Last night, at around 10:30, Nick Sam and I were sitting downstairs wondering what to do on a friday night. this is a rough transcript of what happened:
- me: “hey let’s go to Charleston.” Sam- “YEA” Nick-”heh” Alex-”Me too!”
So we tried to get Sam’s beachhouse people on the phone, but their slackerishness didn’t pick up, [...]
It was 7:30 on a Friday evening, and we just finished eating a wonderful Birthday meal (Sarah is 17, Happy Birthday W00t!). Rachel, my cousin, walks in from her room (she goes to college & stays at our house) and says: “Hey you guys, my window is broken.”
We all walk in there wondering what happened, [...]
That was too epic of a title. Whatever.
I realized last night, that there are some things I’ve done, that I will never do better. For example:
Played the most exciting game of Baseball I will play
I was in 7th grade, playing Varsity Baseball. We were in the third extra inning, one out, runner on third base [...]
I was sitting at my desk, just kinda relaxing, and on my Facebook pops up: “Kurtis Meilink feels worse than absolutely terrible.” Turns out Kurtis had heat exhaustion from being outside refereeing most of the day. Bummer. A few minutes later, Chris, his roommate walks in and says: “We’re going to the ER, let’s go.”
I [...]
Rick Warren, who wrote The Purpose Driven Life said: (paraphrase) “Most people struggle with daily time w/ God because they’ve never developed the habit” and went on to talk about how 40 days is about what it takes to seal a habit.
It occurred to me that I don’t think I’ve ever gone 40 uninterrupted days [...]
In approximately four hours, the universe and I will once again face each other for war. I’m delivering an apologetic defense on the divinity of Jesus for my public speech class; and I’ll be so happy to get it over with and come home to see my brother from college. But this time around, the [...]
I love maps.
Go back and reread that sentence. Maps make me giddy. Zoo, mall, Atlas, doesn’t matter. don’t get me started on Google Earth. It’s not just maps either, but direction too. I really love knowing where we’re going, and every point along the way.
So with that in mind.
I’m 8 or 9. We’re driving in [...]
Last night, as Sam was finishing up her paper on my computer, Msft Word crashed.
To our dismay, Sam had done an entire 8 page paper without saving and was at risk of losing it all. After a nervous laugh and a quick sermon on backing up her documents, Word booted back up and [...]
Last night I was exhausted, and really wanted to get a leg up on my sleep so I could be productive today. I didn’t have to be awake until 9:15 this morning, but chose to prudently go to bed at 12.
At 1:20 the FIRE ALARM goes off. It’s loud even when I’m completely conscious, but waking [...]
This is a semi authentic post detailing Stephen’s greatest fears.
[HT: Becky]
To set this up, I work at Chick-Fil-A, where there are a plethora of boxes strewn about. We store them on shelves, like a lot of people, and I run around the store quite often. I have always been afraid of running past a box, [...]
