The World of Chris

A journal of Chris Carpenter and his life

Wednesday, January 06, 2010

Sorry I know it's been a while. A lot of things have happened since I last wrote. Biggest thing was my grandmother passed away in early December. She was 94 and a Christian so her funeral was a celebration of her life it was really nice.

I just got back Saturday from El Paso for Christmas. It was a good Christmas. My brother's girlfriend came this year so it was good getting to know her. We also went to the Sun Bowl and it was fun booing OU! While I was there the whole Leah situation exploded in Lubbock. All I got to say is that the administration at Tech showed their true colors and how deceitful and sleazy they really are. The Tech football program and its fans are the ones that lose here.

I am hoping to start working on my alternative certification to teach. I look forward to getting a job that has benefits and I will be able to be on more stable ground. Well I hope everyone has a good week. Well laterz.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I had an ok one. I have been having some issues with getting paid by LISD. It has been pretty stressful but I think I hopefully have finally gotten it resolved (knock on wood).

Things going ok at the church. We just need to hav e people show up it's frustrating. Hopefully they start to show up more consistantly.

Mixed bag for sports this weekeend. Tech just absolutely sucked it up. Potts is terrible. With Sheffield out for who knows how much longer, we got to hope that Doege can play well enough to get a few more wins. We will see though. I was surprised that the Cowboys won yesterday . Good win over a good team. Hopefully they can build on it. Well I hope everyone has a good weekend well laterz.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I had a pretty good one. Didn't really do much but watch sports. Good win by Tech on Saturday. Sheffield looked really good. It will be interesting to see if he stays the starter. Cowboys pulled it out barely. It does not look good that they have to struggle to beat Kansas City. Jimmie Johnson won, he looks like he is on his way to winning his fourth straight championship. That is amazing to me.

Ministry stuff is going ok. We launched our new children's program a couple Sundays ago. We had no students the first week and one yesterday. It's slow going I just hope those that are working with it will have the patience to stick it out as it grows.

Well I hope everyone has a good week. Well laterz.

Hope everyone is having a good week. I can not believe it's already October. I have had somewhat of a frustrating week. It had to do with getting my paychecks from LISD. They were sending them to the wrong address, which I haven't lived at for over a year. So very frustrating.

We are launching our children's program this week. KFC. Pretty nervous about it. Pray that it goes well.

Good win Cowboys let's keep it up.

Hope everyone has a good weekend. Well laterz.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I had an OK weekend. We had a ministers' retreat Friday and Saturday and that was good. It was good to get away for a day.

I did get back in time for the Tech game. I expected that they would lose, but I thought overall they looked really good. I think this bodes well for the rest of the season. The same can not be said about the Cowboys who lost last night. What a terrible way to open up our awesome new stadium. Very disappointing!!

Not much else is goin on with me just getting back into the swing of the fall. Hope everyone is doin well. Well laterz.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I had a busy one but a good one. Saturday I went up to Ceta Canyon for our areawide youth committee meeting. It went really well. We were discussing how our camps this summer went and everyone spoke really highly of our Junior Camp (the one I co-directed). I don't mention this to pat myself on the back...I was really stressed about how well this camp was going to go. But, we had a really good camp staff that made things good for the camp and really did great. Last night was our fall kickoff and that also went well. I feel actually secure at the church here, which is a good thing.

I start my last class today at South Plains. I am taking World Geography. Things will work out but I am already irritated about this class. First, I ordered what they said was the only required text two weeks ago. It has yet to arrive! Then, the syllabus was posted today and there was an additional two books required. Cost me $140 more dollars! Very frustrating! It will work out though. Well I hope everyone has a good week. Well laterz.

Hope everyone had a good weekend. I went to Pecos last Wednesday for my Dad's Stepmom's funeral. It was good to get away for a few days and see my Dad even though it was for a funeral. I got back Friday. School starts up today and I already got a sub job so that is good.

Not much else is goin on with me. I saw Kay Bailey Hutchison on Wednesday. Her speech just reconfirmed to me why I am supporting her for governor.

Did anyone watch the Cowboys game on Friday? Man they looked really good. (I know I know its preseason) and man we got the best stadium around! I wished they had the hole in the roof opened (So God could watch his favorite team :) ) Anyways that is all that is going on with me . Well laterz.
