Church

Recently I have been attending Grace Midtown Church and I am very excited by the energy the congregation possesses. I come from a more tradition church background that was tailored toward college students but it doesn't compare to this contemporary service. My old church was around 500+ people per service, contemporary praise music, and a good mix or ages and ethnicities. Being in a college town (Chapel Hill) it attracted a good amount of college students from both UNC and Duke. Now after going to only two services at midtown I will compare the two churches. Midtown is filled with youth and joy for the lord. A large portion of the congregation (only about 100+ at a time) are young newly born again Christians. The passion that they give to the lord is amazing and is causing my eyes to be opened even more to the lord. I am very excited about this new opportunity to grow in the lord in a new city with new people. I do miss my old church and all of the relationships being left

Football

So tonight I went out with another AM from Theta Xi to a Buford football game.  They are the reigning state champs for the last three years and are still a great team this year.  While watching the linebackers just smash guys I was thinking about "Back in my day".  Just one year ago I was that guy out on the field smashing heads and enjoying the heck out of life.  Now time has moved on and I miss the memories of Northwood Football.  I miss the long days of sweat and sometimes throw-up that we as players endured for the common goal of winning football games.  I miss the brothers I grew to rely on while working as a team to play a very complex and deep game called football.  Some think that big, strong, fast people with little intelligence are the best at football.  Its truly the smart players who succeed on the field because reaction time and quick thinking wins games.  I miss the crowed after a big touchdown.  I also miss the tears after losing my final high school football
