An Ironic Twist of THings

Well the University of Tennesse lost the ability to play football well but ironically found the ability to play Basketball I was only able to catch the 2nd half of the game but it was great to see UT Men's team playing like I remember them. Oh and much to my joy and amazement Duke went down by 3 points to Georgetown, only problem was that My Tarheels were unable to pull out a win against Virginia this week

Well a change of pace this next week at work I'll be working a different schedule thats not as physically draining as the one that I've been working. For the past 3 weeks.

I'm so looking foward to Church tomorrow morning b/c the sermon is coming from the book of Amos. My reason for being excited is that I've had the distinct pleasure of translating it from Hebrew so my insight is already at a scholarly level. The book of Amos is a great book of the old testament in English and is even when better read in Hebrew. When compared to the other prophets I would have to consider Amos the "blue collar" prophet because to the flow and snytax of the book.

A Word from the Working Stiff.

Just a quick note before I dash out the door to work I hope everyone is doing well and having a great week so far Hoorah for weekends!!!!

It meant something to say that during college but now that I'm working 5 days out of the whole we it really means something. I guess I've turned a corner in my life and I'm now just a regular working stiff as my parents would say. I'm not destined to be though cause before I know it again I will put my student hat back on and enter into the life of a seminarian.

Hopefully tonight I will have some insightful and inspirational content but for now it was just a little "Hey how are Ya?"

Why Do I Blog

Following suit...being a copy cat....being unoriginal...whatever this is my post on why I blog my blogging started out as a way to let people who I wasn't in present contact with back when I was at Carson Newman know about what was going on in my life and it was as adam put it a life event update. Since then I manage a good theological, philisophical,political minded blog every now and then.

I can also say my blog is an excuse for people not to call me rather than finding out in a instant whats going on they at my bads times will get a glimpse into my life every 3 weeks or so..

My blog's purpose I would say would be a life event forum and when you say it that way it sounds like a boring thing to check out. I would say that I'm showing where I'm at and whats going on this journey called Life. Thankfully I'm not alone in this journey under the Lordship and leadership of Christ I travel this road with him as my guide.

Promotions

I got a promotion as of sorts at work today. The circumstances of the promotion were unfortunate. Shift leader got in trouble for pre-closing the store too much on New Year's Eve, this couple with stuff that had been going on the past couple of months basically sent him over the edge and he felt the time was right to move on today its unfortunate but,nevertheless I'm now the number 2 shift leader and will now be working close to 40 hours a week.

2005 in Review

The hustle and bustle of the Christmas is over and I've finally made it to a point where I can write. 2005 saw many things happen one of the major things was my graduation from Carson-Newman of which I'm very proud. I've held many jobs over this past year working for Fed-Ex and my first experience in the restaurant biz both were good jobs but they ended up being a drag and I dreaded going. Which brings me to most current and present job working for Marble Slab the pay is adequate for right now but overall the atmosphere and the guy I work for is the best part of the job and this is the first job that I can say that I don't dread going to work each day that I have to. Well that's a brief summation of my 2005.

Now its on to 2006 what it has to bring remains to be seen. A few things that lie on the horizon are the beginning of the my school loan repayment of which I'm not looking forward to. Also not too far off and will be here before I know it will be my transition from college graduate to the life of a seminarian. I would ask those of you who read this to be in prayer for me as seminary and my move to North Carolina approach. I've always been a real home-body and something as drastic and as a 8 1/2 to 9 hour move away from home scares me to death at this point. I know God is the Great Provider and will see that I'm taken care of, but of course your prayers on this subject are indeed and greatly welcome.

hope everyone is well and had a great Christmas and best wishes to you all in the New Year.

grace and peace to you all <><
