The Last Time…

I was reading Mark’s latest blog entry (about the last time he saw OJ) and it got me thinking about the last time I saw him.

It was at Nate, Aaron, and Andy’s old house over on 3rd Street sometime in early December. Nate, Andy, Dale, and I had decided to go to Chili’s for dinner and OJ and Lorenzo stopped by. He was so happy and excited about the upcoming bowl trip. They only stayed a few minutes, and I remember the last words OJ said to me were: “Later Bro – see you in January.”

Wow…little did he know the good Lord had other plans in mind.

OJ had such a great impact on my life even though I only knew him for two years. I remember the first time I talked to him. It was the week between Band Camp and Choir Camp the summer before his freshman year. He was up in Anna’s office and he helped me do some errand that Anna needed. It’s such a tragedy, but his memory and spirit lives on.

Go Lady Raiders!

11-0 Baby!

I love Christmastime…

Two bits of advice:

1. Remember the reason for the season.
2. Be safe. Don’t become a statistic.

Still Missed…

You’re still missed, OJ.

FINALLY!!

We nailed that SOB Saddam!! How pathetic did he look on TV. I bet Bush’s approval ratings go up for this!!

Gotta love them…instead of snow, ice, or sleet – we get a dust storm with winds up to 50mph…I just love the brown-colored sky.

God Billboards

A couple years ago there was an ad campaign by an anonymous individual who simply wanted people to think about God again. Below are those billboards:

“Let’s meet at my house Sunday before the game.” – God

“C’mon over and bring the kids.” – God

“What part of ‘Thou Shalt Not…’ didn’t you understand?” – God

“We need to talk.” – God

“Keep using my name in vain, I’ll make rush hour longer.” – God

“Loved the wedding, invite me to the marriage.” – God

“That ‘Love Thy Neighbor’ thing…I meant it.” – God

“I love you and you and you and you and…” – God

“Will the road you’re on get you to my place?” – God

“Follow me.” – God

“Big bang theory, you’ve got to be kidding.” – God

“My way is the highway.” – God

“Need directions?” – God

“You think it’s hot here?” – God

“Have you read my #1 bestseller? There will be a test.” – God

“Do you have any idea where you’re going?” – God

“Don’t make me come down there.” – God

Wow
