I walked out of the dorm the other day and who should walk by but the president of Taylor University, Dr. Gyertson. He gave me a big smile and asked how I was. I responded with the typical, “Things are going well, how about you?” At this point he said the most interesting thing - “Spring is sprung, the grass is ris.” By the time he had finished saying it, we were already past eachother, already moving back into our own busy worlds. But somehow, what he said has stuck with me. It makes me smile and almost chuckle each time I think about it.

And oh how thankful I am that spring has finally arrived. The grass is green once again and birds have resumed their songs. The weather is warming, if still too slowly for my likes, but it is warming none-the less.

On another note, I got to play volleyball yesterday, and get to play again later today! I’ve worked with the women’s volleyball team here since I was a freshman, doing line judging and scoreboard / substitutions. During the spring, the girls call out six or so guys to scrimmage with them, give them a challenge. I happen to be one of the few to get called, and it is always a blast. Volleyball is most definitely my favorite sport, as long as it is competitive.

And now I’m off to other things.
