Leading Off – The good news is that next fall Florida State Navs will indeed have a full EDGE Corps team (assuming, of course, they raise the necessary support). This is great news for the ministry, and I’m really excited about what all God is going to do through them. The bad news is that this probably means I will be living either by myself or with people I don’t know this fall (assuming, of course, I return to Tallahassee).
No Room In The Inn – Allow me to paint you a picture. Dave, the Nav head staff, owns two houses and a duplex that he rents out to students. The original idea was to have half of the duplex with the EDGE men and the other half with other guys who needed a place to live. I would have probably been one of those guys, since the other two houses are full and because I would like to live in one of these heralded communities. The EDGE women were going to live with an alumni who last year was prepared to house them when we thought we were getting a team then. A couple of weeks ago something changed. Either this alumni changed her mind due to some set of circumstances or maybe Dave only assumed the women would be living with her instead of solidifying a strong confirmation. I don’t know, and it’s really a moot point. The bottom line is the EDGE women will be living on the other side of the duplex. Which is actually a pretty cool ministry setup, having the whole team live in the same complex. But it does leave me without a place to live in the fall. Don’t misunderstand – I never signed a lease or anything. There was just an understanding that if there were a place available that I would probably be the one to fill it. So now, even if I do manage to find a job in Tallahassee, my next struggle will be to find a place to live.

Leading Off – Wow, so much good tennis and soccer over the last two days. And I picked three out of four of the victors correctly! I will say this though, I have spent entirely too much time in front of the TV this weekend and feel very lazy. Still, it was worth it.
Midseason Review – We have arrived at the halfway point in the baseball season. I forgot to do this last year due to all the NCP commotion, but this year I want to make sure I get my midseason baseball picks locked in for all the world to see.

Leading Off – This week has felt much longer than it has any right feeling, given the holiday and all. Time passes by so slowly here in Connecticut. I can’t say I don’t enjoy being here, because I do enjoy spending time with my family, but I’m ready for the next step to begin.
Does This Make Him My Cousin-In-Law? – Whoa, déjà vu. Only a week ago I was writing these very words for someone else. Congratulations are in order for my cousin Beka, who recently got engaged. Now, the details that I have regarding this engagement are few and far between. I was wasting some of my morning on Facebook and noticed that Beka had updated her profile with a shot of an engagement ring, presumably her own. Upon further inspection of her profile I discovered that, according to her “Relationship Status”, she is indeed engaged. Now, I do know that both she and her beau are both over in Australia on a mission trip at the moment, so there should be a fun story that accompanies this revelation.
