Mainly for Jacob…and all you other Shaft fans

Shaft!

(I don’t know how to embed the videos…I’ve been trying. It is annoying me.)

A friend of mine

A friend of mine is trying to make it as a singer/songwriter. So, he asked that me and some others try to help out in some way. So I’m posting the link to where you can hear his album. I’ve listened to some of it and it’s not too shabby. (I also want you to know that I ate buffalo today…seriously)

On a lighter note

I had an assist in a soccer game tonight…in Mexico. We won in a shootout. Thank you. That is all. Oh, and I miss you guys.

Jesus

I love Jesus. Some of you knew me before I was a “real” Christian. Some of you know the struggle I’ve had before, during, and still after my conversion. I’ve been striving after Jesus the best way I can full force over the last two years. I still mess up and I still let some of my old habits creep out. Yet, my continual transformation to become more like Christ has not only given me a purpose and a challenge, but a better life. I don’t try to hide from things as much. I don’t cover things up like I used to. Sure, I still make mistakes….some just as bad as before. I actually come to tears when I sin sometimes…I collapsed and cried in the shower the other day and prayed for forgiveness for things over the last few months. I’m wanting to have the heart and attitude of David mixed with Paul. The repentant heart and spirit even in the face of my own carnal mishaps. I want to be outspoken for Christ even unto death. I want to get rid of my sinful pleasures and my borderline Christianity. In everything I try to view it as a mission…what does it mean when I do something. It means I am displaying my efforts to be like or not like Christ. I am not able to do this on my own. Yes, I need the Spirit (Who is Himself God) to guide and direct me. When I do something iffy, I am making people see an iffy Christ. I have no right to just decide what is right and wrong, to just do what I want. I have been given the gift of freewill (Within the context of me choosing my decisions, not in the aspect that God knows what I will, am, and have done and therefore create the paradoxical illusion of being confined outside of free will. This is my opinion.) and yet I need to realize that I gave myself to Christ. I have chosen to be God’s slave and it’s not a bad gig. He provides food, clothing, housing, a pass to see the world, and many other blessings. God is a good master. I guess I’m rambling…but I want you to know that I’m gonna be putting all of you who are on the VIFL list in my prayer journal. I am going to pray that you seek and find just as I am choosing to do for the rest of my life. That you can have the joy despite circumstances. To take in God like you are addicted to Him. I love you all…..and I hope, and will pray, that I get to see each one of you after death in Heaven, whatever Heaven may be. Brothers, for eternity.

If…

If I was naked right now I’d tell you……..I’m not naked. Sorry guys.

Float Trip

It was a good time.

Movie Tonight

Gonna see Tropic Thunder in Washington at 7:30 tonight..which means two things:
1. You are invited to go
2. I won’t be back to my house until about 9:30-9:45 maybe. You are welcome anyways
*BONUS* We could meet at wal-mart at around 9:25ish if you all want. To get supplies

Don’t be a tool! CARPOOL!

1. So, how are we dividing the carpooling up for those of us who will be doing so? I think we may be able to use just two vehicles.
2. When and where are we leaving from when we do said carpool?
3. Who, when, and where are all questions concerning the idea of buying the group supplies and sustenance…answer it.

One week

So we are suppose to leave in a week…what’s going to happen? I am talking about the float trip BTW.

My life update

So I have a plane ticket to fly to Mexico on August 27th. I will be gone until December when I will be back for about two weeks…then I fly back to Mexico again. Float trip may be the last time some of you see me for awhile. Though, I haven’t seen some of you for a while anyways. I’m really looking forward to it.

Ryan–> I’m fitt’n to call you. We need to hang out a little next week. Sorry it’s taken so long.
James–> I’ll call you too. Soccer will be fun to watch. BTW, I will play it a lot in the south.
Jacob–> Probably see you sooner than later..you live close. :-P
Leo–> I’m excited to see you again my friend. The float should occur more often.
Matt–> Talked to you on the phone yesterday. Miss you man, hope you can make it.
Drew–> Why’d you have to go and have a family and work for God? Now you can’t come. :-P I hear you are doing great. Keep it up.
Frogie AKA Lewis–> I haven’t seen you in a long time.
Ben–> See you again soon. Sorry I haven’t made it by the house lately.
Randy–> I’ve only met you once I think..and ironically it was at my house. Hope life is rocking out for you.
Jon–> Wish you could make it. You always make things more interesting. :-)

Float

I will go wherever the people decide. I’m not particular. Current river seems to be a better choice now. Perhaps we could find a different part of it though? I dunno. Also, I was looking at pictures from last year…I’m hoping to look better topless than last year. I think Ryan wins for best topless male. Congrats!

Thoughts

-gas is ruining a lot of plans.
-do all birds have a specific purpose or did God get bored?
-why do my feet smell all the time…good or bad?
-when will my knees explode?
-who is our next president…does it really matter anymore?
-how far is the float trip from me?
-where is she? I’ve been looking for 23 years.
-A movie about Chihuahuas? Seriously…
-It’s an organized mess….not a mess
-If it wasn’t so expensive to eat healthy, America wouldn’t be so obese…but still pretty bad I’m guessing. Mississippi is 31% obese, Colorado is 18%.
-I put my name on microchip that is going to Mars…find out more from NASA if you want
-Growing up is great and all, but I miss hanging out all the time with you guys.
-Life is good

Life and such

I’m in Indiana right now. I’ll be in Tennessee for two weeks after that. Then I’m going to Texas and Washington DC sometime next month. God keeps on moving me around and it’s great. Yet, I’m a little scared of the future. I am not afraid of death or being provided for…I’m afraid of doing nothing or of not doing enough for God. I’m afraid of just existing. I don’t want to..I refuse to do so. I have no big skills except for loving people and such. I’m gonna be fine, but it’s a tad bit scary. In lei of all that information, I’m pretty much at peace. I am pretty much content with my life. I am living for God the best way I know how and also try to love people to the best of my ability. I screw up some along the way and sometimes I do the right thing and surprise myself….in all things we are more than conquerors. God is good. I am ready for what happens next. I am ready to share stories with all of you. To hear what you all are doing and have done. To see how God works in your life just as He does in mine. I’m also ready for the VIFL Float trip…oh boi am I hungry for that trip. We have great friends, I miss being able to just be with ya’ll. Life goes on but our comradeship will always remain if we choose. Thanks for helping me become who I am. Thanks for causing me to desire more of myself and also to desire to be more like the Godly man that God calls all of us to be. You all have helped form me…so if I screw up I blame you. :-)

I need to clip my toenails soon, they are gross.

Back

I’m back…give me a ring. I’ll be in WashMO a bit. I’ll call some of you too. Whatev, peace out. :-P

Goodbye

I’m leaving for three months. TTYL. Much love from the STL bois!

Romans 1:16-17 (ESV)
For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith for faith, as it is written, “The righteous shall live by faith.”
