Wrigley meets TJ Bennett

My little big brother is here, and of course, Dad hooked us up with some Wrigley seats. First time inside the glorious cubbie field for TJ, so it was awesome. Here are some pics of us in the Stadium having fun and being sad that the cubbies lost 12 - 6 today.






Nick informed me that there was a lemon ice thing that some of the vendors walking around had. SO, my heart was set on getting that in my belly. I followed the "lemon thing" Guy from a mile away. And, yep, as you can see, when he got to us, it was chocolate. Unbelievable. I cried for the rest of the game. Lemon thing guy seriously let me down. It was actually quite hilarious. Nick and TJ laughed at me as I drowned in tears of sadness and mourning for my lemon thing.

a new way to see it

One of my Bible professors spoke some wisdom yesterday that really changed my understanding of spiritual disciplines.

He said, "We have spiritual disciplines, NOT to become more spiritual. Being disciplined is not a way to become closer and more intimate to God, it is a response to situations that are presented to us. We fast, as a response to a situation..." -Scot McKnight

Really changed the way I see it.
