life as we know it

June 22 2006
summer has been great as of now. friends are great and work is terrible. i dread every minute that i am there. and i have four ap classes worth of summer work to complete and i have not started one bit of it.
but on a more spiritual matter i have just started the barbarian way by erwin mcmanus (compliments of my big bro) and it is awesome. it really calls out the type of life and faith that i have been living lately one that is civilized and churched. it says that we should revert to our primal uncivilized pure raw faith. we have to overcome our proper churching and live by the faith that we had right when we started to believe one that is all for losing everything and not caring about onything but serving the heart of our king!!!
barbarian is to be a member of a people considered by those of another nation or group to have a primitive civilization (or faith)

live for the heart of our king!!!

Easter!!

April 10 2006
Well Easter is coming up on Sunday, so here are my thoughts on Easter.
Why, as Christians, do we put more emphasis on Christmas than we do on Easter?  Is not the day that Jesus rose from the dead more impotant than his birth?  Yes, I know his birthday is important, but our faith is based on his resurection, not his birth!  So, you would not miss or forget Christmas so don't forget the reason behind our beliefs!  Believe in Easter and recognize it for the amazing day that it is!  Jesus came back to life from the DEAD!!!!!Just think about that and then realize the magnitude of it!!  He rose from the DEAD!!!  He is alive and living and active!!  Let him move in you in this special season!!  And here is a amazing song that tells that story:   


In Christ alone my hope is found

He is my light, my strength, my song

This Cornerstone, this solid ground

Firm through the fiercest drought and storm

What heights of love, what depths of peace

When fears are stilled, when strivings cease

My Comforter, my All in All

Here in the love of Christ I stand


In Christ alone, who took on flesh

Fullness of God in helpless babe

This gift of love and righteousness

Scorned by the ones He came to save

'Till on that cross as Jesus died

The wrath of God was satisfied

For every sin on Him was laid

Here in the death of Christ I live


There in the ground His body lay

Light of the world by darkness slain

Then bursting forth in glorious Day

Up from the grave He rose again

And as He stands in victory

Sin's curse has lost it's grip on me

For I am His and He is mine

Brought with the precious blood of Christ


No guilt in life, no fear in death

This is the power of Christ in me

From life's first cry to final breath

Jesus commands my destiny

No power of hell, no scheme of man

Can ever pluck me from His hand

'Till He returns or calls me home

Here in the power of Christ I'll stand

Well I thought it was about time!!!!

New LIfe

December 09 2005
so the other night at church was awesome!  that is the most i have ever felt the presence of god in my life.  i decided that im a jerk.  not the funny kind that makes people laugh but the kind that hurts people's feelings so that is something that i need to change.  but  all i can do is just pray about it, because there is nothing that i can do about it for myself.  So if i was ever mean to you then from the bottom of my heart i am seriously sorry.  if i could take it back then trust me i would!

Life!

November 15 2005
Send us with fire to go love the world
can there be a better prayer to ask God?  What else should we want fo ourselves?  Can we really ask God for much else?  Well that is just my two cents worth.  If you can ask for more then is it really worth it?

School

September 01 2005
So I am sitting here in class and thinking about how school is terrible. I hate being here. I hate wasting 7 hours of my day sitting in a class that I will not use any of the skills that I am learning. I could teach my self the same things in like 15 minutes and not 55. I wish I could do that. And since I really have no great Christian friends here it is hard to make it through the day. So its not that much fun. So I live for going to work, goind to church, and seeing my friends. They make me tick. I don't know what I would do without them.
And on another note. GOD is awesome. I love to see how HE can move in lives and change them. And I hope that we can all feel HIS presence in our lives at some time. I can be so selfish and focused on myself. I hope and pray that HE can change me. Because I can't do it on my own.
