Robitussin!

In preparation for the winter and spring... I bought two boxes of Rubitussin at Albertsons earlier in the night. I was just walking through the store on my way to the checkout stand, and there it was... a cart full of Rubitussin drugs on sale for $3 a box (regular price $10.99). It was a bargain, I got two boxes even though I'm not sick. I got a few colds last year in Eugene, so just taking it as precautionary... Thinking of going back again to grab some more if they got any.

On the side note, I'm starting up a Bible study for Epic on Tuesday at 5pm. I'm hoping to start up a few of them. Once I get this one up and going and have someone take over, I'm hoping to have someone else come in and lead so I can start up other stuff.

Following Faith Through Love

"Unlike so many, we do not peddle the word of God for profit. On the contrary, in Christ we speak before God with sincerity, like men sent from God" (2 Corinthians 3:17). "For Christ love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died. And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again" (2 Corinthians 4:14-15). "...the only thing that counts is faith expressing itself through love" (Galatians 5:6).

First Week!

I'm currently sitting in the Seattle Metro Campus Crusade Office at a desk. I am glazing out at the window watching cars drive by, and just felt the urge to update my blog. After thinking through that I did complete some work today, I thought it would be appropriate.

So the first week of school has come and gone, and boy, what a busy week it was. Throughout the beginning of the week we were all preparing things to get this fall term up and going and a lot of it was for Thursday.

Thursday was our big day. We had the student club fair during the day, where you would have a sea of students running around trying to figure out what's going on campus at the same time getting free goodies to take home. That lasted from morning to the afternoon.

Later on that day we had our first Epic meeting. Unfortunately we weren't able to reserve a room, which is something that is taking awhile as we're trying to figure out how things work on campus (the HUB, which is the building that all the student clubs meet at is shut down for renovations, and they are disbursing the resources and stuff throughout the campus. It was quite interesting as we had our first meeting in the middle of a dorm lobby. We ended finding a section with a bunch of couches and settled there.

The meeting ended up turning out well. We kept our first meeting simple, just trying to get to know people and sharing about what we're going after this year.

We're still in need of figuring how we're going to be tackling on this year. I'm currently in the process of getting to know the students and trying to establish a leadership team. We really want students who really understand our vision and has a desire to see it happen to be challenged and empowered to lead.

So if you could, please pray that I have discernment/wisdom as I meet with students to figure out who is called to leading in the next couple of weeks.

In the meantime, hope all of you are enjoying your day. It is 5:19pm, I didn't bring my laptop charger and my battery is about to run out. I think it's a good time to pack it up and call it a day.
