Weekend Roundup

Been a little while since I could sit down and post for all you loyal readers (hi mom!). This past weekend we were in D.C. for a friends wedding. My wife was a bridesmaid (she was smoke’n) and I got to hang out most of the weekend. Highlights from the trip:

1. Free Chains Shirts came in right before we left….they look sweet.

2. Ate at 5 Guys for the first time…a dang good burger

3. Ate at Chipotle and saw Indian Jones 4….disappointed to say the least.

4. Ran my long run for the week…longest I’ve run since basketball conditioning in high school

5. Witnessed my first fainting at a wedding….maid of honor went cold on stage (she was ok).

6. Played Frisbee golf Sunday at Clemson with my brother for his birthday…he’s freaking 30

7. Had a foreign student try and steal my frisbee on hole 15…chris got it back…then I won.

Chuck, Clemson, Courage

Chuck Colson mentions David Woodward of Clemson University in his Break Point article today. I bring this up for two reasons, one, to mention my beloved Clemson (even though its not in the best context, I still love Clemson, for God really met me there) and two because Chuck’s teaching has impacted me greatly.

Chuck praises Woodward for speaking up for what he believed in, even when “he was denied an administrative position on the grounds that he was ‘ideologically incompatible’ with the values of the university” and was ridiculed my many. But David recognized that a clash of worldviews is under way and the so-called culture war is a war of worldviews.  If you have not read Colson’s How Now Shall We Live?, you need to. It has done more for my thinking and walk with God than anything over the past year. In fact, it prompted my joining the Centurion Program, which I would also highly recommend to anyone who wants to impact our culture for the gospel.
