It's been a long time coming...

On January 1st, I began something that I have wanted to do for a long time....attempting to read the entire bible, old and new testament, front to back, in one year. I found a really cool website (www.youversion.com) that tells you exactly what books and chapters to read each day. I really like how you read out of both the old and new testament at the same time. Right now, I'm in the middle of Genesis, Psalms, and Matthew. If you haven't read Genesis, you should! I'm finding it fascinating. I've heard all the stories before, but when you read them all together and understand how they tie into one another, it's much more meaningful. And, man, some of the people in those days were messed up!! But it all makes so much sense...

Ice, Ice Baby

I have been to a Denver Nuggets basketball game exactly once before in life, about 13 years ago when my high school cheer squad participated in a halftime show. What are the odds that I would randomly end up at the "I love the 80's" night game where Vanilla Ice, yes, you read it right..Vanilla Ice performed a couple tunes at halftime. He's for sure not the most talented (or sharpest) dude in the world but as soon as I heard "Alright stop, collaborate and listen..." for a split second I was taken back to 1990, 7th grade, to Alief Middle School in Texas when you couldn't NOT know that song word for word....and here we are, 19 years later, and everyone STILL knows all the lyrics...gotta give him props for that...right!?!
