Spring Break!

Posts this week may be more infrequent than usual because I'm on Spring Break!!!
I'll be working on my tan from the exotic sunny shores of Michigan.

I'm must be really dumb. Rather than going to Florida, Texas or Mexico and evangelizing the heathens there, (Hey, Christ went where the sin was) I'm spending the week in 20* Michigan.

LTSG doesn't do spring break over Holy Week? Does that mean you have to attend classes during Holy Week?

Hey Brian...thought you'd be interested in this message I sent to another VT friend (Visit Trinity '07) tonight...

The seminary circuit is over...and I have to say...Eastern Cluster (LTSG/LTSS) right now has surpassed Covenant (Wartburg and TLS) Cluster...and I think I have a good idea why...well I have multiple theories but the main one is that Project Connect has attributed a large part of it...but between the two, then things get a little more tangled...and that's kinda a problem but it's also a blessing that I know I could be foreseeably content at either...

I'm not sure if I had visited Trinity first that my thought would change...I visited Trinity first last year (Feb.) and then Southern in March, BUT there was one key difference on both trips...the scooter...it may seem trivial, but you really do see an entirely different perspective from that angle (even though I was mobile when I needed to be)...

So that being said, it's going to take a monumentally significant difference in FA from either Wartburg or Trinity for them to get out of the "top tier" (that works both ways- either LTSG/LTSS have to do less than I'm thinking they will or WTS/TLS have to do better than expecting, or both).

Just thought you'd be interested in knowing that...

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?
