This is where I come... to breathe... to find calm amidst the storm that I call living... to process the challenges thrown my way...

Follow along. Maybe you'll find a fresh breeze, or a calm spring day, or a challenge for yourself.

At the half...

42-0.  USC v. Cal

The last time USC had a lead over 40 at the half?  2008 in Pullman, WA.  At that game, the score was 41-0 at the half.

In 2008, USC was ranked 6 going into the game and WSU was dead last (or somewhere near that), not winning any games in the NCAA that year (though they did win against PSU that year).

So what does this say about today's game? USC is not even in the top 25.  Cal is not too far behind them, wherever they fall.  Either Cal is having a very off day today, or USC has finally pulled things together.  I have to say, the defense... looking pretty good so far today.

Integrity

What does integrity look like?

- following through with your word
- honesty, despite the cost
- doing what's right when no one is looking
- a clear conscience
- a healthy fear of the judgment of God
- obedience amongst the disobedient
- not caring about the reward

How it plays out can be different for every person, because we all face different situations where we must choose to exercise integrity.  But the most common thing I see at college is the student who answers correctly the question that shows up on most quizzes: "Did you read the assigned chapter(s)?"  That is integrity.
