February = Football

February 29th...we only get to experience this every four years. Woop. Haha! No really, I can hardly believe that February is already finished! I guess I better get in my February post! heh heh!

Football here is called soccer in the USA. (Not arm-pit ball, which is football in the USA... :D )

This time was with the Students at the Preaching School. We played in the parking lot there at the building. I find I really enjoy watching it. :)

First of all, you move the old car that belongs to the neighbor out of the way.

Waiting to pick teams...

Levaughn...

Willem's ready to get this show on the road! :)

Waiting for some action, John?

Trying to get the ball out of the ditch...haha, yes, Trovel did end up on the ground...

Woo! Go Miles! Hit dat ball off yo chest!

Looks like Levaughn is about to do the splits!

Almost goal!

Wow, Nicholas, you don't have to drink the whole thing of water, boi!

Running...(Notice his awesome footwear: one is a regular shoe, and the other is an odd one with a sock over it.)

Woops!

Wey, Avery, sitting down on the job, eh?

I need to start wearing my socks like that! :)

That funny, eh, Kimani?

It looks like a Techno dance...haha.

Word. :)

Have I mentioned lately that I love life here? Well...in case you haven't heard...re-read this post. :)

<3

By the way, yes, I have played with them before, and I had the time of my life! I can actually beat some of the others at "defender." :D

Have a wonderful day! :)

He's a good friend

This morning in Chapel we sang such a beautiful song. It really is an uplifting, encouraging song, besides that it is very pretty to sing. :)

"He's a good friend to me,

He's a good friend to me,

When life goes up,

When life goes down,

He's a good friend to me.

He's a real friend to me...

He's a true friend to me..."

It really made me think: When life goes up, and when life goes down, he is a good, real, and true friend to us. But are we? Are we his friend? We sing a song "I'll be a friend to Jesus" but can we really sing that in truth? When hard times come, yes, we turn to him for help, but do we act as a friend to him by reflecting his attitude throughout those hard times?

Let us strive to serve God in a way that would be pleasing to him, because he has truly given us so much! He is a friend to us in all of life, so let us be his friend. :)

Have a wonderful Friday! :)

Comic relief for the day

Everyone needs a comic relief every day, right? Well this probably isn't too comical...but it definitely made me laugh. :D So here goes. I found it while reading history: this is the beginning of the Thirty Years' War.

"Protestant nobles rebelled against Ferdinand in May 1816 and proclaimed their resistance by throwing two of the Habsburg governors and a secretary out of the window of the royal castle in Prague, the seat of Bohemian government. The Catholic side claimed that their seemingly miraculous escape from death in the seventy-foot fall from the castle was due to the intercession of the Virgin Mary, while Protestants pointed out that they fell into a manure pile."

:D

Have a great day...I'm still chuckling to myself. :)
