| SO today was good,
A ton has happened since I last posted. we will start with Graduation.
May 13th, 2006, lol
Graduation, it was great, a lot of my friends were there, and I knew everyone that was graduating, so tahts awesome, it was a class of like 64 or 70. not to big. one of my friends slept through his graduation and the salutitorian was late, so that was hilarious. I had to get my room checkout out, but they took forever, and I packed my phone so I couldn;t find it, and I didn;t have a watch, thoguht I was going to miss the party though It really wasn;t a party, but it was a lot of fun anyway. Jeremy's parents are awesome, they did a lot of stuff, which has kinda become tradition, which I Won;t have again. Jeremy is heading back to NMMI as the Honor Board Chairman, which is awesome, he is the man for the Job. God has plans in all he does. Anyway, I think that it is goign to Suck at NMMI the Next year though. They have another Puppet for the RC and he is jsut going to follow orders and not defend the school and the commandant will be the true ruler of the school. I think it is not going to go good. but I am done with that so I am happy.
next thing I started work on the 17th of May. I work At Accounting and Consulting Group. It is a great job therer are a lot of really good people there and I am learning a lot. I have been driving a lot and I love to drive so thats awesome as well.
Today I got stuck at the dump, I was taking packages out to there to be buried and then I thought that the guy was calling me to him and actually he was pointing. lol And I so drove behind the pile in my little truck and it sunk into the sand. They tried to get a big truck with tires to pull me out, but it almost got stuck and so they brought over the treaded Bulldozer to pull me out. it took awhile but it was fun and provided a good laugh, and the workers some heartache. lol it was good though.
I have Just been having a great time. and I am goig to bed now, I can;t stay up like I used to and be productive at work. So I go to bed earlier but a small sacrifice, I love the job So I am planning on doing the very best job that I am capable of. I hope that I get to do some Audit work soon. I am excited to see what everyone is talkign abotu all the time. :D lol.
anyway Peace out, God Bless,
Jeff

| I wanted to post this last time and then I wasn't sure so I got the opinions from a few people and decided to post it today.
Lately I have been studying John, but more so I have
been talking to people about the down falls of the church. Where has the church
gone wrong and gotten into people worship more then the Worship of God?
The church fails at what it was originally intended to do, provide a ministry
and discipleship and family/accountability center for the Christian.
Realize that I am not meaning to say that you should not go to church, but it
is apparent that it is not fulfilling its role in the Christian life.
Discipleship has gone to where in a lot of churches, it is non-existent. People
go, leave, and keep on living life, just another activity in the days of their
lives. Church is to be a place that they get discipled, that they get
trained to go and live for Christ, but we have lost that focus, it is now a
place that pastors are afraid to hurt people's feelings, a place where we don't
train Christians, nor do we encourage you to go and train other Christians. The
song by Casting Crowns "If We are the Body"
But if we are the body
Why aren't His arms reaching?
Why aren't His hands healing?
Why aren't His words teaching?
And if we are the body
Why aren't His feet going?
Why is His love not showing them there is a way?
This song shows the tremendous downfall of the Church. We are to show His Light
to the world, and we can't even take care of each other, much less, go to the
world. We are not training our youth in a way of life, but in a
religiosity life style. Must listen to Christian music, must have the Koolest
Christian T-shirts, must Hang with the Christian kids, must say the right
words. But what about the heart? what about the Love? what about the Anti-hate
message that the Bible teaches? How can we profess to be christians when it is
just another Cliche in world that many times is worse then the World
itself. We have gone so far that 80% of the United States claims to be
Christian, the Southern Baptist president has professed that up to 50% of those
that attend thier services or say they belong to thier churchs are not saved
(BTW, Southern Baptist Congregation is the largest in the United States with 35
million belonging). What is wrong with the Church, how are we not able to reach
even those that attend Church?
I don't have an answer, except that I think that we need to evaluate where our
allegiance is. The Bible says that we are to be Aliens in the world, that we
will never feel comfortable in this life. If you are feeling comfortable you
might want to look at where your focus is, and what the Bible says you are in
Christ. We need to turn ourselves from being Self Focused to being Christ Focused. Being Christ focused is throughout the New Testiment, but I think that we fail to read that as well, or we pick and choose what we want and what fits our life and our needs, instead of what it really says, which is to be a living sacrifice.
The Church was told in Mathew 28:19-20 "Go ye therefore, and make disciples
of all the nations, baptizing them into the name of the Father and of the Son
and of the Holy Spirit: teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
commanded you: and lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the
world"
Make disciples and Teach them to Observe all things that I taught
you
This is where most churches Fails. We will go and get people to say a
prayer, but WE don't teach them what that means or get them hooked up, and then
if they go to just about to any church, it fails to teach them and they are lost
and confused, and maybe lost to Christ forever, seeing the Church as a place
that is uncaring and hypocritical.
Peace

| Hey everyone!!
I am sitting here in a local Cafe, that is christian run listening to good Christian music and Chillin'. Only problem with the picture is that I have a big paper, which the final version is due on Monday, and I haven't even started. Procrastination is a big problem, I really need to not do that.
Anyway, A lot has happened. I have a job with Accounting and Consulting in C-bad for the summer and it is going to be awesome. I think, I have a place to stay with my cousin for basically free in Las Crusas, while I am going to school there. It is going to be awesome staying with them and having a good time, and also not paying anything, for one semester, so thats awesome.
Also I think that I am going to be a sponsor at my sister's youth group and helping them a lot which is going to rock. I love that youth group, and they have been a big blessing to me and I hope that I can be one back now that I have the chance. I maybe traveling for my job and I very excited at that possibility as well.
14 DAYS TILL SCHOOL IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I couldn't be more excited, at the possibilities that I will have now that I am not going there anymore, but it definitly served its purpose, but I have grown beyond it. The job that I got for the summer is run by a NMMI graduate and I think that it definitly gave me a hand up to get the position. SCHOOL IS ALMOST OUT. I just can't believe it is so close. I have all the grades to graduate and I know that I am going to hav a good GPA. Everything is going for me at teh moment and Life is good.
GOD IS AWESOME!!!! and his hand has been shown in everything that is happening. And all praise should go to Him.
I have a thing to write here, and I have already typed it but I am getting some constructive critism before I post it. It will probably be on in a few days.
Peace out ya'll.

|  Hello Everyone, I know that I haven't posted in a long time, but I have been busy or at least stressed.
Things here are crazy as always. A guy made a myspace group, that was used to get frustration out. A person in high authority, believes that it is to bash him, and it yes was started, because of him, but it has not been used to bash him, but to just get feelings out in a safe environment, free from backlash. I think that the idea was a good one, but it got Myspace.com blocked on the network by the person talking to the commandant. Anyway, it has been crazy, I can't say what I want to because even on here people watch. so I won't but it drives me crazy. There are 30 days left till graduation, and then I won't have to deal with this crap anymore.
I have almost registered for classes at NMSU. I possibily will take my arts class this summer not sure, but I am thinking I will. Right now I have three classes that they said I should have taken already in these last two years. So that means that I will be about half a semester behind. Thats ok, I figure that I can take classes during the summer, who knows I am not sure, btu I kow that it will work, out even if I have to go an extra semester.
As far as my responsibilities since my last post I have gotten the clothes in the trunk rooms consolidated to a single room, and then I have had them generalized and seperated out so that they are easier to find what you are lookling for when you need new clothes. I still hope that they get a room above the trunk rooms so that the future Quartermaster can have a key and be a true service to the Corps. I am also in charge of making sure that everyone has found thier rifles or whatever by this coming Wednesday. I just like two minutes ago talked to the CSM and I talked to the the SFC that is in charge of the rifle sheets, so I will pick those up this afternoon and then get them out to before tomorrow. hopefully.
My bank randomly desided to send me a new debit card and it didn't require activation. So I am at Sonic and I order. I then attempt to pay with my debit card and something about cannot authorize please contact your bank, so I call my parents first to ask if there is a reason that it is not working. they don;t know of one. they tell me to call the bank. I call the bank and they get to my account and then ask for a password, I am like password??. So I try all the normal passwords that I use, and it isn't any of them. so I am like well, I guess thats pointless so I call my parents back and they don't know of any password. Well anyway we figured out that it was the new card is the reason mine no longer works. I still need to work out how to get rid of the password or at least make it something that I know, but at least I can have money now.
Other things that have been going on. I guess I am going to prom with a girl I barely know, to RHS. This completely freaks me out but I am too nice to say no. So whatever, I just figure I will not know anyone, and so I can just relax, as long as I don't get beat up. Haha. I am sure that won't happen, if it is anything like Carlsbad prom, they have police everywhere.
Everyone should check out the car at the top. It is a protype, but it would be awesome if it was what they really would make. lol. You can find it at SAAB.com it is the Saab Aero X.
Anyway. Peace out | | |
| Well, I should have posted a long time ago, but...
I passed my PT test. I have been doing more then I was before as far as working out. I have played Raquetball about once a week for 2 and half hours. Kahuna convinced me to go workout during spring break. so we went once. We also played a lot of DDR and went to the caverns and stuff. So it all works out.
Kahuna says that he has been to church more in one week then like a long time, so he is set for the year or so, haha. When he realizes it has to do with relationship and not on credit of going to church. You can be a christian and not go to church at all, and yet a lot of people that go to church are not christian at all.
On Thursday we played Risk and then went and watched V for Vindetta which I thought was a great movie but a lot of people have said it was shallow I thought it was deep. anyway if you have seen it let me know your thoughts on it.
I then left at 6:00 on Friday morning for Las Crusas with my dad. We got everything set up for school which I am extremely excited about. and I should be getting anything as far as scholarships and grant potential and everything else in about two weeks.
I am too tired to figure out what I am talking about, ask Joyce she will tell you I have no idea what I am talking about.
Well time for sleep. Good Morning to all. | | |
