Distance
I wrote this a year or two back, I’m not sure what was going through my head at the time but I wanted to eventually make it a song. Well here it is:
I want to talk to you
I want to get to know you
You aren’t there when I call
My hope slowly fades but wont fail
I know you are just busy
I wont let this interfere with me
I will keep focused on my goal
To keep focused on you, oh...
A Man Of Prayer
Nehemiah was a Man Of Prayer. He knew the only way he could accomplish what seemed like an impossible task was through the power of God Almighty. So he spent time plugged into the Power Source himself through the avenue of prayer.
Nehemiah was an incredible organizer and motivator. He was able to presuade men to volunteer their time and energy to rebuild Jerusalem’s wall. They...

Immanuel (The Challenger)
“Repent or Perish. “ This is a hard teaching of Christ. It is unrelenting and direct in it’s objective; but—as are all things with Christ—it is rooted in unconditional love. The word that Christ would have used to say “repent” is the word “METANOIA”. While the concept of repentance has been distorted and perverted into meaning to simply stop sinning, the word that...
Drinking.. again. God keeps showing me more.
So after my last post I had some very good interesting conversations with my parents, brother, and friends. God showed me through all these conversations a new way to look at life. Why do we so heavily concentrate on the question, “Would Jesus drink?” Why not, “Would Jesus play Halo?”, “Would Jesus drive a car?”, “Would Jesus drink coffee?” Why is...
WWJD PT. 2
Tonight I was thinking to myself:
Would Jesus drink alcohol like he did back 2000 years ago?
I would have answered yes to that question before today, but God showed me and convicted me with something today. I don’t think Jesus would drink any type of alcohol if he walked the earth today. The reason they all drank wine back 2000 years ago is because they didn’t have anything better to...
WWJD?
What would Jesus do? That is a common question we ask ourselves as we go on our everyday lives. What would Jesus do with this co-worker that is aggrovating me? What would Jesus do with this customer who doesn’t have any patience and is yelling and insulting me?
One question I have thought to myself is:
“Would Jesus have a routine like every single one of us?”
I think if...
Our Individualistic Society
I was just thinking how today we do absolutley everything ourselves, and that’s the way everyone wants it! I was in Wal-mart today and realized how we all just don’t even think of it but we just go through our self checkout tills and we don’t interact with anyone, at all. We want to do everything as quick as we can and not sincerely engage in conversation with anyone because we...
He said "Wait on Me"
“I would have lost heart, unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living. Wait on the LORD; be of good courage, and He shall strengthen your heart; wait, I say, on the LORD!” (Psalm 27: 13&14)
This passage has been the story of my last month or so. Being not sure of where God wants me and where he wanted me to continue his ministry he has...
Oswald Chambers Quotes
” God’s Spirit continually reveals to His children what human nature is like apart from His grace.”
“The abiding awareness of the Christian life is to be God Himself, not just thoughts about Him.”
“If we are obssesed by God, nothing else can get into our lives - not concerns, nor tribulations, nor worries.”
Hell
Here’s the deal: we humans either have free will or we don’t. If we do, then God cannot strip us of the right to choose, even if we choose something He did not want for us. That means it would be a violation of our free will for God to force us to be with Him for eternity if we don’t want to be. By allowing us to say no to Him, God is actually showing respect for us and keeping human dignity in...
It is our own thoughts that cause suffering, difficulty, trouble, sorrow, and tears. It is our own thoughts that cause our endless chatter and lack of peace. In our ignorance and lack of wisdom, we gather these things. These are the clouds that sever our connection to God. The connection between God’s truth and us is a very close connection. God is closer to us than our own life, but our mind and...

Your World on Fire
But your foundation is weak,
And in time these walls must come down.
Why don’t you save all the trouble and pull yourself out.
Take some gas and a match and burn it to the ground!
Watch the flames surround,
Watch all your fears fall like ashes all around.
Just don’t forget that you’re the one who brought it down.
You did this on your own, all I did was show you how.
Tennis season
Wow I love tennis. I am so glad it has been so nice these last couple weeks, summer is finally starting to come around. Today my bro and I had to do inventory at work - LAME. Anyways after we played some tennis. My calves are so sore from playing 3 hours yesterday with Paul and now with Brendan today. It didn’t give me much time to recover, but things are all good. :)

Music
Music is one of the things I care most about in life. Music can describe how you are feeling, what you want to be, or even can be used for worship. Powerful thing music is eh?
Miley Cyrus
I was thinking to myself today at work. I wonder how much of an influence someone like Miley Cyrus would have on teenagers as they grew up. It would be a substantial amount! If girls like her could lead by example, just imagine what kind of a world this could be. The sad thing is that there is so much corruption in the media which leads to false stories getting out which in turn destroys the image...
