Well, Videos are now up except for a few which I need to link. I found out that the site I used to upload pictures now only allows ten videos to be uploaded at a time. So, I either pay $5 a month for unlimted movies, find a new site, or start removing a video everytime I upload a new one. I'll figure it out.
Check for yesterday's update soon. I am at home for the weekend, so I can't make any promises!

Alpha Gamma Chi get's national attention!!!!!
Today I awoke to a beautiful sunrise and the sound of softball! I think they were glad to see such a beautiful morning. They hadn't made much progress since 2:00 AM, but were still moving. After History, Chapel, and lunch, I came to check up on the guys. CBS Channel 12 News was filming people and the event. After I was done for the day I came back to see ABC Channel 9 News broadcasting. Things improved alot today as more deorations and signs went up. The morning talk show hosts for Alive 95 did a special appearance tonight as well.
I just came in and it is now 1:20 in the morning, so I will make this update a Friday update! I've seen about 4 1/2 or so hours of "The Game" today. Anyways, the best part is to come, word was going around about how it would be cool to be on ESPN SportsCenter. About a little past 12 midnight the people in the press box announced we were on the ESPN SportsCenter Top Ten Countdown!!!!! We are being broadcasted all over the world! So check us out every half hour Friday morning. We are #6 (!!!!!) on the countdown!!!!!!!! After hearing that most of us cheered. The players seemed to get a little adrenaline boost. One of the guy's lifelong dream was to be on ESPN SportsCenter, now he is! Cool, eh? Well, I think I might go back outside for awhile; it's only 1:30 in the morning! ;)

The Longest Game in History Begins
Today at 5:30 Alpha Gamma Chi began their 101-hour marathon. After watching about 3 ½ hours throughout the night, I finally came in at midnight. At midnight they took their first thirty-minute break out 10 or more breaks. The opening ceremony was great as Ocoee Middle School cheerleaders cheered the guys on and the Lee Singers sang the national anthem. The Mayor spoke as well as sponsors were recognized. Paul Conn threw the first pitch as everyone cheered "Play Ball!" At 6:00 the game officially began. The teams are blue and burgandy. I am betting that burgandy will win! It got down to 33 degrees tonight and I froze to death. I came back into the dorm and kept my hoodie and beanie on for awhile. So, the fun begins!

Some news people (Channel 9, I believe) and a boy throwing a ball.
I was cold.
We were all cold. It was cold. Cold. COLD!
As of midnight, the score was 90-90 and they were in the 31st inning! They were six hours into the game and were taking their first 30 min. break.

We are the Champs!
I love our soccer team! The guys are all awesome and I am blessed to know a few. They won 13-0 tonight and are in post-season play-offs. I believe they are playing Berry this week-end (Sorry Luke, You're going down!!!!). We had an awesome time and began a new tradition that every time we get a goal we pull out are keys and tell them to get on the bus! It is awesome. We froze our bottays off and went and grabbed some hot chocolate and pumpkin spice chai latte during halftime (I got the latter).

Come Thou Fount
A hymn.
Come thou font of every blessing
Tune my heart to sing thy grace
Streams of mercy never ceasing
Call for songs of loudest praise
Teach me some melodious sonnet
Sung by flaming tongues above
Praise the mount I'm fixed upon it
Mount of thy redeeming love
Here I raise my Ebenezer
Hither by thy help I'm come
And I hope by thy good pleasure
Safely to arrive at home
Jesus sought me when a stranger
Wondering from the fold of God
He, to rescue me from danger
Interposed His precious blood
O to grace how how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be!
Let thy goodness like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee
Prone to wander Lord I feel it, prone to leave the God I love
Here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above
Amazing, huh? Imagine the song with a violin in the background. David Crowder did a modernized version which is soooo good! This hymn brings me comfort when I am having a bad day or things are trying to keep me from being the man God wants me to be.

Don't Shun Me...I like to Salsa
Salvador came tonight to Lee and played! Salvador is a latin Christian band that has a humongous group of band mates. Eight people make up the band with a variety of instruments. They Rocked! One of the things I don't think Lee thought through was that:
- This band is Latin
- This band is huge
- This band does salsa
Now I love to dance, but Lee seems to frown upon dancing, but that didn't stop me and hundreds of others. People were dancing all over in the auditorium while Pastor Harper sat in his little corner. It was so much fun, and it all for the glory of God. The opening acts were gospel singers and were very good as well. So that's just a tidbit about my salsa experiences.

The Lead singer and probably the youngest of the band Rocked!
Here's a partial view of the whole band! 8 members! They rocked!

A Hoedownless Hoedown!
A greek sponsered a Fall Hoedown tonight, the only thing is that we could not "hoedown". But the did make up a little with the ton of free food, snacks, cotton candy, popcorn, and prizes. There was a tractor, band, jail, chapel, and tons of games. It was awesome as you will tell by the pictures below!
Alpha Zeta Tau did an excellent job decorating!
Garrett, Paul, Chris, Patrick, and Me in Jail!
.25 cents to get out! :(
Rachel and her man tying the knot! Congrats!

Weekend Recap for October 7-9th
Hey guys! This past weekend was a blast! I went home for the first time in 7 weeks (50 days)! It was awesome to see my county, street, house, dog, family, and friends. I got home Friday about 4:30ish and spent the night hanging out with my dad. We had to go all over the county to find diesel. After ending all the way on the other side of the side of the county we found one place that had gas! I can't believe all the gas stations are closed down in Georgia. In Tennessee gas is more than thirty cents cheape. So Friday night quickly came and went and Saturday morning arrived.
I went Sat. morning and hung out with Laura, Jessica, and Billy at Laura's house up in Dalonegha. We had some fun as you can tell from the pictures below! After a few hours it was time to go to Peachtree City to see some concerts!!! I went and picked up C.W. from his work at the corn maze and then drove and picked up Andrew. We then quickly (but safely) drove down to Peachtree City (which took a good while).
We went to see the "Until My Heart Caves In" Tour at an ampitheater in Peachtee which was extremely nice. The first band we saw was Sanctus Real, which rocked! We missed Kids in the Way by ten minutes, but I've seen them before. But the next band was the one I was mainly coming for, SUPERCHICK! They are an awesome band with an awesome message for teens and especially young girls. Their message is so clear and I love their ministry. Adam and Jenni (my old youth pastor) both know Tricia and Melissa Brock. They ROCKED! The one thing that ticked me off was that they had to turn off a lot of speakers due to feedback. :( But they were still sweet! I can't wait to see them again. After their wonderful set was over, I went to meet them at their booth. When I got there I saw the line was so long! We waited for about an hour to meet them, but it was so cool! The security was nuts, they kept staring at me and the guys. I got to talk to Melissa and Tricia and told them I knew Adam and Jenni Deckard, they quickly lit up when I told them I knew them. So we chatted for a few seconds and that was that. I know I will see them again. ;)
So while we waited, Pillar was playing. We didn't miss any of their sets as we watched while we waited. They sounded pretty sweet and rocked just like the other two bands before. I also went and got the signatures of Sanctus Real while waiting for Audio Adrenaline to come on. As soon as Audio Adrenaline came on, we went to the front and rocked through a few songs when the lead singer (Mark) came out into the audience and sang "Big House". He came all around us and walked right infront of him. But that is not the coolest part, I got on stage!!!! I had made a "More Cowbell" sign before I came. Audio A is big fans of the cowbell skit on Saturday Night Live and I found this out when I saw them in concert this past summer. So as he yelled that he needed some volunteers, he saw me holding the sign and pointed at me. So I ran up on stage and danced and sung to "Beautiful". In the video I look so goofy because I couldn't jump very well with my backpack until I finally took it off. Mark gave me a high-five for the sign and I had a ton of cowbell followers cheering me on.
When I finally got off-stage I saw my friend Sarah Brown with Andrew and C.W., she had seen me on stage and had also run into the guys. So I gave her a hug and noticed that the band suddenly quit playing. One of the kids who had gotten onstage did a stage dive when we were getting off and knocked out a girl. Yeah, it was crazy! So they had to stop the set for about ten to fifteen minutes. The girl was okay and Audio A finished their set. I ended up not getting home till about one in the morning, but it was worth it.
Sunday morning, by the grace of God, I got up and went to church. The youth building is totally different as Adam remodeled it to look like a garage. It looks so awesome! It was neat to see Cassi, Jessi, and all my pals. After church I went home to a wonderful meal cooked by my mom. I got to bring leftovers back to college with me!!! After mom took me shopping for some very needed supplies, I pakced up and moved out.
So the weekend was awesome. I loved coming home, but I also missed college life. College is awesome, but I can't wait to see all my pals again!
Enjoy the video and pictures!

Patrick's Big 2-0!
We celebrated Patrick's birthday tonight at Logan's Roadhouse. We had a great group of more than 30 people show up! Awesome, eh? We had a blast and gave him chocolate and a ton of Little Debbie snacks. We had so much fun that I think I need to show you some pictures!

The first one is of J.J. and his Harry Caray impersonation and the second video is of Patrick.

It's Pat! He said "thank-you" at least 500 times for all that we did for him.
The whole gang!
Katherine knocked a table over and all our drinks fell off. The waitress came and threw buckets of peanuts on the floor and told us to stomp on 'em as they would soak up the water.
