Gainesville

this weekend, i went up to gainesville with a couple of my buddies from church, will and jason. we stopped by will's lake house on the way. it was awesome. the weather was killer and the place was huge. i just wish we would have gotten there earlier to ride the jet skis. the next day we headed out to gainesville for the gator game. we pulled in, picked up a third ticket (jason didn't have one), and walked to the swamp. it was awesome, everything you expect from a UF game, the atmosphere was electric. i had a blast. then we went back to will's bro's apartment and hung out for a bit. later we hit up the movies, came back and crashed about 3 am (normal college time). The next day we headed home, jammed to a lot of david crowder and will popped in some cool sermons from Passion '07. Francis Chan really got me pumped. we got home safe and sound. i was a little bummed we missed church at sawgrass that week, but we got a great student ministry team over there and i'm sure everything went fine. good news was i got back in time for the food drop that night. i went with 7 other kids from my campus team and bought thanksgiving groceries and dropped them off at a needy family's house. only problem was, they weren't home. we had to call for a new family's address, got lost on the way there, but finally found them. then, on the way back, realized a girl lost her phone at publix, so we had to back track there. we were the last group back to church, i only got to see shannon perform one song on the big stage, but in the end, it was worth it. this weekend was a blast, but exhausting. its good to be back home, catching up on sleep. in fact, i think ill go do that now...
