yknow what? ...i'm really exited right now because in three weeks i'll have quit work and be at college. i guess that's kind of an oxymoron but you get the idea.

our neighbors from new york stayed the night with us last night as they were passing through, and it was really nice to have some good Christian fellowship. they are one of the most awesome families i know.

i've got back to listening to some old stuff again like keith green and the imperials, and that's been really refreshing too. i've been making more time for the Lord lately, and now i cant believe i let Him go so much. man, when you spend time with God and really seek his face, you don't have to worry about anything else, cause it all just falls into place. don't ever worry about anything... your school, your money, especially your job. just do like colossians 3:23 says... "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men."

"O you of little faith... do not worry, saying, 'What shall we eat?' or '?What shall we drink?' or 'What shall we wear?'  For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them.  But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."

hey friends, how are all you guys?

i can't believe it's been over a month since i last wrote anything. time flies when you're working. i know that sounds like a lame excuse, but it's true. i just got back from a one-week out-of-town job. i worked twelve hours every single day last week, sixteen hours thursday and sunday. but hey, it get'sme the money i need for college.

there's not much else to tell you, just the same ol' same ol'.  all work and no play makes joe a dull boy, huh? but i only have five more weeks of it. i'm looking forward to the end, i can tell you that much.

anyway, happy fourth of july. God bless America.

hey guys. sorry it's been so long since i've posted. work is a crazy thing. i just worked overtime four days in a row. worked thirteen hours yesterday in a steaming hot engine room. fun stuff...first time in my life i've ever had a black face without making it that way on purpose.

i don't mave much time for anything...i don't even get down to the beach much. the worst part of it is I find myself skipping my quiet times alot, so i'm missing my tete a tete with God.

just pray for me guys. pray that in the midst of this mess i'll keep my schedule and priorities straight. pray that i'll get myself into bed early enough each night to get at least eight hours, 'cause i need it.

i make my life a prrayer to you...

i want to do what you want me to..

no empty words, and no white lies...

no token prayers, no compromise.

i'm feeling really relieved right now, but i'm gonna feel even better tomorrow. yesterday i took my five hour driving course(yeah, five straight hours!) so i can take my road test, and i finished all but my last final on friday. so now i'm pretty well off. tomorrow i just haveto take that last final and make an appointment for my road test, then i can buy my ticket for VA beach.

pray that i'll be able to get an appointment fot the road test in the next week or so. people say it's practically impossible, but if God want's me to have it before i leave, He'll get it for me.

just watched Finding Neverland for the first time last night. it was one of the better written movies that've come out in a while, but like most it can't seem to come grips with consequences. their marriage gets messed up, they say bye, and that's the end...everything's fine. kinda like Flight of the Phoenix, yknow, where the guy is cruel and brutish the whole movie and at the end he's able to suddenly be this heroic, amiable guy. our country just can't seem to figure out that wrong has its consequences.

man, i have a lot to thank the Lord for this week. first off: i got accepted to patrick henry. and God has working circumstances this week so that my workload(specifically school and GED testing) has been cut almost in half. well...at least it seems that way to me. and he provided a really good new job op for me.

people smile at me and ask me what it is\ that makes them want to be just like i am\ but i just point to You and tell them "yes, it's true\ i'm no special one, i'm just one man"...it's because of You.   ~keith green
