All Good Things

By Ryan, June 7, 2006

Here are the highlights from the past week that I will use to close out the first season of Faulty Jeans:

  • Now that my Mavs are in the Finals, I can truly say that good things do happen to teams I like. Game 1 tomorrow.
  • Camp WOW lives up to its name very well. Some great memories were made when I decided to sing Christmas songs in the shower. Other cool things:
    • I made a cool video slideshow that I will post in July (when it is more efficient to do so)
    • We watched Rob Bell videos for the sermons in the mornings... Rob Bell happens to be one of my favorite people on Earth
    • I became better and closer friends with Justin Venezio, which is something I’ve been wanting to be able to do for so long now
    • I rekindled my will to read my Bible every day
  • I read up on my old blog that I terminated back in October of 2005, where I found a post that crushed me. It talked about my grandma “...[being] about to recover from cancer for the second time in the past few years. Now that she is on the speedy road to recovery, we don’t have to wear masks around her. We haven’t had that luxury in a month and a half. She should also be getting her hair back soon. Too bad we can’t say the same for Dad.” She died about 7½ months later.
Looking at that last bullet, I almost want to be mad at God. She was so close to recovery, but then suddenly went south. Actually, in some respects, she dies because she couldn’t go south. She was gonna go to Houston but Hurricane Rita beat her there and one thing just led to another. It reminds me of “Matthew | 012 Rob Bell” where he talks about losing a close friend of his. But, in the video, he also talked about how Jesus dealt with loss. That ended up being a very helpful video for me. It was also cool because it had German subtitles on the DVD.

Looking back through the past posts on this blog, I notice how much Rob Bell has influenced my spiritual life as well as the way I compose my posts. People who know Rob Bell really well can look through my posts and see what I mean... we both start off with a story and talk about it, then tell how it relates to Christ and how it can be applied. I strongly suggest that if you haven’t seen any of his videos, you go to Mardel and get them or order them online at www.nooma.com.

And thus concludes Season 1, except for Awards Night.
