Happy Birthday BCF!!!

my bcf alum friends, guess what! it was BCF's 65th birthday this week! and doing it BCF style they have taken over our gym for the week (thats what i dont like about it...) and there is a big event planned for tonight! as all the old people began to arrive earlier this week it was crazy. and tonight, as i sit out in the beautiful breeze i watch many people walk by, mostly old people. the school invited people from the Florida Baptist Convention and im thinking some alum too to this dinner. the Chorus is going to sing for the people and then serve everyone their dinner. people from the staff are attending as well. its the big thing here today.



i think it is cool because:

1) the old people are pretty cool. most of them are nice, and its like im watching some of them reunite as if they havent seen each other in decades.

2) everyone is all dressed up nice, i feel like its sunday morning, even though the sun is going down instead of coming up....

3) some of the students here have parents and grandparents that are linked to the school and so its cool to see them reuniteing with thier family!



cons:

1) the gym has been closed the last THREE days!!! not fun! but i got to go on bike rides so thats fun.



my observations:

1) because of the dinner, we got corn dogs and curly fries while we see the carts of STEAK and fancy food pass us as we eat the corn dogs on paper plates and drink from plastic cups (theyre using the good plates and cups for the guests....

2) we noticed in the bigging of the week that we were missing tables in the dining hall....

3) there are some people here that are not that bright, because even after all these changes and seeing things taken into the gym and the gym being closed, there were STILL people asking what was going on!



well i believe that this concludes the day...



my bcf alum friends, i ask, why are you not here!!!???? but then i remember that you are all in Virginia...16+ hours away









oh and praise report! i am now officially going to be attending New Prospect Baptist Church, THANKS HANNAH!!! i love it there, and im going to be helping with the kids on wednesday nights!

FYI: i love how everything connects in life, like today, Mrs. Rosie from the Student Services place was coming around doing the room inspections today and she says "becky, we have a mutual friend!" and i was like "really?" thinking it would either be the cliftons or nathaen...
she replys "Yes, Nathaen Hendrix!!" i just think it is still crazy! and Nate and hannah, i met someone form your church in Geneva in addition to josh, Stephanie, not sure of her last name, but its crazy! i love connecting the world, i heard one of my friends saying that it has to be the hand of God that placed us all here, because that little bit of connecting just has no comparrison to the other connecting people that ive met in the last couple of months! its nuts! i love it!
