Hey Guys

September 10 2005

I am sitting here in my dorm room and just decided that I would let you guys know whats going on. I got back today from a church retreat with Calvary Baptist Church. We left yesterday and went to Camp Carson, somewhere near Newport,Tn.

It was amazing....I met so many awesome people and I got some things straight with God that had been bothering me. It is so cool that when you get down in life and feel so alone, God will provide for you. I had a horible day on Friday and had to force myself to go on the retreat last night. I am so glad that I went.

On a side note, I broke my finger on the retreat during a game that we played. This guy named Wes went for the same "ball" that I did and he hit my right ring finger. The joint right above my knuckle bent all the way back, and I think that it broke. It is all black, blue, and really swollen. But oh well, it will remind me of the awesome weekend that I had.

I am so glad that God lead me to Calvary Baptist. It is such a great place. In the morning, I am going to start working on the tech team, playing with the sound and mostly video. I think that it is going to be really good for me. * I am going to convert them to MACS* -dont tell them.....Lol

Well I hope that everyone is doing good and that nobody is getting into any trouble down there.

P.S. I won the lottery for student tickets to LSU on the 24th, so I am really happy about that, watch for me on TV....

P.S.S- Can somebody get me the information for China this Christmas? I really think that God is wanting me to go. You can mail the information or any mail that you want to me at:

* I would love to recieve mail from anybody!!


Later,
Jason

Hey, dude. Been a while. I have battle scars from the belle aire retreat, too. I left my face at the bottom of a pool. Nothing serious, just got scraped up a little. So what is it with retreats and battle wounds? Hmmm...One of those psycho mysteries of life, I guess.
