Ridiculous....

For the last several years my car has been a perpetual target for vandalism. Eggs, paintballs, veggies, keys, spitballs, or even stuff just getting ripped off of it.

Today I reached a new low.

My car was bacon cheeseburgered. What does it mean to be bacon cheeseburgered? It means someone threw a bacon cheeseburger at my car.

I think the humor on this one outweighs the annoyance I should be feeling. =P

well

I was going to update but I got distracted...by a girl...I know you're all shocked because that doesn't ever happen to me...oh well...First time for everything I guess... :p

Why? That's why.

Tonight was just awesome. It was a well needed reminder of the real reason I do what I do. I've been kind of toying with going and hanging out at Senior High for a while now, and from the urging of some friends and the prompting of God, I decided to go. The main reason I really wanted to go is I have some friends there at senior high, I thought it would be nice to go catch up with some of the kids who have moved on from Junior High, and because it really gave me an excuse to go to a live worship set. Little did I know God had more than just that in store for me....
Before I go on, Ben and Jeff, thank you for being so gracious and accepting of me being there tonight.
Anyway, I was doing my thing, just going around and catching up with or talking to people, when, after service, AJ tells me that one of our students who I haven't seen in years is there tonight. I got all excited because God had already spoken to me earlier in the day about this kid. I immediately ran off to go hunt him down. I quickly was almost literally drawn right to him. I walked up and he basically said "wow" and motions me off to the side saying, "Come here, lets talk."
I won't go into the details of kid, no scratch that, young man's life, but since leaving us last he got himself into what I would call serious doodoo. God totally impacted his life and he came to me tonight with a totally open, honest, and teachable heart. He knows he's walking a hard path, but the determination to be a man of God burns in his tear filled eyes.

I was reminded tonight that I might not always see the results immediately, but the seeds being planted are more effective than I'll ever know.

Good job man of God. Blessings be upon you and I can't wait to journey with you.

A quick life update

Short bit of life

I'm trying to write more lately, but a lot of those little quips are making it into handwritten journals. I'm still trying to spend as little time as possible at my computer. I have been doing a weekly(ish) blog on the site for my Jr High leadership small group. That's pretty cool. We're talking about servanthood for the month of February. Anyone have any good books on that?

Speaking of books, I have been compiling a list of books I want to read......I'm not exaggerating when I tell you my list has hit almost 100 books...

along with other research I want to do I've got a long way to go...

I know, I'm excited too!
