sorry....
To the ones who read… I must apologize for the failure. I said I would keep you up-to-date on the weight lose.
Well here is the up date.
I have not lost any weight, this past week or so… I took a break from working out for the last week. To allow the body to heal. But in this i also took a break from how i ate.
I am sorry… this weight will start up again on the 22nd...

I LOVE HER!!!!
To many times in our lives we think it is about the who’s who, what’s what or the how’s how… You get it… you know, the Bee’s knees or the cat’s meow…
It seemed this way for myself as I grew. Seeing the older sibling excel at all (or so it seemed). But enough about him let us talk about her… the girl in the picture. So beautiful in the...

To many times...
To many times we find ourselves sitting in the muck of us…
You might wonder why these words arise so rough…
But the thing that is so true…
is our willingness to serve the leftovers…
Over and Over we do…
When will our call guide us…
GOD’s Voice is louder is than ours…
Stand and Listen…
ALLOW IT TO MOVE YOU!!!!
until next time…

SEX is not the greatest thing on earth...
A while back on VH1 there was the show called “Sex Rehab with Dr. Drew”. In this show you get to see in the lives of people that are completely consumed by sex… They can not even get out of bed to go to the store because they are so enthralled. Anyway I was on F.B. today and saw on Mark Driscoll is on Dr. Drew’s radio show called Love Line.
In this radio show there was a...

Shedding the pounds...
A week ago I told you that I would keep you all up to date on the weight… It has been a struggle but I am so thankful that i am putting my body and mind through the torture of what seems depravity (that of food and what I am use to). This week I really tried hard to pay attention to the calories that were inhailed.
It seems so often that we in-hail the food we partake in. It is like a...

Remember when???
It has been right at 13 years since i had spoken to them. While growing up from the ages of 7-11 i had this group of friends that i was always hanging out with. Two sisters and one brother. But my family and I moved… it was hard… but I made new friends, moved, made new friends, moved and so on.
The other day I decided to look up these long lost friends… the interweb prevailed...

In 24 days...
In 24 days Ill be 24… It is wild to think that I am going to be in my mid-twenties. For some it may seem old and others a young whipper-snapper (yes i just used that term) . One time when I was 21 years old I was coaching a 7 year old soccer camp. The kids cracked me up, they looked at me with my beard and said “man you must be 50 years old”… they were serious. Anyways, I...

Suprise
To many times we think that not much can surprise us… Well this weekend my wife and I were able to surprise her family. Were we live we ended up getting 8 inches of snow, in this part of the country that is the equivalent of an avalanche falling from the sky. But anyway, I work in a profession that doesn’t hardly let me off on Sundays (I am a youth minister). My wife (we will call...

I just saw "To Save a Life"
I know many people have “Christian” movies. To tell you the truth, a majority of them are lame. Nothing against most of them but they all seem to fall short in some form or fashion. The Acting and the Filmography fall short of the old school “B” movies. Do not get me wrong many of these movies have very well intended messages, much like “Christian”...

The World spins and you’re not the center! (An...
In a world that gives everything on a silver platter, it focuses on us. We sit in our recliners, with our computers ( that are endowed with wireless internet), osculating heaters, tv’s with satellite, cell phones that do everything from calenders to having application that can run the power point presentation and we think the world owes us something. How strange it is that we have this...

check yourself...
To the Church in Sardis from Jesus — “I know your deeds; you have a reputation for being alive, but you are dead” (Revelation 3:1)— We need to always keep our lives and motives in check… If we walk around this world showing “how great” we are and “how great” our deeds are but our hearts are not correct, we might as well be the walking dead.

HAITI!!!!!
PRAY FOR HAITI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
There will be a time...
I am unsure how… But we are tempted every day. We choose whether we will fail or pass.
Why is it when we seem to be doing so well with our everyday walk with Christ the temptation increases ten fold… You would think that it would back off, but it never does… *sigh*
Why is it we fall for it… It is much like the sticky strips that we put down to catch a mouse… It...
learn...
I was teaching youth and I learned a lesson… I need to listen. The youth were not listening… i had to stop and tell them to be quiet… I was saying something to them that God has been telling for a while now… The question is… Am I going to listen?

It is wild...
It is wild to me that we can look at the world around us and not see a creation that was created… In the universe alone has (a simple estimate) 350,000,000,000 different galaxies… This is of the known universe (we are still searching)… This is wild. I was watching a youtube clip by a guy named Louie Giglio, he took a golf ball and told us that it represented the earth. Take the...

Why?
Why do so many people try to disprove something they, themselves, claim not to believe (i.e. Christ)?

Interesting...
It seems to many times that people blame Christ or God for everything wrong that goes on in this world because “He could stop it”… Do people not realize that things happen because we have a choice in the matter. How comforting would it be if we were robots going around following “our program”… This would elimnate all responsiblity for how things have turned...

So I was pulled over...
It is wild to me when we get pulled over how much our hearts race. This protector of the highway was up to something… He followed me for at least a quarter of a mile, then he decided to turn on the lights (all of this happened at night mind you). He told me I had a light out, it was for my license plate (a state law here in Missouri). I had to go sit in His car, as I did he proceeded to ask...
As time passes...
I know that I am not that old… in fact, in a month and a half I will be in my mid-twenties…. But man time flies. I look and the woman that I love is sitting in her recliner asleep. It seems like only yesterday that I was smitten over her from afar. Now she is the mrs to my mr.

*Yawn*... We need to rest
Today is a day off… It seems to me that the days off are more busy then the days of work. It seems that rest does not occur in the days that are needed. It’s not really ok if that is the case. I know God, after He created, took the 7th day off… I some times wish we would go back to the mindset the folks in the bible had toward the day of rest. Sabbath literally means to cease, to...
How sad...
So many times we find ourselves “to busy”. I was wondering the other day why we do not take the time to search out Christ. At the youth group i teach, i have found that the students are your average everyday teens. They have the relationship problems, bad hygiene, and awkward moments that all teens seem to have.
We were discussing why people do not take the time to search Christ out. A few...

Hmm...
Never took the time to blog… but that is ok. I feel it is important to write thoughts that may be running threw ones mind. I hope to encourage, lift up, and randomly have insight that may interest people to read a blog from the average.
