sport preoccupation
I know I've only been blogging about soccer lately, but I'm a firm believer that sport is a fascinating barometer for social trends (in addition to being a lot of fun). For example, on the New York Times World Cup blog they refer to a depressing story about how simply being a fan can be dangerous in some places. Some of my friends tell me I should stop wasting so much of my time following sports. Maybe they're right, but I know what I'll be doing tomorrow morning at 7:00 AM Pacific.

Yikes! I didn't realize you were home already. Matty, I have to say, I am gonna miss you. Despite our vastly different opinions on... well, everything... you have become something like a brother. I hope it will not be until "Eternity" until I see you again. :)
Okay, enough mushiness for now.
Have fun at home and say hi to your family for me! By the way, I liked your post about your experience at church this past Sunday. Sometimes I feel totally overwhelmed with emotion in church, and I love it when that happens. I'm glad that God gave you a meaningful and touching homecoming experience. :)
Hey Matt..I'm not going to Eastern Europe, but to Bangladesh. You are still welcome to visit me there! :) Enjoy your time in God's country.
I often wonder why I spend so much of my time paying attention to sports. Why do I care so much about groups of crazy athletes playing games against each other? It seems so silly and wasteful, and yet I get so much satisfaction out of sports that I can't imagine life without them.
