The Future Has Arrived

Mon, 04 Feb 2008 13:48:19 GMT

Well, I know its been a longer span of time than I originally expected to keep you in suspense, but sometimes life puts you on rides that you can’t get off of until the ride finishes. In other words, I’m not in control of life, so I just have to “go with it.” :)
However, y’all have been more than patient, so without any further ado, I will explain to you what new ride I’m getting on =D

You may be wondering why I have been posting western themed profile pictures, backgrounds, and updates, and possibly what brick wall I’d run into, or how much sleep I haven’t had. Or, you might’ve just chalked it up as “that’s just Tim.” Yet, this theme is no coincidence and no, I haven’t just recovered from a serious encounter with brick walls.
Ever since mid-October last year, I have been tossing up the potential of pursuing an internship with CollegePlus! The benefits offered would include the equivalent of a full-ride scholarship, as well as a generous monthly stipend and a few other options. This seemed like a great idea until after Mom and I were able to seriously talk about it on the way back from our two week paradise in Colorado Springs. We were able to discuss the practicality of it all, and we pretty much decided that it would be in my best interests to find somewhere else to intern. I’d already put in my application, but I was confident that, should they call, I would thank them for their time, but that I would have to pass it up. That was two months ago, and as we’re all aware, God can do a lot in that time…a WHOLE lot.
In this circumstance, He did. CollegePlus! did indeed call (on the 2nd week in January), and after the conversation with their Director of Admissions, I was completely not confident in my prepared-for position of “passing it up.” I talked with Mom immediately after the call and after 15 or 20 intense minutes of discussion, we realized that God was leading in completely opposite direction than we thought He was. She liked the idea, and was staunch in her belief that it was practically, as well as financially doable. Still, we wanted a firsthand account from my brother who is already there. He asked some good questions, but at the end, he too liked the idea and his general sentiment was “If you want it, go for it.” Since then, I’ve had two more phone calls with the CP! correspondent, one interview, and one follow-up call in which I was formally accepted to the position of Admissions Registrar, which I will assume on the 31st of March. The one very drastic change, is that the commitment is for a year…in San Antonio, Texas – thus the Western theme and the reason for "no coincidence." The other benefit I have not already mentioned accomodates me with an apartment, at no cost to myself. The monthly stipend will generously cover the other costs I will have to pay for – car insurance, gas, cell phone coverage, food, and some pocket-money. Because I’m still a dependent though, I have access to the military bases nearby, which will be most helpful in efficiently putting food on the table =) I will not be the only one in the apartment, but it will still be a completely new atmosphere to adjust to.

I very much appreciate all of the friendships I have with every one of you, and I will miss being near the people I know and love the most. I would be very grateful for your prayer support as I follow God’s leading, and pursue this internship in Texas. I would also appreciate prayer as I search for a dependable means of transportation =D As I'm sure you know, its not all that easy.
For those of you who I know through debate, I know this will be especially hard, as I have already become “alumni,” but won’t be able to cheer you on at tournaments...I know only too well how much I will miss it, as well as the plethora of opportunity for stimulating fellowship.
This has not been an easily decided decision, and I will miss y’all very much =( A great way to keep in touch with me would be through email, as I will have computer access pretty much 24/7. Also, some of y’all have my cellphone number, so feel free to give me a ring when you have time. If you don’t have my email or you would prefer phone conversations instead, message me on xanga, and I’ll be sure to get it to you.

Thank you again for being such great and endearing friends over the years – I don’t think I would feel near as comfortable leaving for this period of time if I didn’t have these relationships and know I would have encouragement through this time of transition. You guys/gals are the best friends I could have ever hoped for. Press on!

Thursday's excitement is postponed until tomorrow afternoon

Thu, 31 Jan 2008 21:50:48 GMT

All,

I apologize for the inconvenience to your suspensefulness, but as it happened the the "surprise" will have to wait until tomorrow due to some complications of sorts. I promise I will unveil the excitement by Monday at the latest - but probably by tomorrow afternoon.
Thanks so much!

The first post of a new 18 year old! (I can now buy cigarettes!!! j/k)

Sun, 27 Jan 2008 22:08:48 GMT

Yes, I know. Amazing isn't it? I am actually posting again!!! Lol. I know, I know, its way overdue, and y'all have been soooo patient with me. Thank you =D

Well, as I promised in my last post, the so-called "love life" was actually in reference to my brothers recent association with Grace Goforth. In case y'all are wondering, they are now an official "couple." They are currently courting with the full intention of getting married within the next two or so years (hopefully closer to the 'two or less' mark). We are all very happy about it, and in the time since the announcement in mid-December, we (my family) has had ample time to get to know her better and vice-versa. She is a very awesome person, and she and Chris make a very awesome couple. This is definitely a "God-thing." :) They were definitely meant for each other. So, long story short, Chris and Grace are together for the long-run. Go them!!!!

Since I last posted, Christmas, New Years and my birthday have happened, so I will address those.

    Christmas - Woot[squared]! Christmas is always fun for the Moss family, and this year was no exception. Unlike last year, Joseph came home (with Katy) and spent Christmas and New Years with us! It was sooo much fun! We went and saw "I Am Legend" as well as "National Treasure 2," both of which I can recommend, but way more so of NT2 - that I saw twice. They're both good, but "I Am Legend" unfortunately suffers from what many book-turned-movie flicks do - i.e. it didn't live up to the books reputation. While it was a good drama in the sense that there was a good plot, good character and mostly good morals, it failed to deliver on the want-to-see-it-again benchmark. I'm still trying to pin down why this is... Anyway, enough about movies. Christmas was great! Despite the fact that I got Skittles-flavored lip-balm * cough cough * from some unnamed personage * cough cough * Lots of good times spent with family and friends

    New Years For the past 9 years, the Wilson and Moss families have gotten together for food and fellowship and to celebrate the festivities of the New Year. This year was the 9th consecutive year we've done that, and it was bucket-loads of fun :) Since Joseph and Katy were together, and Chris and Grace were together, I had to suffer through the pangs of "singleness" with my friend Katie. We were in fact a "single couple." We've both known each other since we were two, and so there were no "awkward moments" as it were, but we both felt rather single, and so we both decided to help each other out =) New Years morning we had the traditional home-made donuts from Chris and then * sniff * Katy had to leave at noon. The rest of the day was spent playing cards, talking, and generally having fun. After watching "Ratatouille," the Wilson's departed for their abode around 6ish.

    Birthday - total surprise! Life was normal for Timothy Edward Moss at approx. 9:20 on the morning of the 26th, also known as his birthday. However, 15 minutes later, he was in total shock and almost epilepsy. Friends from Maryland and Georgia, as well as some local friends, showed up on my doorstep with me completely unaware of the situation. The next thing I knew, I was spazzing out, trying to account for the familiar but completely unbelievable camera flashes. Yeah, it was awesome. Apparently, Bri Hendrickson had been planning this for awhile and it so happened that all of them were able to show up for birthday breakfast! IT WAS SO AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!! The rest of the day, we did a favor for Grace (waving signs on Coliseum Dr. for Mike Huckabee), ate lunch at a Seschyuan/Mongolian Buffet place, and then went bowling! * happy sigh * Friends are so awesome... Oh yeah, and I got like 50 or so people posting on my Facebook !!! I also got some of the nicest, most genuine emails and e-cards from the bestest people in the world - THANK YOU GUYS!!!!!!! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE =D Needless to say, it was the most amazing birthday ever =D ...despite the momentary periods of insanity ;)

    "To infinity...AND BEYOND!!!" This week is going to be really crazy for a few reasons I can't tell y'all yet (wait 'til the Thursday post - some of you already know) so I would just ask if y'all would keep me in your prayers... Lots of stuff is going to be happening...

    Well, as much as I would love to put more up here to account for my absence, sleep awaits impatiently. To all those who I have failed to keep up with over xanga, I sincerely apologize and I promise to do my best in the future on staying up with your lives. Lord-knows you've done more than your fair share. So thank y'all for listening, and I hope the length doesn't keep you from seeing how the Lord has really blessed me and how faithful He is to His people.
God Bless!

RR's, TX and "romance."

Mon, 24 Dec 2007 12:34:08 GMT

*Scholasticality - an arrival at an important time in ones education*
Well, some person * coughRachelcough * recently told me to update, and talk about some recent things that have been going on in my life. As of now, I am 9 weeks (plus the two weeks of Christmas break) away from finishing my high school career! * enter the applause * Yes, yes, well, I have been looking forward to this point, because its another significant period in the time line of life. Next stop after graduation is start/finish degree. I'm really looking forward to that. I believe I have settled on a Communications Degree with a minor in Entrepreneurial Business with CollegePlus! at the same time getting a Multimedia Certificate that would basically allow me to get a bunch of experience with Adobe Photoshop and Adobe Flash, as well as some more advanced techniques in Digital Photography (wohoo!!!) (My graduation in my mind figures prominently into this as I am hoping for a higher-end digital SLR as the graduation gift :D I'm not trying to cross the bridge before I come to it, but there is a hopeful anticipation of things to come =). I'm also looking into the possibility of interning with NASA LARC (Langley Aeronautical Research Center) as a graphics/mulitmedia "expert." (should the Lord provide it) I'm also looking into some other more politically active internships because ever since I became involved with Generation Joshua, I have had a much deeper appreciation for politics, and generally anything surrounding our founding documents (Mayflower Compact, Fundamental Orders of Connecticut, Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, Constitution, etc). I absolutely love staying up-to-date on the political world, and my interaction one-on-one during the 2005 and 2006 election seasons as a campaign supporter with the RNC has only more intensified that love. Maybe God will find room for that in my future occupation...
I also have decided not to follow, even if I am accepted, an internship with CollegePlus! down in San Antonio, TX. Various elements came to my attention (I'm sure by God's ordaining them) that made it clear to me that the best thing would be my staying here and looking for a internship/job future here in Virginia. I love my church, my family (related and non-related), and this makes the most sense support-wise. So much for being a Texas cowboy :)
So, long story short, I am coming to a very important part in my life and would greatly appreciate y'all's prayers as I seek God's clear direction for my near future.

That takes care of scholastic stuff.

*ITS OFFICIAL*
Another important decision, one I actually have already made, was one not to continue debating with the National Christian Forensics and Communication Association (NCFCA for those of you who debate or do IE's) and end my three-year educational debate career permanently. This was a very hard decision, but one that the more I think about it the more I am convinced that God has blessed and done for my good. It has meant the saying "goodbye" to a lot of things I had never figured on saying that to, but God has been good and has allowed me to move on. At the same time, this does not mean I have departed from providing support and encouragement to those still in debate. Quite the contrary. Many of my friends who have either been involved for a short time or long time have made me immensely proud, be they in Virginia or elsewhere :D This goes to say that I will miss not being at every tournament, seeing the people I'm used to seeing.
However, the recent tournament that our club was involved in (Radix Practice Tourney in Richmond, Va) went very well! Alex Klein, my almost-lifetime-long friend, got 7th place speaker and we are all majorly proud of him (go Alex!) His partner and the other team representing our club did very well considering it was the one of the other team members first tournament (rather confusing, I know. lol).
It did feel rather odd coming to a tournament in jeans, a button-down shirt, a blazer and.... CONVERSES! (finally!) :) For those of you who don't know, I've always wanted to have converses as the *official* tournament shoe. So for me, it was a victory ;)

*Seasonal*
Customarily, as is proper around this time of year, we have turned the house shades of green, red and gold and are looking forward to having Joseph and Katy here with us during the holidays. Promises of food (a most important ingredient), outrageous fun, and of course *drumroll* DaNcInG!!! are exciting us all. I can't wait :)

I apologize for those of you who don't often have a lot of time to read long posts, but recent events have made this a necessity. Hopefully this season of the year will allow you a few more moments to read about how God has been very good to one Virginia Cowboy. May y'all have a blessed Christmas season, and remember that even if life gives you lemons, just be prepared to add sugar and water and enjoy the lemonade =D God Bless!

A Thanksgiving Post

Fri, 23 Nov 2007 22:51:12 GMT

I absolutely LOVE this time of year. Trees are turning color, and hopefully all the lawns have stopped growing, giving me a short respite from the work done during spring/summer/and parts of autumn. But the best thing I love about it, is that it reminds me that I'm not the only one on this earth, and there are other beings who I share my life with. In my opinion there are two, well, really three groups of people: related family, unrelated family, and complete strangers. Most of the time, I spend my life with the first two. These include, "family," church-family, debate friends, friends of friends, and neighbors. I'm most especially glad for every one of them, because without any one of them, we couldn't appreciate the others. At the same time though, more developed relationships you tend to appreciate more, and I'm no exception. So to all the people who I've spent meaningful amounts of time with, thank you for being the friend that you are to me, you make my days =)

Dancing!!!
I got to go to dance with Katie and Jonathan Young and the McKinney's last Saturday, and that was an absolute blast. I haven't had that much fun-fun in a long time, and it was nice to be just sill with them. Thank you Katie, Jonathan, Lauren and Kate, for still liking me after my insane sillyness...and thanks Lauren for understanding my "weirdness" :)

(I love excitable people like Kate =)

Such an awesome brother and sister...

Thanksgiving Day
We had some good friends over for the day, one of which it was their FOURTH consecutive time! Talk about things to talk about :) It was a most splendid (hehe...and "peachy" :) day, full of food, fun and of course laughter. We all got to talk about what things we were grateful for, eat awesome desserts and sing glorious songs. The day could not have been better spent.

Well, it is late, but I hope y'all had a wonderful Thanksgiving weekend, and hopefully you returned safely and in one piece if indeed you ventured out to the places of shopping. Merry Thanksgiving!!!

Reaching the Peak

Fri, 09 Nov 2007 22:42:18 GMT

Have you ever tried to climb a mountain of any significance? If you have, you know that even though the preparation is great, there is nothing that beats looking out over the expanse, seeing the beauty of God's creation, and knowing that there is no possible way that things could have simply evolved to the state that they are.
Sometimes, the mountains we climb aren't physical ones. Sometimes its mental, other times its psychological, most of the time its spiritual. There are obstructions along the way that block our view of the path, and work must be done to get on the path again.When the obstructions are gone, we are once again clear to proceed. Often times, its not the walking on the path thats the problem, its the keeping the path in view when we have to walk around the boulders. We want to check out whats East and West of the path and see if it has any relevance. We want to explore and satisfy our creative genius inside us that says, "This path is boring, lets find something new and exciting!"
Everyone has different mountaintops to reach, each have different paths and routes to get to the top. Everyone has a different size, and type of boulder to get around, and each person sees different temptations that will prevent their getting back on the road. But with God as the Lamp, the path is made visible, and the darkness on each side of the path is intensified.

My mountain has always been knowing exactly what God wants me to do. My path is not always clear, and very often I want to explore other options and scenic routes that may make the journey more pleasurable...at least to me. A lot of times the reason for that is failing to use the Lamp. I often don't use the tools I'm given. But I am so grateful for Light when I do use it, that it seems silly to me why anyone wouldn't use it! Enter the conviction :)

Yet, God has made my path so scenic as it is, so full of excitement and interest, and the recent twists and turns He's taken me on I am convinced lead further up, not just across. He has enabled me to see peaks that dazzle my finite imagination, travel with friends to see such peaks, and know that they are my constant support even when their paths lead differently.

Putting aside the analogy, my recent trip to Colorado was a path not just across scenic gorges and through quaint towns, but as Mr. Beaver would put it, "Up and in." It was a trip of altitude, a trip of teamwork, and a trip of meaningfulness. Pikes Peak, Garden of the Gods, Colorado City, and Colorado Springs were some of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Spending time with the Seay family was, though at times laborious, chock-full of fun and laughter. It was everything I hoped it to be and more. Those who haven't been out there, need to go.
I loved every bit of the time, and though I was sad to leave, I am very sure I'll get to go back. I will go back. :) I'm hooked, line and sinker included. Yet, my Virginia is my true home, everywhere else is vacation =D

I apologize for the long post and most especially for the abstractness of the majority of it. Some will see through the analogy, some won't. That's fine. Those who see it will understand, those who don't: enjoy the scenery :)

I have reached the peak, and I intend to stay there, until I have found other peaks worth reaching...
Cum laude Rexo,
-Tim

Homeschoolers are naturally unsocialized...not!

Wed, 10 Oct 2007 22:40:21 GMT

Well, as y'all know, I'm naturally very shy and just need to be reassured every day that I have friends and family that love me, and I'm usually upstairs playing the guitar by myself when I'm not doing school or sleeping...right? Nu-uh. Nopers, not me. Unlike the stereotype homeschooler, I am blessed with so many friends and acquaintances that it would be fruitless trying to count them all. In fact, I even went to a camp-out a few weeks ago with my church and was so unsocialized as to be a quarterback and pick my own team members. Yes sirree, I am socially inept, I am friend-deprived, I am needing SERIOUS help. =D Lol, what would life be without a lil, un poco, sarcasm?

The camp-out as Alex and Jon have said was truly amazing. The weather could not, in my opinion, have been any better suited for the time we were out there. It was simply perfect. Hayrides, campfires, stories around campfires, tree-climbing, zip-lining, playing flag football, singing psalms and dancing were all major players at our church's 2nd Annual Fall Camp-out. Unfortunately, as most social events go, it was all too short. To snag a phrase from Mr. Bilbo Baggins, "[three days] is indeed too short a time to spend among such excellent and admirable [church-people]." It really should've been about a week long, to allow for enough "meshing." But, as it was, it was just awesome. And, of course, the contra-dancing was the highlight (at least for me) of the entire time. I could have very easily "danced the night (and morning) away."

Well, now that the camp is over, I have nothing to bide my time with, but school and the odd soccer-outing with friends at CNU. Well, that is, not until the 22nd of the month :)))) Yes sirree, Mom and I will be cavorting out to Colorado to help this really weird and crazy (* big smiles *) family move their belongings from one house to another. We will be out there for a most glorious two weeks, and even though its the same amount of time away, I'm wondering how in the world I'm going to survive until then. Math will dominate my time in the interim no doubt, but I will gladly pay the price of my freedom now, for a bit later.=D Now, I realize that this could very easily come across as gloating, for which I am very sorry, but I am SOOO psyched that I can hardly help it. So yeah, there is my explanation.
I will try and post when I'm out there, but we'll just have to see...

Have a wonderful evening, and remember that in a few weeks it's the Reformation we're supposed to be celebrating, not jack-o-lanterns and ghoulish and ghastly artificial visages. Jesus is indeed the Reason for this most colorful Season

P.S. In case you're wondering, Walden is in fact a good book - you just have to get past the new-agist philosophy.

Life is like a Photoshop image...

Thu, 20 Sep 2007 19:27:05 GMT

Life is like...a photoshop image. It's constantly changing. There are times when you say, "Ouch, yuck!" And their are times when its so vibrant you don't know what to say. You ask people to take a look and some say, "Oh. wow. amazing." While others say, "Good heavens! Thats stunning!!! How did you do that!??!!?" And sometimes it's so overwhelming, you don't know what to do with it. Should you brighten it? Or would contrast be a better approach...hmmm...maybe adding a little warmth is *just* what it needs. Yet, there are sometimes when it needs to look a little cooler, so you can have an excuse to roll down the sleeves and put some socks on.

Life is always changing for me, and many times I wonder if it will ever *stop* changing. I'm so overwhelmed with every aspect sometimes, that it seems that no matter what I do, how good it looks, something else needs to change for it to really look good. Warmth helps, but at times its nausea that comes, not comfort. And when its blue, I get a brain-freeze. Whatever can I do?

Thankfully, *I* don't have to do anything. Dad I were discussing this evening whether or not God actually abolished the covenant of works (the one we couldn't be faithful to), and an interesting idea surfaced. He didn't, because it was His Son that fulfilled it for us. Am I saved by works? Absolutely! Just not by mine :) Thus our covenant, the Covenant of Grace, is made apparent. God gives me grace when I am so overwhelmed by even the good things that happen, and turns the result into what he wants it to be. Isn't it wonderful to know that you, like me, don't have to worry about what *you* will have to do? God is the one who has done it for us. What we need to do is trust that the result - the end product - will be *just* perfect.Because something perfect can only be done someone who *is* perfect =) At the same time, we can't be passive, simply *trusting* that it will happen, without doing anything. Paul says that "faith without works is dead," and so the balance is struck when we have faith to believe in the result, and trust that God will give us grace to accomplish His means.

Created for A Purpose

Mon, 06 Aug 2007 20:55:17 GMT

I love life...honest, I really do! It has it's ups and downs, but mostly it has its ups... You just have to look up to see them =D God has given me so many blessings over the past few weeks, and I apologize for being too busy to share them with you.

School over-the-summer has been quite a new system, and I'm still trying to get used to it. Monday through Friday I do school 8AM to 4PM, with very few breaks. After doing debate for 3 years, and consequently losing alot of time for school, I have literally embraced the work that I haven't been able to do for so long. History has taken on new meaning for me, Math and Science are fascinating to me, and Rhetoric and Civics have been absolutely amazing. I never knew school be so much fun. In fact I am enjoying it so much that I have guard myself against being a workaholic, and am very worried that I will not be able to focus on debate because how overwhelming my senior year is turning out to be. I would very much appreciate your prayers in this area.

Apart from school, life has been very rewarding. Though I haven't been able to take many impromptu breaks, I have been able to consistently get ahead for Tuesdays so that Andrew and I can go and play golf or just hit range balls at the driving range. Those outings have been most excellent for "brother-bonding" between Andrew and I, and am realizing what an awesome and unique brother he is (I wish I hadn't been so blind to not see this earlier!). Truly, God has blessed me with amazing and gifted siblings.

Well, as some of y'all know, Dad turned 50 on the 31st, and so he is now officially "old." Haha, not really, and please don't let him know I said that ;) We planned a huge surprise party for him on July's family game night, and so when he expected to see about 20-30 people, he ended up getting congratulated by almost 100! It was totally awesome... Unfortunately, I forgot my camera, so pictures from the event won't be coming from my end, and I apologize (bad llama). But we still had fun! :)

Well, I shall not bore you with more extraneous details as I'm sure I did in my last post, but I am sincerely grateful to you for wanting me to update and inform you on how God has been blessing me recently. Hope y'all are having a blessed day!

Soli Deo Gloria,

-Tim

Wednesday, June 27, 2007

Wed, 27 Jun 2007 17:24:43 GMT

Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, “To fill the hour – that is happiness.” In this past month that I haven’t posted, I have indeed “filled the hour.” It has to some extent led to happiness, but my not posting has undoubtedly filled you with un-happiness. This is indeed tragic, as my job as postmaster is to fill you with all happiness and joy. This is definitely not leading you in the “pursuit of happiness.” So, without further ado, I shall enlighten you with what has been happening in the past month or so since I have posted. First of all, on a sad note, a family very close to my own left for the great expanse out West, in specifically Colorado.

They shall be very missed…

The next is that we had an absolutely wonderful gala! As usual Mr. and Mrs. Carrol ran the evening, and did a fabulous job. Speaking for all those who were there, I think I can say, we were tired from much fun being had J

That week, I got my license! So beware all drivers, I have been set loose on the roads!

(The new car I hope to be getting soon J)

Not long after the family left for Colorado, I had my reunion with friends from PA, GA, MD and the great state of Virginia. Needless to say, it was TONS of fun. Serious badminton tournaments, filming Cingular “raising-the-bar” adds, voracious canoeing, chocolate fountains, and dressing up and seeing the premiere of Pirates 3: End of the World. Obviously this is only a sampling of what we did, but we definitely had fun doing it all :)

Not too much long after that…I was again reunited with fellow SWAT members. This time at their place! Chris and I were going to the Knife and Cutting Expo in Atlanta, and needed a place to stay, and so the Hendrickson’s willingly provided us with lodging, food and awesome fellowship (not to mention Die Hard movies J - thanks Matt).

(I had to include the Converse shoe shot J)

After we got back from Atlanta and staying with the Hendricksons (sniff sniff), we had to jump almost right into the Jamestown Quadricentennial hosted by Vision Forum. It was quite a week of learning from not just one person, but many! Dr’s. Jehle, Foster, Morecraft, and many others were just aMazZiNg! It was cool being a part of something that influential and to realize the potential I have to lead my family (when I have one – hopefully not too far away) in proclaiming His goodness to us over the past 400 years.

I also got to be a part of the video crew the entire week! It was most cool just being able to hang out with the guys that I got to know at the History of the World Conf. (July 2006) and the Entrepreneurial Boot Camp (August 2006).

In any case, God was truly glorified in the activities there, and I hope to be at the 400^th Anniversary of the landing of the Pilgrims at Plymouth in 2020 with my own family!

That’s really most of what’s been happening recently…I’ve been very busy, and God’s been very good in keeping the family together through all of what my mom likes to call “hoopla.” In the near future, I’ll be getting my formal license on the 12^th of July, and so it will be very nice to not have to carry around a blue paper and my permit to symbolize my license :)

Have a great week, y’all, and may God bless you as seek to glorify Him!

-Tim

Joshua 24:2,15
