July Blogger Awards

My best friend Aaron Henderson has created a blog that I'm sure he'll update 1 time each year when he visits me at Houghton camp. This is a clever way to avoid the '1 year policy' (if you don't post for a year, I delete you). It is also a clever way of knocking AP off the top of my link list.

Here are my favorite posts from July. Feel free to vote one of them as the most super-duper

AP's Evangelicalism
Dave's 1% Question
Gwyn's BBC Babies
Heather's Tattoo Talk
Kayla's Collection of Crazy Kid Pics

I have 2 other awards to give away for July. First, the monthly 'Blog of the Month' Award. The winner for July is:

Heather for her "HeAthLuVsInG"

In addition to this, I want to give an award to a great missions blog. Elizabeth did a great job keeping people updated about her time in Japan. Her time there is now over. If you never did, check out the highlights:

Elizabeth's "Journey on the Other Side"

Sunday @ Camp

Let's see, I fell asleep around 3am Saturday night. Woke up and went to the church. Services were good today and my Sunday school class was fun (at least for me). After church, I had to drive home quickly because I forgot my sandals. I drove to Houghton with a teen from our church (and my friend) Brandon rode along. Took about 2 hours. Registration was funny for a variety of reason. Got my room set up. Aaron Henderson arrived. Had good supper. Pastor John's sermon was very good. All the people I talked to from my church really enjoyed it. Had a love & fun conversation in the student center. Now Aaron & I are gonna watch some Seinfeld! The End.

District Conference

Yesterday was our district conference. BBC grads in my district include Aaron & Nicole Moore, Ben Last, and Megan Beers (though she wasn't at conference). John Symonds represented Bethany at the conference as he will be our camp speaker at Houghton Sunday-Friday. Dr. Earl had a good message and the rest was business as usual I suppose. I had a fun time transporting our 3 delegates back and forth. Next week I'll be at camp, but I'll almost certainly continue blogging.

Connolly

The Sabres have reached a 3 year agreement worth $8,700,000 with star forward Tim Connolly. Timmy, along with Derek Roy and Henrik Tallinder, is one of my favorite players. The question is, can Connolly recover from this hit? He missed the rest of the playoffs and isn't yet back to 100% (though the Sabres did say today that they are 100% sure he'll eventually be 100%).

Sabres Updates

About once a week I think about creating a 3rd blog devoted entirely to the Sabres, but I think I'll just post stuff on here once in a while. Today is looking like a pretty interesting day in Sabreland. Last week I posted my arbitration guesses. I was $1,000,000 off on my first guess! Thankfully, our GM Darcy Regier has made long term deals with the next four on the arbitration list.

Today, the Sabres announced they will have a press conference to discuss the new jersey's. I posted some of the potential logo's a while back. Rumor had it that the bottom-right logo on that link was the Sabres future logo. Fans weren't too happy. Over 22,000 signed a petition against it! So we'll see what the announcment is today at 4pm I guess. Below you'll find the logo I'd pick if it were my choice:
