PRAYER
"Sometimes one is conscious of spiritual life only because he is still struggling to maintain it, not at all because he is purposefully living it. Pray for my soul. We need no funds here, really, nor more workers. What we need is spiritual power and vigor in the soul. Our enemy wields well his weapons, and his, no less than ours, are spirtual weapons, for the defense of those same strongholds which we are equipped to pull down." - Jim Elliot

JOY
Seolicious: he says, girls are like cars because
Seolicious: and i could only think of bad stuff

Seolicious: some are hatchbacks, meaning they have no trunks
Seolicious: others have big trunks
Seolicious: so i said, but in the end, guys still love their cars

the warriors/cavs game was whatevs, lebron had one weak dunk but there still was a momentous occasion at the game. during one of the breaks tshirts were being fired out in a slingshot. john really wanted one and got up and started waving and yelling. when they shot one towards our side i noticed that the balled up tshirt was coming towards us. i realized that i really had a shot at getting it cuz it was so close. i was getting ready to jump and grab it but it went slightly to my right. 3 seats over i saw john bend down and then he triumphantly raised up his arm w/ the shirt in hand. i was happy for him cuz i knew that he really wanted it. he passed around the prize for us to see and i pretended to throw it back but he gave me a death look that said "thats not even funny, i would kill you if you did that." i passed it back to him and he proceeded to unwrap it. he opened up the balled up shirt and the first thing all of us see in big white letters is "ROSS". underneath it in smaller letters it read "dress for less". we all started to bust up including the guys behind us cuz they saw it clearly too. john had a very disappointed look on his face and i felt bad for him but i couldnt help laughing at how hilarious the situation was.

JOY
