P.S.

I generally don't have conspiracy theories...really, I'm not one of THOSE people....


I'm done now...check out the new site!!

Spies

For the record, it took me four tries to get that post up....I'm telling you, they've got spies!

NEW BLOG

It's official! I am moving my blog to a new site HERE

It's still under construction in some aspects, but you'll get the general idea! Check it out and let me know what you think!


P.S. I think blogspot has secret spies that keep people from switching blogs...the first time I tried to post this I was blocked somehow....we'll see how this attempt goes!

Life Since Mt. Unpleasant

Well, Sunday we will be conducting a trial run of our house church. I am pretty excited about that! Scott and Catie are sitting at the other end of the table from me. Scott is helping Catie write a blog of her own and it is very funny to watch from this angle! Seriously, I wish I had my camera! I am considering changing my blog to a different site because it looks waaaay cooler! If I do, I will post a link so that all of my loyal readers ;) can follow along with my incredibly exciting life! If you can't tell already, I really can't think of anything to write about...not too much inspiration on this end...mostly just wanted to let everyone know that I am still alive...

Mt. Not-So-Pleasant

Wednesday night a couple of my friends and I decided that it would be a good idea to go climb Mt. Pleasant. No problem, we've done it before. However, this time when we got to the top of the mountain, Scott's car started leaking radiator fluid...that's very bad. Knowing that were going to have problems no matter what, we decided to go ahead and climb and deal with the car when we got back. We got back to the car at about 10:00pm and proceeded to add water to the radiator in order to increase our chances of survival...it ran straight back out the bottom. So we did the most logical thing...coasted down the mountain with the car in neutral and the ignition off. We finally reached a town where there was a 24 hour gas station and we were able to get cell phone reception. We called another one of our friends who was kind enough to come and pick us up. We didn't get back until about 3am...it was ridiculous. This weekend has been pretty sweet. I came down to North Carolina with the same friends that I was stuck on the mountain with. We have been attending Worshipfest and it has been an absolutely incredible experience! I can't wait to see how God is going to be working in the very near future! We are currently under a Tropical Storm Warning here, apparently tropical storm Gertrude (or whatever it's called) is heading straight for us...but we are praying that it will turn so we can go play on the water tomorrow. That's all for now! Peace out!

Routine

I am still trying to get a basic routine down for this whole blogging thing. Anyway, here's a little of what has been going on since I've been back.

The other night, some of my friends and I had an incredible time of prayer that was completely guided by the Spirit. It was an amazing time of fellowship. We began praying for my roommate's dad who was preaching in a church the next morning. It progressed from there to praying for eachother as well as other things that we were lead to pray about. It was incredible!

A friend and I are trying to get a house church going. That should be a very interesting experience and I am very much looking forward to see how God is going to use that.

I still need to come up with a new name for my blog...

So far I have survived about two weeks of school. Just 12 more to go and then Christmas break! One of my classes was switched to an online format, which makes me very happy, but there is a lot of work to be done still! I am working with the organization that I was with this summer in order to put together a manual for future interns to Germany. Hopefully I will be able to make a trip back to Augsburg very very soon! That's all I have for now. I hope that you haven't given up on reading this blog. Hopefully I will have more interesting things to talk about!

Lynchburg and an Update

It has been a while since I have done anything on here...everything is in English and it throws me off...Things have been really crazy, so to catch everyone up I will give you just a few topics...some more important than others, but in no particular order.

1. Germany rocked my face off. I can't wait to go back! There are some pretty exciting opportunities that will be coming up in the near future. I will write more on that as things become more solidified...

2. I am back in Lynchburg and preparing to start class on Tuesday...mixed emotions on that.

3. My best friend (Jeff Hill) was married yesterday...it was a long time coming, but they finally tied the knot. Congratulations you guys!

4. VA decided to pass a law allowing police to issue speeding tickets up to $1,050 (I think that was the amount). This makes me sad...not that I speed that fast...it's the prinicple.

5. On a related subject...#4 and todays drive back to school made me miss the Autobahn very, very much!

6. Seeing as how I am no longer in Germany (sniff sniff) I need to come up with a new title...so hopefully that will not be too difficult.

I will try to post at least one blog a week as the semester progresses. If anyone has any questions or anything just email me...I would write my email address here...but I dont know how smart that is...
