One more addition...

This week marked the inaugural "Waters" of the semester...this is the praise and worship gathering of University Christian Fellowship at Marshall University. Yes I'm graduated, but I'm still involved. God's doing great things there.

Anyhoo, there was a lot of skepticism because we changed to an off-campus location (all the campus ministries got screwed up in scheduling due to a Greek society take-over). Praise God, we had a good turn-out. Plus, Jay brought an awesome message and managed to throw in the Blue Oyster Cult skit from SNL. "I've got a fever, and the only prescription is MORE COWBELL!" I think the point, though, was that we need to be living the life OUT LOUD, because someone out there will hear our cowbell (the Gospel, in this convoluted case) and decide that it's the only cure for their ailments.

Also, Jay has made the theme of the semester "Unleash your Uniqueness," although he says that some of us (and at this point he looked directly at me...not sure why...) need to reel in the uniqueness. I identify with Peter: not always sure I know what God's doing, but I want in on it. And you skeptics out there: Don't pick too much on Peter. He was the only one to step out of the boat that one time.
