Well I am back in the US and now I am getting ready to leave for New York. I am so excited. But I have so much stuff to do before I leave. I have to get my car to the body shop to get it fixed and read the book for NYC.

I really feel like that something is going to happen in NYC. I believe that God is going to show me if I am supposed to be there for an extended period of time or not. Calvary just partnered with The Gallery Church, and that makes me really excited. My college ministry is going to NYC for spring break, and that makes me so excited.

Well I need to be reading my book and such. I am going to be updating my website on the UTK server. It is going to be my site about my NYC trip.

Well today was awesome. We went to the catacombs under the city and saw all of the bones. There are an estimated 6 million bodys in the catacombs total.

Bonjour mes amis,

I made it here ok. I really like this city. Class is not so bad, and I am getting a lot of pictures. I hope that all is well in the Boro and K-town. I will try to get on the internet whenever I can. I got a french cell phone for a month. My number is 01133684165652. It will cost you a little bit of money. But you just may wanna talk to a long lost friend that is in Europe. I will try to put up some pictures later.

Au revior,

Jason

This is the view from the lookout portion of the CN Tower. I zoomed in a little...

I hope that all is well. I am in the airport heading to Montreal and then to Paris. I will be gone a month. I  hope that all is well in the Boro and K-town.




Au Revior,

I am in class right now....we are on a break. I can't wait until the 31st because I will be leaving for a trip to Paris. I am so excited. I hope that all is well.

I am now officially moved in to the college house at church. I really like it there. It is a blast and I am getting to know some of the guys really well and develop some really good friendships.

I need my coffee fix.....

    Well I am officially moving out of the dorms on friday. I am moving in the college house at church with 6 other guys. It will be lots of fun. I only have one final and it is on wed. I am so glad that I am just about done with this semester.

I think that I may have met somebody. I am talking about a girl. I will fill you in later if you wanna know about her. Just call me and I will tell you. Other than that I dont have anything to say.

Well I guess that I had a pretty cool birthday so far. I am going out tomorrow night with alot of people for dinner and then nathan, melissa and I are going to the Dave Barnes Cd Release show in the Old City. I am so excited.

I am really going to learn how to play the guitar. I started tonight for the first time for real. I am learning how to play "Save Tonight" by Eagle-Eye Cherry. Very Good song....side note: my fingers hurt.

I will have a new website up soon on UT's server. I just got iLife 06 and have been playing with iWeb alot. The new iPhoto is amazing as well. My website should be up tomorrow. Jason's Website it will be up soon.

I bought iLife 06 and a new video camera for myself for my birthday...haha lol. I know what you are thinking, but I got some money for my birthday. But I really bought my own birthday present. Oh well.

I love all of you guys and God loves you too! Even more than I ever could.

I need to be satisfied right now, I know that she will come along in your time. I love you. I am going to focus on you and keep my focus on you. I pray for her and pray that she is seeking you in her life. - JT

Ok, so many of you were wondering what happened last night, so here it is.

My church was having a create-a-date college social around K-town. So my group thought that we would be creative and light the rock on fire. And we did and got caught. And Scholes and I got arrested, the four girls got let go. I spent the night in jail until about 3:30 am, when finally they let us go to my College Pastor. God was definitely working late last night and early this morning, to keep us safe. And he did. I did not have to pay bail because the church knows one of the UTPD officers and he and Joe worked all night to get us out. Bless the Knox County Commmisioner for letting us not pay our bail. I have court on the 30th of Jan. where I should be put on probation. And then I will return to court and get it taken off my record. God is really looking out for us because he already has us a lawyer from the church, that is going to stand with us at both trials.

The only thing that I am really worried about is the student judiciary
(sp*) commmitee, because they have the power to kick me off campus, or more than likely they will just put me on probation and have to do some community service or something. I dont know and I am a little worried about it. So if you could pray for the girls (they have to go to the student commitee too), Scholes (for his record), and me (for my record, student commitee) that would be really great. I love you guys.

In Him,
Jason Thacker

I just got out of the Knox County Jail... I will give many more details soon, when I wake up. I will also have pictures of the Rock at UT being set on fire... Darn Church Kids!!!

I just have to say that we worship an AMAZING GOD...

Well my life has taken some twists and turns lately, and I dont know even where to start. But I am going to try...

1. I had an amazing time snowboarding for the first time. I really love that sport and think that I am going to try to do it as often as possible.

2. My Birthday is next thursday and to celebrate.....drum roll please.....I am going to go with one of my best friends to the CD Release Show for Dave Barnes at New City Cafe...and guess who is opening for him....Andy Davis... I am so excited...

3. My Birthday is next Thursday....

4. I am applying to go to New York City for two weeks during the summer for TLJ summer experience. I really feel God calling me to go to NYC and do His work. I pray that all goes well.

5. In less than 3 months I will be overseas in Trinadad with my church doing mission work. I am so excited. It will be my first trip outside of the US. I am really excited about what God will be doing there.

6. I am planning to study abroad in Paris, for three week in June and I will recieve French 211 and 212, which are both of my required language credits for UT. I think that it will be a great experience for me.

7. I had my Calc. book and one of my notebooks stolen....So...DONT leave anything unattended even for a half of second....OK?

8. I got my first parking ticket at UT, yesterday....Parking Stinks here...word from the wise...Oh Well

9. UT is playing unbeaten florida saturday and I am painting up forthe game with Orange Nation. Look for me on TV.....

10. I am running out of things to type, so if you really wanna know what is going on just call or write....

Love in Him,
JT

 This is my big/little sister in West Virginia the night before I am going to go snowboarding for the first time.....  YAY!!!!!

Hey guys.....I am still completely and utterly speechless....

GOD...the creator of the universe wants me...He cares for me...He cares for you...He loves you

God has shown Himself to me in ways that I can not describe in text nor in speech. My prayer tonight is that each of you experience the love of a fogiving, perfect, loving, gracious, fantastic, merciful, TRUE Savior.

As I stated in the title, this is Part 1 of ???. Pretty much the ??? means that I will continue to type until I dont have anything to say, which for those who know me, maybe a very long time.

This is the first of many, treat this like a trailer to that to come, when I am not sleep deprieved for my savior. Maybe as early as tomorrow afternoon.....I love suspense....



18,000+ students
One mission.
One God.






And just a side note: Everyone of you that even just glanced over this entry needs to go to WWW.XXXCHURCH.COM and find out what they are about. They are doing the Lord's work with passion and a different way to look at the world.

"Love all people for who they are, because of who they might become" Some famous person hopefully

 Well this has been a good year. Yeah I am not much into the sentemental (remember I cant spell) on phusebox...oh well

Guess what today is??????
Passion 06.....starts in less than 12 hours.....I am so excited I just cant hold it in....AHHH!!!

Hopefully sometime this week I will be able to get a new profile picture...if not oh well. This week is going to be so awesome.

I hope that I can beat 18,000 other college students and get tickets to Dave Barnes and Matt Wertz duo late night concert today.....

    As I sit here, I am thinking about how much of a drastic change my life took this week. I feel radically different. I am much happier and just seem to think about some things different. I have started to find my self, not caring at all about how other people view me, and just focusing on how God views me. He views me a His child. I am not worried about how other people look at me and I am not worried about what they have and I dont and vise versa. I know that God provides for me when I am in need and I know that He blesses me with every breath and every minute of my life. I am so blessed beyond what I deserve. He has given me life, friends, family, a home, and many other things that I can not list because of your attention span and me not wanting to type FORVER!

If the good Lord blesses me with tomorrow,
JT

"Then again, most of the world still uses Windoze, so what should i
expect, really? But it begs the question: Are most people dumb enough
to use Windoze because the education system is so poor? Or is the
education so poor because most people are dumb enough to use Windoze?
Makes you wonder…"

I found this hilarious...I am not trying to be mean to those who like or use Windows or PCs.
