Ben Jamin Lately ?

Tonight is LP's first concert as Director of Orchestras at DMS. She is very excited and obviously a little nervous. A couple of weeks ago she asked me to help her with the program bulletin and being the nice guy ;) that I am, I agreed to do it. So on saturday she got me the program info and I went to work on coming up with a layout. On a side note, if you do not know me well enough, then I shall tell you that when I get into something I get into pretty hardcore and I am somewhat of a perfectionist. With that being said I spent like 4 hours on saturday working on. Sunday night I got the final revisions from LP's co worker, the band director, and got started on getting the final proof ready. After doing so I got to work on printing, which I also agreed to do. I had found someone that would let me use their color copier for a very good rate, much cheaper then having done at Kinko's or the like. So I got to work. 4 hours later I finally finished, though it was 2:30 in the morning.

Well as the two previous post before this one have said..... I once again am back.

Hello everybody....... I'm baaaaaaack! I know you were all saying "hey what happend to Ben?? Where is he?? I can't live without reading about him!!" well you don't have to worry I am back. I have been busy to the extreme. But I back in action once again.
So I figured the best way to get this party started I would tell yall about Polar Golf. I you are aking yourselves, What is "Polar Golf?" Well it's exactly what it sounds like. Every year we take our Youth Group to a mini golf place in the freezing cold to play. The kids love it, belive it or not! This was my first year to go and I had a blast. It was a great experience to go and just have a good time around the kids just being kids. After we finished we went to a huge mall close by and let the kids eat in the food court. Then we drove back to the church. All in All it was a good afternoon and nice break from the norm.




I havent forgotten about the joke thing either so withour further ado!

Where do you find a dog with no legs??

Where you left it!!

I know it's been a while since I have posted. BUSY BUSY. Thats what I have been but things are starting to slow down for a sec then back to busy again. But that's life. Even now I only have a second to post but I wanted to put some thing up so here is a picture of me leading worship for the Youth.


and of course a joke......

At Sunday school they were teaching how God created everything, including human beings. Little Johnny seemed especially intent when they told him how Eve was created out of one of Adam's ribs.

Later in the week his mother noticed him lying down as though he were ill, and said, Johnny what is the matter? Little Johnny responded, "I have a pain in my side. I think I'm going to have a wife."

I had my first test (college algebra) of the semester on Friday of last week. I was confident that I did well, but there is still nagging little voice in the back of your head saying "are you sure you answered that right?, what if you messed up?....". I went to class today, all exited about finding out what the grade was, and of course my professor said, "I got your tests graded and you will get them back at the END of class." So then I had to wait for an hour and 15 mins to find out. Even more time to sit and wonder if really knew what I was doing when i took the test. At the end of the hour she announced that because of the scores on the tests she was going to allow people to come to her office and retake the problems missed, provided that they do all of problems out of the book and turned them in to her. Now I am really freaking out. If that many people did bad surely I screwed up big time. She handed out the paper alphabetically, and being that my last name starts with an "S" I was at the end of list. The people beside and in front of me got a 78 and 83 (we really weren't supposed to look at each others grades but they made no effort to hide it and I couldn't help myself) and they seemed like they knew just as much as I did in class. Finnaly she got to me. As she handed my test to me, folder in half, I couldn't help but get that little tingling feeling in my stomach. I unfolded my paper and, much to my delight, I say a big fat 101!!!! I was so excited I did a little fist pump in the air. In hindsight I might of come across as concieded, but I couldn't help myself. It was so reassuring to work at something and then be richly rewarded.

No Joke today, Instead a word of wisdom.

Don't park in front of fire hydrants or this could be your car!!

I never really realized how many people ride a bike to campus until I started doing it my self. Even though it's hard to find a place to lock my bike up it is still much faster than walking or trying to find a parking place. I live about one block away from campus and from the time I leave my apartment it takes me about 5-7 minutes to be in my first class. You really cant beat that except may If I had a moped. But I really wouldn't want that because then I wouldn't be able to enjoy the ride, however short it may be. Campus is nice this time of year, a whole lotta green. But my favorite season on campus is the fall. I can't wait for fall :).

Joke time:
You know what is the hardest part of learning to ride a bike?

The pavement.

I just got a new application for my iPhone so now I can blog from anywhere.... Super cool... 3 posts on one day.... Whew
