WEll it is on today! Arizona Wildcats ranked #19 are at home against the North Carolina Tarheels ranked #4.
Well I am sure that you have already heard the terrible news, but if you have not then let me tell you what is going on.
Week 2.
Well this picture best sums up what I have been feeling like the past two days. The temperature has not been warm, but it has been warmer than 15 degrees! I am so excited to see spring this year. There are so many things I look forward to. I can't wait to mow the yard, plant some flowers and give our less than a year old lawn some food! I am really wanting to go camping at least 2 times this year... thats a plan Rob! Anyways, I never really was a fisher, but I would like to start doing it a bit more so when the boy is older I have some idea of what kind of bait to use. Just after saying the word "bait" a movie automatically popped up in my head... I will quote the line and you tell me what movie it goes with. I am actually laughing right now and I am having a hard time typing because my mind is so weird that everything I hear or say is in some way attached to a movie, but anyways here it goes
Old man says, "Are there any dam questions"?
Other man says, "Yeah where can I get some dam bait"? Now I am not one to swear and if you have seen this movie then you will realize that I am not swearing, but simply ... well let me know what the anwser is and you will win a prize! There's one for ya philly...
Ok let me feel you in on how Synergy went last night. Freaking Awesome! We had a great turnout. In fact we had 5 more new people that have never attend our group before, one of which was from Sac Town (Sacramento) and then another girl that came once last year early on came again last night and I think will be continuing to come. We were still missing a bunch of our regulars, but that is to be expected, because it sometimes takes a week or two for students to get back into the swing of things. I thank you for your prayers. I spoke on Eleazar and the battle he had a Pas Dammim which was the same place where David fought Goliath. If you want to read about the story a bit it is in 2 Samuel Chapter 23:9-10. The lesson went very well. As I stepped out of the way God and the Holy Spirit took control. Those nights are the best ones. Well we also pray every Thursday morning at 7am on campus. I encouraged everyone there last night to come to the first one because during the year there is like five or six of us so it will be cool to see what the turnout is. Well thank you again for your prayers. I am off to read the Word! God Bless!
Synergy - the total effect of a group working together is greater than the sum of the individual effort.
Jan. 16th 2007 @ 7pm - 1st meeting of our group "Synergy" at Boise State in 2007. I am speaking tomorrow, and I am pumped too see what God has in store for us this semester. As some of you probably know we officially combined two groups on campus which then became three groups on campus. The three churches recognized are Broadway Baptist, Eagle Christian, and Calvary Chapel of Boise. I am going to be speaking about Eleazar. I am really inspired by his warrior, and fearless mentality. It is a great story of how his sword and him become one. While spending the time really tearing this verse apart I can't help but be lifted, and almost get a cold chill down my spine. As we embark on this new semester, I ask for your continued prayers. As our group continues to grow, and if this semester is like last semester many new footsteps will continue to be drawn to the Lord and His Word. My prayer is that this semester we will see God take what we all learned last semester and grow upon it and put the words we hear and speak of into action. Let the generations that are upcoming be Godly leaders and mentors. I pray that we would begin to see a presence of our Lord in pockets around the campus. And as the pockets begin to penetrate what satan has placed his name and claim on that we will be able to wash away any imprint that he has on this campus with Christ's annointing blood. I love college students and I am truly blessed to be a small part in a battle that seems larger than life. We are on a very liberal campus! There was a boy that was jumped by another on campus one night last semester, and come to find out that the boy who was jumped was gay. Now I think it is terrible that this boy was jumped and I pray that this certain boy who claims to be gay would some day come to know the Lord. However since he was gay, there was a huge rally that was put on by I believe the students and the elected Student Body Members to make a statement that they think he should be treated equally as a straight would, and that he was only jumped because he was gay. Well I know of many people that were jumped in my day and all of them were straight, and I don't ever recall a huge rally of about a thousand students about the situation then, but for some reason or another there is one for this gay male. Well I pray that one day some students will rally and hold a rally about not teaching both evolution and about creation etc. I know this might seem a bit bold, but you understand what we are up against. My motto however is what it has always been... "kill them with kindness" it is hard for people not to like you or too down right hate you when you treat them like Christ would.
Well this is a question that I think most dog owners will ponder on. They say that dogs are man's best friend. Well I would have to agree with that phrase. I mean no matter how angry you get with them, maybe forget to give them there food one morning when you were late for work or maybe have failed to just take some time out of your week to run them at the park or nearby field etc,. there tails keep a waggin. I think that most of us could learn alot from our canine friends. They truly love unconditionaly. They only ask for a small token of your time, and without fail they love you and get so excited to see you. I think it is hillarious how my three dogs will start talking to me when I walk out to the kennel in our garage to let the dogs out. They just want to be loved by you and want to please you in any way they can. However on the flip side, they are also the most expensive friend I have ever had. I don't recall ever having to bail a friend out of jail... well not yet anyways! My brother in-law Jake told me one time that the cheapest thing about a dog especially a hunting dog is the amount of money you spend to purchase him or her. Well let me just say this... "point taken." My most recent pup "Husker" my english pointer got out of the backyard by climbing the fence. Well he did not turn up at all the entire day, so the next day I went to the pound and had to bail him out. To make things worse, I guess he got into a nearby yard where some folks had some chickens and you do the math. I later in the week went to appologize and try to offer to buy some chickens for the lady, but she said that there was not need because the rooster that he ate was a family pet of 7 years. I almost started laughing inside. My crazy dog is just so full of energy! Let me put it this way. Husker makes coffee extremely nervous. 
Well what can I say? It has been four days since it all went down. The first pic is the view we had from our seats. I have to send out a shout to my boy Jarett for getting us such great tics! The pic doesn't really do the seats justice. The action was closer than it appears. I am just glad that I made the trip and that my wife let me go. Thanks to all of you who gave me money for Christmas to make this life changing experience happen. It is great when something comes along and touches all of our lives at the same time. It was interesting to find out that every single person that I spoke with about the game said the same thing. "It made me feel like I was 12 all over again!" I have to agree with the congregation. It is something I will never forget as long as I live and to think that this could be one of the best games ever played in the history of college football. One quick not I just heard today that our Offensive cordinator Coach Harsin just turned down
the offensive cordinator job that was offered to him by new Alabama Head Coach "Coach Saban". Wow that is crazy to think that he turned down a position like that in Alabama to stay at Boise State.
