#10 on 10/10/10

So... today, on October (10) Tenth (10) Two Thousand Ten (10), the University of South Carolina is ranked Ten (10) in the nation in the NCAA Football rankings.  I'm your average football fan, who enjoys going to the games and will definitely yell the cheers, perhaps even when just watching the game on tv, but I'm not obsessed.  However, I do think that a WIN against the NUMBER ONE TEAM Alabama is worth posting about.  


In other news, I was actually at a cabin in the mountains this whole weekend (yes, while that game transpired)... and it was wonderful.  Among other things, I spoke Russian, met new people, climbed on waterfalls and went hiking (several times), ate sassafras leave stems, bought my first pair of Toms, enjoyed many a cultural, historical, linguistic, and theological discussion, ate s'mores, and worshipped by the fire with friends.  I think God was teaching me a bit about the idea of refinement, but more on that later.


Peace!
