Three-day summary

So, I haven’t blogged since Friday night, and a lot has happened…

Saturday I didn’t end up working, so I ran some errands and did some miscellaneous things. I had to go and get a few things at Radio Shack and I also had to go to KC’s and get some immunization records out of a tub I had put in storage. Once I got back I practiced I can’t remember what else I did, but I did play the songs for Sunday once through. At 3pm I went to the Webbs house for music practice and was there until 5pm. While I was there, a really ugly storm front cut loose torrential rain and even produced some baby twisters that never actually touched down. The tornado sirens went off and everything. After that I met up with Brian, Anthony, and Rebecca, and we all drove out to Brookfield to see newlywed Peter and Crystal. The trip there was pretty interesting because there was a lot of water accumulating in the road the whole way there. Once we got there we found Peter bailing water that had collected on his patio and was flooding the house. Crystal and Rebecca were busy in the house making us a wonderful meal of enchiladas. After only being inside for only 10 or 15 minutes we saw the water was rising again. We guys went outside to try and divert the water from the house, but soon realized it was all in vain. So we took a bunch of plastic grocery bags and filled them with sand from the backyard sandbox and placed them around the doors to try and stop the water from coming in. We ended spending an hour and 45 minutes straight outside while dinner grew cold inside. Crystal and Rebecca got so bored waiting for us that they watched a movie while we broke our backs to keep the water from coming in the house. Anyway…long story short, we managed to keep the water out of the house, dinner tasted great, and we watched the movie Enchanted.

Yesterday was Sunday. The best day of the week. Well, I went to church. And it was goooood! The music went really well and Jerome preached a really good sermon on desire. After that I went to the Webbs. And ate some foooood. Good = food. I hung out with Joseph for a good part of the afternoon and we had a great time together. I’m going to be playing my song ‘Jesus’ next Sunday at church, so Joseph and I practiced that while I was at their house. After quite a good chunk of time there, I went over to KC’s in time for the Bible study, but again no one showed. It’s kinda sad that no one has come, but I trust in time the Lord will bring someone. I guess I should pray more that the Lord will send people. While we were there another big storm front rolled in and Mark and I went up on top of the parking garage and watched it chase Sonja on her trip back from Sheboygan. She won. Hooray!! She and I went out to Caribou coffee afterward for some much craved frappuccinos. The drinks were good and we had a good visit. That's ‘bout it!

Today was Monday. (Monday always comes after Sunday.) I slept in, ate some food, read Romans 7, and then went to see Ben at the Salvation Army. I also talked to Mike, my mom and my aunt on the phone this morning. After getting back from the Salvation Army I talked to my sister Amanda as well. After that Sonja and I played catch with a softball and baseball until Sonja left for work. After that I helped Barry (a teacher here at NTBI) move some things from his old apartment to his new abode on campus until I had to leave for work. Work was good. After work Sonja, Mark, and myself walked down to the Fox River to see it at flood stage. It was neat to see. Then I came back to school did some laundry, had some soup with Sonja and had her type my blog for me. The end!
