How well do you know your way around campus?

How about Squires? How well do you know your way around there?

A bunch of us are getting together at 8pm tonight in Squires to play a little game we've played before that was a lot of fun. It's kind of like that old game we used to play when we were kids, hide-and-go-seek, but on a "grown up" scale. Everyone hides pretty much anywhere in Squires, and whoever is "it" has like 20 minutes to find you, and whoever is found helps find who is left. If you are not found before time is up, you score a point. Most people get found, so don't think it's easy to score points. It's really fun. There are so many good places to hide in Squires, and it's like a labyrinth, but it's still hard not to get caught.

Think you are up to the challenge? Meet us inside the front doors of Squires on the College Ave. side which faces Donaldson Brown at 8pm. Bring some friends with you, too.

Oh, and be sure to bring your cell phone or watch to keep track of time. You'll need that to know when time is up.

Hope to see you there.

Inspiring Stories

Ah, the snow is back. But at least it's not sticking this time. So come join us tonight at Oasis where we are going to be inspired by some really great stories. We've got inspiring stories from the Olympics, the life of John the Baptist from the Bible, even a favorite children's book, and, perhaps most shockingly of all, stories from your own family! Can you believe it? Yes, it's true. Come and hear for yourself.

7:30pm at the campus house, same as always.

See you there.

Iron Chef: Mystery Ingredient Edition

Don't forget -- Saturday night is Iron Chef: Mystery Ingredient Edition!

You got the email a few days ago explaining what to do if you want to bring food to compete, but you don't have to bring food to come. We already have several people that are bringing food. What we still need is more people to help us eat it all!

So make plans now to come tomorrow night, Saturday, at 7pm, to the campus house, and bring some friends with you.

We will enjoy the amazing deliciousness of some great food, with the added fun of trying to figure out what the secret ingredients are in the competitors' dishes.

Come to compete or come to eat -- either way you're a winner.

I hope you all can join us! It has really been a blast in previous years.

Oasis Tonight -- Dedicated

Dedicated --
That's how I would describe the students I just got done talking to on the phone about whether or not we needed to cancel Oasis tonight due to the blowing snow, high winds, and single digit wind chills. All five of them said if we had Oasis tonight, they would be here, and some of them knew of others who felt the same way. So we are not canceling Oasis tonight. We already have a confirmed core of students who will be at Oasis tonight.

Just to make sure you read that right, that means we are still meeting tonight at the campus house at 7:30 as usual.

Because the snow is blowing around so much, we are not able to keep the driveway clear, so we do have a little bit of a parking problem, but a lot of you can walk from on campus, or take the bus, or drive a 4-wheel drive vehicle, or catch a ride with someone who has a 4-wheel drive vehicle. So I think we will be able to accommodate the 4-wheel drive vehicles, but I do recommend that you either walk, take the bus, or take a 4-wheel drive. And drive carefully -- even 4-wheel drives slide on ice.

Hope you can make it tonight. Stay warm and be careful out there.

Ice Skates, Cross Country Skis, Dog Sleds, and the Super Bowl

What do all these things have in common? All of these modes of winter transportation are acceptable ways to arrive at CCVT's Super Bowl Party Sunday starting at 6:30pm.

The snow storm may make it impossible for some of you who live further away to make it to our Super Bowl Party, but for those of you who can make it here, the party is still on! The guys who live right here in the campus house will certainly be here, and plenty of you live right here on campus so it's just a short walk through the snow for you, so I'm sure we will still have a good turnout for the party. By Sunday night the BT will probably be running again, too. So warm your mittens and prepare your parka and come on over Sunday night.

If you have some "football food" you can bring to share, that would be great, but it's not required. You could just bring some soda or cookies or something, or just bring yourself. Feel free to bring a friend with you, too.

Oh, ya, and if you didn't know already, we have a big screen with a projector to watch the game on, so come cheer your team on to victory on the big screen. I think our group is pretty evenly divided between Colts and Saints fans, so you are bound to find some fellow fans to pull for your team with you.

Hope you can make it.
