So I bought the car last Friday.  Because I am not right in the head when it comes to cars.  Assuming I can find my camera, pictures tomorrow&#8230;  I think you&#8217;ll agree with me that it was a good deal, though maybe not in the sense of having another vehicle to deal with.<\/p>\n<p>2. Watched the game earlier.  The area will likely be abuzz with superbowl predictions for the next two weeks.<\/p>\n<p>3. My brother David cut his hair yesterday.  He now has a sort of faux mohawk, a la David Beckham, which is all fine and good seeing as how David&#8217;s a soccer player too.  But he&#8217;s worn his hair the same way for about seven years, so it was still a bit of a shock to see his ears at church Sunday morning.<\/p>\n<p>4. Car Care Saturday was amazingly successful Saturday morning.  A bunch of guys showed up to help, and they became sort of the labor force, while I handled the &#8220;management,&#8221; diagnosis, tutorials, etc&#8230;  I bought sixty quarts of motor oil Friday night, along with filters for all the various cars that signed up (yes, I&#8217;m getting reimbursed).  We ended up changing the oil in about fourteen cars, sometimes three or four at a time.  The sun shone for us, and the church&#8217;s servant evangelism team did carwashes and vacuums as well.  Had a blast, and I&#8217;m incredibly grateful to have had so many guys help me out.<\/p>\n<p>5.  Youth group Saturday night was incredible as well.  For the first time my small group wasn&#8217;t the first one to finish and make its way to the snack room near the end of the meeting.  Andy posed a question to start us off, and the guys really opened up, gave each other advice, and even prayed for one another at the end.  I felt like we covered issues of substance for the first time, as Scott later confessed to me, &#8220;That was a really great small group.&#8221;  I was satisfied, but exhausted, by the end of the day.  God is so good.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>his entire personality was like a poetic juxtaposition of words searching for something to describe 1.
