Baby Mama...


I highly recommend seeing the new flick Baby Mama. It was very well written and very well casted. O ya, it takes place entirely in Philadelph- ia, ya that's right. Pennsylva- nia. Home of of America. And pretty much everything awesome. Anyway. Baby Mama. Soon I'll have one. When I say soon I mean hopefully years from now she will be. I'm getting married in 89 days. It's quite crazy. We have got so much planning to do it's absolutely ridiculous. I'm so excited to be married. Me and Ashley have been on this crazy adventure for almost 5 years now. It's quite amazing to see how God has brought us together and intertwined our lives together to fulfill his will. I'm not saying it wasn't hard at times. But our life together as one has yet to even begin and I cannot wait for everything he has in store for us. Please pray for us over the next few months as were finishing up this (what seems like forever) chapter in our lives, and begin this great next adventure of marriage. Thanks to everyone who's also been there for us. You guys mean so much to us. I pray that God blesses you with someone incredible and so good looking (had to throw that in there) as he has me.

Preaching...

Have you ever preached a sermon? It can be a pretty nerve racking experience. I take a class called homiletics. It's basically how to preach. Everyone in the class had to prepare a 10 minute sermon and deliver it, and then be critiqued on it. I got a 97. I feel a lot better now that it's over. It's nice to know how to preach now.

Trollys...

Thats Zach. He's a friend of mine here at school. Yesterday 5 of us went down to the west village to ride the trolly around and do some fun things. Zach bought a crossword to do on the trolly which was interesting. Then Zach went to work so me, Ash, Juddson, and Taylor went to Borders to check out the sidewalk sale. I bought John Stewarts book on American politics. Then we went to the mall to do some shopping. Bought Ashley a nice shirt then we went on home.

who will stand?


That's North Korea. A small little strip of land on a tiny little peninsula in Asia. Do you see how dark it is compared to South Korea just below, and Japan and China to the East and North. North Korea is run by a dictator named Kim_Jong-il, a madman who is obsessed with Hennessey Cognac. He is an avid film buff, with a collection of 20,000 films, and has over 7,000 Mercedes' Benz. This country is absolutely in dire turmoil, and they have a nut running it. I have a friend here who is raising support and awareness. His grandfather was a wealthy businessman who left everything in North Korea and fled to the south at the beginning of the Korean War. The people of this country make an average of $900 a year. There is no way out for North Koreans. They have to suffer this regime everyday, while we in America sit back and worry about what terrorist attack is next. We need to stop worrying about specific situations and look at the world. Who else will stand up for these people? I'm sick of Americans standing up for whats trendy, Africa(Darfur), South America, Thailand. Not saying the people in those country's don't need our help too, but people will start organizations in specific country's just to show how hip they are. Will we not find where the people that need the most help are? Why are we willing to take a stand for some but not all? "If the people of North Korea are just a Korean problem, were the Jews just a German problem?"

Spoken Word, Sirens, and Taco Bell, O' My....

So last night 6 guys (including myself) piled into a car and attempted to go to Buffalo Wild Wings to grab some 40 cent wings. Well It just so happened to be super packed. We eventually couldn't stand the wait anymore, and drove the complete opposite direction all the way back past campus. The Bishop Arts District in north Oak Cliff is where we decided to land, maybe to grab a bite and suffice our stomach's. But to all dismay all restaurants were closed except if you wanted to sit at the bar. The only thing open was a small little cafe, which also was doing some African American spoken word poetry. Intense, ya I know. Ended up staying long enough to hear a poem about sex, and a young teacher not teaching for the money, but sheerly for the affect she's having on her pupils. After the cafe we ventured to another seemed to be restaurant down the street, but again just another bar filled with wannabe uptown hipsters. When all hope was lost, we finally found a Sonic. Pull into the parking lot, "O, wait, I think that guy is signaling their closed." Daniel honks his horn and makes a left in the middle lane of traffic. End up getting pulled over by a couple of cops asking us what we're doing and why we have so many people. While sitting there a mustang slowly creeps by, and I'm like "Ya, pull us over, that guy has to be drunk, they should go bust him." Cop's let us go. They end up pulling that guy over a half mile down the road. We end up going to a Taco Bell a mile from campus, and retire to the dorm to finish out are quest to find a Friday night feast.
