colder weather

I love the Zac Brown Band. I love Zac Brown's voice and I love the band's music. Here is one of their newer songs that I'm sure many of you have heard. Come camping with me this summer and I'll play it for you around the fire. It won't compare to being at Red Rocks with Zac, but I'll give it a go.
Anyone want to go to Cheyenne's big rodeo this summer and watch the band? I DO!

standing for something

I feel like I got kicked in the gut. I typically don't get so emotionally involved in BYU basketball but I have this season. And really, who hasn't? (If you have any cougar blood in you at all.) We were great! And I believed we were going to make a great showing in the NCAA tournament. After the news of Brandon Davies and the trouncing we took last night after the news, I feel like I got kicked in the gut.
However, I am proud to be a Cougar. Proud that we stand for upholding God's law. Proud that when we commit to an honor code we abide by that commitment. It has been interesting to read people's comments and hear their rude sarcastic remarks. Remarks about how backward, cultish, unrealistic, and ultimately stupid Mormons, BYU, and their honor code is in this day and age. It was also interesting to hear Brandon Davies' team mates talk about their love for Brandon and their best wishes for him. Their hopes that he would be alright and their willingness to forgive a friend who made mistakes. I'm proud to be a cougar and proud of the way they are handling the situation on and off the court. I hope now that they can pull together and salvage what was shaping up to be the best season in BYU basketball.
GO COUGARS!
