Not My Gamecocks

My #6 Gamecocks tasted bitter defeat today at the hands of the mighty Vanderbilt Commodores... please take two minutes away from my blog to remember that #6 ranking for it may never come again.

OK it's tough but it is just a game that I had no influence over so I'm actually surprisingly not too upset I have other things to worry about. Today during the game I had the privilege of taking the defensive driving course at Baldwin Driver Training, because I got a ticket in Georgia about 2 weeks ago and now they will drop the points off of my ticket. So it's a sweet little deal. LOOOONG class I was there from 7:30 until 4:00 so my brain was a little fried for most of the day and I played Halo 3 on Michaels Xbox to just relax.

I also got to go back to Lexington and visit my good ol' mom, get a home cooked meal, get a large pot to cook mashed potatoes for homeless people, and some much needed praise time on the car ride both too and from. I love rockin' out to Hillsong in my car. Good times.

Tonight in my quiet time I am just really really reminded of forgiveness and grace.
This week was tough being productive with tons of school work and I found lots of ways to be selfish with my free time and then wanted to hit myself when I realized how much I was wasting. Mute Math, probably my favorite band at the moment, puts it very well in their song OK.

"Down on my knees, down on my face
you just say
it's ok

So many days I've thrown away
but you just say
it's ok

I don't think I could ever repay
your perfect grace
but it's ok

it's ok
it's ok
it's ok
yeah it's ok

you've become my embrace
just tell me that it's ok"

Simple I know, but I love it when Jesus makes the truth simple. It rings in my heart and fills me right back up again.

To end... three things I am stoked about right now.

1)Next weekend I do believe that I will get to go to Charlotte to stay with the Reverend Wade Joye finally which will be awesome.
2)I talked to a friend from North Carolina and he might be comin' to Columbia for Homeless for the Homeless which you should register for right now.
3)I get to see Mute Math November 3rd in Birmingham with my girlfriend :)
