i don't know what we're yelling about!

Can we as human beings here on earth be perfect? What do you think?

2006-05-22T14:47:00.000-07:00

Yeah, I went and saw the Davinci Code.
The movie itself was not any good, not to mention the entire scene where Lee talked about Jesus not being God. The movie kept building and bulding, like something was going to happen, and nothing happened.

dude we are at the D-now and we just finished setting up "Bob" he is our table man. This was a completely new idea for a D-now. Last night we played a game and there were 7 actors and 9 clue sites and the kids had one hour to go around to all the different clue sites and fill out a question sheet.
It was all related to apologetics. The actors all said their lines and were not allowed to answer questions.
I was the archeologist and the most intersting thing that I talked about was that, in all of the pictures of the tomb of jesus we see 2 guards there with wooden spears and mini-skirts. But what actually happened was that there was a Roman guard unit placed at the tomb. This was a force of 16 men that were trained to protect a 6 foot square each. These guys were trained to protect against an entire battalion. They all slept in shifts as well. 4 of them would sleep for four hours, and then wake up and relieve 4 more guys. also if they did fall asleep on the job and the body was stolen they would have all been beheaded.

this was part of what I talked about and all of it so cool. the docter and the nurse, Mrs. Beckey and Angela, talked about medicle conditions that Jesus experienced, the astronamer talked about the eclipse that happened when jesus died.
It was awsome. It was a great way to get the kids pumped about this D-now.

Spiritual Maturity

2006-04-07T09:22:00.000-07:00

Therefore let us leave elementary teachings about Christ and go on to maturity, Hebrews 6:1a
I did not like my Sunday School class. I'm not going to say who the teacher was but it was my junior and senior year. All we did was the things I did in the 2nd grade. we had our neat little Bible story about David and the teacher would ask us now who helped David kill Goliath, God did, good job class. Then he would wonder why no one answerd questions in class. I can tell you the answers to every one of his questions without even knowing what the question is, God, Jesus, The Bible, Yes, and No. I teach Junior high boys (the class formorly known as Kdawgs class), and that is one thing that I will try to avoid at all costs. I dont want to ask questions that have the Sunday School answers. I want to challenge my class as well as myself. I want to strive for spiritual maturity.

Part Well you get the idea

2006-04-06T08:01:00.000-07:00

Wow Again!!!!! I am never as amaized as when someone gets saved. But when seven or eight people get saved. that just gets me overwehlmed. I love leading people to Christ. I am kind of new at standing up front in service, and the first time I got to pray with someone to recieve christ was three weeks ago, But I love it. Two brothers came up last night and we talked for a long time. They were from completely different backgrounds than me. I was always the good kid. My family was middle class 3 bed-room 2 bath house, a family pet, and 2 1/2 kids. These guys had a really rough childhood. They had both been involved in drugs and the older one had been in and out of jail. No real role models, as far as parents. They had nothing growing up, but now they have Jesus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Power of the Holy Spirit Amaizes Me . . . Part Deux

2006-03-27T20:12:00.000-08:00

Two weeks ago a guy walked into S.N.A.C. (Sunday night after church), it's just a fun time to hang out with friends on a Sunday night. Anyway, the guy walks into First Baptist Tillmans Corner wearing gothic clothes, and if thats not strange enough. He has on a gas mask and he is being lead around by a leash.
Weird.

I saw him as he walked in and thought to myself that this could be either really good or REALLY BAD! I went up to him and introduced myself, and others in the youth group did the same thing. I talked to him for a while before he ever said anything to me . . . because he had a gas mask on. Over the next few weeks he was up in the Attik alot. He was starting to make friends which was awesome in itself.
I found out alot of stuff about him. He is a high school drop-out, he has a bad family life, he has been in and out of jail alot, and his grandmother who he lives with is a Jehovas Witness. Pretty much he's been through alot.
He had been saying in every spiritual conversasion we had was that he was already saved, which I just knew wasn't true. There was absolutely no evidence that he had a relationship with God.

Wensday night during invatation he came down to the front and asked me to pray with him to recieve Christ. PRAISE GOD!!!!!!!!!!
He was the first person that I have ever been able to pray with for salvation. It was so amaizing.

God is Awesome

2006-03-08T20:28:00.000-08:00

Tonight I was talking to a friend, and for some reason I started talking about the moutains. We were talking about the stars. I love Going to the mountains and looking at the stars. There are so many of them. Its like Black Mold. I know thats a really wierd metephor, but its what I know. Black mold whenh it grows has a center point and just spreds everywhere. It goes and extends and almost fills up the entire wall. Thats what the stars look like without the city lights. thats why I love going to the moutains. You see the stars and you think how could anyone think of that; all the way up there, and then you see things that are even more unbelivable. You go up on the top of a mountain, above the tree line, and you can see for miles. You can see North Carolina and Tennesee. You're in Georgia but you can see all the way to to a different State. You can see Rolling hills, You can see moutains, Then you realize That you are 4,000 Feet above your house.

WOW!!!!

2006-03-05T20:21:00.000-08:00

Tonight was an awesome service. the messege was pretty good, but the real awesomeness was in the invatation. Instead of people coming down to recive prayer from the ministers, Bro. Greg had all the ministers and staff and deacons stand at the front, and people came to pray for them.
It was just really refreshing to have people come and pray for me. And all the kids that came to just say thank you. Tonight I had 3 adults come pray for me, and 6 youth come to just thank me. It was so awesome.

It is just so refreshing to see and hear tangable evidence that I am making a difference.

Follow Me, But . . . Dont Follow Me!

2006-03-01T23:06:00.000-08:00

I appeal to you, brothers, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, that all of you agree with one another so that there may be no divisions among you and that you may be perfectly united in mind and thought.
What I mean is this. One of you says, "I follow Paul"; another, "I follow Apollos"; another, "I follow Cephas"; still another, "I follow Christ."
Is Christ divided? Was Paul crucified for you? Were you baptized into the name of Paul?
1 Corinthians 1:10,12-13

I love this passage besause it hits so close to home. Look around how many denomonations are there in Mobile alone. It would take a year of Sundays to visit every denomonation. Why do we have so many? Who is really right? Who sets the standard? Is it the Pope, John Calvin, Martin Luther, or Billy Graham? Do we set our own standards? Should there even be standards?
Why cant we all just get along?
Who do we follow?

Follow my example, as I follow the example of Christ.
1 Corinthians 11:1

I dont think Paul was telling people to follow him. In all of the rest of my reading of this book I havent found anything to support that. Paul here is telling the people of Corinth to follow Christ. Do what I am doing, but dont follow me, is what paul is telling people.

So we shouldnt follow Calvin, Luther, Graham, or even Paul. there is only one person to ever walk on this earth and not sin. It wasnt any of the people I listed earlier It was Christ, and that is who we should be following.

2006-02-28T18:14:00.000-08:00

I'm Back

and tired so I'll post later

2006-02-23T20:23:00.000-08:00

Therefore, I urge you, brothers, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God—this is your spiritual act of worship. Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.
Romans 12:1-2

These are the verses that I have been sort of pounding into the heads of all the people in my sunday school class. (I teach JH boys, K-Dawgs old class). This is what I want my life to become like. I want to get to the point where I can truely say that I am offering my body as a living sacrifice. I can truely say that I am not conformed by the world, and that I have been transformed by the renewing of my mind.

Offer your body as a living sacrifice. To be completly surrendered , completly broken, and completly God's. I talked about what a sacrifice was Sunday.

A spotless lamb that was brought to the alter. The lamb came in complete obedience. It didnt put up a fight. It didnt even whine and complain about being sacrificed. It came in complete and total submision.

That is how I desire to serve my God.

If Only

2006-02-22T21:40:00.000-08:00

Wouldn't it have been some kind of awesome to have been there to see Jesus accend into heaven? Wow! I wish I could have been there. Acts 1 gives an acount of his ascension. In verses 10-11 it says

"They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them. "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."

When Jesus ascended into heaven all of the people that were with him starred into heaven. I can just imagine them with their jaws dropped to the ground and a glazed look in their eyes. Looking kind of like, "What just happened?"

Then, right when you think you've reached a ten on the wierd stuff-o-meter, Two angels pop out of no where.

These angels tell them, "Why do you stand here looking into the sky?" Like, HEY!!! dont just stand here and look up go out to the city and tell everybody what just happened guys. You cant just sit here and keep this a secert. This same Jesus who was taken from you into the sky will return someday. Go tell everyone about this so that they to will be prepared.

There is a disease going around. Its has been around for a while. This disease will effect every person who is born into the world. The scientific name for this diseases is "sin". The final result of this disease is DEATH.
But, there is hope. there is a cure for this disease. One large does of Jesus Christ is all that you need. We have an unlimited supply of the cure for the most deadly disease in the history of the world. Dont be stingy with it. Go out and share it with the world.

2006-02-21T20:40:00.000-08:00

The other day I started a group on Facebook.com (facebook is a website for college students only. It helps you keep in touch with people that you went to high school with, and people that go to yours and all other colleges in America)

Anyways I started the group "I love Jesus" cause I'm corney like that. Well when you set these things up you have all the administrative abilities. One of which is the ability to control who can join your group. You can have an invitation only group, a closed group which means that you have to request to join then I have to approve you, or you can have an open group (which is anyone that wants to join can.)

I accidently set this group up to be a closed group, and when I got a request set to me to join the group I realized what had happened.

I am just so thankful that Jesus doesnt have a "by invatation only" or a "closed" group. His group is open and so are his arms. he wants everyone to come to him and join his group.

Just as Moses lifted up the snake in the desert, so the Son of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in him may have eternal life. "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.
John 3:14-17

REALLY, REALLY BAD WEEK!!!!!

2006-02-14T08:48:00.000-08:00

First off I tried sending an email to you mrs. tammy

Ok Sunday morning, my car broke down on the way to church. So I borrow my dads car but I am still late for church (I teach Sunday School 1st hour too). Tuesday, the car that I am borrowing gets a flat tire on campus (I dont live on campus and its like a 30 min drive). Wensday I get pulled over because my dads car has an expired tag. Nothing happens Thursday and Friday I fixed my car . . . things are turning around . . . right, WRONG!!!
Saturday evening around 5:15 I am on my way to Winter Jam. I am on Three Notch, all I see is a SUV (she told me later that she almost hit the 2 girls already) She was in the left lane and from what I could tell she had just pulled out of Neighbors and was going slow, but she was stopped because there was a girl still in the middle lane. I dont know if the lady waved the girl on or if the girl just figured she'd go without looking, but I was about 20-25 ft. behind the SUV when the girl ran out from in front of it into my lane. She made it about 2 steps in my lane and just Froze. I hit her going maybe 30-35 mph.
She broke her leg but no serious injuries, thank God
I am Fine by the way.

Now to finish up my week. Brent was supposed to prepare a lesson for Sunday Morning. He called me at 8:00 Sunday morning, and said he was throwing up real bad, and he couldnt make it. I hadnt even looked at what we were going to talk about. Sio I had 1 hour to prepare for Sunday School. Then after church I go out to my dads car again (because mine has a broken windshield now), and the battery is dead. I guess that can just be th capper on my week.

BUT THERE IS GOOD NEWS, and no I didnt save money on my car insurance.
Through all of this God has kept a smile on my face, and my wonderful friends have kept me encouraged. I dont know what I would do without the hope that God has given me. I dont think I would be smiling without it. I would probably be a little bitter with everything that has hapened. Besides if I think I'm having a bad week all I have to do is look at Jesus on the cross, for me. If there is someone out there that loves me that much, how dare I say I'm having a BAD week.

yea, yea, I know it's been a while, BUT I am posting again.

I am happily at the university of mobile, and am actually in class right now. this class is boring. CIS 100. It is like, take my hand and I'll help you walk through computers. oh well. Maybe I'll make an A. I like all my classes for the most part. My favorite class is going to be Christian World View. We are going to read the entire new and most of the old testaments. We will also read alot of Total Truth by Nancy Pearcy and Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis. I hate reading but I think I will like this

2006-01-05T12:52:00.000-08:00

I GOT ACCEPTED TO MOBILE!!!!

2005-12-22T10:29:00.000-08:00

The last 2 days have been simply amaizing.
Twan called me the other day and asked if I wanted to go see Narnia with him and some of his friends. I met his friends and they were awesome. Yes they were female .... and pretty good looking, but thats so far from why they were cool. they are all three just in love with the Lord. I found it really encouraging just to be around all of them. Twan is such a great kid and I hope that I will be able to room with him at Mobile. Everytime we hang out I have a great time.

Last night was the best though. The three girls live in Mississipi and last night we went to Ali's house with the addition of Andrew. We watched about half of Napolian Dynomite (Not a great movie by the way) and then we went into her bedroom, and we just started to sing praises then we started praying and we sang some more. Then we prayed and sang some more. This went on for about 4 hours. We didnt leave till about 2:15. It was such an encouraging experience.

Hert of a Champion

2005-12-13T20:35:00.000-08:00

When I think of champions the first thing that comes to my mind is

the White Sox, World Series Champions
USC nation title winners 2 years in a row (about to be 3)
Alabama's 12 national championships .... (auburn doesnt have any)
and The Bulls' won the championship like 7 times in the 90's

when I think of people as champions the same trend is followed

Michael Jordan ....... you get the picture

All of these have one thing in common. The people involved in these teams have spent their lives devoted to playing sports. when they were little michael's and pedro's and mark's they were signed up for park ball they went out to the basketball couts in the park and they went to summer camp to learn how to pass and catch and block and run and hit and shoot and dribble. set up the screen wether in basketball or football. Cover the bunt throw down to second. Whatever it was.

Today I was reading about a true champion. David
David was your normal everyday shepherd boy who had never gone to war. Never planned on going to war. David had not trained his whole life. He didnt go to Hebrew War Camp when he was five. There was no off-season training. There wasnt even any in-season training.

David was not a "warrior"
Well you know the story. He just "happened to be there" at the battle, and he heard Goliath mocking God and Isreal. For 40 days he had been coming out, once in the morning and once in the evening.
Finally word gets back to Saul that there is someone who wants to meet the challenge set by Goliath. So Saul sends for David. When David meets with Saul, David tells him. "Let no one lose heart on account of this Philistine; your servant will go and fight him" (you know the rest)

The reason that David stand out to me as the "Ultimate Champion" is because he had a willingness to serve in whatever it was that God called him to. It would have been so easy for David to say,
"God, this guy is nine feet tall, he has been fighting and studying war since he was a boy. Goliath is a Philistine war machine. There is no way that I can beat him. I'm just a shepherd."

But He Didn't!!!
He was willing to serve and God blessed him for it.

2005-12-06T10:39:00.000-08:00

This quote is strictly for those blessed by God to be born in a zip code beginning with 366. The birthplace of Mardi Gras, Jimmy Buffett, and Hank Aaron. High school frats and sororities. Situated perfectly between the water and the woods, no town in America can approach the undeniable superiority that Mobile exudes. New Orleans, Savannah, and Charleston may be pretty cool- for a weekend, but none of them can match the sheer greatness of Mobile and its citizens. And always remember, you are better than everyone from anywhere else without exception, and if they beg to differ ...... ask if their town has a battleship? Didn't think so

2005-11-29T20:32:00.000-08:00

Well .... tonight was fun. I went to south and played Ultimate Frisbee tonight and we got there and there were a bunch of guys there who didnt play. And by that I mean they were serious. They had about 7 frisbee's. there were 11 of them and 8 of us. We played 7 on 7. Which meant that they had plenty of people to rotate in and out. ...We didnt. Especially when one of our players left. They had two guys that were about 5'5". They werent really fast but they would cut back and forth like a pin ball ......... ding ding ding didididididididing. You cant defend that.

I tripped ove a guys leg one time and I felt real sharp pains in the ankle that I broke last year. It scared me real bad but I kept playing. It still hurts, but oh well I'll live. My legs are ssssssoooooooo sore!!!!!

I played good and most of the team played good but we lost and that always sux. If you havent noticed Ihate to lose. We could have beaten those guys. we matched up pretty even ... they probably had a bit of an advantage, but that shouldnt have been a problem.

They kept trying to talk to me during the game. Saying stuff like good catch and my bad. Nothing really just small sportsman talk. I Hate that. When I am playing against you dont talk to me cause all I am thinking about is ripping your head off and shuving it down your neck. ....... (Did I mention I am competative.)

Well Im going to go pass out now. I tired

2005-11-28T15:07:00.000-08:00

I am back.
Guys you may resume your jealousy, and girls you may gawk once again.

2005-11-25T20:42:00.000-08:00

Well its going to be a bone chilling 65 degrees tonight; followed by a high around 85 tomorrow. ( eat your heart out Angela) There wont be a cloud in the sky. The weather down here in sunny south Florida is absolutly wonderful. I would stay if it werent for the overabundance of yankee's and the lack of such basic nesecities as sweet tea and Waffle House. They do have grits from what I hear, but the lady at IHOP forgot to bring them. and No, Waffle House and IHOP are not the same thing. If you were thinking that may God punish you in a way that he sees proper. We are staying in a pretty nice appartment on Hollywood blvd. We got in last night at around 6:00 and me and my dad went on a search for anything that was open. All we found was Golden Corral (the golden trough), a Boston Market that was out of meat (kind of pointless), and a Chinese place. The decision wasnt very hard. So we had Chinese Thanksgiving.

Tonight the choices for food was not quite as difficult. We went to Thira. A Greek resturaunt that was simply amaizing. I had youvisti, which was a lamb leg (shank ... I think) and some pasta ( dont know what the pasta was called). It was basically a lamb leg on top of a plate of pasta. We also got a salad. It was weird to say the least. It combined a bunch of stuff that I dont really care for and a viniger sauce. It was surprisingly very good. We oficially declared that tonight was our Thanksgiving Meal. Well hope y'all are having a great time and hope to see you all soon.
keep in touch

2005-11-20T21:40:00.000-08:00

EVERYONE!!! I have an anouncement! Please take your seats; you'll need to. The "HAKA DANCE" www.trinitytrojanfootball.com/multimedia.htm is comimg to town. You have to check this out! it is quite possibly the single most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life! Please check it out. it is well worth the 45 seconds.

Kevin being a former football player, you will most definatly be the one who appreciates this as much as me. But none the less it's for everyone. Even y'all Angela and Whitney.

There is nothing worse than when you are going in circles. You work so hard and get nowhere.

You know K-Dawg was right. Blogging is theraputic. Every time I try to complain I realize that I'm stupid and dont really have anything to complain about. I have so much to be thankfull for.

Well now that, that's over.
It was a dark night as i was leaving towards my friend gregs house.
HAHA
I'm so funny. I should be a comidian.

2005-11-15T23:25:00.000-08:00

Well, tonight was the last flag football game that I will ever play at South. I am gona play at Mobile though for sure. But none the less, we did not win one single game. Not one person came and cheered for our team (Angela and Whit j/k). I'm like kevin, in that I'm very very competitive. When I was going out with Rachel we played h-o-r-s-e, which is when you try to make a shot that the other person cant make. I beat her every time. One time I was losing so I dunked it, knowing that she couldnt jump as high as I could, so that I would win. She never played with me again, because she was also very competitive. Flag football was fun, and I played as hard as I could every play. For that I have no regrets. I just wish we could have WON A GAME! After the game tonight I did about the same thing I did after Alabama's loss. I sat on the field in silence for about 2 minutes. I felt like I was going to throw up.

If I was told that I could play on the same team over again, or not wouldn't be able to play at all. I would play again with the risk of not winning, because I love to compete.

2005-11-15T23:00:00.000-08:00

I went for an eye exam today, and let me tell ya. That is one test that you do not want to fail. You will end up with those big coke bottle glasses, and then people will make fun of you when you go to class, and they'll be like "why the thick glasses"? "I failed the eye exam man."

I'm hoping that when the scan-trons come back it'll be good. I'm hoping for a B+. I know I didnt get an A because I couldn't read below the 3rd line with my right eye. I got all the way to the bottom with the left though.

Just a few things to think about

Two armed boats approached the Seabourn Spirit (search) about 100 miles off the coast of Somalia (search) and fired as the boats' occupants attempted to get onboard, said Bruce Good, a spokesman for Miami-based Seabourn Cruise Line, a subsidiary of Carnival Corp.

The ship outran them and changed its course.

"Our suspicion at this time is that the motive was theft," Good said, adding that the crew had been trained for "various scenarios, including people trying to get on the ship that you don't want on the ship."

The attackers never got close enough to board the Spirit, but one member of the 161-person crew was injured by shrapnel, said Debrah Natansohn, president of the cruise line.

Press Association, the British news agency, said passengers awoke to the sound of gunfire as two 25-foot inflatable boats approached the liner.

Edith Laird of Seattle (search), who was traveling on the ship with her daughter and a friend, told British Broadcasting Corp. TV in an e-mail that her daughter saw the pirates out of their window.

"There were at least three rocket-propelled grenades that hit the ship, one in a state room," Laird wrote. "We had no idea that this ship could move as fast as it did and (the captain) did his best to run down the pirates."

The vessel's 151 passengers, mostly Americans with some Australians and Europeans, were gathered in a lounge for their safety, Good said. None were injured.

The Spirit had been bound for Mombasa, Kenya, at the end of a 16-day voyage from Alexandria, Egypt. It was expected to reach the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean on Monday, and then continue on its previous schedule to Singapore, company officials said.

The 10,000-ton cruise ship, registered in the Bahamas, sustained minor damage, Good said. "They took some fire, but it's safe to sail," he said.

Piracy along the Somalia coast is common — several ships a month are attacked or hijacked, with valuables stolen and crews held for ransom.

Somalia's 1,880-mile coastline is Africa's longest, and the country has had no effective central government since opposition leaders ousted dictator Mohamed Siad Barre in 1991. They then turned on each other, transforming this nation of 7 million into a patchwork of battling fiefdoms ruled by heavily armed militias.

I went to the Shane and Shane, David Crowder concert last night, and it was amazing.

I was working on the house that we are about to sell all day long. I put in a new dishwasher, fixed the door that goes into the garage from the back yard. (stupid little hoodlems kicked in the door). Did I mention this house isn't in one of the nicer neighborhoods in Mobile. an I also put up a fence that got blown away during Katrina and put in a new kitchen floor (I AM FINALLY DONE).

Anyways! as I was finishing and cleaning up i saw that Laci had called me. I thought that was weird so I called her back and she was like "Hey yall are comin to the concert tonight, right?
No we couldnt get anyone to turn in any money.
Really I have a FREE TICKET!!

this made me happy.
I rushed to finish what I was doing and hurried down the saenger theater. (after taking a shower of course)
I met a whole bunch of people, and I saw friends that I haven't seen since the nineth grade. It was GREAT! The music was awesome the people were cool, and I also met "And Shane" from "Shane and Shane". He was a pretty cool guy.

Give Up!!
You'll never win!!
It's futile to resist!!
If you have plans of your own they aren’t going to work. So don’t even try to work things out, because they wont ever work out.
Your plans for yourself might not be the plans that God has for you, and if they are not, then they are the wrong plans and they will never work out. God has a plan for you and that is the plan that you should seek after. Not your own agenda.
I am a quitter…. And I have never been happier about it. I have finally stopped my living for God when it is convenient. I gave up my plans to be a business major and get my real estate license and open up small businesses.
I pray that the rest of you will give up, and be quitters just like me.

Sunday I get to teach two sunday school classes and I'm really excited. I get to teach K-Dawgs as well as mine and Mr. Rays. I'm not sure what I will talk about yet though I havent had the opportunity to slow down enough. I pretty much have my school work done for this week now. I have to lay tile at our house in Navco, and fix the fence out there. And after that I will have time to slow down and get into a study without the naging (gota write a speech ect.). I really appreciate the prayers of everyone. It's allways great to know that there are people who are behind you to help you if you stumble. It's also great to know that even if there werent people ther that God is there and he will never leave you or forsake you.

Okay, so I went to that web site on Angela's blog, and I took a bunch of quizzes. One of the quizzes that I took was a color quiz. mine was surrprisingly close to describing me.

you are violet

Your dominant hues are red and blue. You're confident and like showing people new ideas. You play well with others and can be very influential if you want to be.

Your saturation level is lower than average - You don't stress out over things and don't understand people who do. Finishing projects may sometimes be a challenge, but you schedule time as you see fit and the important things all happen in the end, even if not everyone sees your grand master plan.

Your outlook on life is bright. You see good things in situations where others may not be able to, and it frustrates you to see them get down on everything

Rate the acurracy of this on my tagboard.

I went to the homecoming game last night for my first time as an alumni. We got browneis and little glass bottles of coke. it was a really close and intense game but we lost. I just wish that I could've been out there. I miss football and basesball more than anything else about high school. maybe I'll get to play baseball some more, and I'm playing flag football on tuesday night up at south.l Yeah, it's not quite the same, but it's football......kinda.
after the football game last night, greg and danny came over and we ate Ramen Noodles and played ping pong. it was alot of fun me and greg are good but danny stinks. I only beat greg once but they were all close games.
I think I'm gona change my major. Which will mean changing alot more than just that. So keep me in your prayers your all in mine.

YANKEES LOOSE!! HIP HIP, HORAY!!
I have two teams that I love in major league baseball. The Braves and whoever beats the yankees.
I HATE THE YANKEES!!
I think the white sox are going all the way this year. but thats just me...........and anyone else who knows baseball.

I'm thinking about going in a different dirrection than what I'm going right now. I am not sure about what I am feeling. I'm thinking about drastically changing my major, but I'm going to wait for God to tell me what to do
Ya'll please keep me in your prayers because tis could piotentially be a life changing move.
I love to serve the Lord in whatever way I can, wether it's running the sound, cafe', helping out in the attik, or reading my bible or praying. I have an interview at the mug tomorrow at 3:30 and I'll probably get the job, I'm prett confident. I hope that I get the job not for the money but because i went there on friday night. I saw all different types of people there punks, preps, people who, like me, cant be classified. All of whom need to see the love of Christ.
The last few months I have kind of stretched myself thin just trying to help in any way that I could. At times it has been tough, but over all it has been a blessing to me, and I hope that I have blessed those around me. I am grateful to k-dawg for showing me how to have a servants heart. I really feel like I am growing in my relationship with Christ, and want to help everyone around me grow as well.

I love you all, and God bless.

Last night was a lot of fun. First of all the choir and Ram Corps was awesome. after church I hung around with andrew and I got to meet alot of hisq UM friends. They were all really nice then a big group of us were going to out to eat. We were in te parking lot and they were talking about goiong somewhere in Saraland because none of them knew what was in Tillmans Corner. Of course if they had gone to Saraland that would've kinda left me hangin out to dry. So I suggested that we go to El Toro. We all had a great time.
I am normaly really bad with names, especially if I'm meeting a bunch of people, but last night I remembered everybody. They were so cool how could I forget
Bekah liked to burp. Michelle had stuff in her braces (not really you just had to be there). Rachel is my ex-girlfriends name. Sarah Beth and Emily kissed stangers (not really you just had to be there). Ashley.... well I didnt find out to much about her, she was on the other side of the table. Megan played softball. And Stuart Little (yes that is really his name) starred in a movie. Also appering at El Toro were Twan, Andrew, Brent, and Brittany Brown.
Now you might be noticing that most of these people are females......well thats because they were. It was Awesome. This was truely the first time that I've been glad to be single, and it gave me hope for the future telling me that, hey there are girls out there that are fun and not sluts

Forgiveness

2005-10-08T21:06:00.000-07:00

Have you ever had anyone hurt you, stab you in in the back, or betray your trust? Of course, crap happens. What is our general response when this happens? All too often it is a response that it shouldn't be. Maby you hear of someones faults and immediatly you say, I thought that person was a christian. For example, "good christian Suzy" says or does something wrong. Immediatly we jump on it, blow it out of proportion, start rumors, and before you know it "good christian Suzy" has been run off.
There is nothing that I hate more than this. Why did we run off "good christain Suzy"? She screwed up. EVERYONE screws up!
"Good christian Sally" has a new boyfriend, but I dont think he's a christian."
"Well I'm not hanging out with her any more."
Why do we shun those who need us most? Why cant we look past someones screw up? Why are we so judgemental? Why cant we see that, this persons heart is in the right place but they are just stumbling a bit?
When a christian stumbles, that is the time that they need other christians the most. No one likes to fall, but what's even worse is when you fall, and there is no one to help you up. In fact the people who you thought would pick you up are now kicking you while your down. Thats NOT the love of Christ.

2005-10-05T19:55:00.000-07:00

There are probably two people that I have ever "SHARED MY FEELINGS WITH". One of them moved to gulf port when we were in junior high.

I'm not talking about "Oh man I think I like "angeney" she's cute". I mean like, how I actually feel. mad, sad, happy, confused.....well I'm always confused about something, but you get the picture.

Am I too closed? Should I be able to talk about my feelings?
The answer is a resounding, NO!!!
only gay guys share their feelings (no offense, I have NO problem with gay guys)

The thing is, I like it when people ask me if something is wrong (if there is something wrong, otherwise it's really anoying) but I will say there is nothing wrong (if there is something wrong) and act very annoyed, but what I am really saying is, keep asking.
Do I just love the attention that much?
Of Course!!! If anyone says that they don't like attention they are lying.

I'm always happy around others. I have only really not been happy aroud others once in recent history, and that was when Rachel showed up at church with Melly after she had been ignoring me for seeveral weeks.............Man I was pissed that night, but we broke up, and I was fine after that. We went to El Toro after that, all was well...or so it seemed. I had wished for the relationship to be over, but when it happened, it sucked. No one at El Toro that night saw how much it sucked. As much as I wanted to cry, I was just happy Neil, nothing different.

I think I'm thinking way too much, I think?

this is me venting

things are just so frustrating

Letting Go

2005-10-02T22:30:00.000-07:00

Why is letting go so hard? I want to control everything that happens. I don't want to let things drift. Everything is supposed to happen because I made it happen. Sometimes you can control things. I like to "take the bull by the horns". Most of the time this stratagy works, but there are some things that you just have no control over. The bull is just to powerful to take by the horns, and if you did try to take it by the horns it would toss you across the field. In those situations you just have to learn to let things happen, drift down-stream with no ideah where youre going. You just have to trust God that you will end up in a favorable place.

I just dont like to let go or feel like im not in control

LIFE IS CONFUSING

2005-09-30T23:10:00.000-07:00

Today was a really busy day. I had a test in my Business class. In my speech class I had to do a commemorative speech. I did my speech on chris from the red cross, and I think I did really good. In my history class I had to turn in a topic and a work cited page.
I didnt think of a person to commemorate untill last night, and I didnt have a topic For my history paper till bout 10:30 today. But I got it all done as usual.
I am the king of procrastination. Not because I just procrastinate way more than anyone else, because I try not to. But every time I do procrastinate i allways seem to get everything done. The thing is I hate procrastinating. Well Whatever!!!

Girls are Confusing!!!!!!!!!

2005-09-26T00:00:00.000-07:00

You know I dont pretend to know everything there is to know about girls, and the reason for that is............... I know NOTHING about girls. Some people are what we like to call.......... "intuitive". Which means, basically, that they can pick up on hidden meanings and stuff like that.
I'm not that guy. You, pretty much, have to slap me in the face and tell me somthing. Cause if you try to be subliminal, or descrete. Chances are that I wont pick up on it.

Now dont get me wrong. I have my moments of brilliance, but dont hold your breath.

I just wish that someone would come along and just tell me a little bit about what it is that girls really like. Girls send so many mixed messages.

"I want to be independent and free..... I want to be protected".........huh?.........what?........I'm so confused!!!

WHY CAN'T THINGS JUST BE SIMPLE!!!!!!! ..........I like simple.

They say that the catch is only as good as the thrill of the chase.
Well that theory STINKS!!
I hate chasing after things.

There was this quaterback that played for Monroe, and that dude was like a stinkin antelope. He would run straight into a pile of people, and everone on the defense(me included) would think. HAH, we have you now. But he would....... there's no explination.....it hurts my head to think about how......He would come out of there almost completely un-touched, and we would all chase after him. But to no availe. This guy ran a 4.2(that's really fast, for those of you who are confused at my sincless numbers)
Anyway we chased after that guy all night. In the fourth quarter (end of game) on one of these break away runs (he had like six touchdowns) I ran him down and tackled him.

Now, point of the story. I had been chasing this guy all night, and I finally caught him. BUT when I caught him, I wasnt like, hah that was a great chase you gave me all night. I didnt even think to myself, ahh I finally caught him, what a great feeling.
I simply just felt, really pissed off. I just wished that guy would die.

see, no thrill, nothing good at all. Not the catch, and definatly not the chase.

One day my Damsil in Distress will find me.

She has to find me, cause there is no way I'll ever be able to find her.

But when she does find me, and slaps me, and tells me to rescue her. I, Prince Charming, will come to the rescue, and we will live happily ever after.

Girls are Confusing!!!!!!!!!

Leap of Faith

2005-09-25T14:50:00.000-07:00

Are there people out there who are just born with a great faith? I don't think so. I think that it is a gradual process. A "walk", if you will. It doesn't just happen over night. you take steps foward and back. I just pray that I can keep going foward even when I stumble, because we all fall. It's which we fall and how fast we get up that counts.

Whit I totally agree with you. When you finally come to your sinces and realize that you cant live without me. Just let me help you do some stuff and I'll be yours.

2005-09-24T22:10:00.000-07:00

I have been warned, and I will heed the warning of thestorm. This is my post. My post that will keep me off of Angela's retired post list.

I really need to get job, but i really dont want one. I wish I could just do the stuff that i like to do, that can be considered work, and get paid for that.

I hope you had a Grrrrreat birthday Angela.

They say that first impressions are everything. Im glad we get second chances. if we didnt get second chances we would be a bunch of untrustING, untrustED people. We would never impress or satisfy anyone.

2005-09-13T22:00:00.000-07:00

Well i can't tell if this week is going to be a good week or not, but one thing is for sure. This week is going to be a good week, or it is going to be worse. But just the fact that i am blogging is a good sign. I do belive this week is not going to be near as hectic. See that? That is what i like to call "Posative Visualsation". Man this thing doesn't have a spell check, does it. Wow that was weird. I have no ideah what is on tv but this thing just popped up in the middle of a parking garage, where this guy was changing a tire for the damsil in distress, and just sliced the dude across the face. I've got to start working out. I'm getting really "POO-ISH". I'm going to work out, and i'm going to get really buff. Maybe then I will be able to woo the girl of my dreams. Allthough I have absolutely no ideah who that dream girl is. But if and when i do find her, i will find a way to screw it up, buff or not. The show is charmed. Well I'm going to bed now.

Well i'm up in the attik right now with kdawg we are watching national treasure, and we are bulding shelves for the coffe shop. I was trying to find out wether we have college group tonight. I'm waiting on angela to ask her. Soupie was just in a car accident. I said something to kdawg bout taking his job till he comes back and he seemed interested in the ideah. I hope that works out because not only could i use the money, but i would be doing something that i love doing.

Well the more i have thought about it, the more i really come to the realazation that something really cool happened today. Chris the guy from the Red Cross hung with us pretty much the whole day, and just a short while after i had got there and we had cleaned out K-Dawg's office so that the Ameri-corps could have a place to sleep Chris had told me that he really appreciated what we at the church were doing. Later that day after the the two water runs and nearly passing out in the coffe shop, i talked to Chris again and he told me that he was just shocked at the people of the church and how we were so willing to help. He said "We could have done this with so much less than what ya'll have provided, but ya'll have just done so much more than what was nessicary". I have been thinking about that all day and, this is a guy from Minniapolis, Minnasota he volentered for the Red Cross and came across the contry to help storm victims, and he said that WE were going above and beond. That was REALLY COOL

Well today was pretty hectic but all in all it was fun and fullfilling. We got to go out and pass out water to the people who were waiting in lines for gas. this morning i woke up to my mom telling me to go to my grandmothers house and help her clean out her house that got flooded. once i figured out what my name was i got up and went down to that mildew filled house and took out all the mildewy items that my pack rat grandmother has aquired over the years. I hope that we can have a movie night sometime this weekend. they will probably lift the curfew tomorow. well we finally got rid of the refugee camp in my house, my grandparents were here and their next door neighbor called and they got power back at 7:37 P.M. and i get to sleep in my own bed tonight.

Score one for the Neil Man!
