Since my trip to Minnesota, I've gotten in the groove of school. No class has captivated me more than "Romans" with Dr. Peterman (though "Systematic Theology 2" with Dr. Zuber comes in a close perspective). We're learning different interpretations to Romans and it's stretching my brain as I try to understand how to dialogue about the different theologies out there. What can we take away from them? What should we leave behind. What is God trying to SAY?! I want to be faithful to the Word. Let me have ears to hear the truth. Last weekend I went on Senior Retreat. What a blast! Basically, Moody planned to have NOTHING planned for Senior Retreat. We were dropped off at this resort-like camp and given freedom for 2 whole days. We were not responsible for going to any sessions (though they were there for us should we choose to take part), and we could stay out and sleep in as late as we wanted. We were right on the lake with lots of back woods trails to explore. There was canoing and beach volleyball and lookout towers over the lake. I read on the banks of Green lake and caught up with some friends. I also partook in several pranks at retreat between the guys and girls. A group of us went for a walk the first night and found a seagulls head on the side of the road (I know, random). So we brought it back to the lodge (Brianna was the brave one who picked it up between two leaves) and gave it annonymously to the room next door to mine (a group of girls). During the second night, Justin, Russ, Zi, and I hid along the backwood trails and scared people as they took walks. Wow, we had fun. After this, I returned to reality and school. On Thursday the Men's choir had their summer tour chapel and I felt that it went really well. It was really fun to put it together. We sang "Christ Is Made the Sure Foundation", "Mick Mcguire", "For the Longest Time", and "The Lord's My Shepherd." Justin's slideshow/video was a major hit. I'm so proud of our group. They are a great group of guys. Today, we are going on our fall social. 5 hours at a park cooking ribs and chicken and playing football and frisbee. What more could you want? PS - This is me at the new "ING cafe". It's a online bank that has a location close to Moody. Free wireless and free drinks on Friday if you wear orange. SCORE!
