FREE SOAP!

Blogging is for nerds.......but here I find myself starting one up. So I guess you can add nerdy to the list discriptions for Jim Landis.--along with studly, handsome, and looks older than Charlie.

I am back at school for my sophomore year at Ozark Christian College and things have been going great. I am enoying my classes(until the homework starts) and love catching up with friends. My favorite class has been Youth Ministry at 8:00 with Kevin Greer--just the way the class is taught is encouraging and makes you want to get out of your chair and start a ministry with today's youth. My other classes have been awesome as well. Pastoral counseling with Peter Buckland--Foundations for Missons with Christ Dewelt-- and Principals of Interpretation with Doug Aldridge.

I also have World Geography with Dad Bear......which is NOT in my list of favorite class for two reasons ----1) It is my 7:00 AM class and 2) I have to sit by Jake Wiemelt.

I love fellowship with my brothers and sisters here at school. Doesn't matter if I am sitting in the dorms talking with my boys or driving to Mountain Grove to listen to my good friend Jeremy Hyde throw down. I love everyone here and hope I can have lifelong relationships with each and everyone of them.

One of the funnest things that has happened so far was that KG(Kevin Greer often confused with Kevin Garnett) asked me to play in a scrimage against the girls soccer team. If anyone knows me at all, they know I don't know a lick about soccer. I can eat more than just about anyone i know(irrelevant ), but I can't play soccer. Turns out I can't run ten yards without putting my hands over my head and asking for a timeout, but regardless it was a blast. Somehow I managed to get on a break away and score a goal--I think the defender broke her leg or something on the play because there was no way I could have gotten on a break away by myself. You know your a bad soccer player when the dead crowd comes to life after you score a goal when your already up 5-0(sorry girls)

This year promises to be busy and exciting. My mornings are jammed full with classes while afternoons are spent doing homework, getting the high score on Ground Defense, or catching up on Smallville. I help out with Carterville youth on Wednesdays and go to Missouri Southern's christian group, Koinonia, on Tuesdays. Thursday nights might be my favorite night because we have floor/dorm devos, which are awesome (shout out to my Willy Boys)! I am also going to try and go home more often on the weekends this year to see family and a good looking girl named Meghann Greene (and no I didn't spell her name wrong).

I hope to stick with this blogging thing and hopefully write something more spiritual/exciting in near the future. Love you all.

JIM'S BURN(For those who don't know this segment is where I kinda get to rant a little bit on things that get on my nerves. NOTICE that it is all fun and games and not meant to offend anyone.)
--Living in the dorms is great. I love it. But there is always those people on the floor that feel like the rest of floor is there personal closet space. This burn notice is going out to those people who leave their underwear in the bathrooms or leave there skinky sweaty clothes outside in the hallway for everyone else to smell. It also used to get on my nerves when people would leave their shampoo and/or liquid soap in the shower stalls until i realize...HEY FREE SOAP! Thanks guys
