As I’m sitting here on my couch this awesome Monday afternoon… two things are going through my mind {actually three if you count the laundry that needs to be swapped into the dryer… see sarah… I do work 
} and those two things are: #1) the Olympics and #2) the kickoff to another OSM season this Sunday night.
I am a BIG TIME Olympics fan! I especially love to see the swimming, basketball, and the running. I think this is the first time since my childhood where I’ve found myself on the edge of my couch cheering out loud for the USA teams. If you saw the mens 400m freestyle relay swimming then you know what I’m talking about. It was AWESOME. I’ll have to admit… I’m still a cynic when it comes to USA basketball… so I hope they prove me wrong! I love the Olympics. I secretly had a dream when I was little that I wanted to be in the Olympics, win a gold medal, and have tears streaming down my cheeks as they played the national anthem. Ah… those were the days. Wait… that was yesterday.
I’m also very excited for OSM to kick back up for another season. This year there just seems to be a buzz around OSM. The leaders are catching it… and Core students are getting excited. I feel like something huge is about to happen with our ministry. We have always dreamed that OSM would not just be another Youth Group… but that it would be a movement of students that would change our city, county, state, and world. This sunday night begins another season of that movement!
