Softball, sites, and songs

There's something about physical activity that seems to cleanse the soul. I played my first softball game with the BCM at school and I'm glad to say it was a success: we won 4-2. But the most successful thing to me was being able to play with a group of people of like mind. I mean not many softball teams out there clap when the other team makes a spectacular diving catch to rob them of a run; it's great to fellowship with fellow athletes, and fellow Christians period.

Now, back to the meat and potatoes of this post. Check out some of the new features over there on the sidebar and below in the Links section. Plenty of good stuff down there to keep you surfing around for awhile--I'll try to add one or two noteworthy links a week. As you can see, I added a nice little picture of our current study and the title of the upcoming week's lesson to give you an idea as to what to expect. Also, every Friday I'm going to try to incorporate some sort of lesson preview into my blog for the day, so be on the lookout. And as always, throughout the week I'll try to post some follow up questions/verses for you to ponder from the previous week's lesson.

That's all the time I can spare tonight. I'm typing this in one of my MANY study breaks. But i'll leave you guys with a verse from one of my favorite songs. Enjoy.

All I am for all you are

Because what I need and what I believe are worlds apart



I look beyond the empty cross

forgetting what my life has cost

and wipe away the crimson stains

and dull the nails that still remain

More and more I need you now,

I owe you more each passing hour

the battle between grace and pride

I gave up not so long ago

So steal my heart and take the pain

and wash the feet and cleanse my pride

take the selfish, take the weak,

and all the things I cannot hide

take the beauty, take my tears

the sin-soaked heart and make it yours

take my world all apart

take it now, take it now

and serve the ones that I despise

speak the words I can't deny

watch the world I used to love

fall to dust and thrown away

from Worlds Apart by Jars of Clay
