"And being assembled together with them, He commanded them not to depart from Jerusalem, but to wait for the Promise of the Father, "which," He said, "you have heard from Me; for John truly baptized with water, but you shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many days from now."
- Acts 1:45
Jesus did not tell His disciples to do anything. He told them to wait: to wait to receive the Promise of the Father. Why do we hurry into doing things "for God" when sometimes He just wants us to stop and wait on him? Go when He says "Go." Stay when He says "Stay." Proceed when He says "Proceed." Wait when He says "Wait."

Meet Charlotte
Here's Charlotte! We got her from my parents last Sunday. She's a cockapoo (half cocker spaniel, half poodle). She's seven weeks old, and she's loads of fun.

Birthday Fun
So, today was my birthday, and it was a most excellent day.
Sarah and I started the day off going to Beach Church and got to worship with our Lifegroup and a whole bunch of other Christ-followers (always good times).
After lunch, I got to open my presents from Sarah. Yes, I said presents. My wife tends to go all out, and she definitely went all out on this. She'd been saving her blow money (see Dave Ramsey if you don't know what that means) for months. She bought me a table saw AND a router, both of which I've been wanting for a while, but I don't possess the discipline to save my blow money long enough to get them. Here's a couple pictures.
After an afternoon nap, Sarah started work on a homemade cheesecake (which we will be eating shortly). Then, we went out to Travinia for dinner and went to Barnes and Noble.
To top off everything my awesome wife has done for my birthday, I've received numerous text messages and facebook wall posts wishing me happy birthday, and phone calls from two of the closest friends from my past, Christof and Nate. Thanks for everything.
And now, back to the regular world (where my wife is still awesome, and I get to eat cheesecake).

California is Run by Wannabes
Okay, so maybe not all of California, but check this out.
To help with the state's budget crisis, Governor Schwarzenegger (it's still weird to type the name as that of a politician) ordered a GARAGE SALE at the Department of General Services’ surplus warehouse in North Sacramento.
That's an awesome idea, and maybe everyone else should follow in Cali's steps for a change, but where have I heard of this idea before?
Oh wait, DAVE RAMSEY!!!

1st Week
Well, the first week of school at North Myrtle Beach High School is over. It was a great week, but really long. Thus far, my students have been great. I've already had a few sleepers, and two of my three classes have already had a quiz (the beauty of 4x4 schedule - you hit the ground running).
To end a great week, our football team walked away with the victory last night against Loris (our new principal's old school). I didn't get to go to the game, but I read about it first thing this morning.
Anyway, one down, quite a few to go. It will get more stressful, but I'm sure it'll be an awesome year (well, semester, since we are now on true semester schedules).
