Can't get this song out of my head. The piano, the lyrics, the soul searching feel - so fantastic.

NoDoughBRO CHAMPION
No Money, Bragging Rights Only.

Had the tourney champion picked.
Score of 121.
38 Correct Picks.
Next person (my mom) was at a score of 83.

Consider this my bragging. Plus whatever I'll pull out in Arizona :)

I love that my family is so competitive, but I do wish I would gain possession of the OSU/MSU dollar bill - Dad's been hanging onto that one for a bit too long.

Thanks to CBSsports.com for organizing our long distance rivalry. You make it so much easier for us to compete :)

this one's for real.

Never put a period where God puts a comma

It's not over until God says it's over.

As Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee, he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the lake, for they were fishermen. "Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men." At once they left their nets and followed him. Going on from there, he saw two other brothers, James son of Zebedee and his brother John. They were in a boat with their father Zebedee, preparing their nets. Jesus called them, and immediately they left the boat and their father and followed him. 

[Matthew 4:18-22]

East Lansing feels like an end.

As much as it can get me down to think about leaving my Spartan city, I faithfully wait for the moment Jesus says, "Come follow me."  

I pray that I can leave at once, drop my nets, and follow Him.

No strings attached.  A leap, a gallop, a skip towards the next phase - and immediately know that the God of the whole universe is protecting me.

The will of God will never take me where the grace of God won't protect me.

You all know well, that my ability to embrace change is not usually met with an optimistic spirit. Prayers are welcomed. My heart keeps referring to "It's Not About Me" by Max Lucado and "Through Painted Desserts" by Donald Miller as great examples of stories and people who have dropped everything and gone. 

Prepare my heart Lord.

Even if dropping everything means staying put. :)  Oh mixed signals.
