Michigan's basketball team just beat UCLA!!!!!!

The people who read this probably won't care, but

i'm pretty excited because UCLA was ranked #4 in

the country. We've been bad for a long time, so

hopefully this can be a start to a good year!!!!

Just heard a song about the back seat of a greyhound bus. That's gonna be me a week from today. I'll be on my way to see my "long lost" relatives in Louisville. I haven't seen you guys in forever!!!!!!! Then on Thursday, i'll be on the bus back to Flint for something like 14 hours. We must have a lot of stops in between. Anyways, can't wait to visit with Ben, Kelly, and Owen, and then visit with all at home.

I am talking to my friend Phil and blogging, i am supposed to be writing a paper that is due on monday. But my attention span for homework is very short right now. Just rode a bike my roommate found in the trash to the Shell station. It was a hard ride though, because the back tire doesn't hold air. I was very disappointed though, because they didn't have fountain pop. It is the weekend, so i could actually drink it, but they didn't have it. O well! I gotta get back to work.
C ya in 2 weeks or less!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Isaiah 1:18b "...Though your sins are like scarlet, they shall be as white as snow;

Psalm 119:89-90 89- Your word, O Lord, is eternal; it stands firm in the heavens.
90- Your faithfulness continues through all generations; you
established the earth, and it endures.

I think it is fitting for the day after a somewhat disappointing election.

Psalm 106,107:1 O give thanks unto the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth forever.

I Timothy 2:1-3 1- I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession, and
thanksgiving be made for everyone- 2- for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. 3- This is good, and pleases God our Savior.

Psalm 86:7-10

7- In the day of my trouble I will call upon thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. 8- Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord; neither are there any works like unto thy works. 9- All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship before thee, O Lord; and shall glorify thy name. 10- For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone.

Hey! I'm pretty excited. I thought i wasn't gonna be able to vote, because you have to be present when registering to vote for the first time in Michigan. Obviously, being in Wisconsin kind of stops that from happening. However, they announced in Chapel, that you could still register and to vote here in Watertown. So today I waited in line for about a half hour, registered to vote, and then filled out my ballot early. I Voted for the 2 women of the Wisconsin Green Party. HaHa. No, voted for the McCain-Palin ticket. Then just filled in for the republican congressman (men), cant remember. I didn't vote for any of the local garbage cuz i don't know who they are. Anyways, just thought i would tell you my exciting story. I feel old now that i get to vote for the first time!

Psalm 36:5 Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens, your faithfulness to the skies.







my apologies to Mr. Obama for any false reports i might have passed on.
Is apologies spelled right, cuz it looks weird? Spell check said it was ok.

Psalm 12:6 - And the words of the Lord are flawless, like silver refined in a furnace of clay,
purified seven times.

from notes on bottom of page: when we feel as though sincerity and truth have nearly gone out of existence, we have one hope- the Word of God. His words are perfect, so listen carefully when he speaks to your through his Word.

This post is for Casey and Ben! and somewhat Sarah. I have a lifelong fitness class at school and we just got done playing floor hockey. You guys remember those good times in the old church building's basement? We used to play every week, that was when Casey had only one child and Ben didn't have anybody LOL. I probably hadn't played more than one time since we moved our church building. I used to laugh because I though Casey was crazy for playing in jeans. He was always proud of his double layered shins so he could slide on the floor and not wear a hole in his jeans. Then there was Ben, who took it more serious than him? Wonder if they still have those spackled 4x8 sheets on the wall still. Anyways, just funny thinking about the good times we had.

I gonna try to start posting a key verse from the passage i've read for that day:

Psalm 4:3 - Know that the Lord has set apart the godly for himself; the Lord will hear when i call to him.

The red is just the part that stuck out to me.

Hey just realized I was in Wisconsin tonight. Walking to check my mailbox tonight, there was another gentlemen in front of me. He was wearing a camouflage jacket and when a group of geese started to fly over he turned around and started calling to them. Never seen that one before! No offence to anyone who wears camouflage or calls geese.

I finally got to see the latest video of Owen. He has grown a lot since this picture of him in his bed. C ya at Christmas "Big Guy".

I'm so thankful that it is finally the weekend. It was kind of a long day today. I went to bed last night about 2 and got up at 6:15 to study some more. I had a test at 7:20 in Developmental Pyschology, at 8:20 in Abstract Algebra ( very difficult class), and at 11:20 in Old Testament Survey. I'm not sure how the last two went. In Dev Psych I got about an 85 which makes sense because i've gotten a 82 and 84 on the other two tests. I need a good grade on the Algebra class because i got a 65 on the first one. I wouldn't be taking the class, but it is the last class i need for my math minor. Well its 12:15am here in Wisc, 1:15 back home. Everyone have a good weekend!!

I had to go with 3 of my classmates to a local farm today. All four of us are going in to Elementary Education, so the purpose of the trip was to design a field trip. We have to make out a schedule of activities throughout the day (my job) and a permission slip to send home to the parents. It really was a nice place. For $6 you get to do a craft, listen to the story the new story the farm writes every year, and pick a pumpkin. You also can walk around the farm to look at the amazing flowers (i've never seen bigger) and at the animals that they have. Anyways, the main reason i'm writing this is because i am currently enjoying the caramel apple that i bought there, its delicious. I hope all of you enjoy your fall traditions whatever they may be!!!!!!!!!

Looks like another trip to Applebee's to watch Michigan vs. Illinois. Some Pepsi and some chips and queso is already sounding tasty. Well good luck Wolverine fans, and enjoy the game. For Kelly, down there in Louisville, it is currently 34 degrees here in Watertown. Enjoy the warm weather. Go Blue!
