Well as 2007 winds down here on So. Cal. I got to thinking, what will 2008 bring?
On a purely selfish note, will it bring good health for my family and great spiritual growth for my family and myself. If the Lord decided it was time to come back that would be, in the words of Bill and Ted, "most excellent".
On a more athletic note, if UCLA were to win a national title in basketball and football in 2008 that would be once again "most excellent". Now that we have "Slick Rick" to complement "Big" Ben Howland we might have a chance. After all every time "Slick Rick" takes over a football program they do really well for about 5 years and then the sanctions come. So our football program may have 5 years to do this. As for our basketball team, I do believe we will do it this year with K-Love on the team.
On a more fun note, I hope I will be able to blog more. Also, now that the college group at our church is starting to take off, just seeing the Lord at work with the group will be be something to look forward to. I do pray that the Lord would continue to grow me in my teaching ability and that He would also continue to grow our staff and help us to honor and glorify Him more. It is truly fun for me to watch the Lords hand at work in my life and in those around me.
On a spiritual note, I do pray that I would be more missionally minded and would develop relationships that foster an opportunity to share Christ with them. I also would like our college group to grow in this aspect to. I pray that together we would serve the SCV and the world in a way that brings glory to our Lord and Savior.
Well with that I will now struggle with staying up the next hour and a half until midnight. After that, at 12:01 am on January 1st, it will be off to bed. Good Night and Happy New Years!
My daughter Corrine got her driver's license yesterday. My initial response was to call all my friends in the SCV and to tell them to beware of a White Honda Civic with a 17 yr. old behind the wheel. I wanted them to be a little more cautious as they drove around town. Then my next response was one of the pain in my bank account. Those of you who have teenage drivers understand this financial setback. For those of you who do not have teenage drivers....well.....here is how I would summarize it....OWWWW!!!
After I started to come back to reality I started to realize that I really must be old. I have a child that is driving herself to work and is on her way to college next year. Holy Smokes!! Well what a way to start the new year, with the realization that I am an old guy trying to pretend that I'm not. Enough of me and congrats to my little girl. Squirt you did a good job and I am proud of you. I just know that now more than ever I will have to be a father who lives life on his knees praying for his daughter.
P.S. if that's not bad enough my son Caleb turned 15 today and that means that in one year I could have another teenage driver. Here comes the white hair and the Grecian Formula.
The Beginning of Something New
You know it's been almost 6 months since I stopped delivering papers. You would think that after working two jobs and blogging that I would have time to blog more, right? Wrong! Over the summer I had the opportunity to develop a Sunday School for the college students at my church. Along with that I picked up some added responsibilities at my main job. So before I knew it I had no time to blog. Well because I love blogging so much, I put in my two weeks notice at my old job and got a new one about a mile away from my house. I figure that will give me plenty of time to blog and have fun. Now wi
th all this extra time I plan on having I'm not going back to delivering papers. So for all of you who thought I might be updating you on the rabbits or the crazy things that go on in the wee hours of the morning......think again.
So what am I going to blog about? I don't know. I guess we'll both see as time goes on. Boy I love this. This is like talking to yourself, answering yourself and not being thought of as crazy. Well at least not that I know of.
So out for now!
