I discovered last week that my drivers licence was expired. Good thing I rented a car to go to St. Louis for thanksgiving, or else I might have never known. So, anyway, this week I had to go and not only get it renewed, but transfer to a Tenneesse licence. So I went, talked with the police officer at the front desk and told him that I needed to get a new licence. He said, "oh, you need to get a permit?" I replied, "no, I need to transfer my licence from Georgia to Tennessee", he replied "oh, you mean you need to transfer your permit". By this time my personal pride was so far out the window.... I said "no, not a permit, a licence" "a REAL licence?"  he asked. "yes.. and real licence".... "how OLD are you???" "well, 23 I explained". He looked shocked... I was shocked... I didnt have a form that I needed, but he let me through anyway. I think he felt bad. He should have felt bad.. I feel bad. Oh well, I'll appreciate it when I'm older. It was wierd to think that 15 was almost a decade ago though. I'm glad I'm not 15 anymore. What a crummy age.

I am part of this small group. It is run by my pastor and his wife and it is for young professionals. Every time we meet we do a short "get to know you" moment. Last night we had to go around say someone from  history that you admire, and some social issue in the world that really bothers you. The first person that popped into my mind for the person that I admire was my father. People said, Martin Luther King, Mother Teressa, and others. I decided thought that mine was really my father. I said that I really admired all the sacrifices that he has made in his life to serve God. His willingness to travel all over the world, and his ability and gift at working with people. I think that one reason that I chose my father is because I have been realizing more and more lately that I am so much like my dad. Our personalities are really similar in many ways and I think we share a passion for people and we relate to people in a really similar manner. I admire him because one day I would like to be just like him. Aside from the corny jokes and the inability to multitask of course :) But he really does have a heart for people and a real heart for ministry. I think he is cool.

We also had to share a social issue that really bothers us. I had a lot to choose from, but I felt like self-centered-ness is at the root of a lot of problems. I debated choosing between child abuse, AIDS, Starvation, ignorance, and many others. It was a tough choice. There are a lot of problems in the world.

On a whole other note. I went up to Thanksgiving in St. Louis. I got to see Sarah and Kirk and Joanna, and also got to spend some good quality time with Kable. It was awesome. Here are some pictures from that. Just kidding, I haven't downloaded them yet. They'll come later.

Well, I need to get back to work. Hope everyone is doing well. P.S. Go and see August Rush... I really liked it. and I bought the soundtrack and really liked that to.
