working with a bunch of seventh graders on Friday. On Saturday, a bunch of people are going to the State Fair. I love the fair, I try to go every year.
On another topic, I realized the other night how lucky I am in some ways to be living in a dorm like this. Two nights ago we all watched as somebody had their head completely shaved for $15 dollars. And its so cool here because living in this dorm I have added like 15 new friends in the span of a few weeks. Friends who I really like, and who I think will be friends for the next few years. Maybe I'm wrong, but I don't think living arrangements at public universities offer the same kind of fellowship. Iv'e come to appreciate curfew because everyone is here at night, getting to know each other. Well I am gonna go to my business lab, have a good week everyone. At some point I want to post my take on the upcoming election and stuff.

Been awhile
Ok so its been awhile since i've updated this, so I have lots to say.
First, a quick sports point: I hate the Yankees, clear and simple. They are the Evil Empire. Either you hate the Yankees, or you have no soul. But I absolutely love Derek Jeter. He is probably my favorite non-Ranger in the entire league. Nobody gives their all, and comes up in the clutch plays like him. He is a gamer. If I had to start a team from scratch, he's the one guy I would pick first.
Ok well, on to other stuff. I am going home this weekend, back to the Hills. I am looking forward to seeing my family again, cause I really miss them. I think on Friday I am going to try and go to the Birdville football game, and also go see Friday Night Lights. Saturday I am going to watch Texas/OU and hopefully go to the Mavericks Blue/White scrimmage at TCU. Should be a great, sports filled weekend.
So lately I have been giving a lot of thought to my future career. What will I be? It's kinda scary because you don't want to end up doing something you ahte, and that sucks because you have to make a comittment with your major and stuff. Often I think about doing something like teaching and coaching, something that would give me lots of free time and I would have fun doing it. But something tells me God wants me to do something truly great and ambitious. Thats why I want to go to Law School. I really want the challenge, and it suits my personality. I don't really know why I am writing about all of this, if only becasue maybe it will let yall into a little bit of my life. Well I hope everyone has a great week, and stays safe. I'll write again in a few days.

This weekend
So this weekend like 30 of us went to Heath's lake house on Eagle Mountain Lake. It was one for the most fun weekends I have ever had. It was so great to meet and hang out with so many awesome people. I feel so blessed to go to the school I do, and to be with the people there. It was cool because all 30 or so of us got along so incredibly well. And it's always fun introducing people to the greatness that is Fort Worth. I really miss F-Dub when I am in Abilene, because it has the entertainment options of a big city, yet also a small-town feel to it.
On a completely different note, I learned today that a former Birdville student and a person many of my friends loved died in a car accident. From what I knew of him, James Harris was a really good guy, and it sucks when something like this happens. But this tragedy really got me thinking as well. Sometimes you hear about people who choose not to believe in God because of all the hurt and the pain in the world, and how a soul could possibly inflict such suffering on people. But my view is that a person's belief in God should only be strengthens by the pain of the world. If there was no God, why on Earth would any of us put up with the sicknesses that plague the world? What would be the point of it all? God puts these things in our lives to make us realize how much we need him, and how much he wants us to be close to him. Through tragedy we should help strengthen one another's beliefs, and help people realize that even though it may seem like he is nowhere in sight, God is always there.
