"no one's intended to die with their heart still intact"

i've been a bad blogger. let's catch up on the time betwixt now and my last post.

-obviously tops on the list is, school has begun. my last real first day of school of my life. first day of my senior year of college. what the crap!?! that sounds so crazy and weird. i've been having so many moments where i think '3 or 4 years ago doesn't seem like that long ago to me... but i feel so old at times. where will i be in another 3 or 4 years?' and the fact that i have NO good answer for that question excites me so much.

-political science might be the most boring major with the most boring professors at auburn. i already skipped a class yesterday!

-i was worried about how burger night would coincide with encounter being on thursday nights, but it went off basically without a hitch this past thursday. encounter was a little overwhelming with all the new little freshmen running around and the smaller venue, but i needed it. been a while since i really experienced the Lord.

-last night i was blessed enough to make a trip to atlanta with my good buddy jeff (i would love to add a link to his blog on his name, but he doesn't have one yet. get on that, jeff... we've talked about this). jeff and i met some really awesome new friends from UGA for a concert at georgia tech featuring jon mclaughlin. it was incredible. it's really humbling to see someone sit down at the piano and do the things he does. i'm part jealous, part angry that i didn't get that gift (to that extent), and part amazed that the Lord gives us the gifts that He does, and at how diverse they are. it was a great night of music, food, drinks, good conversation, and good fun. thanks friends.

that's my week in a nutshell. this coming week will see the beginning of college football, fantasy football, more boring classes, and hopefully some increased patience (and persistence) on my part in a certain situation. and i'm finishing a book today that i've been reading for 4 months. i'll post about that ASAP. thanks for reading. comments welcome.
