Playing Catch-up!

Well I sure am falling behind again…

Thursday I don’t remember much about what I did. It was supposed to be my last day of work, but I didn’t end up on the schedule! I do remember that I went to a really small car show at Mander’s and had some free food and listened to Chad James play some live music. He was pretty good! His left arm is missing just below the elbow, but he tapes a pick (literally) to the stump on his left arm, and plays left-handed. He has a awesome voice, and is an overall great musician. He is even touring with Jeremy Camp at the fair here on August 6^th. Thursday was also the last day of school, so a lot of the bus drivers left.

Yesterday I spent a good amount of time talking to Kimeth. He and I were two of the few guys left here. It was really neat getting to spend that time with him. I also spent a good amount of time packing. I needed another storage tub, so I also made a trip to WAL-MART for that. Sonja, Mindy and I went to watch Jeff perform in the play Little Women at 8pm, and he did a great job! I especially enjoyed the character of Aunt March.

Today I filled in for Stephanie at work. Sonja and I left early and walked down to the farmer’s market by Fox River. It was rather simple, and not very exciting. Work went well, and I got to have a really interesting conversation with a staunch Catholic student about the authority of Scripture, and how it is necessary for the individual to be able to interpret Scripture with the Holy Spirit’s help alone, in order for a person to have a personal relationship with God. Without the ability to interpret Scripture, the individual is unable to understand who God even is, or what He desires of us! If the individual can only rely on the “Church” for the proper interpretation, then it really isn’t a relationship between them and God, it is a relationship and dependence on the “Church”! Anyway… there was a lot more to our conversation, but I will leave it at that.

After that Mark, Sonja and I went to Subway for lunch, and hung out in downtown for a while. Then we went for a drive in Mark’s sweet little Nissan pickup! I had music practice at 4pm, so we just hung out on the grass in front of the school until I had to go.

Music went good, and now I am back at the school typing this blog!
