Well, Well, Well…Looky Here!
The Jackets are in the Big Dance! Woo hoo!

Let’s see…

UConn? Beat ’em already…pre-season NIT.

Duke? Beat ’em already…at Cameron. (OK, so the Blue Devils won 2 out of 3. That means it’s Tech’s turn! Right?)

Oklahoma State? Who knows?

Guess that’s why they call it “Madness,” right?!?!?

GO JACKETS!

A Journal Worth Putting My Thoughts In

Van Gogh used it.

Matisse had it.

Picasso sketched in it.

Hemingway wrote in his while the afternoon sun of Paris filtered over his shoulder.

Now, I’ve got one! I wish I had had one when I was encouraged to “begin the 3 x 5 habit” back in school. It’s the perfect tool for keeping up with those 3 x 5 thoughts, and other stuff. It’s a handy size. It fits in my pocket. It has a “secret compartment” in the back. Oh, and it looks cool and gives me the feeling of capturing important stuff in a long line of creative people – which I hope to be – when I grow up.

It’s a Moleskine!

Loneliness…
From Donald Miller’s Blue Like Jazz, page 173…

“Loneliness is something that happens to us, but I think it is something we can move ourselves out of. I think a person who is lonely should dig into a community, give himself to a community, humble himself before his friends, initiate community, teach people to care for each other, love each other. Jesus does not want us floating through space or sitting in front of our televisions. Jesus wants us interacting, eating together, laughing together, praying together. Loneliness is something that came with the fall.

If loving other people is a bit of heaven then certainly isolation is a bit of hell, and to that degree, here on earth, we decide in which state we would like to live.”
