So, I've been thinking...

I don't remember if I've mentioned this on my blog before, but I'm a really selfish guy... I know y'all probably don't see it as much as I do. What I hate is how often I'll be doing something like serving someone, and instead of doing it to serve them, I'm doing it so that I can have the pleasure of hearing them thank me... I hate how my mind works sometimes. =/

And that's about it for now. =)

It never gets old

God is so good. It's kind of funny, because major things rarely happen in my own life... it's things that happen in other people's lives that make me see how great my God is. That story about little Allan down in Mexico is going to be a story that will forever remind me of how this great God touches even the lowliest of His creation.

Life is still good down here in front of my computer. So, I guess that's about it. Peace, y'all!

EMILY!!!

Happy birthday, my sister (in Christ)!!! I hope that you have a wonderful 16th birthday! You challenge me more than anyone else to live a godly life: to read my Bible, to have fellowship, to pray. God has truly been honored through your life this year and through your relating to me. Again, I hope you have a wonderful day, and I pray that you will have the most fruitful year of your life yet in this coming year. =)

Oh, how true this is

How could I say this any better? I know I've posted this before, but it is still sooooo true. Oh, God, why don't I realize this so much of the time?

The Epigone - Becoming the Archetype

There's nothing I can say that hasn't already been said
I'm just repeating myself repeating someone else
Equally incapable of uttering a single new thought
Yet you are ever worthy of adoration
So how can I for a moment cease to lift my heart in praise?
Your name is glory
My song is victory
And I will keep on singing
There is no opposition
No thing can stand in your way
Make my life your own

So, I'm really, really busy this week between school, work, Drama Camp, and writing for school. I'm procrastinating tonight, though, haha. Sometimes, I just can't get started on school, I guess. But, I guess that's about it. If y'all could pray that I'll have the strength to get through this week and still get an A in my class, that would be wonderful. I love you guys (and gals, haha)! Aside from God, y'all are what give me the strength to get through life.

Hijacked!!!

Nathan here!

Well, Wesley hijacked my blog, so i'm hijacking his!! Hehehehe *evil cackle* This will teach him to log out of his account when he walks away from his computer! Hahaha. Yep i think i'm asking for it, but i couldn't pass up the opportunity :-) Have a great day folks! Take it easy and make sure you take some time to tell Wesley how awesome he is!! :-D (Because as we all know, he is awesome!) Well I gotta get back to recording now and get off before Wes catches me =P peace yall!

So, I said I would post soon...

Thus, I post. =)

First off, I just wanted to let everyone know that I do read all of everyone's blog posts even if I don't comment. And I read all of the comments on my blog, too. If you really want to talk to me about something, just do it in person. =P

So, my life has been pretty good. Nothing major has happened, really. =/

The Bible reading is still going well. I think it would help if I would remind myself of the passage that I read throughout the day, though... I think I shall do that. Oh, some times, I am so dumb... haha. Isn't it so amazing how long-suffering God is? It only takes one sin, and God could justly blow me to smithereens.... but he doesn't. I love God. So, so much. All he has done for me, and all he does...

I hope all of y'all are doing well! And to the ones with colds and such, I'm prayin' for you.

Peace, y'all.

I want y'all's thoughts...

Where is the line between being critical of someone and letting them know they're a sinner in need of grace? People do need to know that they have done wrong and that hell awaits them. Especially in a musical situation, though, I think that, from an evangelical viewpoint, it is best not to "shove it down their throats." I'm all for being bold with the gospel... I'm clueless about how to preach it in a musical situation without being too forward. Any ideas?

I really have been missing fellowship with a lot of y'all lately. I'm not sure what has been impeding me, but I've really been missing having good fellowship. Don't let a day go past when you're hanging out with me that you don't ask me where I've been challenged, or, as (I think it was Mr. Connolly) said, where "I've been trying to ignore God lately."

As Emily posted recently, prayer really is an amazing thing. Isn't it so funny how we can forget to pray when we need to most? In the midst of temptation, we can forget to pray. In the midst of trials, we can forget to pray. God's peace will rarely rest with us if we don't pray.

I've decided that I'm going to study a particular topic in the Bible that starts with the letter of the day. So, since today is Tuesday, I'll study troubles... If I find something interesting any given day, I'll post about it.

That's all for now, folks!
