Thursday

Yesterday was another great day! Strange, have you ever completed something and either tried to hand it in or even show someone? I know once in college I had an art assignment that I completed and my professor was no where to be found. Well, my resigning process has been equally as difficult. Who would have thought it would have been tough to quit? Anyways, for the past couple of days I have been continuing to work, but solely because it's demanded of me. Since my boss has been out of town the last couple of days, Monday will be the day. I pray.

Yesterday I met with Mark Stephenson to have some lunch at Chili's. I must say it has been a blessing for Horizon to have acquired such a great and talented leader. The dude, is for real.
We chatted about link groups and just real stuff. We also had the pleasure of visiting Chili's on a day that Josh Smith was working. That guy rocks, literally! I must say we have a great group of solid guys at Horizon.

Later that day I went into the office to finish up some paperwork. It really wasn't that bad. I showed two of my colleagues one of the pictures of me at "Retro." They were laughing hysterically! It did give me a segway into telling them a little about Horizon. So the laughs were worth it.

I was off to the gym. I think of my vocabulary the word "gym" is one of my least favorite. I don't know why but even though I am disciplined to go, I truly do not enjoy working out. I would rather be running outside, kicking a soccer ball, throwing a football, or even sitting on my couch and watching an episode of "The Big Break II." I guess I get bored or something. One thing I have noticed lately is that the women seem to be getting more and more attractive. You should see me. My mind is saying(Banks, don't look, don't look, :-(, stop checking her out!) Most of the time I avoid those parts of the gym, or even walk out. (This of course is if I feel tempted.) Another thing, envy. It amazes me to see how much weight some of these guys are pumping. Sometimes, it makes me feel like I'm a weakling. I know I'm not, but when someone is benching three forty-five pound plates on both sides of the bar. That makes my mere hundred and twenty-five to fifty pound sets look like an appetizer. That guy make very well crap bigger than me. Oh well, I am so glad that I normally stay focused on my routine and get the heck out of there. Because as I mentioned, the "gym" is not a place that I prefer.

Later that night I went to my Thursday night bible study group. And I must say it was very cool. First of all, the night was deemed, "my night." I was all teeth. (when am I not?) Anyways, I had the choice of worship songs to sing and even was blessed to open us up in prayer. I truly felt God in the room last night. Thanks guys for letting me have the night. We just finished the Old Testament Walkthrough. Last night I learned a few cool new things. I never knew that three things resided in the Ark of the Convenant. I always thought it was just the ten commandments. I also learned that the women in that day would give their mirrors to the men to be melted for labor. The women were giving up their vanity. We concluded by saying that where the tabernacle was always directly in the center, that Christ has become our center. We must have him be the center of our lives. I enjoyed the time with my group.

After the study Jason and I went to "Nottinghams" to get a bite and chat. I ordered the best personal BBQ chicken pizza I have ever had, well almost. Jason and I have a lot of things in common. For one we are both Christians. We also are both closing in our late twenties. And finally we are both living the life of singleness. With that in mind, we had a great discussion about women and the confusing things about a Godly-based relationship. We've both been single for a while and do not want to lose our MOJO or skills. (HAHA, that made me laugh) And more kudos to me, no alcohol for weeks and going strong! My pal Jason is going on a missions trip to India at the beginning of January. My prayers start here. This guy has an amazing heart for missions and God is surely to use him in a most glorious way.

can you post your pictures from "Retro Night"? i can't wait to see you in a 'fro!

sounds like you and jason had some good "guy" conversation. it's probably good that i didn't go then (that, and after one drink, i wouldn't be able to drive home). but i have to agree Nottingham's has some great pizza!

i'm glad you had a good time with us! when i first joined the group, i was confused when people said they were all really different people. now, i see that everyone is really different, but when we get together for study, it works really well.
