Tonight in Risk, Seth attacked me in a huge battle and I defeated 10 armies of his in a row - I don't think I have ever done that before.

Harris, Dave and I left town an hour after I got off work on Thursday, returning home this morning in time for me to be at work an hour late - during that time we drove across three states (Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia), spent the night with three very dear families (Blevins, Fulmers, Pritchetts) and drove 950 miles - what a weekend.

Other than learning I have to shell out 135 worhless USDs to repair my car, I had a pretty good day - including washing my car, which was filthy from camp!

Cap-and-trade for carbon emissions is a damnable invention - when you get down to it, it just serves as another source of citizens'-throat-strangling income for the fed - damnable.

What's worse than jamming your finger at Camp? - Not even have the opportunity to, because you can't be there!!!!

Essentially finished the hymn and recorded me singing it in four parts (click here to listen) so as to give some idea of what a group of voices will do to it - the words are by Isaac Watts as follows:
My God, the spring of all my joys,
The life of my delights,
The glory of my brightest days,
And comfort of my nights.
In darkest shades if he appear
My dawning is begun;
He is my soul's sweet morning star,
And he my rising sun.
The op’ning heav’ns around me shine
With beams of sacred bliss,
While Jesus shows his heart is mine,
And whispers I am his.
My soul would leave this heavy clay
At that transporting word,
Run up with joy the shining way,
T’ embrace my dearest Lord.
Fearless of hell and ghastly death,
I’d break through ev’ry foe;
The wings of love, and arms of faith
Should bear me conqu’ror through.
My God, the spring of all my joys,
The life of my delights,
The glory of my brightest days,
And comfort of my nights.
In darkest shades if he appear
My dawning is begun;
He is my soul's sweet morning star,
And he my rising sun.
The op’ning heav’ns around me shine

And whispers I am his.

To cap off a splendid weekend (in which, for one, I had no anticipation of going back to school when over) We enjoyed the preaching of my first-cousin-once-removed Elder Phillip Green - speaking of elder, it just coccured to me how funny it would be if someone's first name was "Elder" and he got ordained...
Saturday, May 9
Congratulations Seth and Rebekah for completing your bachelor's degree and for a splendid celebration party last night!

My first 8-hour day at ACH since last summer and my mp3 player had the guts to quit on me - however, it was nothing compared to the wonderful fact that I read 120 pages in John Adams, which puts me at 170/651.

Sometimes God, in His mercy, extends an expression of his everlasting love and grants his children the refreshing experience of living a Very Happy Day and today He granted such to moi for which I am ever so grateful.

Bro. Zack's sermon on the Word of God enthused me, and Bro. Tony Martin's ordination to the office of deacon was super.

WOW - this morning I completed a half-marathon in Jackson, TN and had a blast doing it - read more about it on my running blog; we also performed the wonderful work of Joseph Haydn - my last Singers concert - and it was a smashing success!
Friday, April 17
This has been a day of resting my legs for the race in the morning, and rehearsing Haydn's Creation tonight in prep for the concert tomorrow night.

I can really see the light at the end of the semester tunnel now that tonight's presentation is over.

The sickies caught up with me today about lunch time so I have been sitting around watching the Masters, listening to music, thinking about doing some homework but being pretty sure I am not up to the job, and generally not feeling great - so I think I will go to bed early tonight.
Saturday, April 11
Study at school for few hours, play basketball, help Tim with his Toyota's "better than everyone else" oil filter, read Elijah not one but TWO Dr. Seuss books (Green Eggs and Ham, Dr. Seuss's ABCs), eat Taco Bell, study at school for a few hours, look at some sweet pics take by Bro. Jodie Wyle, listen to the future Bluegrass Album of the Year...

Yard work, Choir, basketball, Buffalo Wild Wings, Movie, Sleep, Dream of the congregation singing Sacred Harp at GC - that was an amazing song service.
Thursday, April 9
I got back two scores today - 94 on my persuasive speech; 78 on global logistics test, but it turned into a 90 mysteriously, so I am a very happy camper right now.
Wednesday, April 8
Pastor Guess was at church tonight - by far the highlight of the day - and although he looked like he had been awake for 30 hours (which he had), he was in tip top spirits and we were all so very glad to see him home.
Tuesday, April 7
Internet at our house has not been for close to a week now and while it is inconvenient on occasion, I fancy it quite well for a moderate duration of time - only because, no doubt, I can go to the church building or the Guesses or school, if I really must access the world wide web.
Monday, April 6
Many wonderful things happened today including receiving the news that I almost surely can work full-time at ACH Food Companies this summer (huge answer to pray), running 9 miles (and feeling very confident about the half-marathon in two weekends), feeling about 90% good about my bus comm test, and buying Roy's birthday present which I gave to him tonight (a big "architectural wonders of the world"-type book.)
Sunday, April 5
Bro Tim Cannon preached this morning: "Behold the Lamb of God" and it was really really excellent; then Bro Tim Guess rounded out the day tonight with a sermon on infant/believers baptism.
Saturday, April 4
Michael had the guys over to watch the Final Four and grilled a whoppin good dinner including chicken, potatoes, supported with fruit, fried okra, and ice cream!

I took the day off from school and did other things. Starting Saturday, hopefully, I will begin preparations for the coming happenings in the next week and especially the next.
Thursday, April 2
We enjoyed a terrific rain storm today, and I was outside when the sun broke through, and boy, it was like an out-of-focus picture becoming pristinely in-focus, with rich colours galore - I am inclined to believe its presence was glorifying to God.
Wednesday, April 1
Today has felt busy, because, while I have actually contributed very little to the progress of any assignments, I have done the important thing of getting my schedule of deadlines, due dates, and all those type things worked out in my mind as far as when I need to work on what - and that is extremely important for me to have cleared up in my mind.
Tuesday, March 31
Having been questioned on two separate occasions today each by a Fulmer girl as to the howity of my day, I am very rehearsed in the contemplation thereof, so can with ease inform you, dear reader, that I, while enduring some affecting trials of my closest friends, have completed a useful day in that I finished Mansfield Park, mowed the church yard, ripped through yet another amazing speech in oral comm, spent more money since sunrise than I did all last week, updated the bracket challenge, and synced my calendars (which you no doubt know is extremely relieving).
Monday, March 30
My last game with the Brethren played out tonight in a 9-point loss, though we played very well, and with the support of my team mates I scored 30 of the team's 50 points, knocking down 6 threes and shooting 2-2 from the charity stripe - a good way to go out.
Sunday, March 29
The Lord richly blessed this day in which Grace Chapel received a powerful message about the Holy Spirit from Elder Isaac Guess, and God blessed me in some prayer time.
Saturday, March 28
Some great games of basketball accompanied by the now rare appearance of Isaac Guess, a muy bien choir concert tonight at which both my grandparents were present, which, being a very rare occasion, was especially treatfull, and afterwards enjoying some grilled foods at Joes and watching The Fugitive, made for a very pleasant day.

I took a very deep 30 minute nap today and I don't think I moved an inch - I haven't done that in a looong time.
Tuesday, March 24
Today has been a day of getting significant things done like...running four miles, weed-eating and mowing the yard, reading a good portion in Mansfield Park, purchasing tickets with Seth and Dan for the South Regional games here in Memphis (it will be so much fun!!!), relishing in a tasty Fuzzy Navel/Cherry flavored Jerry's Sno Cone, and reminding myself that I need to complete my taxes.
Sunday, March 22
Song services today were wonderful and so was the eating/fellowship gathering at the Guesses tonight, because Sister Judy's South of the Border is out of this world mmm mmm good!

Introduction
This blog is not for comprehensive purposes. It is merely an exercise in writing. My sentence will describe the highlight of the day (or one of them) from my perspective. It could be glad, sad, rad or bad. The good thing is that I have read a lot of Miss Austen, so I am well versed in the art of long sentences. Just in case :-). I will begin on March 1.
