Club 11 Happenings

Scene: Homework being done in my bedroom on this past Tuesday night.

*Door flies open*

 Calob: Guys stop doing your homework now.

 Us: Umm why?

 Calob: We are playing sardines with the lights off in the whole house.

 Us: Yes please.

 We then proceeded to play about an hour of very interesting sardines. When the lights are off in our house, it's almost impossible to see or find anything. The basement is not even fair. I was blind and groping in the dark, terrified that I was going to step on something or run into things. I ended up going through the floor with one of my feet on accident. However, all is well.

 What should have been a normal Tuesday night ended up being a goofy night of 5th grade fun. I'll take that over senior year of college homework any day. I completely love every minute I get to spend in 6107 W. 129th place. My roommates are the kind of friends that everyone wants to be friends with. But wait, does everybody know who they are? Lets do a quick bio.

Ok, so this is my house. These guys are some of the most solid people I have ever met. They are tons of fun and so rooted in their faith. The great thing is that all of my friends, not just my house are like this. The girls that we hangout with and the other add-ons to our friend group just make my life so much more joyous. Couldn't be more thankful.

On Wednesday night, Club 11 had a Bible study in our living room. We sat for a couple hours and just hashed it out. There's so many things to be thankful for and we can be praying for everybody and love unconditionally. Everybody has a story and behind each smiling face, there is baggage. Be kind to all and love without fail. That's what Club 11 wants to do, that's what we all want to do as Christians.

Today I just continue to be thankful for where I am in life. Thankful for family, for friends, for adventures, for fun, for school, for the desire to travel abroad, for the ability to use a computer to write a blogpost, to worship freely, to eat what I want, to wake up early and appreciate a little bit colder morning, just thankful.
