Last night CCC had a cookout and recognition for the seniors. We had the typical food that an American cookout would consist of, hamburgers, hot dogs, chips, fruits and vegetables, soda, etc. After eating, we played softball for a few hours. I quickly found out that my left should that I had previously dislocated 4 years ago had not completely healed. I cranked the softball in center outfield and my shoulder came out a little bit. I also took a graceful tumble to second base- I do not recommend running in Crocs in sand.

After the cookout some of the guys invited me to their “Halo House” to have a LAN party. There were around 20 people there, 16 playing Halo 2 on 4 TVs. We played until about 1 O’clock, I had a very good time. This was my first LAN party and I can see why they are so fun.

Here are a few photos I took at yesterday’s cookout. One | Two

It seems as though the January Thaw has ended. Last night we received roughly 4 inches of light, fluffy snow. When I woke up this morning I stepped outside and headed towards my car and noticed a few inches of snow on all of the tree branches with the sun peering through the crevasses of the mangled barren branches. Before work I took a few pictures of some trees and of the Penobscot River. I hope they come out alright, but I am afraid since I was in a rush that they didn’t come out as I am expecting. I’ll update this entry later tonight if they came out O.K. I would love to take a day off sometime when I know it’s going to snow like this and just take photos.

Last week I was invited to go to University of Maine in Orono’s Campus Crusade For Christ meeting. I went and had a really good time. I met a lot of people there that are close to my age. I am hoping that I can learn more about the Bible and gain some good friends out of these weekly meetings. The next night, Friday, we went to see “End of the Spear”, a movie about some missionaries that witnessed to a tribal group in South America and were killed. It was a good movie although it could have had more Scripture in it. The following Sunday we were going to go Tubing on Hermon Mountain but it was too warm so we went over to one of the member’s house and played games for the night.

Update: I have posted a few of the photos I took, these are not the full resolution- the lighting is different because of the sun and not having enough time to tweak the manual settings. Ejoy.
