"Therefore receive one another, just as Christ also received us, to the glory of God."

~Romans 15:7

aka: He died . . .

. . . so we love.

because He first loved us.

The Amazing Pizza Machine

So sorry to get behind people, but did you know that college is extremely BUSY?! Who would've thought, right? I'm even pushing aside some homework now to finally get these little snapshots up for you to feast your eyes upon.

I really must get back to my homework, but here are a couple (literally) of pictures from last Saturday night's activity. The school went to The Amazing Pizza Machine with an all you can eat buffet of pizza, pasta, salad, pizza doughnuts, ice cream, tacos, and stir fry. Each student got a little card which they could swipe to play some of the arcade games like table hockey and bumper cars. It was a grand time!

So. Much. Pizza.

 Dance, Dance Revolution, first time ever! We had fun. 

Lately

Lately I've been missing the ocean; more specifically, swimming in it. To combat this sadness, one of my friends and I have been swimming laps in the pool here at school. It really isn't the same as the ocean (obviously), but we have lots of fun.

I was looking through some pictures from this summer and found this one my pops took while Kerri was visiting. Kerri getting certified in Hawaii= best summer ever!

But for now, the pool will do.

Vespers: Happy Sabbath!

Project Impact

Union College's 32nd Project Impact, the longest running mass community service project of its kind in the nation, rocked today! In 91 degrees, over 80 locations were serviced by about 750 volunteers. We get a day off of class, and no one is required to go to Project Impact— it's all up to you to go. How cool is that?

We started off with breakfast under the Clocktower at 8:00 in the morning. Bananas, bagels, and donuts were, well, all over. As people came in, they choose a group from the many leaders standing with signs and  get their t-shirts, the design of which is a contest and one of the best kept secrets at Union. Before today, only a handful of people know the shirt design and color. It's pretty exciting to get there and see what color you get to add to your Project Impact collection.

Once the welcome, group picture, and prayer are over, groups head out to their respective sites. My site today was a huge elementary school. Our task— weeding, mixing compost, cleaning trash, and reading to the kids. At about 12:30 we packed up and headed back to Union for a massive pizza feed. I don't even want to know how much it costs to feed 750 tired and hungry volunteers, but we had leftovers!! All in all, a fantastic day, and a niiiiiice break from homework.

Happy Birthday!

Happy Sabbath

Gotta love Ephesians:

"God has made us what we are. In Christ Jesus, God made us to do good works, which God planned in advance for us to live our lives doing."  Ephesians 2:10 NCV

Go do what God made you to do, and be amazing at it for him!
