My poor brain is too tired to write a coherent post on anything of importance right now, so please enjoy these weird bits of rambling from my brain…
Winter Retreat
This is our biggest winter event, by far. This will also be the first event I have ever planned, sort of on my own, as a staff member at Ridgecrest. AGH. Sure I've helped planned parts of events in the past and done things like help with Check-In, but never have I ever planned a whole event.
For like, 90 students.
As much planning and reserving and buying as there is to do, I'm really, really excited for this event.
I'm also ready for it to be here, because I'm impatient like that.
Postseason Baseball
The only color I see during the month of October is red.
Cardinal red, to be exact.
My house is a house divided in the sense that while I cheer on God's team (the Cardinals), my father is a diehard KC Royals fan. I'm excited for Royals fans to get a taste of October. Hopefully they'll be back again sooner than 29 years…
HOCKEY
I realize I may seem a little sports-obssesed, and that's because I am.
While baseball is exciting and all, hockey is almost here!
The Blues first regular season game is Thursday, and you already know it's going to be like
Super Bowl Sunday in my house. Cheese dip, chips, cookies…
Along that note, I'm so stoked to be headed to Scottrade on November 1st to see the Blues face the Rangers. This is also my birthday, so I'm expecting a win, boys.
High School Football
No, I'm not going to talk about every single sport in this post. However, this one is important. There's a not-so-friendly rivalry between two towns here in SWMO. The Nixa Eagles and the Ozark Tigers play in the Backyard Brawl each year for bragging rights…and also to raise money for charity. As a member and former student (for a year) at Nixa, I was more than pleased when the Eagles STOMPED the Tigers in a 38-0 game on Friday night. I forgot how much I love a good rivalry (when we win).
Crowder & ASAD
I got the chance to see the very first night of the Neon Steeple tour here in Springfield a week ago. David Crowder, along with All Sons And Daughters, brought the house down with worship.
Seriously it was the best show I've ever been to, hands down.
Check out their music if you want your socks blown off.
Sleep
I need more of this. Extra innings baseball games are interfering with this. This is good.
I'll be back next week with hopefully a more spiritually insightful post, but no promises.
Have a great week, and GO CARDS!
