Football and the Lighthouse
Hey Hey Hey!!
This is my room mate
Welcome to a new post of life in Tuscaloosa Alabama, home of the crimson tide that is the university of Alabama Football team.
I know im irish and should hate american sports but being in a town that is so passionate about american football is kinda addictive so much so that i actually enjoy watching the sport!!
On saterday night past I went to a friends house. He had a blacked out room with an HD projector which created a scream of 108 inches!!! he had massive speakers recliners and a fridge for the beers absolutely perfect set up for watching an american football game. Alabama were playing Clemson and were slight underdogs as Clemson was ranked in the top 10 in the confrence. but Bama took the game to them and won convincingly 34-10.
Enough about American Football.
Iv found my new home church. Its called the "lighthouse" (ring any bells sophie). Its a church of around 100 - 150 people, they meet in a converted warehouse and as soon as i walked in the door i felt at home. people were casually dressed (last week i was the only one wearing jeans to the church i visited) and engaging in meaningfull conversations with each other. the teaching was awsome the people were so friendly and i had a sense of God's hand in bringing me to this place. I went with my mate Michael and he really liked it as well. we went to the college bible study that night as well which was great as everyone was so welcoming i even got mentioned as the honourary irish student!! fun times
Went to atlanta last week like i said last post we had a really good road trip, John Butler trio were absolutely unbelievably good, probably the best musicians iv ever seen truely mesmorising. we went to a pub after it to get soom food and a few beers, the place we went to had wait for it 100 beers on tap!!! thats right, spoilt for choice. was a fun night.
Classes this week have been grand had a few assignments already completed had to do a speech as well. so apart from all that nothing else has been happening, I really am having a great time out here and as always your prayers have been much appreciated!!
