Blog #1
Hey everyone! It’s Friday the 13th of October, which does not bode well for our Homecoming game tonight…anyway. So I’m going to be keeping a V.I. blog for a little while. I’ve had blogs before, but not for a few years, so you’ll have to bear with me. My name is Lauren and I’m a senior at CCDS. I’ve been coming to V.I. since 7th grade, so I’ve been to a few Wednesdays and retreats and whatnot.
So what’s new at V.I? This Wednesday we had a full house, it was packed. We had a V.I. boy band up there playing: Drew on lead guitar, Phil and Flacheson on bass, Trey on the ivories, Elliot on the drums, and Dustin on lead vocals. I’m thinking we’re going to have to re-name Vertically Impacted to something like 77 Degrees or N*Faith. Wow, that’s pretty special.
We’ve had a whole bunch of new activities going on lately, one of which is BREAKFAST CLUB. Yes, this is a shameless plug for the Breakfast Club, 6:15 on Tuesdays at the IHOP in Kenwood. It is my ministry, yes, for those of you who haven’t realized it yet…we do have good times early on Tuesday mornings though. I usually drive 3-4 people, and yes, Angie does have ridiculous energy at 5:45 in the morning. While most of us are still struggling to keep our eyes open, she’s singing her own lyrics to the show “Wicked”… Although I would argue Angie’s singing habits are a danger to my health, I’ve felt that I’ve risked my life for Breakfast Club in other ways too. Two weeks ago, while driving a car and toting Hannah, Sam, and others, we had to cross the railroad tracks. The lights were flashing, so, being the responsible driver, I stopped at the appropriate distance. And waited. So, since we were running late, we got impatient quickly. I rolled forward a little and peered down the tracks. The headlights of the train glowed brightly, so, unwilling to risk the lives of the kids in the car, I waited. A minute or so passes, and Hannah intelligently points out that the train does not appear to be moving. “I’m not so sure,” I say (not so intelligently). Well, after a few more tense moments of waiting…I finally decide Hannah has a point….and…I creep up to the tracks. At this point it is blatantly obvious the train has not been moving for some time. So I make my way quickly across the tracks, glad that I didn’t risk anyone’s life and sorry it took me that long to realize no one was in danger.
Keep checking the website for updates to the blog, I should be updating at least once a week. If you have any ideas for topics for me to discuss, leave them on the message board.
Also: hope to see you at Laser Tag (October 28th) and of course, at BREAKFAST CLUB.
