“It is Finished” Sort of.

The FDR paper is done, sort of. It is in dire need of revision, but at the moment, it is finished.

Leslie’s birthday has come and gone. Made food. The fire department only came once. That wasn’t my fault!

Makin’ Music has nearly come and soon will be gone. Hallelujah.

It’s nice to have some completion every now and then! :-)

Addiction

My name is Matthew, and I’m a Curveball and Gold Miner aholic.

Goodbye, FHU’s Rose

Today, my last chapel skip went bye-bye. :-( It was a good skip. It’s a tragedy. He was so young, so well loved.

A Great Day to Be Alive

Today is a wonderful day. Good weather. Good friends. Good LORD.

Good grief! What else do you need? Why are you sitting here reading this–go enjoy life!

What are the odds?

Our friends seem to have forgotten me! Vote Hiatt for Pope in ’05!

Crazy Schedule

Someone teach me time management. Please?

It’s crazy. My friends just spent like 25 hours doing practice for Makin’ Music. I have a major paper due on Wednesday, and we’re going to try to paint the baptistery. This weekend, I’m supposed to be in Nashville for a church planning retreat and at Freed to help plan the cast party. On Tuesday, another paper and presentation is due. Door knocking starts on Saturday, incidentally, the same day as the Crieve Hall lecture series. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday of that week are the open Bible study nights. Sunday marks the beginning of the gospel meeting. I preach on Wednesday. The next weekend is XBX Banquet and the CH Spring Retreat. Aaaaand the next weekend is XBX Goat Roast and a wedding to film as well as immediately preceding finals week. Then, two weeks at home, 24 days in transit and at New Zealand. Two full days back in the States and then Louisiana. If I take it, my online summer English Lit class begins somewhere around here. One week back at work, then Summer Series and Camp on that Saturday for a week. Then, time to breathe. But until then…

I hate Daylight Savings Time. But at least it is light until late! :-) Have a great day!

Party, anyone?

Well with all the joy in the world-Terri Shiavo calling it quits, the Pope knock-knock-knockin on heaven’s door, and the ever-terrible Spring Forward weekend of Daylight Savings Time, it’s time for a partay!

So welcome, Jimmy, Tim, James, and now Leeper! Wooo hooo!

Buffalo Wild Wings

Directions to BWW, anyone?

How many ways?

Our dear friends at Google had a little too much time on their hands and too much English major in their systems.

I’m curious how wrongly spelled a word could be spelled and still be considered a search for the same term. Not like I care…

Did you know that USB drives on keychains can be slammed in doors and their covers can come off and you can just plug a memory chip on a USB end directly into a port? Whoever invented Super Glue deserves to go in the same hallowed hall of fame as the benevolent mastermind of Duct Tape.

Yay!

I have enough funding pledged to go to New Zealand! Thank you everyone for your generosity and prayers and stuff… The trip is May 30th-June 22nd. I’ll be sure to keep you updated…if and only if you read this wonderful, not-so-interseting site!
