The 'KGB Lions' soccer team has begun it's season two weeks ago with a 4-1 win (the first time the Seminary's had a winning record since I can remember!). We will be playing at Kenrick-Glennon Seminary every Sunday at 1:00 p.m. for the next few weeks (except on the 16th, during the Pro-Life Convention). The game dates are: Oct. 2, Oct. 9, Oct. 23, Oct. 30, Nov. 6 , Nov. 13, and Nov. 20.
There will also be a special Ecumenical match between Kenrick-Glennon Seminary and Concordia Seminary at the old CBC high school soccer field on Friday, October 7 at 4:30 p.m. We're trying to get as many people as possible to attend that game, as the Lutheran seminarians from Concordia always have a good showing, and the game is typically one of the most exciting.
Jeff the chef returns: Nutella and Peanut Butter spread on a soft white Tortilla (you can buy all these supplies at your local Schnuck's supermarket for less than $7!). Just roll it up after you're finished spreading as much of each ingredient as you like, then enjoy!
In other news... the Priestie Boyz returned today from the Crossroads Music Festival, where they played with the likes of Danielle Rose, Dayspring, Cheerup Charlie and Friday Mourning, among others. It was an awesome festival, and pictures and information (and even a few songs...soon) are available on their website.
Today is the feast day of St. Pio of Pietrelcina. St. Pio has been one of my most important inspirations for joining the Seminary, and I know he was a great help in intercessory prayer for my little sister, who was born three months premature! He was a devout priest, and had many troubles in his life, but he always offered his problems to the Lord and accepted his crosses (many though they were!) with a humble and obedient heart.
Here's a picture I drew of him in my journal recently:
On another note, the Priestie Boyz and I are leaving for Crossroads this evening. Please pray for safe travels. We will be bringing some T-Shirts and business cards to distribute at Crossroads, and I'll be videotaping and recording the event, so we'll see what happens with that material (perhaps there could be a 'pre-release' track of some sort).
Yesterday, the KGB Lions (the Seminary soccer team) won the first game of the CYC soccer season. We played very well (in my opinion) all game, and we finished with four goals (to the other team's one goal). It was awesome to be back on the soccer field for another game; I hadn't played at all over the summer, and I couldn't wait to get back on the field for a game! Thanks to the many fans we had on the field—it was awesome! (People actually cheered loudly when we scored.).
I don't yet know our schedule, so I hope I can make the rest of the games... but for now, it looks like we're off to a good start. I'll try to have someone take a few pictures so I can share them with those unable to attend the game.
