Methane ignitions

Yesterday was the first day of classes at U of I. It was a monday schedule, thus I did not have any classes to attend. Regular class schedules start today. I've attended applied stats this morning, which was quite boring. The software they use seems like it will be quite a bit of fun, though. I had taken applied stats at WU last semester, but it didn't feel like an upper division class. So, I've decided to take it again.

Just so you know here is the breakdown of my class schedule:

Tuesday / Thursday:
Stats 8-9:20
Orientation 12-12:50 (Tuesday only)
Aquatic Ecosystem Conservation 1-2:15
Watershed Hydrology 3 - 4:15

Wednesday:
Stats Lab 1 - 2:15

**I'll also be taking a special problems lab with my advisor. This will require me to complete a small research project during the semester. Should be a lot of fun!

Last evening the three guys and I attended a prayer meeting at Tapestry (their Church). Pastor Steve led and we all enjoyed praising God, confessing sin, praying for direction and wisdom regarding church growth, and then we interceeded for individuals we know. Nine were in attendance and all had genuine sincere hearts to cry Abba, Father! It was wonderful. The four of us also decided to start praying in the mornings together, and today's supplication time was needed and felt amazing!

Please pray for purity regarding our struggles with lust. I also am trying pray through the arrogance and pride in my life. Finally, I want to tell people about Jesus, so I need honesty and grace. Thanks for keeping me in your prayers! I know that God is pleased with them!

P.S. Yesterday evening Blake demonstrated how to ignite "natural" methane emissions, something I never thought was possible!

Um......Eww!!!!!

That's all I have to say about THAT.

Paul, I was excited to hear about your blog. Thanks for being willing to share your activities in Illinois with those of us you left behind. *sniff*

Sorry we weren't able to attend your presentation 2 Sundays ago. We were out of town and didn't get back until late Sunday night.

Come visit *our* blog sometime!

Blessings!

a29 is sweet. my roommate, Blake, is a fan of one of their churches - Mark Driscol from Seatle. He prefers his voice of Piper. Actually, I agree with Blake that initially Piper sounds like a fundamentalist. Of course, he is far from being that kind of radical - opting instead for the Biblical view of liberty and grace.
