STORM
"Are you sure you got heart?" : Hebrews 6:13-20
i would type out the sermon, which i took notes on, but i'm too tired. maybe later, for those who want it. all i can say is, WOW, can this man preach. it is almost enough to make my small eyes bulge from the folds of skin that entrap it. almost.

bible study afterwards. i taught the girls. i like that they opened up and shared. they were focused, which they sometimes have trouble with. (are you reading this, guys? see, i noticed and appreciate it!) it was actually serious and deep! wow. i was amazed. God is AMAZING. i hope it is carved into their hearts and that they dwell upons such thoughts throughout the week.

lunch with rejoice and junior. they make me want to have kids.


5:00 service

praise was awesome. i can't say it enough: i don't feel like i belong there, but MAN. i love being a part of this worship team. JeeH sang a special praise song, tremble. (in Bartok's (the bat from Anastasia) voice:) WOW. i tell you what, WOW. the song was awesome.

sermon on, "Overcoming Apathy" : Luke 10:25-37

after service: a BOMB dropped on me. i don't know how to deal with this one. out of nowhere. POW.

good? bad? isn't so easily put into a category. could be awesome/amazing. could be the straw that would break my back. i am happy/excited, scared/in dread. sad/happy/sad/sad. .

i've never had such upheavals in my life as in the past year.

i REALLY don't know how to deal with this one. i can only pray. God, i have no idea on this one. You have to show me a clear path.

wanted to meet up with amy, boms and friends after service, but alas, there were too many problems, and it wasn't going to happen. boo. i haven't seen either since chicago, and it would have been good to meet with them.

jason and i won the foosball tourney. a moment of silence for the foosball table at 1400 HH that first gave me my meager skills.
*silence*
we're a great team, work really well together.

went to dinner to celeb carol's b-day (belated. b-day was last wk). lots and lots of ppl from RCC came. so many in fact, that not everyone was gonna fit. dave and i decided to wish carol happy b-day and went to play ball. dan hwang, baller legend of amazing skills and some of dave's friends were to join that night. i haven't played for what, months? i feel like i haven't been faithful to my love. i shall make amends!

played the best ball of recent memory. jumpers, crossovers, hard drives to the right, slashing in the paint into the big guys. man, come to think of it, i don't know if i EVER played this way. i played with no fear, and attacked, attacked, attacked, even the big guys. my team of four guys won 6 games in a row. we were clicking like clockwork. i was maintaining a running commentary of my play, cracking jokes, the whole bit. made a lot of steals, got boards, hit some game winners. when i released the ball, i felt that it was good, EVERY time. i was on a HIGH.

on our seventh game, one dude made it a personal mission to wear me out. and he did. he's already hard to guard, but he pulled a move that made both calf muscles cramp simultaneously. i played several games more after that. won some, lost some. gained more and more cramps along the way. both thighs, hamstrings, calves, etc. after a while, just difficult to run. i called it a night.
