The band that me and some friends have been trying to start is now one step closer. We have a name!!!!! We decided to name it Stand Up. I know it sounds like an odd name for a band, but we have a great story as to the name. I give you the shortened, condensed version. There once was an atheist professor at a university and would spend the whole semester trying to prove why God couldn't exist. At the end he would stand up and asked that any one who still believed in God to stand up. No one did because if they did the professor would call them a fool and say that if God existed he could keep a piece of caulk from breaking if it hit the ground. He would drop it and it would break. One man prayed the whole semester that he would have the strength to stand up. When the Professor asked who still believed in God, the man stood up. He was ridiculed by the professor and he went to drop the caulk, but when he did it slipped out of his fingers, hit his pants, rolled off of his shoe, onto the ground in one, perfect piece. We decided that we wanted to stand up for what we believe in and that it doesn't matter what others think of us, only what God thinks of us.
By the way. We are going to make a band blog and all of our info will go on there. Thank You.

Just so you know, the story probably isn't true, but it's promises and motivation are a great parable. I love you all and your commitment to Stand Up. You are all amazing!
btw, it's chalk. not caulk.
I'll blame it on spell check. It told me that that was how you spell it.
DARN YOU SPELL CHECK!!!!!
well you see, that is how you spell it. that's how you spell caulk. that is a word. you should know that. it's glue-kind of stuff used in construction. but chalk is the powdery white stuff that is used for writing on chalkboards. =)
