What if you never got a chance to see me ever again? What if I died tonight?

Would you come to my funeral?



Would you cry?



Would you forget me?



Would you bring me flowers?



How would you respond?



What would be going through your head?



Would you regret anything you said to me?



Would you regret anything you didn't say to me?



What would be your last memory of me?



What would you remember me by?

I BETTER GET SOME RESPONSES!!!!

So today was cool! just got back from practice. so yea thursday is one club and i am leading worship and what were going to do is clint is speaking or we are having a worship day! yea so i was picking out some songs and i came upon this old hymn and it really spoke to me. the song just happen to be on the new passion cd. Its called "How Marvelous" the lyrics are so cool. so yea after much thought and prayer i have my set list for thursday already made. which is glorious because i am one of those last minute type of guys. yea i know what your thinking, "last minutes things are not good" so yea! thats pretty much it. i guess i will leave you with a request just pray for me i am really like confused and wanting to be at church but school stuff is taking over till the 1st of may so i guess thats why one club is in my life. Well i guess i will leave with the chorus to my new favorite song:

O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
O how marvelous! O how wonderful!
Is my Savior's love for me!

good friday! not only a day off of school but i time to reflex. WOW! we actually get a day out for a christian holiday! so yea Today during the day i have thought, "self, where would jesus be in the process at this hour." So today besides your homework you are doing (yeah right) take some time and reflex on what Christ has done for you. I like the words of a message i got on myspace, "When Jesus was on the cross..... You were on his mind!" It so cool to know that when Jesus was on the cross he had you, me, Osama, Saddam, and everyone else on his mind. HE DIED FOR ME!!

They took Jesus, therefore, and He went out, bearing His own cross, to the place called the Place of a Skull, which is called in Hebrew, Golgotha. 18There they crucified Him, and with Him two other men, one on either side, and Jesus in between. Pilate also wrote an inscription and put it on the cross. It was written, "JESUS THE NAZARENE, THE KING OF THE JEWS." Therefore many of the Jews read this inscription, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city; and it was written in Hebrew, Latin and in Greek.So the chief priests of the Jews were saying to Pilate, "Do not write, 'The King of the Jews'; but that He said, 'I am King of the Jews.'" Pilate answered, "What I have written I have written." Then the soldiers, when they had crucified Jesus, took His outer garments and made four parts, a part to every soldier and also the tunic; now the tunic was seamless, woven in one piece. So they said to one another, "Let us not tear it, but cast lots for it, to decide whose it shall be"; this was to fulfill the Scripture: "THEY DIVIDED MY OUTER GARMENTS AMONG THEM, AND FOR MY CLOTHING THEY CAST LOTS."

Matthew Goodman wrote a song this week and i am putting it to music so that is fun! really its really cool. so yea have an awesome weekend! later- stephen

Falling on my knees in worship
Giving all I am to seek Your face
Lord all I am is is Yours

My whole life I place in Your hands
God of mercy Humbled I bow down
In your presence at Your throne

In my life be lifted high
In our world be lifted high
In our love be lifted high

WOW!! such powerful lyrics! i love this song and the words of the bridge. i really want that to be my prayer that in my world be lifted high. so pretty much in everything i do let my life glorify YOU!! last week while we were in mexico we had that everything was centered around Christ. but since we are back in the "real world." let my life be one that would glorify God! well later- stephen
