Thoughts
I waited outside of winterjam, and as a result, there has been a growing sickness that reached its peak today for me. I dont regret staying like 3 hours in the cold because it was worth it, not the concert, but the people i waited with. Anyway, I thought I was starting to get better in the middle of the week but running around at deW. didnt help. But once again, deW turned out to be amazing so I...

Just thought I’d let you know. I’ll have more later today.
Would We?
I recently read a great book by Francis Chan called Crazy Love. The whole book is about re-developing a life of love for christ and kind of revamping the flame for him. There is one part of the book that really has been sitting on my mind this morning. It is snowing out side and it is absolutely beautiful and it kind of gave me this awe of how beautiful and great God is. But for some odd reason...
Local Leftovers
Its 2:05 in the morning. Tonight, (or i guess last night now?) I saw an amazing show. It was perhaps the best local show I have ever been to. The lineup of bands I personaly wanted to see were Nine Life Fire and So Many Dynamos. Both are absolutely insane and you should check them out. This show put me in awe. I would go into further detail, but seeing how it is 2 in the morning. I am choosing...

Back & Forth
Today was good!!!
Starting recording more tracks. Which are turning out awesome. Im starting to grasp the rap more, i promise it will be better than the first one. Im still singing on the tracks too, but im aiming for a different sound so im not writing the same songs over and over. Im tempted to put more previews up, but i dont want to ruin the surprise. We will see how far I get before the...

“Experience is not what happens to a man. It is what a man does with what...”
– Today, a friend shared an experience with me. One that not only blessed him, but blessed me by totally renewing my faith. It is amazing to see how God shows himself through prayer. I am proud of you.

House Group Lesson
Last Sunday night, I taught our Junior housegroups that meets at my place. This week I had chosen Homosexuality as the topic. Overall, I wanted to look at the issue from a christian perspective. I had 3 main idea’s in my head that I wanted to hit. 1-Why is it wrong? Looking from God’s word. 2-Homosexuality & The World. 3-How should Christians respond?
Now, the following things i...
Thoughts Of Today
Here are some things I pondered today.
First of all, I regret making that post down there about 2008 because after I posted it, a million things came to mind that I should have put in there. Including my favorite album of 2008. “You Are My Sunshine”- by Copeland.

Fun Weekends.
Earlier in my high school years, weekends were looked upon by me as times where I need to rush to fulfill every waking (and non-waking) moment of friday-sunday with fun filled, action packed, energy driven activities with my friends. I would plan out my friday night to make sure I was doing the absolute most fun thing at hand, and if an opportunity came up that was more exciting than what I was...
Influence: The Greatest Change
Today I sat in study hall and thought. I do this most study hall periods because, well thats one of the only things to do. But thoughts came across my mind and I began to think about how great 2008 was. I have grown, changed, and learned. And these are some of the things that helped that.
MUSIC: these are the bands/albums that changed the way i think about music in 2008.
