Back In the LTSG

For those of you who missed the LL Cool J reference with the last post, I should have remembered the next line, "I don't think so." So after two abortive attempts to head back on New Year's Day and the Day Everybody Goes Back to Work and Does Nothing Day (C) , I finally got back to The LTS on Thursday.

Had dinner with one of my classmates who stayed on campus all break (such a brave trooper) and realized that JTerm is going to be a bit of a ghost town with people on multicultural trips all over the world. But, it's nice to be here.

Now I just have to study for the two quizzes I have for my first classes on Monday.





BTW, it's been out a while, but I recommend the Beatles "Love" CD. It is a number of Beatles songs remixed for a Cirque du Solai performance in Vegas. While Revolution is my favorite track, this song fit the post's title better.

BTW2, my favorite non-denominational church had a great Advent series (even if they called it their Christmas series - you can do that if you're non-denominational) called Let It Be Christmas. Last year, their Christmas series was based on U2 songs. Check out Granger Community Church and (if it is still up) watch their Christmas Eve service (Let It Be). WOW! That was their 6th SOLD OUT service for Christmas Eve.

Glad you made it back to God's country from the Mitten. Someone actually stayed over the whole break?

Coach - this will surprise you. Are you sitting down? Granger Community Church is not non-denominational. We are United Methodist. It's true. Think about that for awhile--it'll mess with you :)

WOW!

One of my absolutely-gotta-read blog heroes read my blog and commented!

Cross off have day made on my list of things to do.

Tim, your church ROCKS! If I could keep snowstorms from hitting between my hometown & Granger, I'd love to attend one of the Christmas Eve services.

Oh Yeah, Football

Quick Random Football Notes The BCS should be abolished. The OSU deserves to be in the title game, but making a case for LSU, Oklahoma or USC is very easy. I hate the ESPN whiners saying how tough a playoff would be. I think the sweater vest can use the extra resources at The OSU in a playoff a little better than he did at Youngstown State where he won 3 National Titles in 1AA. If division 3 non-scholarship teams can play a 16 game tournament, so can the megabucks schools. Michigan will be better off for not having Les Miles. Why Brian Kelly is not on any list amazes me. I'd love to see GoBlue call the sweater vest and offer a blank check. The Pats beat the Ravens to stay undefeated. The Ravens whine about "phantom calls." Mugging isn't a phantom crime. Losing your composure isn't a phantom crime. Having an "offensive genius" run an offense that has held back an all-time defense isn't a phantom crime. Billick is the only person in the NFL who need

Lutheran Carnival LV

Prepare Ye is proud to host the 55th Lutheran Carnival . As I'm preparing to pack up and move to Gettysburg to enter the Seminary there, I thought I'd volunteer to host the carnival and delay packing up the computer for one more weekend. Please ignore the mess, the assorted boxes and bubble wrap just laying around and enjoy the submissions. (Oh, if you carry any boxes - be sure to lift with your legs!) The posts are listed in submission order: The Tour Marm presents I Saw a Man Walk on the Moon , a touching look back on her memories and relationship with her stepfather. Write to right presents 3 Easy Steps On How To Create A Productive Life , an enlightening essay on how to do what's truly important. I wish I would have seen the "Strip Out the Useless" advice before I started packing! The Pistol Packin' Presbytera presents National Ice Cream Day: Passing On Family Traditions , a post which links the past and present as she describes family and friends

And Music Still On MTV

"1985" by Bowling for Soup A quick tale of woe from a second-career seminarian. I don't know how the conversation got started, (I blame Law & Gospel ) but I got in a conversation with some of my class mates who are pipeliners. The discussion was about embarassing clothing. I grew up in the 70's & 80's, the two decades that provided the most opportunities for fashion crimes. If you were ever at the height of fashion coolness in those decades, you do NOT want to show anyone those photos now. One of my classmates (bless her heart) said, "I didn't even go to school in the 80's." I honestly have clothes here with me that are older than many of my classmates. I'll take my arthritic knees and kneel to pray before I go to bed. Hopefully I can get up. I know my experience will pay off sometime soon, but how long must I wait O Lord?
