well pyc pretty much rocks my socks off!!!! woop woop
yeah the group rocks this year

catherine and frances make me laugh, and bill too. yall rock

sally... u know ya make me smile...

Marshall your awesome. its really nice to have someone who truly lives for christ, and not just when its appropriate...
thanks man. your an encouragment to me

I just want to make this year special. to make a difference. i know everything cant be perfect but i want it pretty close to that. but my hopes cant go anywhere unless we, as leaders, dont live out what we preach in our everyday lives, even when its not expected. its so easy to just be good when its expected and aas soon as the retreats over go back to our lives and not think anything else about it. according to scripture, your punishment for this is worse than never knowing christ at all. you have no excuse. i know you know the answers to the questions and how you ought to live. so why dont we? were straight up lazy and feel we know whats best. you know what. we dont. God isnt trying to keep us from fun but trying to make our life so much better. most dont undestand that and alot of people will never understand that. but God doesnt have any grandchildren... you have to be His child. I know i stuggle with this but im changing. and you knwo what. im so much happier and life is so much better.

God Bless

well regionals was fun. we won two games 4-0 and last cause ref 4-3. but we won our group and advanced to the quarterfinals. we dominated but just couldn finish. ended up giving up a crappy goal with like 8 min to go and lost 1-0. but for the first time im not disguisted with winning cause i know i gave it everything i had. i played the best soccer ive ever played and played it consistantly. and there were a lot of scouts there. well im so sore today... haha. and this second day off. 4 full 90 min games in 4 days is tough.

well on to some good news. i gots a new car. its a 2000 buick regal sedan with only like 47000 miles on it. its a really nice car. doesnt look or run like its 5 years old. its been serviced every 3000 miles so its in excellent condition. i like it. ill miss my little sports car but this new one will be alot more relieable for college and trips. it looks good sept from the back it looks a little grandpaish. but itll be nice and serve me well.

Like it?

God Bless... hope everyone had good fourths..

the world cup has been fun to watch even with all the teriible calls that screwed the US. im already getting little nervous bout this weekend. ha. we leave for regionals thur morning. Its in little rock this year. gonna be hot as always. im really excited. this is the best draw weve ever gotten but still anyone can win. I just pray we play well. if we do we will advance easy, but if were not clicking i going to be very worried.... i just pray i play to the best of my ability and to glorify God. Hope there are a lot of coaches there watching. Mrs Jackie asked me to lead devetional, im really nervous bout doing it but i feel i should. no one from our team has ever lead it. its always been the parents. i feel really awkard talking in front of some of my teamates about that stuff and the parents. but i know God is in control and will give me the words to say. My summer is about to go crazy. youth trip, odp camp, and summit and possibly work at camp or white water rafting or montreat. who knows. im really excited bout it all but i know its going to make the rest of the summer fly by. well im starving so i going to eat. please keep me and my team in your prayers. not that we will win but that we will play for Him and not get injured.

God Bless

Boys State

Sat, 03 Jun 2006 01:41:57 GMT

wow. i didnt think i would have fun but i had a blast. once i stopped being shy and was goofy and myself it was awesome. i hate to say it but i was sad to leave today, but i am happy to be home. to go to bed when i want, wake up after 6, and have good food. but besides that i miss all my b-town boys. ha mark and steve you guys are halerious. not sure how to spell that. ha. but if u want to know about my week just ask. i dont want to bore anyone unless they want to. ha. but it was a great week. holding a house of reps meeting at the capital in the actual house of reps room was awesome. its amazin and the yea nay and mics are fun. haha. all in all it twas a week i shant forget.. still finding sand from volleyball. ha. but this week opened my mind up to the posibility to a political career. but im not making any deccisions now. ill go where God wants me. not where i want. i dont want my selfish ambitions to get in the way of whatever Christ has planned for my life. but he has thrown another option in the pot. ha. ill leave you with my quote for the week,
"politics is latin for = lie, cheat, or whatever it takes to win"
haha. i think casey said that this week. not sure. but on a serious note id like to close with this

"Everytime i feel apart from You, everytime i feel like everything is falling apart, and i want to give up and just live in shambles You come unexepected and lift me up. You touch me and light me on fire again. I trust You, my Lord and Savior. Thanks for everything, for placing me in the right place, at the right time, at the exact moment that something so small in the state of mind i was in could mean so much. As they say stars do cross for a reason... because You mean for them to, You plan it, even if its just to touch one soul. You brought me to my knees crying, yet i've never felt so alive and joyful and meant to be in all my life. thank You."

I really didnt want to go to boys state, but i felt that God for some reason wanted me to go. Monday night, at 945 we had Bible study. Colby, a college student from state that is quite amazing, lead worship and gave a message. It was the clearest thing id ever heard in my life. I had been asking God why i was there.. and He gave an answer through Colby. colby said exactlly what i needed to hear. id had a bad day on sunday and was really strugglinh with me walk. but Colby talked about how God really is in control. How He puts certain people at certain points to see something in a light they'd never seen. how someone can look at a tree and say hey thats tall but someone else can look at it and go wow... Christ saved my life on that. God created beauty to show His majesty. It was so clear. i dont want to bore you so i wont get anymore in depth but what colby was speaking about was happening at that moment. i was there to hear that, to live that. i dont know if anyone else got anything out of that 15 min bible study but i wont forget it anytime soon. i could point at so many things that made it clear to me that i was where God wanted me but ill save that for another time. but i know that ive never felt so at home in my life. Thanks again God. You're to cool. he. hope everyone is having a great summer.

Goodbye for Now

"I'm finding my way back to sanity again
Though I don't really know what
I'm going to do when I get there
Take a breath and hold on tight
Spin around one more time
And gracefully fall back to the arms of Grace

I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

I'm looking past the shadows
Of my mind into the truth and
I'm trying to identify
The voices in my head
God which one's you?
Let me feel one more time
What it feels like to feel
And break these calluses off me
One more time

'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside your door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

I don't want a thing from you
Bet you're tired of me waiting
For the straps to fall
Off your table to the ground
I just want to be here now

'Cause I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be

I am hanging on every word you say
And even if you don't want to speak tonight
That's alright, alright with me
'Cause I want nothing more than to sit
Outside heaven's door and listen to you breathing
Is where I want to be"

ps.s "let me live for You in all my relationships, let no one get between us, this is my prayer Father"
