It has been a few.  I apologize.  I know there were some of you literally suffocating from a lack of knowledge about what is going on in the life of one 23 year old caucasian, male, student ministries pastor in the northwestern part of oklahoma city, oklahoma.  

Meagan and I had an awesome college small group on thursday night.  Our college group is phenomenal.  It was our first time to meet and everyone clicked and we shared stories from 7 until about 11 it was so much fun.  it will keep meagan and I feeling young (cause we are old.  seriously meagan woke up at 9 today and couldn’t go back to sleep…on saturday.  crazy.)

I received a birthday card from kristin thomas.  wow.  i never knew receiving a birthday card (a grandpa card at that) could bring such joy.  I immediately pinned it up on the wall in my office because its my office and I can put whatever I want on the walls (you know within reason.  it is a church.   my Pantera and Metallica posters have to stay at home….haha.  no i don’t really own those posters)!

The children’s pastor at the church I work at has family that lives in houston so we have been praying and glued to the weather reports about the town.  Such an odd thought to think of a place so big in such peril, but maybe it will wash away some of their terrible football playing and help out their team!  I mean look at what happened to the New Orleans Hornets (ok they was in poor taste sorry).

Meagan and I went to our first Seeworth Academy Football game.  It was funny because they were playing a team I used to cheer for because it had students from my first youth group in it.  So it was interesting and quite a study of the human spirit to watch a rather wealthy group of students (mostly white) play football against a Seeworth team that has one white player.  It was a lineup like the gridiron gang.  Watching these students from different sets and gangs work together and not yell at each other when things got bad but rather play harder was an amazing thing.  They were down 28 to 8 at half and were able to keep the score at 28-14 for the end of the game AND they had touchdowns called back for holding which was really sad!  It was cool to meet a lot of the people meagan works with though, I feel safer knowing they really do take care of her.  And seriously they had their security guy there with a gun on his hip so if anything went down it was getting old west style on the field.

well enough stories.  i hope you are all doing well. 

peace to you
