Holy Cow, Where Did May Go?

I can't believe the month of May is over already! It's been kind of a crazy month, in some ways good and in some ways not so good. Sorry to all you faithful readers (I think I'm up to six now!) that I haven't done much posting recently. I hope if you haven't visited for a couple of weeks that you will at least read my previous post below from a week ago, since it was my only significant action of the month. I promise I will try to do better in June!

I See That Train a-Comin'....

We are in the midst of change. And I'm talkin' serious change....not the "oh, I think I'll start eating whole grain bread from now on" type of change, or the "whoa, where did that hair come from...and what's it doing in my ear?!" type of change (not that those changes aren't important on a personal level - perhaps too personal!). The change I'm referring to is a deep-seated cultural shift that is taking place in our world, our country, and as a result our churches.

In Case You Missed It...


...and most of you probably did, Penn State won it's second men's volleyball national championship on Saturday night! Please hold a second while I swell with pride........okay, I'm good. Just a couple of tidbits for you to share with all of your comrades at work who are dying to hear this info:

  • Penn State is the only program outside of the state of California to have both it's men's and women's programs win volleyball national championships (the men have now won it all in 1994 and 2008, and the women won it in 1999 and this past fall in 2007).
  • Penn State is just the second school to win the NCAA men's and women's volleyball national title in the same academic year, joining Stanford in 1996-97. The NCAA began sponsoring women's volleyball in 1981.

And, on a final "oh how sweet it is" note, Penn State beat Ohio State in the national semifinal....for the third time this year! Not that I'm counting or anything.

For the Glory!
