The forest through the trees

2006-12-30T12:25:00.000-08:00

Merry Christmas, everyone!

I had a wonderful holiday this year with my family. And Texas Tech made the greatest comeback ever!! That, to me, was the best present I could ask for.

Other than a bowl victory, I recieved several books on tape, some new butterflies for my butterfly collection and a box of wheat thins. I really hit the jack pot this year.

Anyway, I now leave you with a picture of me and my sister Christmas morning.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

happy fourth of july everyone!

la project is coming along swimmingly. except for that one incident the other night. it's true. i was attacked on main street by a giant raisin. who knew that such large fruit could pose such a threat?

luckily i am ok. i can not say the same about the other project students who are no longer with us.

anywho, we have three weeks to go. please pray for us as we finish strong and fight for our lives against oversized grapes.

Evil is among us

My blog has been compromised by a force to evil to mention by name. Know that the real shane does not take baths at all. He is a man who invented fire and the wheel. But if shane did want to take bubble baths Johnson and Johnson would be a good choice.

hello. shane here. posting from beautiful los angeles. just wanted to say a quick 'hello' and that i enjoy taking bubble baths.

chow.

well, hello.

seeing as how we have recently been studying rebuke in our project impact leadership training, i felt the power of conviction fall upon my soul today and felt that i needed to apologize to emily bryant publicly.

you see, i am working at project impact in los angeles, california, and she is working at project impact in chicago, illinois. i might have telephoned said person, and bragged for a lengthy amount of time on such subjects as the amount of gorgeous palm treeage surround me, the full kitchen i can use at any time, the beautiful furnishings of my apartment...the pink toilet seat cover, the mosquito net that hangs like a fairy princess crown above my bed...things like that.

well, emily, i apologize for being such a turd. truly, God is at work in chicago, too, and is blessing you through people you've met and the amazing leaders God has given your project. truly...chicago will make Jesus famous. truly, you will see great fruits and outcomes of your labor.

finally i would like to thank emily kay bryant for the wisdom she has imparted me over the years. i've always told people what a great influence she has been on me...helping me through seminary. if it weren't for emily being fluent in hebrew, i would have never survived the turbo class. she's amazing. really.

i shall continue to write updates as the summer progresses...

may not have actually been written by shane...

Know God intimately

2005-09-22T13:22:00.000-07:00

"To be preoccupied with getting theological knowledge as an end in itself, to approach Bible study with no higher a motive than a desire to know all the answers, is the direct route to a state of self-satisfied self deception...

There can be no spiritual health w/o doctrinal knowledge; but it is equally true that there can be no spiritual health with it, if it is sought for the wrong purpose and valued by the wrong standard...

We must seek, in studying God, to be led to God. It was for this purpose that revelation was given, and it is to this use that we must put it."
JI Packer

Lord, make me a man who uses knowledge gained to be intimate with you. This idea reflected in these quotes reminds me of many I cross paths with.

New year

2005-08-29T19:32:00.000-07:00

This year TTU Football will go 9-2 with a win over OU at home. I just got back from Lubbock this weekend. I had one of those moments in the car. I saw Lubbock in my rearview mirror and my eyes teared up. Lubbock is a out of the way town with very bad water and a funky smell but I can't think of a place with better people. I saw many close friends and some people who didn't even know I had left. Not really, but the funniest thing was that alot of people thought I had been in Chicago for the last two years. Sunday night I had one of those time stops moments. I have these from time to time. You might call them "the light bulb comes on" or as Bobby D says a rush of logic. I can't go into great detail but it has to do with missed chances, a blue eyed dream, a mountain called greek and a "cat on a hot tin roof". One of my all time favorite movies by the way. Have several great days until I write again.

shane, please don't hate me. i had too. i promise i will never use your blog for evil again.
