Time for a change

I thought it was time to change the face of my blog. I was looking at other people's blogs, and they had all this neat stuff on it. They had pictures, sound-clips, quotes, etc., and mine was pretty basic. I decided to give it a new look. Make it more me. For the 5 or 10 people that read this blog, I think you will like the change. I'll add more on to it as the time goes by. Not just post-wise, but also with pictures and quotes. It will be fun!

P.S. I found an old post that never got published. It's called, "Miracle in the Andes." It is a book review I wrote this past July. Check it out!

What am I up to?

I am doing lots of different things this semester. I'll start with what I am actually doing, and then things that I really need to be doing.

I am on the Student Leadership Team at the Baptist Collegiate Ministries here at Middle Tennessee State University (Or if you want the short version, I am part of the SLT at the BCM here at MTSU). I am co-leading a Freshman Bible Study with Jessica Riley. It's a lot of fun. I'm finding that it is becomming more of a collaboration with each other rather than a, "I'm here to teach you and you're here to listen" kind of thing. I'm actually learning a lot from both sides. It's great. I'm also leading a 7th Grade Guys Lifegroup at Brentwood Baptist Church. It's going a lot better. We're going through the "7 minutes with Jesus book." Basically, I'm going to go 12 more weeks talking about characteristics of Jesus. We just did "God in the Flesh" last week.

For school, I need to start studying and get some of my work done! I'm doing well with the stuff that's due, but the problem is my teachers gave me a bunch of work and said, "It's due at the end of the semester." That's not really good for me. It's harder for me to work that way than if a teacher gave me specific deadlines on when to have this section due, etc. I'm also thinking of getting a minor in Geography. It's 18 hours of Geography credits, and I believe I already have three of those. That means, I could knock this out in a semester. It also means I would have an extra semester of school. Money would be an issue, but I could work or figure out ways to save money. I'm not really sure. We'll see what happens when it comes around.

Well I need to head back to class. I'm going to a Fall Focus this weekend and my roommate Michael is getting Married! Bunches of stuff going on. I hope you all have a great rest of the day!
