From the Inside Out
Music can be powerful. Many songs or musical pieces have an emotional connection for me, from having been playing during certain events that I remember very well, events that were often themselves rather emotional in some sense. Some other songs just evoke an emotional response, whether from the words themselves, the music, or both. For some of those pieces of music, like "The Pines of Rome: The Pines of the Appian Way" by Ottorino Respighi, I just have to stop what I'm doing, sit back and take in the music any time I hear it played. In any case, almost any time I hear particular songs, many memories and emotions often come back.
One such song for me is the praise song "From the Inside Out." I'd heard/sung it a couple times before, but I've really been taken by that song since early August last year when we played it at church one Sunday. We had a full band, including Owen coordinating that week and playing guitar, Alex on piano, and me on vocals for the first time ever at E-Free. Out of all the weeks that I've played with the worship team at church, that stands out as one of the most memorable weeks for me. The whole worship set that week was amazing, with a lot of passion in the music, both in the words and because of the energy with which we played/sang it, especially led by Owen & Alex. In the course of singing it several times in the rehearsals and for both Sunday services, I really became familiar with it, internalized it and grew to love it. Now it's one of my favorite songs. Every time I hear, sing or play that song, I'm reminded of the emotions I had that Sunday in August.
What brought this song to mind again was that we played it at church this Sunday (this time I was playing piano, with Lance on bass, Ben on guitar, and Mike, Sue & Krysta on vocals). And once again I was quite moved by it as we played it. It's been going through my head since rehearsal on Saturday night, and I've been thinking a lot about what the song says. The message of "Inside Out" is one of submission to God, and praising Him for His eternal glory. It is so prayerful and powerful ("In my heart and my soul / Lord, I give you control / Consume me from the inside out, Lord ... And the cry of my heart / Is to bring You praise / From the inside out / Lord, my soul cries out"), that it's hard not to be moved to a greater desire to serve and worship God with my whole being. It was on my mind during PSCG Bible study last night too, as we were watching a video by Joe Stowell (formerly of Moody Bible Institute) on the importance of not merely following Christ, but being devoted to Him. The more we allow Christ to change every part of our lives, from the inside out, the more we are filled with His love, which then can overflow to others around us. I quite often fail at letting Jesus change *every* part of my life, though, but that's why I'm so thankful for God's mercy and grace. It's my prayer that God would consume me from the inside out.

A thousand times I've failed
Still Your mercy remains
And should I stumble again
I'm caught in Your grace
Everlasting
Your light will shine
When all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes
Beyond all fame
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine
When all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes
Beyond all fame
In my heart and my soul
Lord, I give you control
Consume me from the inside out, Lord
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Your will above all else
My purpose remains
The art of losing myself
In bringing You praise
Everlasting
Your light will shine
When all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes
Beyond all fame
In my heart and my soul
Lord, I give you control
Consume me from the inside out, Lord
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Everlasting
Your light will shine
When all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes
Beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord, my soul cries out
In my heart and my soul
Lord, I give you control
Consume me from the inside out, Lord
Let justice and praise
Become my embrace
To love You from the inside out
Everlasting
Your light will shine
When all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes
Beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord, my soul cries out
Everlasting
Your light will shine
When all else fades
Never ending
Your glory goes
Beyond all fame
And the cry of my heart
Is to bring You praise
From the inside out
Lord, my soul cries out
From the inside out
Lord, my soul cries out

Spring, We Hardly Knew Thee
Summer arrived this weekend in full force here in Happy Valley. After a mostly miserable "spring" here weather-wise, where we couldn't seem to string together consecutive nice days, we've suddenly been launched into a summertime pattern. This weekend has been absolutely gorgeous -- mostly sunny all weekend, with mid 70s on Friday, mid 80s yesterday, and upper 80s today (upper 80s forecast again tomorrow)! And the best part of it all is that dewpoints have remained quite low, so it's not muggy at all.
Before it started getting all hot this weekend, I decided to go for a run on Thursday evening after I got back from campus. I know I'm not in shape at all, but I'd like to be at least somewhat in shape. I started to run fairly regularly in the first part of the summer of 2006, but then have gone for a run maybe once or twice total in the last two summers. So for me to get the itch all of a sudden to go for a run is pretty unusual. I decided to go behind the high school and swimming pool to meet up with the bike path over near Westerly Pkwy, to take it away from the high schools and see where it led. I'd never been back on that path before, so I was kind of surprised when it eventually dumped me out at the corner of Bayberry & Blue Course. So the loop I made wound up being right around 2 miles, which was a bit longer than I'd planned on for a first run. I did have to stop and walk four times briefly, but hey, I don't think that's too bad for my first extended run. And then when I'm able to do that loop without stopping at all, I'll be able to feel good about myself, so I now have a first goal to reach for. Eventually I'd like to get my endurance back up to the point where I can comfortably run 3-5 miles. I don't want to kill my knees or other joints, so I have no desire to get to the point where I'm running half marathons or anything. And being able to run that distance will only help me in tennis and softball this summer, and flag football in the fall and ultimate frisbee if I ever get back into that (I still prefer ultimate to disc golf by leaps and bounds). That and it's just healthy for me to be in shape. So we'll see if I keep up this running thing this time. We'll see if I go again tomorrow, since it's still going to be hot.
On Saturday morning I drove up with Isaac, Mindi & David R. to go tailgating for the Blue-White Game! We got there at about 10am, and even though I was in the first group of people to head up there, it was really nice not to be organizing a tailgate for a change; Isaac took care of everything, and made quesadillas and burgers on his grill. 
(It's exhausting in the fall to be organizing the tailgates for the meteo grad students, especially when there are so many home games bunched together.) Of course, I proceeded to forget the hurricane flags and my lawn chairs, but oh well. This was just a practice tailgate for the practice tailgate at the season opener on 5 September vs Akron, after all. Several other PSCGers (and friends) came out too. It sure was a beautiful day for a tailgate! 
A bunch of us went up to the game at 2pm and stayed until halftime. The attendance set a record for the third Blue-White Game in a row, with 76,500 enjoying the free spring football intra-squad scrimmage. There were thousands more people who stayed behind in the lots to keep tailgating too, otherwise we would've easily cracked 80,000. The game itself wasn't that compelling (it was a scrimmage, after all), but it seems like our offense should be fine next year. Our defensive secondary could be another issue though...
Then this afternoon after church I played some tennis with Ben. It was the first tennis that I'd played this year, so I was just hoping to avoid getting whitewashed 6-0, 6-0. I did manage to steal a game in the second set after digging myself a love-40 hole, so I was glad about that. So even though it was 6-0, 6-1, it wasn't totally lopsided, as there were three deuce games in both sets -- I just managed to win only one of those games. I really need to cut down on my double faults, sigh. It was also tricky playing today, because the wind would sometimes be pretty calm, and then suddenly gust to 10-15 knots. It just made it really difficult to track the ball accurately and get set properly to make a good shot, as it'd be drifting to one side of the court by greater or lesser degrees, depending on the wind speed at that moment. Stupid turbulent eddies!
I think it's finally safe to say that we're done with snow for the season here in central PA. Later this week when we have a big cooldown, we'll only drop down to the mid 60s. I actually wouldn't mind having a little bit of actual spring.

From High to Low
This month, and the last week or two in particular, have been a bit of a rollercoaster for me. I'll start with the fun and the good, and then get to the not-so-fun news. (This post is definitely on the long side.)
Back on Thursday the 2nd I went to New York City to watch the NIT Championship Game between Penn State and Baylor. I didn't know how many fan buses there would be to take fans from PSU to NYC, but I figured there would be more than the 16 that went for the NIT semifinal game. And were there ever! For the NIT Championship, there were 36 buses full of white-clad Penn State students that made the trip to Manhattan! Thirty-six! They ran out of buses to rent! It cost just $20 to get a student ticket to the game and a fan bus ticket -- a steal of a deal! (Penn State heavily subsidized the fan buses, to encourage as many people to go as possible in order to support the basketball team and make a good impression on viewers for the support that PSU gives.)
The buses left from the BJC at noon, so I rescheduled my advisor meeting from 1:30pm to 8:15am -- what sacrifices I was willing to make, haha. None of the other meteo grad students or Christian Grads decided to come, but Chris, one of the meteo undergrads (who'll be staying here for grad school next year) decided to take the bus out too. 
The trip was pretty much smooth sailing until we hit the long approach to the Lincoln Tunnel at rush hour. From then on we were crawling, through the tunnel, through midtown Manhattan, and around to the other side of the Madison Square Garden where the bus drop-off was. It was so frustrating being literally a stone's throw from MSG for 25 minutes before being allowed to get off the bus, especially as city buses next to us were letting off their passengers right in the middle of traffic! Ahhh, Manhattan.
After having been to a game at Madison Square Garden, I can see why so many people say that every sports fan absolutely has to go see a game at MSG. All the seating was in a single bowl, rather than a separate lower and upper deck like at many other arenas. That, combined with the fairly low ceiling, made for quite a cozy atmosphere (it was hard to believe it had a capacity of 19,000, it felt far smaller). 
The low ceiling also makes it a very noisy building when fans are cheering. I really noticed this about a half hour before the game, when there were maybe only few hundred Penn State fans who had filtered in, and it was so loud when we did one of the Penn State cheers. By the time the game started, around half of MSG was filled, and all but a few hundred of those were Penn State fans. It truly was a fun and raucous atmosphere! 
Penn State trailed Baylor 29-25 at halftime, but roared back in the second half to win 69-63! It was so great to see Jamelle Cornley and this team go out with a championship (even if it was "just" the NIT). I stayed to watch each member of the team and coaching staff cut down the netsHopefully this post-season run has begun to change the culture of Penn State basketball into a winning one. Even with the long bus ride back after the game, I was so glad I went to have that experience!
The very next night (Friday the 3rd) Alex was planning to drive out from Valparaiso to State College. In the evening Alex decided to hold off and wait until morning to make the drive. There was too much that he had to take care of, and so it was already getting late (far too late to start a 9-hr drive), and he was worried about falling asleep. A wise decision on his part. So instead he made the drive out on Saturday the 4th, and got here in early evening, just in time for a little dinner before going to worship team rehearsal at E-Free. After that we went to Hollemans to watch the Final Four and hang out with a bunch of people. Everyone was glad to see him. :-)
On Sunday morning we played on the music team for both services, and he absolutely loved that he got a chance to re-connect with so many people at E-Free. Truthfully, it was an encouragement to me to see and hear just how many people were praying for him, and how much a part of this community he became after being here just a few weeks over the summer. We really do have a very loving and friendly church body at E-Free. We had lunch after church at Faccia Luna with Kerrie, Mindi & Ashley G., and then did some homework both before and after PSCG Bible study Sunday night, with me working primarily on my individual project for my forecasting class, which I chose to do on the southern Minnesota tornado outbreak of 29 March 1998 (the outbreak that hit Comfrey & Gustavus/Saint Peter, most notably). We were actually helping each other a fair bit on that, because Alex was also doing a project for his mesoscale class on that event too.
Monday the 6th was his big day, meeting with several faculty members in the department to try to put a more positive face on his grad school application, in the hopes that he'd get an offer from Penn State. Alex thought that basically all the interviews/meetings went really well, about as well as they could've gone. He was really happy and pleased with how everything went. So while we knew from Eugene that there were still a bunch of people from the first round of offers that had yet to make their decision, and that even then there was no guarantee that he'd be given an offer if they had to make a second round, we felt pretty optimistic. Things were looking up. We knew that at that point, Alex had done basically everything he could do, and that it was entirely in God's hands from that point on, for whether Alex would get an offer from Penn State or other schools. That knowledge was simultaneously relaxing and nerve-wracking.
We both did more homework Monday night (it's amazing how much more productive I can be when I'm around someone else who needs to do lots of homework!), and then Alex started the drive back to Valpo on Tuesday morning. Maybe I sound like a broken record at this point, but it was absolutely wonderful to see him again, and to hang out with him a bunch. We got a sneak peek of what it'd be like to be roommates too, and we were really excited about him likely moving out here right after his graduation in mid-May. He even rearranged the furniture that Tim had left behind in his bedroom, making himself feel right at home. :-)
And then on Good Friday, Alex got an offer with full support from the University of Michigan! He had a phone interview with them in early March, but then hadn't heard anything from them until he got the offer. It was really exciting that he got into Michigan, as they're a very good school with a good atmospheric science program. At that point, we at least knew that Alex would be going to a good place for grad school, with the offer from Michigan in hand and what we thought was at least a decent chance at seeing an offer from Penn State eventually. Alex was absolutely thrilled that he'd at least get to make a choice of where to go to grad school (at the end of March he got an offer from the University of Houston), and I was (and am!) very happy for him.
Another really cool thing happened on Easter weekend, on Saturday the 11th -- I was blessed with the opportunity to see my friends James & Ali from Australia!! My parents had called me earlier in the week, when Ali's parents Bruce & Joan (also from Australia) were visiting them, to let me know that James & Ali were in Bethlehem, PA, visiting some other friends/family, and what their number was (they were all in the States because Ali's sister got married in Michigan). 
It worked out for them to swing through State College on the 9th, on their way to Rochester, NY. I took them out for lunch at Otto's, and then of course took them to see the Lion Shrine and to the Creamery for some ice cream, before they had to be on their way again. Even though their visit was only about 2-3 hours, it was absolutely wonderful. James & Ali lived just a half hour drive from Monash when I studied abroad in Australia, and I did a bunch of stuff with them, including surf fishing at Waratah Bay, going to Woolamai Beach and the Nobbies on Phillip Island, and other sightseeing around the Melbourne area. 
They even hooked me up with a discounted rental car for when my parents came down to visit, and arranged for me/us to stay with James's family up in suburban Sydney. They also took care of me a bit when I was sick with bronchitis, and I was able to upload a bunch of pictures to my blog when I'd go visit them (rather than blowing through my tiny internet quota in the res hall at Monash or paying a bunch of money at an internet cafe in Melbourne). Basically, they gave me a home away from home, and were wonderful examples of how to exhibit Christ's love. Anyway, it was quite the unexpected visit, and I'm really looking forward to seeing them again (probably next year in Australia).
Right after James & Ali left, I got some worrisome news. Eugene emailed Alex to let him know that the acceptance rate had suddenly skyrocketed, with five people in a row all accepting the offers by Penn State. Things were suddenly not looking nearly as optimistic for Alex's chances of getting in here, though we were both still hopeful.
Then on Monday the 13th, I got an email from Alex late afternoon -- forwarding a note from Eugene that contained bad news for Alex. Six in a row had at that point accepted their offers from PSU, bringing the total to 15 (the department's target number of students for next year's class), with eight still unknown. Eugene and the grad admission committee had no choice but to shut down all recruiting of new students, which meant that there was not going to be a second round of offers going out at all, and that Alex would therefore not be getting an offer from Penn State.
:-(
We were both stunned and bitterly disappointed. We didn't really know even what to say to each other. It was hard to accept. In just a little over 48 hours, Alex's chances of getting an offer from PSU went from pretty optimistic (or so we thought) to bleak as could be. If he had gotten an offer, there was a good chance that Alex was going to move out here as soon as mid-May. We had both been looking forward to being roommates sooooo much, that for those hopes to be dashed so suddenly left us reeling a bit. While he was at least as disappointed as me, I think I took it harder than Alex did (emotionally speaking), both because he had the excitement of the Michigan offer to counterbalance the disappointment of no offer from Penn State (I had no such positive thing to counter the disappointment), and because he was so busy with assignments, projects and tests that he really didn't have the time to sit back and think about it. There were just so many things that happened in the last several months, that we both sincerely felt like God was leading Alex toward Penn State, so I was definitely asking God why He wasn't actually leading him here. Monday night and Tuesday were pretty rough for me, with the initial shock of the news.
Ash took me out for a beer Tuesday night to talk about things, and I was able to talk to Alex for a little bit after that. Since then I've been doing much better, even though I'm still obviously disappointed (I probably will be for quite some time). It doesn't do anyone any good to keep being sad and completely bummed out about it, and lately I've been choosing to make the best of the situation (especially after talking to Alex about it). I mean, God is in complete control, and He knew all along that Alex was not going to get an offer from Penn State. Therefore, it's an even greater blessing that Alex got an offer from Michigan. As far as a worst-case scenario goes (Alex not getting into Penn State), Michigan is about as good as it can possibly get, with how great a school they are. (He hasn't officially accepted their offer yet, he's waiting to make an official decision until he can visit UM.) It's also only a 6.5-hour drive from State College to Ann Arbor (it's 9 from State College to Valparaiso), so that's a short enough drive that a weekend visit is manageable. Basically, it won't be much different from this year, except it'll be easier to visit each other (still won't be the same as sharing an apartment, though... :-\ ). It's also only an extra 70 miles for me to swing up through Ann Arbor on my way home to Wisconsin, so I expect we'll be able to carpool back up to MN/WI for Thanksgiving and Christmas and whatnot. We'll make the best of the situation, and I'm looking forward to seeing Alex in his new environment in Ann Arbor. In time hopefully it'll become clear why God apparently intends for Alex to be at Michigan and not Penn State. With all the great things that we can envision Alex doing here at Penn State, being an active member of the community both at E-Free and in PSCG, I can only hope and pray that God has even greater things in store for Alex at Michigan, and that He'll use Alex in an even more powerful way to further His kingdom's purposes in Ann Arbor.

Resurrection Sunday 2009
Happy Resurrection Sunday, everyone! He Is Risen! I hope all of you have had a wonderful Easter. I played piano at church once again, but I was almost late -- rehearsal started at 8am for the music team, but I didn't wake up until 7:40am. Oops. I didn't get breakfast because I had to hurry, but at least there were plenty of goodies to eat in between services, since it was Easter morning.
It was a team effort to choose the songs for this week, and we played Glorious Day as a true prelude before the service, then the hymns Christ the Lord Is Risen Today (that was of course the first one we picked out!), Victory in Jesus (which had been requested by a couple people in the congregation in the last few weeks), and Christ Arose!. Before the sermon we also introduced the song Jesus Messiah to the congregation as special music, as we plan to add it to a regular set soon. Then after Pastor Keith's sermon on Ephesians 2:1-10 we finished with In Christ Alone and Revelation Song. All very appropriate songs for Easter, if you ask me. :-)
This afternoon Jenn hosted an Easter potluck dinner for Penn State Christian Grads. Around 15-20 of us crowded in, it was a great afternoon of fun and fellowship. So much good food, too! I contributed lefse, which most people there were not familiar with, not having grown up in the Upper Midwest. While I was happy to introduce people to the joy of lefse, I think I'll pass on inflicting upon them the odiferous experience of lutefisk.
We stayed at Jenn's for Bible study, and as has become PSCG tradition in the last 2-3 years here, we read aloud large portions of Scripture, consisting primarily of the Passion narratives in all four gospels, but bookended by some readings from the Old Testament that set the stage for Jesus' death, and some New Testament readings that expound upon the meaning of Jesus' death and resurrection, roughly some 1,980 years ago. Here's what we read:
Genesis 3
Isaiah 52:13-53:12
Matthew 20:17-19
Matthew 21:1-11
Matthew 26-28
Mark 10:32-34
Mark 11:1-11
Mark 14-16
Luke 18:31-34
Luke 19:28-44
Luke 22-24
John 11:45-57
John 12-20
Acts 1:6-11
Acts 2:22-41
Romans 5:12-21
1 Corinthians 15:1-22
It took our group a little over two hours to read through all that. There really is a lot of value in hearing that much Scripture read aloud in one sitting, especially since the Bible was originally intended to be listened to (if nothing else than for the fact that very few people were literate during the time in which the Bible was written down). While each gospel account is different in some of the details that are recorded (especially John, who recorded many conversations that the others didn't), they are in agreement over a far greater amount of details. It's also really cool to see how much the Bible ties together what happened in the Old and New Testaments -- for instance, Paul's writings in Romans and 1 Corinthians above tie together Adam and Jesus, in that a lot of what Jesus did does not make sense (or at least makes quite a bit less sense) if Adam and his fall were not also just as historical.
I really enjoy this little tradition we've started here at PSCG on Resurrection Sunday, and I fully intend to continue it in future years.
He is Risen!

Going to the Gahh-den
Two posts in two days, what's gotten into me?
Today's going to be a bit of a long day, but it should be a fun one! In a few short hours I'll be riding a fan bus from State College to New York City, to watch the NIT Championship Game between the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Baylor Bears at Madison Square Garden! Penn State defeated Notre Dame 67-59 on Tuesday night to earn a trip to the title game. Penn State led comfortably most of the way, including by 19 at one point in the 2nd half, before the Fighting Irish suddenly trimmed the lead to just four. PSU fortunately regained control at the end to win by eight. No win is ever easy with this Penn State team, they always seem to like to give their fans a heart attack. Anyway, I decided I simply didn't have time to make two trips to New York this week, so I stayed home for the semifinal vs Notre Dame, in the hopes that they'd make the final, which they did!
For the Notre Dame game PSU filled 16 fan buses that went to NYC, and today I'll be surprised if there aren't even more buses that get filled. When I got my ticket at about 4pm yesterday afternoon, the ticket lady said that they'd sold nearly 1600 of Penn State's current allotment of 2000 student tickets, and that they were going fast. And my ticket to the game and a round-trip bus ticket cost only $20 total! What a deal! The bus leaves at noon, and will get back to State College probably close to 2am. The game tips off at 7pm EDT and will be nationally televised on ESPN. It should be a raucous home-away-from-home atmosphere, with a White Out being declared for all Penn State fans in attendance. Not only am I excited to go see a game for the first time in Madison Square Garden, the "mecca" of basketball, but it's a game I actually care about, and with a national tournament championship on the line, no less!
WE ARE... PENN STATE!! BEAT BAYLOR!!
And as much fun as it'll be to go to the Penn State game in Madison Square Garden this evening, I'm looking forward far more to this weekend when Alex comes for a visit!! He'll be getting here very late Friday night, and staying through Monday evening or Tuesday morning. I'm so excited for his visit!! The main purpose of his visit to Happy Valley is to meet with some faculty members in the department on Monday, since he's applying here for grad school (and no, he doesn't have an offer yet, but I'm sure hoping and praying that he'll get one soon!). While he's here he'll be also playing with us on the worship band at church on Sunday (Ben leading on guitar, me on keys, Alex on bass), and Alex & I will be leading worship at PSCG Bible study on Sunday night too. I can't wait!!

All's Quiet on the Fools Front
Maybe I've spoken too soon, but for the first time in several years, I haven't been pranked today. At least there wasn't anything I noticed in my office. It's kinda strange not to have something happen on April Fools' Day. Very much unlike two years ago, when I discovered my part of the office had been meticulously foiled by Amber & Caren. The lack of a prank this year seems to be positively correlated with the fact that they've both moved away from State College since then. I was assured of no pranks in my apartment at least, since I don't currently have a roommate who can loan out keys. ;-)
For those of you wondering why I haven't been blogging too much lately, part of the reason is that I've been working a fair amount on a webpage for my parents, who are considering selling their property. So if you've been looking to buy some lake property in northwestern Wisconsin, check it out!
I've also been writing up a post about my recent experience with a field experiment involving smoke grenades, but that's still a work in progress. We didn't start too many fires with the grenades, haha.
I think I forgot to mention previously on here that back in early-mid March I found out that I won Third Place Student Oral Presentation at the 89th American Meteorological Society Annual Meeting down in Phoenix this January, and a cash award to go with it! I didn't even know there were such awards, so this was a most unexpected delivery from AMS!
The 24th Penn State Graduate Exhibition was this past Sunday in the HUB on campus. I presented the same poster that I presented at ICS Day back in February. It sucked up my entire day though, because we had to be there by 10am, judging was from 11am-2pm (though my first judge didn't come by until 12:45pm), the public viewing session from noon-3pm, and then the awards ceremony was 4:30-5pm. Even though my three judges all had very positive things to say about my work and my presentation, I didn't win, place or show in the Physical Sciences category. I thought I had a good chance, but oh well. It's still another thing to add to my CV, I guess. Speaking of which, that's another thing I plan to add to my website one of these days, my curriculum vitae, since I finally typed one up recently. I finally decided I should maybe get one before I forgot the details of everything I've ever done. Perhaps I should consider typing up a resume at some point too, for the same reasons...
Stay tuned, more bloggish activity to come tomorrow morning. No foolin'!
