Huge Refrigerators

Loredo, Texas, was good to me this weekend.
I went with our Baptist Student Ministry to work with a group of kids from FBC Lordeo. We worked through some material on sexual purity from a program called True Love Waits. It was a great opportunity to work with some teenage guys and inform them about [...]

HPU Wins National Championship

Yep, Jackie’s school Howard Payne University won the Division III Women’s Basketball National Championship today! Way to go Yellow Jackets! Needless to say, Jackie was happy, as was I for her, but I wasn’t really in the mood to watch basketball today…at all. Originally I thought Jackie and I were just going to hang out [...]

Got a Wild Hair Today

I love getting them, cause they always have a fun result. So tonight I was hanging out in my room after work, did a few pages of reading for my American Lit. class, and then did some good reading in God’s Word. It was great; a real encouragement for sure. My friend Doug might be [...]

Short Praising

Following up my Short Ranting with some praises that I’ve had this week so far.
So it is Spring Break here at UTSA, and I’ve been here by myself in the room so I’ve had some time to fill lately. My goal was to make it to the gym this week and get used to it [...]

Short Ranting

Well, I am working my first weekend as I type this. Each office assistant is required to work 2 Saturdays out of the semester, and this is one of mine. I’m working with my friend Islam…well sorta. See, we’re supposed to work from 9am-2pm. I got here at 8:57, called the RA on call to [...]

Pain in the Offering

There is a song we sing at our weekly Bible studies called “Blessed Be Your Name,” and recently it has convicted me of how I live. There is a line in the song that says:

“Blessed be Your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there’s pain in the offering
Blessed be Your name”

 The part “though there’s pain [...]

She’s Left to Africa, and My Heart Goes with Her.


Jackie leaves tomorrow to head off to Africa for a week, and I miss her already. I got to hang out with her yesterday for a few hours and again today for a couple more, but now I must go an entire week without her. :/
I know I’ll be fine and what not, cause I [...]

I’m so Lucky

I really am. I have, what I think to be, the best girlfriend ever. Period.
She came in to town today, making her first long solo trip from Brownwood to San Antonio, and she did so successfully. What a gal. We went to Dave and Busters tonight to eat some dinner, cause Jackie thinks their food [...]

A predicament I am in…(as Yoda would say)

So I have this strong desire to read a book right now, but I also have a couple things going against me.

My roommate is already asleep, so lighting can be an issue

2. I want to wake up early enough to eat breakfast before class which means like 7:30.
What to do…what to do…
Maybe I should invest [...]

Every Man’s Battle

So one of my favorite things to do is go to a Hasting’s, Half-Price Books, Barnes & Nobles, or any other book store and just meander the aisles looking from title to title, section to section just to see what is out there and on the shelf. Occasionally I go with a purpose to [...]
