My brothers on 4North and I made Valentine's Day a day to be remembered. For dinner, we dressed up in suits and ties and served the girls dinner at the dining hall. I got to serve a pretty girl named Cassie. They really loved it. We arrived before the hall opened to prepare: setting out silverware, drink glasses, and napkins. We escorted our "ladies" to their seats. I will put pictures on here sometime later; Brock and Trista took pictures, no telling when I'll have digital copies in my hands. I looked like quite the handsome gentleman. Later, we serenaded our sister floor--Third Rhine--with a rendition of "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias. I know I spelled his name wrong. Dave played guitar and the R.A. Crego led us in the song. We sang passionately; the girls deserved this special Valentine's Day treat.

This is why we've thrown ourselves into this venture so totally. We're banking on the living God, Savior of all men and women, especially believers. Get the word out. Teach all these things. And don't let anyone put you down because you're young. Teach believers with your life: by word, by demeanor, by love, by faith, by integrity. Stay at your post reading Scripture, giving counsel, teaching. And that special gift of ministry you were given when the leaders of the church laid hands on you and prayed--keep that dusted off and in use. Cultivate these things. Immerse yourself in them. The people will all see you mature right before their eyes! Keep a firm grasp on both your character and your teaching. Don't be diverted. Just keep at it. Both you and those who hear you will experience salvation. - 1 Timothy 4:10-16, the Message
