He Exists!

This morning I was walking down the hallway of the main building when I heard a door behind me close. I turned around and...lo and behold...there stood RC Sproul. I think he just came out of the bathroom, and he was by himself, walking my way! At first I only waved, but then for some reason I froze dead in my tracks and turned around. This was my one shot at meeting the man, nay, legend. So I walked toward him...he walked toward me. We intersected. "So nice to meet you...appreciate your ministry..." Handshake. He actually talked to me man. With a friendly smile and joyful demeanor he said..."could you please find me some toilet paper?" No, not really. He said nice to meet you, but with said demeanor.

Order Up

Friday night I joined (upon invite) Erik and his hall for dinner at Sticky Fingers. It was tasty. Later Erik, Dan, and two other guys I didn't know went to see Batman. It was a good movie, but really a one time view. Interestingly, as we drove down there was a police blockade near school. They told us they were checking driver's licenses, which they did. Me thinks they were looking for something or someone, but maybe they were just that bored.

I am staying very, very busy with school.

I have really started to enjoy the music of the Irish Tenors. I have actually found a classical genre I like.

Lord willing, I will return to Springfield in 3 weeks.

Today I read, went to Wal Mart, did laundry, cleaned the very gross and dirty bathroom, and went running.

We have this Wed off for a day of prayer. They have various prayer sessions throughout the day, but you are not obligated to attend any. I will certainly try to participate in some. Matt's b-day is that day as well, so maybe we will think up something for him.

That's all for now.

9/11

Well great, I just wrote a considerable post and lost it thanks to Covenant's great internet security system. Remember kids, log in every 2 minutes for extra special security!

I thought it would be interesting to hear from everyone their memories from 9/11/01/. Where were you, what were you thinking, etc..

I was only 2 or 3 weeks in to my first year at Kickapoo. I was in my first block gym class. We went across the streets to the Gilenwaters tennis complex when the announcement came over the PA. However, our hard of hearing gym prof thought the message had to do with students leaving their lunch trays in the courtyard. Only after we came inside did we discover the truth. We watched the events on tv until second block. That was when the principal decided that school would not be dismisssed early, and that we should all go back to schoolwork. I'm still not happy about that decision. I don't remember fully comprehending what was happening, I just knew it was big. The day went on about as usual, with the exception of wondering what was happening and why we were not getting to know. Life in Springfield never seemed to change much after 9/11. Security didn't really seem to tighten up, and life seemed to stay the same. Obviously in the broader sense things were changing and have changed.

Last night Makoto (my roommate) and I watched a first hand video account of 9/11 recorded by two brothers who were with the fire dept during the entire event. They were inside the towers as the events unfolded. You may remember it from tv a few years ago. It is still hard to comprehend.

Well...

Due to popular demand, the blog is back. Everything here is dandy. I have way too much reading to do. I enjoy my classes, especially Apologetics with Dr. Krabbendam, who is a campus legend. Very important class; very benificial. I also enjoy Cultural Heritage of the West with Dr. Dennison. We have been looking at worldviews. Very interesting; very challenging. We talked about responding to the culture in light of our relationship to Christ. Very interesting/important. History of China/Japan-very good-outstanding prof. Civil War-fun-small class. So busy. Much to do.
