For the first time in Starbucks history, the company has seen a decline in the number of java junkies entering their stores. In their fourth quarter report, they noted that the numbers have declined. Are they worried? Not likely. It was a 1% decline…
Do you think it has anything to do with the $100 a gallon gas prices we are dealing with?
I have been some places where they are serious about their college football ( I did go to school in Tennessee- and they are nuts), but Buckeye Fans are by far teh Craziest (and it is Contagious!!!
In honor of this Saturday’s game, I thought I would throw out some info and a vid:
- this is the first time since 1959 that both Michigan and Ohio State are coming into the game following a loss
- The senoir class at OSU can go undefeated (4-0) against Michigan in their college careers with a win on Saturday
- We need 5 of the top 6 teams to lose this week or next for us to get into the national championships- one down (Oregon) 4 to go
- Jim Tressel is 5-1 against Michigan
- Now the video-
You know how sometimes you plan, and schedule, and do everything right, and just at the last minute something happens and God goes, “Nope, that is not what I want you to do!” That happened this week to me.
I was in the process of scheduling our World Changers trip for the summer of 2008. 8 months out, I thought this should be golden. By reviewing the comments from last year’s trip, it was interesting to see that students wanted to have a say in where we went. So I put the locations on our student blog and allowed them to vote for the top 3. After all was said and done, Buffalo, NY was the chosen location. So I went to book it. Now the monkey wrench- Already full! Okay, I can handle this. Went to our second choice- Chattanooga, TN. Also booked.
So I consulted my student leadership team because we had to make a decision quick (or risk not going at all). So we are going to Huntsville, Alabama on June 21-28 for our world changers.
Sometimes when the monkey wrench hits, you just need to roll with it…
