Dear blog,
Evan here. Sorry it has been so long. I got back from Chicago and had 1000 things to do and blogging just got moved to the bottom of the to-do list. thanks for understanding.
There are has been a lot to blog about, here is what I WOULD have blogged about if I had time:
- My trip to Chicago was AWESOME and I got a lot of time to think and dream for the future of the youth of Suncreek.
- the Stars won their first round series...yeah!
- the Stars play the sharks in the next round, and as a non-expert, I believe the key player for the stars in the next series will be Steve Ott. His aggressive, in your face style will be needed to upset the Sharks rhythm. Case and point, the last game of the regular season. My prediction, Stars in 6 (maybe 7) but I will call it 6.
- 30 ..... Saturday.....
- The youth fundraiser was HUGELY successful! Thanks to everyone who made it happen.
- I still don't like Barney....or songs about horns....
- WAY TO LIVE has started on Sunday nights and it is awesome!
- Confirmation is around the corner, I am excited about having this group involved in the life of the church.
So there blog, take that....and if it makes you feel better, Rob's blog called and it is thinking about a trial separation it has been so long since he posted.
Alright, I am out. Have a great day.
Evan

christian conferencing
one of the things that John Wesley found to be super important in any Christians faith (especially those involved in his societies) was the idea of Christian Conferencing... gathering together to learn...
In April, I will be traveling to Chicago to participate in a student ministries event called SHIFT. I first was inspired to go when I heard who the speakers were - Brian McClaren, Shane Claiborne, and Mark Yaconelli. I learned more about it, got myself registered and am excited...
THEN...today I got my list of break-out sessions that I am registered for. This got me CRAZY SUPER-DUPER excited!
Here they are:
Student Ministries Leadership Conference
A07: Reculturing Student Leadership
B27: Helping Students Think Critically About Marketing
C44: Remythologizing Our Teaching
D61: Deep Justice in a Broken World
4 topics I care deeply about and want to learn more about!
oh man, is in April yet?
I look forward to sharing what I learned with you all....

better sports
I guess this train of thought all started a few years ago when I was at a minor league baseball game and thought to myself..."You know what would make this better...."
Before I share, let me say that I LOVE sports, I think there are great redeeming qualities to most sports (sorry NASCAR, you are on the short list). I love watching sports, playing sports, and talking about sports, so this in not a knock on sports, just some random thoughts that would make certain sports better....
You know what would make baseball better?
Lassos
When someone begins to steal second, the first baseman can take out a lasso and try to corrall him. Think about it....2 ways to get a guy out - the catcher would still throw the ball to second and attempt to get him out, but adding a lasso might be an interesting idea...
You know what would make soccer better?
Playing 2 balls at the same time
Think about it, it would totally change the strategy of the game. Plus think of the excitement and chaos when the home team tears down each side of the field with a ball - it would be entirely possible to score 2 goals at a time...
also, you know what would make pro soccer better - stop the fake injuries and falling down crying...man that is annoying
You know what would make NASCAR better?
The various explosive devices found in car racing video games
Think abou it...the guy in 4th is 2 laps down, at which point he throws out a heat seeking "whajammer" which makes the first place guy spin wildly out of control, only to have him land safely on the infield grass to collect his thoughts and continue racing.
You know what would make football better?
new rules
Think about it - the addition of new rules, like "FREEZE TAG" would add a whole new element to the game. Other rules to consider:
BLUE FLAG RULE - in addition to red challenge flag, the coach gets a blue flag in which, when thrown, the opposing team must play the next play with no shoes
RED ROVER RULE - at the end of each quarter, each team lines up on the sidelines and calls one player from the opposing team over
THE TONY ROMO RULE - Tony Romo is not allowed to enter the country of Mexico....ever....not just before the playoffs, ever.
You know what would make basketball better?
open player subsitutions
no need to call a timeout or wait for the clock to stop...just throw the players you want out there.
You know what would make hockey better?
nothing - hockey is awesome....
