| Well it's been an awfully long time since I updated this thing...so I guess this is long over due.
However, instead of the usual rants about politics and Aggie sports...I'm trying something new...something I feel is MUCH more important. Prayer requests...for ME...because I NEED IT!
Here it is:
Pray for...
- My discipline to study and prepare for the 3 tests I have in the next 2 days.
- My attitude towards others when things aren't going quite the way I want them to go.
- What I put into my friendships (That I would do more and NOT care if I get something in return...that I would pray for them and listen more...especially with those that I don't get to see every week)
- Taking the initiative...being myself...and NOT holding back because of the fear of not knowing what someone thinks of me. (That's a tough one)
- My preparation each week to lead worship on Sundays...that it would be more than just picking out a few songs that I like to play...that i would be accepting responsibility as one who facilitates and mediates worship or our Lord
- That the worship set isn't a playlist from Christian radio...but that they are songs (old or new) that express the Gospel that God can use to connect those in I am worshipping with!!
- That I would not worry about what I'm "supposed to do" when I graduate next year...that I would make the most of the opportunities I have now...and see where God leads me!

| Headline of the week: "Ticket sales for Texas game down"
"(Athletic director Bill) Byrne said the ticket office was surprised by the lack of students who picked up tickets and that he did not know why the numbers have declined."
Well jeez...I wonder why there's less support? What could be the problem? Isn't it obvious!!!???
To be honest...I'm GLAD to see this. Maybe Bill Byrne and the Board will be so surprised that maybe they'll actually start to see that there's a problem with our football program! I don't care if there are more arrogant t-sips at the game because fewer Aggies bought tickets. If that's what it takes to send a message to the powers at be...then so be it!! Aggies aren't going to put up with this anymore. Aggies are TIRED of blindly supporting a program that isn't going anywhere!!
You know when the 12th Man starts to show less support...something's not right. These rich suit-and-tie 'big-whigs' need to wake up and see that our football program has become a JOKE. I'll be at the game...probably doing all I can to keep myself from shouting at the arrogant 'sips that'll be sitting in my section...but I'll be there. And if Kyle Field is half-empty by halftime...I sure won't complain...I'll understand why. AGGIES ARE TIRED OF PUTTING UP WITH THIS!!! | | |
| As long as I can remember...I have followed Texas A&M football. NEVER...have I EVER felt ashamed to be an Aggie Football fan. UNTIL THIS SEASON!!!! WHAT IS IT GONNA TAKE FOR AGGIE FANS TO GET A TEAM THAT CONTENDS??? What do we have that other schools don't??? We have the facilities AND the alumni support that surpasses most programs in the country!!!
I'm tired of the Aggies being the 'lovable losers.' We put A LOT of money into this football program...probably more than ANY school in the country. WHAT IS IT GOING TO TAKE FOR US TO WIN??? Franchione needs to go...I don't care how much it takes to buy out his contract. I'M SICK AND TIRED OF AGGIE FOOTBALL BEING A JOKE!!! WHEN ARE WE GOING TO CONTEND FOR THE BIG 12 AND NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP?? HOW MANY YEARS MUST OUR LOYAL FANS WAIT??? I'M JUST SICK OF IT!!! | | |
| Well once again it's been a while since my last entry. Classes started this week...so we'll see what happens this semester. I hope it's a good one. I need to make better grades...which means I really need to be good about keeping up with my studying. There are several things I'm not sure about as I start this semester...I just need to be confident in what God has planned for me. Walking His path is the most important.
And of course...college football is now underway!! The Aggies play Clemson tonight. I'm a little nervous because 'Death Valley' is a tough stadium to play on the road...but I think our team will turn some heads this year! The Fightin' Texas Aggies will make some noise in the college football world this season!!
BEAT THE HELL OUTTA CLEMSON!!! | | |
| Yeah it's been a while. But what a summer!! God is good!! He brings us challenges...but it's amazing what can happen when we serve others and follow Him! Things may not always go according to our plans and understanding...but allowing God to use us for His plan is what's important.
God has taught me several things...and has also brought about a new spiritual mindset that I needed heading into the coming semester. What things in my life do I need to work on to make me look less like the world and more like Christ? How can I better serve my friends? How can I better focus myself to glorify God with my grades...my attitude...the way I treat others. I need prayer with all of these things!!! It's not easy. There are several things I do not understand right now. I want to figure it out...but I only make things worse...haha. I need direction...and not just any direction...but God's direction. I turn 22 in a week. Things start creeping up in my mind like graduation, career, marriage (which is a totally different issue in itself that I probably do not need to bother myself with right now). We all worry about things no matter what...and try to keep things in our control. But we can't control what happens. Can we humbly admit our dependence on our God to lead us? It's not easy, but I want to try my best to do so. | | |
