Life, Mission Year, New Orleans Jenna Coe, Mission Year 2 Comments
Seriously.
I’m leaving in a few hours to take off on my new adventure. Mission Year. It’s going to be great. I know that’s kind of brief, but I’ve got a lot of emotion going on inside of me and I feel like if I start writing about it I won’t be able to stop.
One of the things I’ll miss a lot is blogging. Really. I’ve gotten used to it. I will be blogging on my Mission Year blog as often possible, so add that to your bookmarks and check it…regularly…? Seriously though, I will be trying to update it as often as possible. (SuperStippy will be on hiatus(sp?) for the time being. When I am home for twoish weeks over christmas? Prepare for a blogging frenzy)
Lastly, my good friend Jenna Coe blogs also. Tonight she wrote a “very special blog” to me. I’m not trying to talk myself up or anything. That was just really cool. I love Jenna a lot and will miss her (and YOU too), and it’s also one of thse things that I feel like if I start writing about it I won’t be able to stop.
Loving Jenna (and packing…),

Dating Up

Don’t worry, this isn’t about dating people who are “out of your league”, or “too good for you”. It’s a life update. Please read. (Also, there is a tiny spoiler alert for the movie “Traitor“…tread lightly)
There’s been some back and forth on whether or not I was going to be bussed or flown to Atlanta. If I haven’t told you, I will be headed to the Atl. for about a week before my NOLA adventure officially begins. I would have been in Atlanta for a few days anyway with everyone for our national orientation. Because of hurricane Gustav (Gustov?) all of the New Orleans Mission Year team members will chill in Atlanta for a few days. If I had to summerize this paragraph I would say it’s about me going to Atlanta before New Orleans.
Back to the original point of that. I’ll be flying. Which I’m kind of happy about. I would not have really cared if I had to take a bus, it probably would have been a really cool experience, but…24 hours on a bus? I’ll wait a little longer in life for that experience. Also, I saw the movie “Traitor” yesterday (Don Cheadle is amazing) and it was really good, but part of the plot was about them blowing up buses. Not. For. Me.
So, I leave this Friday, and it will probably be a pretty long day. I’ll be about 12 hours on planes/in airports. weeoo (not).
Also, if you have never played the Tiger Woods PGA video game you should. Brett rented it last night, and I pwned his face off, and we’re rematching it tonight. Be there or be square.
I think that’s all I have in the life update department. I’ll let you know if I come up with anything else.
Livin’ it up,
David
Hello Love

Life, Music Chris Tomlin, God Almighty, Hello Love, iTunes, Jesus Messiah, Love, Watoto Childrens Choir Leave a comment
That is the title of Chris Tomlin’s new album, and it’s incredible.
I’ve been waiting for this for this album for several months now, and he did not dissapoint. I have been listening to the “Jesus Messiah” single for about a month and a half now, and it’s good. I think my favorite track on the cd though is the title track “Love” featuring the Watoto Childrens Choir. Another notable track is the anthem “God Almighty”
I give this cd 5 starout of 5. I liked it that much. I suggest you get yourself a copy ASAP. You can get it on iTunes, or a music retailer near you
Jammin’,
David
