I have been pretty busy as always.  I finished my big ole honking seminary paper last week on Eternity, and it probably took me that long to write it.  I currently just got done writing another paper.  One more and I am done with Seminary papers.  I graduate in December!  Awesome!  This next week I will be going to Dallas, Texas to see Stryper.  It will be my fourth and last time to see them this year.  I guess that is probably enough.  Our group of students had a dress up party tonight.  I was not sure what I was going to go as until this morning.  I decided to do a Mullet/Joe Dirt type character.  To bad I decided this morning, because I did not get a chance to grow some facial hair.  I am currently watching the movie the Outsiders!  This movie rocks.  I never get tired of watching it!  "Do it for Johnny!"  This movie was filmed in Tulsa, so that makes it that much cooler!  Well that is about all.  Here are some pictures.  Mcdonald's visit the other night was ok.  Had bad service, which is always cool at that McDonalds.  The dude did a modification to his car on the hood.  Why?  I am not really sure!  Ha!

I have been hitting a lot of concerts lately and have not had much time to post anything on here.  Last week on Friday, I went to Kansas City to see Stryper play at an outdoor venue downtown.  It was pretty stinking cold.  They only scheduled it around a month in advance.  There was not a lot of people there.  I was disappointed and excited at the same time.  It was good, because I was able to get right up next to the stage, which is the closest I ever have gotten!  Plus the merchandise table was not crowded.  I loaded up on stuff.  Highlight of this night:  I got a lot of Stryper merchandise.  I got up really close to the front, and my buddy caught a Stryper Bible that he gave to me. 

Next I went to see Stryper on Monday in St. Louis.  It was pretty cool.  I got to check out the arch and than showed up for a meet n greet.  I got to go early to a soundcheck (which seems to be the thing bands do nowdays) and than meet them and get some merchandise signed.  It was a great show at a venue called Pop's!  I really like seeing shows here, because they ususally have a good turn out.  Enclosed are some pictures:

Next on Thursday night I caught Skillet in Tulsa.  I showed up right before they started.  They really seem to be the big thing right now in Christian music.  Pretty cool, have a good sound, and the singer grew up on 80's hair band.  They had lots of smoke, fire, explosions, and everything else that makes a rock show cool.

And then yesterday, I went to see U2 at the stadium in Norman.  I stood in line for like 6 hours.  And than we got in the stadium and stood all night.  I did not get to truly sit down until midnight in the car!  Man it was a great show, a crowd roughly of 50,000.  a U2 experience is undescribable.  My only complaint is that everything that a person has to go through to see U2, by the time you actually get to see them you are wore out.  Oh well once every 5 years is worth it right?  Don't have any pics yet?  I am sure I will find some. 

I got home at 3 A.M.  and than wole up at 6 to drive an hour and a half to go to my preaching class, which I had to deliver a sermon today.  I think I am done with the concert tour, until November.
