Maybe Spring... But not so much a break.

Today marks the last day of classes before spring break and it's a pretty full day with class, large group devotions, choir tour practice and a huge test in my 3 hour night class but at 10:00 PM ET I am done class for a week! YEA!! ahem...

This is the thing though, although the first day of spring is during the break and I have been able to wear shorts a few times so far, it doesn't really look like spring outside. In fact it snowed last night. This I can deal with, I know I know, complain to the clouds if you want to but it won't change the weather. I'll wear shorts when it's 2 degrees out, so no big concerns on that end.

The break is what brings me to my breaking point... see what I did there? Nevermind. You see, it is in actuality no break at all. It is instead timed to work 11 hours a day catching up on school work without pestky class getting in the way. I have set for myself the noble goal of getting everything done over the break but although I am confident in my ability to get lots done, everything is a bit of a stretch. I have 11 things left on the list and over half of them are for one class which is my top priority.


Anyways, pray for me that I don't lose my mind, and break me off a piece of that Kit-Kat Bar!

I Don't Know What To Say... Ode to Jose

10 years ago I watched the first two periods of a Montreal Detroit game where Mario Tremblay, the idiot, made an example of my long time hero Patrick Roy. The next day we traded the first round pick to Colorado. I couldn't believe it, it was the worst ever. Ten years later, my new hero, Jose Theodore, has just been traded to, of all places, Colorado. I don't know what to say.

Theo has had a tough year adjusting to the new pads, but still showed signs of brilliance. The former heart and vezna trophy winner has fallen on some tough luck lately with stupid drug tests and his family being in the news and finally falling down the stair and breaking his heal. He is still a great goalie and I can't believe we traded him.

He came into his stardom in 2002 when Jeff Hackette hurt his back. The young back up came in and took a regular season team almost to an Eastern conference final before another stupid coach blew it.

Theo is an amazing goalie and I wish him all the best in Colorado.

Good luck buddy!!

Profile

Ok, the entire reason for this post is a profile pic. I know all you new bloggers have profile pics and think, "Wow Dan, what are you stupid or something? Can't put a blog profie pic up?" And to them I say, "Shut up!" It was harder when I stared blogging and now I can't just up and fix it! I remember back in my day when we had to download a program to post pictures and we used to have to use bullitin boards to post posts! And when the word blog was slang for a paper journal! Why back in my day we... nevermind, here is my picture -------->
Hey look its up there too! Sigh.

Ever Wonder Why?

Remember that show Wonder Why? You know, that jerk with the glasses who would get on your nerves at 7:00 in the morning when all you really wanted to do was watch Inspector Gadget? Sure you do. Well maybe he has a point because I think with a lot of things we really do wonder why. I know I do.

For example: I ordered some books on amazon.com recently, three copies of G.K. Chesterton's Orthordoxy, a book I am sure both readers of this blog are dying to read. I made my order on February 1st. Just to clear the air a little bit, I did not buy three copies of this book because I have desperately wanted to read it and put the other 2 copies up on my mantel... I don't even have a mantel! I ordered them for myself and two classmates who are all in the same Christian Literature course at MCC. Getting to the wonder why part, why does it take 8 weeks to ship 3 books? Yes Mr. Host of Wonder Why, why are my books not coming till the end of March? If someone knows, feel free to comment and tell me! Especially if you are the host of that show, who's name alludes me at the moment. Anyway, I am wondering why.

There are a lot of things that make me wonder, like how a God who created the heavens and the earth could know me, love me and genuinely be concerned about my life. I scarce can take in when I find myself deep in wonder over the hugeness of God and his love for his rebellious child. Love so great that even while I still rejected him, he commanded his love toward me and allowed his Son to die in my place. Wow... really makes you wonder.
