One Piece at a Time

Having a whole week off from Furman is great in so many ways. It makes it much easier to budget my workload over the span of several days, chipping away a little bit at a time. I've got an article review for Paul class due for Monday, but I've got five pages of it finished already. It still needs a bit of fine-tuning, but at least the bulk of the work's done. I've already posted a new English analysis, but I need to practice my grammar project pretty soon.

Speaking of work, Chick-Fil-A's giving me plenty of it this week. It feels like a typical summertime week again. Black Friday is already shaping up to be a killer. But I've survived before.

Furman defeated Chattanooga last weekend 56-35, which brings their regular season record to 9-2, 6-2 in the Southern Conference. As we found out yesterday, the Paladins qualified for the playoffs, and even better, we'll be playing our opening game in the comforts of home. So hopefully, we'll have a decent turnout when Nicholls State comes to Paladin Stadium this coming Saturday at 12:30 pm. Good luck to my knights in shining purple!

I made it to choir practice last night for the first time since August. We have some new people, and I missed a few familiar faces, but that's okay. It's a hectic time of year. We're preparing our Christmas cantata, known as "Forever Gloria." It's a little different from the styles we've done the last two years courtesy of Camp Kirkland. The songs are much more traditional, and there are some incredibly awesome variations on some of the chords. It's going to be a terrific worship experience; I can tell that from just one practice with the selection. Hopefully I can make it to a few more rehearsals and get comfortable enough with the music to participate. Awesome stuff.

Song of the Day: Mark Schultz - "I Am"

Verse of the Day: "I will give you thanks in the great assembly; among throngs of people I will praise you. Awake, and rise to my defense! Contend for me, my Lord and God." - Psalm 35:18, 23
