Time, Discipline, and a quiet room.

Hey guys! Ok, I'm going to take a break from talking about Auburn's football season (even though I will probably post about this Thursday's game against WVU) and talk about another "sport." This "sport" is bible quizzing. Yes, I said bible quizzing. It's not like football, basketball, or any other sport for that matter, this is a sport that requires hours of study and memorization. Each year we are given a book/books of the Bible to study, and every month we spend a Saturday at a quiz competing with other teams from across the state. And, if your team is good enough, you might quiz with teams from your region, or teams from across the nation! But it is not easy, quizzing requires a lot of effort. If anything, quizzing requires time, discipline, and a quiet room. These things are important to the success of a quizzer. Time is required because how much material there is. Discipline, to focus on what you are studying. And a quiet room, just in case God has something to tell you. And one more thing, this is probably the most important, quizzing requires a desire to study God's Word. Without this, it is all pointless, we would just be reading the Word and not reaping the benefits from drawing close to God. Sure, you might win District finals, and maybe go on to regionals and nationals, but if you don't learn anything from it, where is the point? Well, that's all for this post. See you guys later!!

Football frustration!!

Hey everybody!!! So another Saturday went by and Auburn failed to come out on top... AGAIN!!!!!! This should have been a victory. It was Auburn against Vanderbilt in Nashville. Auburn started out strong by scoring two touchdowns in LESS than FIVE MINUTES!!!!!!!!!!! But on our second score we miss the PAT!!!! (How do you miss the PAT????????????) It just seems like after we put the starting quarterback out of the game we can't seem to stop their back-up. After that it was all down hill. Vandy came back and scored two touchdowns, making both of their PATs. And the score stayed 13-14 the rest of the game. I don't know what he'll do, but Coach Tuberville better start whipping his team into shape, other wise I might have to have a word with him. 'Nuff said.
