Well I pretty much hate time! It goes too fast!!! It makes me sad and excited. Emotions are so funny. I just got back from Urbana '06 which was even bigger this year with 22,000+ people!!! A huger bookstore, tons more mission orga's, 40+ hotels, and the Edward Jones dome where the St. Louis Rams play. My life, my mind, my brain change around 5 times. Fortunately for you, they webcast the whole thing. Steaming goodness at the Urbana.org website. Definitely worth checking out when you have some serious time to grow. If you want to know what I learned, ask.
The picture above is the Edward Jones stadium smashed up with people who want change. That was actually just last night. I got to serve communion to 22,000+ students with around 700 other servers. Like Urbana '03, it was purely incredible. This year's Urbana was in St. Louis instead of at the University of Illinois Champagne/Urbana. Logistically different, But God was there and that's pretty much all that matters. St. Louis is very different from Los Angeles. Nobody lives in downtown, it is rather strange. 
The pictures above are first a shot of downtown from the famous Arch. The gate of the west was definitely an awesomely huge sight. It was fun to hang out there. The other picture is the old Eads bridge that goes over the Mississippi to Illinois. History wohoo! Last but not least I have to show you guys some pictures of our Christmas Party. Paul's parents are in Germany, and I didn't go home cause the low flow so we had a small thing at our place. We bought some delicious angus beef (10%>fat!), made some burgers, margaritas,white russians, roast chicken (yay Panache)! I had a Portland Honey. 


Okay that's all for now, Gonna go watch the Rose bowl game. Then at 5:30 NOBODY MISS IT; BCS 36TH Annual Tostitos Fiesta Bowl! Boise State vs. Oklahoma! GO BIG BLUE!! Labels: Holidays, News, Urbana
