Good morning sports-fans. All of you Tarheel fans may consider my loyalty when you read what I'm about to post but trust I'm loyal, devoted, Tarheel Blue through and through.
I was watching the morning addition of Sportscenter, and some college basketball highlights. I noticed how many school's student bodies imitate Duke's Cameron Crazies. I will admit that even my school Carson-Newman tried to play the intimidation card at our basketball games. Any time I see anyone other than the Cameron Crazies doing it I laugh. The sight of the entire student body bobbing up and down and cheering at Duke has to be one of the most unnerving things in all of sports.
This Blog will be my personal monologue of my thoughts feelings and experiences whenever the inspiration strikes feel free to join in on the conversation. Little bit about me, my name is Jared Lucas and I'm a 29 year old graduate of Carson-Newman College. I currently reside in West Columbia, SC with my wife Katie. I am in my last year of my MDIV in Christian Ministry at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, NC.

A Busted Bank
This post is a testament to seminarians everywhere who've ever been down to their last quarters.
I feel that writing about it helps me calm down a little bit more. Thanks goes out to Woods a guy that I'm privileged to call friend. He truly was Christ in a moment when I needed it the most.
A few too many debits coming at the same time have left me with little less than $10.00 to my name. I tell you that first because initially my first thoughts were(who has my account info and who is stealing my money). After digging a little deeper I discovered that all my savings had been transferred to cover all the debits.
Those of you who know me well know that I don't respond well to bad news. I tend to "lose it" but eventually I calm down enough to see reason. It was the words of my friend and his prayer that helped me. I was reminded of the opening lines of the Book of James and took encouragement from that so I will leave you with that hoping that if today or this week has been a struggle for you that you might take comfort or find encouragement just as I did
Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance. Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:2-4(NIV)

Maybe Just Maybe
Now maybe just maybe the SEC will get the respect it deserves as one of the best if not the best Conference in College Football.
It was total domination all night of Ohio St. A team who's average was 410 yards had 84 total yards all night. Just goes to show you the caliber of teams that Ohio St. played this year. It also shows you the caliber of the SEC.
I'm able to say this with no reservation and not feel bad being a UT fan saying it:
GO GATORS WAY TO GO!!!!!!!

Getting Exposure
Well apparently my blog is getting exposure...further than I think it is. As of this writing I've been approached to do a book review. The book is entitled Confessions Of An Amateur Believer by Patty Kirk. May this be the first of many.
This will be my first test of the goal I set for myself for this New Year.

My New Obession for the New Year
Well I have fallen victim to the latest and greatest craze known only as the LOST Phenomenon. Although not a true follower watching from the the shows inception till now. I have managed to catch-up by borrowing Seasons 1 & 2 from a friend. I must say I should have paced myself with watching the Season 3 episodes that are available thus far. I finished them late last week and now have to sit around like some kind of addict going through withdrawl waiting for February 7th to roll around.
A little commentary on LOST: its a shame that Mr. Eko had to die he was by far one of my favorite characters with Locke finishing in a close 2nd.
As for the New Year I didn't really make resolutions more like a goals. That goal being to read more not just online but printed material..."books"....as it were also to become more studious and disciplined when it comes many things but most important my academics.
