It's about time...

Guess who finally bought a car?

Do you ever feel like you can't do anything right?

I have a healthy disdain for both of the teams playing in the NBA Finals...But seeing San Antonio get their faces wiped all over the court puts a huge smile on my face. Sorry Tim Duncan...but I would rather see the Pistons take it.

I remember recently getting my drivers license on my 16th birthday....Oh wait. That was about two YEARS ago! Where does the time go?

Do you ever remember walking through the mall and looking at the "older" "cooler" kids. I used to pretend what it would be like when I was in high school, and I could drive, and I had a letter jacket, and all that stuff. Well now all that stuff is over with. I have finished high school, and don't wear my letter jacket anymore (mainly because it's like 105 degrees outside) and I don't even have a curfew anymore. It just seems like life was going at warp speed and when the coolness was occuring, I wasn't paying attention to how cool it actually was. I feel like I skipped four years of my life because I was too preoccupied with meaningless, trivial things...

This years goal...realize how cool it is to be in college. Enjoy life, friends, and most importantly...God, and don't STRESS OUT. Bring Glory to Him in all that I do by enjoying the life He's given me. That is something that the college group at Crossroads does unbelievably well.

• sometimes you just have to burn to tan
• grapevine lake rocks, especially when you're there with people who rock

• I wish I would have gotten to know certain people sooner

Good News...I heard from Kanakuk.

Bad News...buying a car is no fun. It will be fun once I get the car, but the whole process sucks.


I got to have breakfast with one of the coolest people on the planet this morning. I feel so lucky for every second that I get to spend with this individual. AMAZING!

Mexico was wonderful. But now that I'm back I have so much to do. I leave in like 8 or 9 days for Kanakuk. I have to:

• sell my car,
• buy a new car,
• have my Eagle Scout Board of Review,
• run down to drop paperwork off in Fort Worth,
• mail in the rebates for my laptop,
• do my thank you letters from graduation

On top of all of this, I haven't heard from Kanakuk in over a month. I have no clue what time I am supposed to get there, what they want me to bring, and all of the stuff that one would expect to get from his employer in advance. I realize that everyone at Kanakuk is extremely busy right now doing the whole CAMP thing. But they hired me, sent me the forms they needed me to fill out, sent my a confirmation letter, and I haven't heard from them in a month...But I would like to know whether or not they still want me to show up. If I can't get a hold of them this week, I might be spending the next month in the Flowerplex. I hope we can get in touch..it is the most amazing place on the planet.

Craig!!!, Just trust God...just trust God.
