DALLAS

This post is not about the show that was and is still such a hit, that is now claiming the likes of international audiences.  Oh no, but this post is about a well-placed city in Texas that inspired such a show.  Yes, you guessed it, this post is about our orientation weekend in Dallas.

Firstly, we got the students here is in Durant.  All of them moved into the dorms, and we spent the night.  Then we headed out for Dallas bright and early.  Our first stop was either Six Flags or Hurricane Harbor (a six flags water park formerly known as wet n' wild).  Predetermined by our bosses I was to go to Hurricane Harbor.  It was amazing! 

I got a group of a few students, and a few of our part-time summer staff together, and we had a blast.  I will just  name a few rides we rode; the black hole, the texas tornado, and the carribean chaos (this was great because one of summer staff is from the carribean, and I think if he ever decides to become a professional wrestler that he could use that name for a very lucrative career). 

We also frequented the lazy river for our ventures about the park, and fought five-year-olds on their floaties, as they pummeled us in the wave pool.  Lesson: Never underestimated the power of an unsupervised five-year-old on an otherwise helpful device used for floatation, while in a wave-maker pool.  So after nearly drowning I saw that we all got a little toasty after that because some genius gave us the sunscreen that wasn't waterproof, yes, the people going to the waterpark.  Okay, now when I say that really I don't know who it was...I mean that could have been my responsibility for all I know,  but the point is we were all looking a bit red.

We went to the hotel, cleaned up and headed out to Medieval Times for some dinner and a show.  It was awesome!  It was my second time to go, which the first time I went was in High School, but I hardly remember it except for the Blue Knight going down for the count in the very first duel.  And yes we were in the Blue section.  But this time I was in the Red section...ha, and then the battle at the end was against red and blue and guess who won...Okay I know you know, because you know me, yes you are right is was the blue knight.  But it was an awesome time, and one of my students celebrated it by having me sign for him to purchase a sword.  Which of course people thought I bought it, since I was carrying or wielding it around.

Then we had a Book study and I played the guitar for people to sing songs to Father.  It was awesome.  There were some new and old faces there, and overall we had a great time.  I will also be doing the music for our weekly Book study this summer, which is really cool.  It is amazing how Father has given me so many opportunities with music the past couple of years, and really He helped me to learn some of the guitar stuff at a very rapid speed.  Sure, I'm no Jimmy Hendrix, but I can spin out a song here and there.  Anyway, it's has been a great summer so far!

I miss my peeps!

Much love friends,
