That's wassup.

Alright party people, we've got a plethora of things to go over in this wonderful post. I'm almost as excited to write it as I am for you to read it! Hope you're ready...

1.) So I'm sitting at my favorite Caribou, here in wonderful and cozy Grandview with two of my very good friends Tiara and Dusty. Some of you may know these kind souls. Well currently Dusty is attempting to teach Tiara how to play Chess. A fascinating game of strategy and seemingly unpredictable outcomes but almost always resulting in a loss for me when I am playing. However when the pre-lim lesson seemed over, I asked Dusty as to whether or not Tiara was ready. She laughed; he responded with one of the greatest lines ever: "It doesn't matter if it's Albert Einstein teaching, if he's teaching Helen Keller. That's wassup." 

Fact.

2.) This weekend we have Deer Creek at Great Wolf Lodge Weekend. With our new elongated title I feel like we should be sponsored by some company. Like my favorite bowl game of the year, the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. Deer-Creek-at-Great-Wolf-Lodge-Young-Life-Buckeye-Region-Leader-Weekend-Sponsored-by-Temperpedic-Matresses-and-PokerAllStars.net. Yeah, that sounds good. 

Either way, it's always a fantastic weekend of worship, amazing teaching (by none other than world the world famous Steve Gardner, who I'm pretty sure I'm gonna see on the next "G" commercial, whatever the crap that is, although can we also talk about how amazing of a marketing campaign it is? I can't wait to see what they are talking about!) and there is also of course the incredible fellowship and catching up with friends from other places. (including a significant amount of time to be spent with Mambo #5...) If you can't tell, I'm super duper excited for this time of usual expected growth. I'm sure I'll have all sorts of thoughts to throw your way when it's all said and done. 

3.) God wants us to depend on him. For everything. For life, for breath, for sustenance, for everything. This is really freaking ridiculously hard, if you haven't noticed yet. For many months money has been a struggle for me, and continues to be. Now I'm finally working a bunch and making good money, but still feel the pressure that I'm not working enough, that I don't have enough money, and that I am constantly going to be behind the 8-ball when it comes to finances. However, I must take comfort and solace in Matthew 6, that I am much more valuable than the birds of the air and they don't reap or sow. 

So there you go for a whole collection of ridiculously random thoughts. Take them in, chew them up, digest them, poop them out. Let me know what you think.
