i asked out a girl this weekend for the first time in my whole life. it was pretty amazing. the rush i felt was intense, my heart pounding, my breath short, my throat scratchy, but it all worked out. she said ok! she said she would go with me sometime. i say this is the first girl i have ever asked out for real because all of the other girls i have gone on dates with have been part of the initiation process. even the one girl that i dated, i didnt even ask out on my own initiative, my roomate basically did all the work for me. im so lame, i know, but i just cant ask girls out. i dont know why, i think im afraid of them, especially the pretty ones. either way, this time i asked her out and i am so excited. just thinking about the experience causes my nerves to shake. not thinking about the coming date, but thinking about the asking-event. i am so happy for myself. in all actuality though, this is pretty sad. im 25. what is it about girls that makes me weak?

i dont know what it is. i wish i could put my finger on it. i suppose it could be the rejection part, but honestly i need to feel rejection for life to be full. i guess it could be my pride, i feel like it should just work out. the girl should say wow, he is amazing, and then it should just fall into place. ive come to realize that really there is nothing about me that should cause a girl to be attracted to me. my boyish face, im tall, almost to tall, im not muscular, and i have a hairy body. i dont have lots of money and i dont drive a fancy car, my personality is kind of lame, i have a hard time making conversation with aquantences and the like, i just dont know what to say. im not ecentric, and im not calm-cool-and-collected as most studly men are. so i have had to face the issue that girls are not going to fall at my feet begging me to date them. i have nothing to offer, except my life long devotion which i believe will make them the most happy in the end.

well, im really excited about this date. i have known her for all of one week now, i asked her out like the second day after meeting her. i dont know what it was about her that caused me to fall for her. honestly i was really hoping to ask out this other girl here at seminary, she is pretty cool, and then there is this other girl, she is one of my friends friends, but she lives in TN. i asked her for her phone number a couple weeks ago, she just gave me her number today. i dont know if i should call her. now, i really am interested in the other girls, the one is pretty popular here at seminary among the eligible batchleors. from what i understand like 8 million guys like her, so i really dont want to be another in line. the other girl, like i said, lives in TN, and i dont know if i am really that attracted to her. she is pretty, but i think that she places a lot of value in good looks and i would dissapoint her expectations. now new girl is beautiful, and her personality, the little i know is pretty cool. honestly i dont know what it is about her, but i really am interested to find out more.

i dont know where i will take her as of yet, i think i will get some ideas from my roomates... flowers? probably too much for a first date. any way, i want to impress her, but im not impressive so i dont know what to do. maybe ill be adventurous. although i hear the Dallas Museum of Art has a Van Goet display that is free on thursday and open later than normal.

god, be the first and the last for it is in you that we live, move, and have our being. may you grant favor while in the pursuit of your will.

Mega Memory Month

Ann Kroeker has a good thing going and I am in. Its called Mega Memory Month. I will be memorizing three hymns. I know you're thinking, "That's not hard." But, actually, yes... it is hard... for me. This Is My Fathers World Be Thou My Vision Be Still My Soul iTunes will be my guide. Progress today is remembering the names of the hymns.

  Kevin,                                                               At this time I believe it is necessary that I inform you of what is going on internally. As a high school boys soccer coach I learned that you want team captains who are fully dedicated to the team’s success. If they aren’t, the entire team struggles to reach its goals.  While I am part of the FBBC team, I believe I am lacking in this desired leadership quality myself.  After seven full months in my current position, I do not believe my passions are managing money for the church. As a result I do not have internal peace about the longevity of my current position. I believe there are better people for this role. I believe FBBC would be a stronger organization if a person more suited for this role were here. I c...

Come quickly.

Advent is something new to me. Sadly, the tradition I grew up in selectively ignored church traditions and events which regarded adhering to the liturgical Church calender. Pure religion throws off old stuffy tradition because it wasn't from the heart, or at least that's what I was told. Well, here I am, 27 years of church later and this is the first year that I will consider Advent leading up to Christmas. I was particularly moved by today's reading according to the Revised Common Lectionary out of Psalm 40. Psalm 40:11-13 (TNIV) pierced me deeply, as an arrow through the heart. It reads : 11 Do not withhold your mercy from me, LORD; may your love and faithfulness always protect me. 12 For troubles without number surround me; my sins have overtaken me, and I cannot see. They are more than the hairs of my head, and my heart fails within me. 13 Be pleased to save me, LORD; come quickly, LORD, to help me. When I often think of t...
