so yea heading out in about a hour or an hour and a half to head to mobile to get on ship for a cruise. i am freaking out because this hurrican is heading right smack dab in moblile so pray that God would calm me down and that everything will be safe. so off into the storm i go with Jesus at my side!! ttul- stephen

m-fugers have a great time in st. louis!!

So..... I just happen to wake up @ 10:00 am for once and flipped on the tv and saw that London got bombed and that pretty muh all i know. so if you have more info i would like to know. you can just message me! PRAY FOR LONDON!!

I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene
And I wonder how
He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.

How marvelous, how wonderful
And my song shall ever be.
How marvelous, how wonderful
Is my Savior's love for me.

He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calv'ry,
And suffered and died alone.

Wow! What amzing words. that should be our prayer that we would be amazed how He could love someone like me a sinner like me. God keeps on amazing me on the everyday bases. When I don't even deserve God pours down his blessings on me. What an Awesome God we Serve!! So many times i wonder why God has put me working at the church during the summer, but God has grown me so much getting able to get to know Clint and Chris better. Just the other day me and clint got to talk about some stuff that i needed to hear (clint you know) on friday and i thank God for such a man of God that He is put in my path. I think all of you who know Clint could defintly agree. When I started working at the church i was totally self centered but when i sit back and reflect i know exactly why God put there. so many times i take my friends for granted. Guys i consider you all friends. There are also some people who have really blessed my life and i thank you for that. so many of them are there when i just need someone to chat. thanks for being there when i need you all. you guys are a big blessing from God. The following words to a familar hymn are so true. HOW GREAT THOU ART!!

O Lord my God, when I, in awesome wonder Consider all the worlds
Thy hand hath made
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder
Thy pow'r throughout the universe displayed
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee
How great Thou art!
How great Thou art!

God has put you on this earth for a purpose and it is up to us in order to fulfill it. When you stand before God on judgement day what is He going to say to you or to me. Will it be Well done good and faithful servant? I know that was out of the blue but you know when you know God is speaking you just can't stop typing! Hope you have enjoyed this.

I leave you with what I said earlier:
God has put you on this earth for a purpose and it is up to us in order to fulfill it.

a idea just popped into my head leave your name in the remark and i will message you back and let you know what i think of you. kinda aqward (i don't think i spelled that right) but lets see how it turns out!!

so vbs is cool! this week i have been hanging out with clint and trevor's group for rec and then doing lights for the rallys and then bumming around for the rest of the time. so i hope everyone else had a great week. serving jesus. have a great weekend! -hambone


Would you rather be a soccer ball or a football

And I'm madly in love with You!

Let what we do in here
Fill the streets out there
Let us dance for You
Let us dance for You

All of my life and nothing less
I offer to You my Righteousness



What an awesome song that should be our prayer that when we come back from a big spiritual high like big stuf, ,m-fuge, or fall retreat that what we do in here (camp, fall retreat, etc.) that it will fill the streets back home! have a blessed day! hambone

i am really ticked off!!!! ups screweed up my delivery. i ordered a usb adapter to my ipod and it came to the distributer and then today they are shipping it back to barlett, tn (where it came from) they appoligzed and all but come on think if that was something that could help a person live or something and ups screws around and they die. so i will defintly use fedex their package came from China and got here quicker. i defintly give Fed Ex a thumbs up for their quickness.

be sure to read the below post!

WOW! Big Stuf was awesome! i have never been to a camp that amazing. dude i got to chance to hear louie gigglio and jarred herd. guys, these men of god where AWESOME. we had some INCREDABLE worship. O yea, Nathan i did in fact drool all over the sound stuff. there technology is so amazing. i can't wait already till next year. i am going to think about some quotes from the week and i will post them later today. But in the mean time go and check out Prov. 28:26. That was the key scripture of the week. Oh how could i not forget Clint Nadeau got CALLED out by Louie on tuesday morning. They were talking about people groups and clint said one nad louie said, "who are you; i like you" and clint was about to hide. it was pretty funny. louie couldn't believe that clint was 26 years old. well i got to go i think i brought back about half the sand from panama city beach.


O PRAISE THE ONE
WHO PAID MY DEBT
AND RAISED THIS LIFE
UP FROM THE DEAD

so we have two days till we head off to florida for a week! it is going to awesome. after hearing louie a couple times over the internet i can't wait to hear him in person. i haven't even started getting anything for camp. so tomorrow me and mom are making a dash to walmart to get the stuff i need! i will try to update this thing if i happen to have access to a computer! later- stephen

so i was bored and took a look of how many users we now have on phusebox and the number was yesterday 123 users. today it is 165 users. wow this going to be the bigger and better than xanga before long!

so i am watching this movie called oil storm. i watched a bit of it last night and it is sick that people who think about these bad things would happen to the US. I also think it is a wakeup call to us as americans to get out of our bubble! if you happen to see this before 9:00 then you can turn your tv to FX (CABLE CHANNEL 70) and watch it. ENJOY!

hey look its nathan's moving billboard. something new in the moore household. how much did you pay for that billboard.

just got back from a going away party for the founder of this blogging system (Nathan Moore). He is heading off the NYC to help out with a organization called New Hope New York. So if was pretty fun! met some new people that was cool and all. So that is all!

Ok I know they are probably the worst team in the league at this time but watch out they could end up being the 2003 Marlins of today. The Marlins started off really bad but whenever they got Jack McKeon they became this awesome baseball team. A team that was not over 500 at all and at the basement of the NL East comes back and wins the World Series. The KC Royals fired their manager AND pitching coach. I mean fire the manager but don't fire a pitching coach what did they do. While they were at it why don't they fire the hitting coach. Becuase hitting is equal or almost the smae as pitching. I wouldn't count the Royals out YET!!!

Is this the Richmond Braves or the Atlanta Braves? I have never seen so many rookies on a roster ever. Just think about it. You could easily come up with a descent team that is in their 1st or 2nd year.

Oh yea ..... DAN KOLB NEEDS TO GO!!!

now i think i will go yoddel !!!!!!!

so i have got this site up and going with post and pictures and all the other stuff! i have to say there are man ways that phusebox is a whole lot better than xanga. nathan it is amazing to see how good this look and how far this has come along within a couple weeks. This is defintly a good idea! GREAT JOB!

Hey everyone,
I went to the hospital this afternoon to sit with Liz's family for awhile. When I arrived Chris' brother, Willie, shared great news with me. Liz had made a huge step forward!! They were able to get her off the ventilator and she was talking! I was able to go back and see her. When she saw me at the door she said, "Heeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!" I was overwhelmed with joy to see her so alert!!! She is known on the ICU floor as the miracle woman!!! God is so great! We visited for a few minutes. I told her that everyone had been praying for her and she said to tell everyone thank you. She actually ask me how Rick Driver was doing. I had ask her to pray for him and was amazed that she would think of him after the week she has had. That is an example of what a wonderful and thoughtful person that she is. She may get to go to a regular room tomorrow and then it will be a week or so before she goes home. Please continue to pray that her body will strengthen day by day and that she will not try to do too much too soon. Pray for her boys and her husband, Chris. Thank you for your faithfulness to pray!
