Unexpected Beach Trip

2008-10-22T17:30:00.003-04:00

Here we go. I did the normal routine, that I do on Wednesdays, school in the morning, play guitar for C3 and then work on school. but today was alittle different. after school, my sisters called me up and told me they were at the beach so im like eff school work, so i went. needless to say we didnt do much but walk around and such. then the daunting thought came over me that i had a research paper due tomorrow and also forgot about a psychology assignment. Well luckily we had computers so i got the PSY homework done and now all i have to worry aboutis the research paper...but that will be when i get home. Anyways, it was nice getting away for awhil even tho now i have to stay up probabl late and finish my paper...no worries tho :)

Baptism

2008-10-19T23:24:00.002-04:00

So check it, Latey it has been on my heart and mind to be baptized. I have been baptized before add its not the fact that i feel unclean (sinful) but when i was first baptized, i didnt know what Jesus was all about. Something that i have kept reading over and over again is this verse:

"All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in[a] the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit.
Matthew 28:18-19

after reading this, baptism is supposed to be done after accepting Jesus and not before. Does baptism really mean anything if your not knowing what its all about and just doing it because maybe everyone else is doing it? Now im not saying baptizing babies or sprinking them with water is a bad thing but Baptism is about going public for Jesus! Baptism is MY next step and i would like to ask whoever is reading this What is YOUR next step.

One last thing i would like to mention is that Jesus walked from Galilee to the Jordan (Matthew 3:13) which is like a 60 mile walk. If Jesus walked that far to get baptized, i think its pretty important that we should also be baptized. These are just some thoughts and im sorry if i dont make sense in some areas, i have a hard time articulating words but this is what has been on my mind so any questions just ask me.

Outta The Park

2008-09-19T20:14:00.002-04:00

I heard a friend quote this and it really hit home. So i hope you get alot out of this...

To do them justice, the people who crucified Jesus did not do so because he was a bore. Quite the contrary; he was too dynamic to be safe. It has been left for later generations to muffle up that shattering personality and surround him with an atmosphere of tedium. We have declawed the lion of Judah and made him a housecat for pale priests and pious old ladies.

What if Peter had Twitter

2008-09-08T13:29:00.003-04:00

Just met this guy named Jesus–He changed my name, interesting…wonder what else He’s going to try and change?
Holy smoke…just landed a HUGE catch of fish by doing what this Rabbi said.
Just left the family business to follow Jesus–this guy captivates me.
Today Jesus fed over 5,000 men with a kids happy meal…and even multiplied the surprise!
Walked on water today for a little while–Thomas doubted whether or not I could and Judas was giving four to one odds on me drowning.
YEAH…I got it right! Jesus is the Messiah…He encouraged me.
Jesus just called me satan…I am thinking I got something wrong.
Trying to sleep…I think Jesus is praying over there…
Just cut a guys ear off, Jesus fixed it–no problem.
I think it’s over–He’s dead.
I think we’re next!
I think somethings happening…He’s not in the tomb.
He’s alive–he just walked through a flippin’ wall!
It’s ON–He just did that fish catching thing again!
He just said something about having all authority–after what I just saw…I believe it!
Just preached my first public sermon, 3,000 people received Christ…was waterlogged after the baptism service.
Two people lied about the offering today - God killed them for it - giving increase 462% afterwards.

I was goin through someone else's blog and this caught my eye so i copied and pasted it into my blog...Enjoy

So Check it, Today I got to spend the day with Kasey and her family at Gemini Springs. I got to meet her dad and is a really cool dude. He is a prankster and really funny guy. Played some bad-mitten; me and Kasey vs. her mom and dad. I think we dominated for the most part and i think Kasey's feet were nailed to the ground ; P After all that, we ate some really good food and me and Kasey decided to work it off by going on a walk on some trails. Overall, today was a really good day : ) o and the ride there is back was cool to...we beeped at her mom and dealing with car wash people! Man those car wash people are persistent on the streets!

Yesterday it was Me, Kasey, and Justin chillin at the beach and doin it up at Aunt Catfishes'. After we ate, we chilled and walked to the pier and getting mighty wet and sandy from kickin sand and water on each other. There was also so hot tub but it took forever for it to heat up so we didnt stay in there long. The waves were pretty good for body surfing and then went on another walk and me and Kasey watched just stomp on as many crabs as possible. After that exciting moment, we headed to watch Transporter 2.

Final Day w/ Robin

2008-08-25T11:04:00.002-04:00

This was my last day with Robin so we woke up and got ready to go to Newspring Church. After that we decided to hit up some places before heading to the airport. We ate at this restaurant called Five Guys and for being a burger/ hotdog joint, it was really good! After that we topped things off with a Gelatti from Rita's. MMM it was soo good! Then we headed for the airport and we had our last moment together before I headed in to get my plane ticket. Once back in FL, i couldnt believe how much water there was everywhere. Our dock was UNDER WATER! It was crazy. I thought i was in the sunshine state..guess not

I can't see that well

2008-08-24T02:11:00.002-04:00

I haven't cut my hair in a few months, and i think thats about to change if you see my portrait above...I have a striking resemblance to Cousin It from the Adams Family

Day 6 SC w/ Robin

2008-08-24T02:00:00.003-04:00

Shortly after waking up, Brian and Todd wanted to play some tennis and so we did 4 a few hours. After, went back to Brian's to cool off in the pool and off and then played some Scene It back at Robins, (which me and robin dominated). Then off again to Josh's to play tennis with him which we have played over 30 hrs this week! Incredible! and ate at the world famous Olive Garden. We now call it the "OG" since thats what one of the waitresses called it. Our waitress Denisha goes to Converse which she studies Opera and gave us a whole lesson on music and what not. Then There was another waitress there who also does opera..her name is Becky and she sang to us in front of the whole restaurant...well whoever was left that is. It was so cool! Then as we walked out, Robin sneezed and spewed everywhere! I have never laughed so hard in my life! well i take that back but it was something you wouldnt want to miss. This is my last full day with Robin :( im sad

Day 5 SC w/ Robin

2008-08-23T00:29:00.002-04:00

So by popular vote, we ate at The Beacon which is famous for a number of presidents eating here. It looks like it's nothing special but it was awesome! What else...Oh yes played the whole tennis thing again today and we pretty much chilled and watched some movies: The Heartbreak kid & Urban Legend. Greater things will be done tomorrow since it will be my last full day b4 leaving on Sunday : ( I'll keep you faithful blog readers posted.

Day 4 SC w/ Robin

2008-08-22T12:16:00.002-04:00

Today was movie day and got to experience the joys that the dollar theatre had to offer after we pounded some hardees. The dollar theatre is from the heavens and I must go more often. We watched The Zohan and the Incredible Hulk..as pictured above... non stop action and it really gets you into it! Why didn't I see this in the theatre when it came out?? Finished the day with some tennis and chilled out the house.

Team USA Basketball

2008-08-21T00:25:00.003-04:00

I really believe that this years team has got a very very good chance of winning the GOLD!

2. They have some of the best players in the NBA

3. They want this, not just for them but 4 our Country.

4. They are actually working together and amazing things are happening

5. They want to show the world what they are all about!

Day 3 SC w/ Robin

2008-08-21T00:02:00.002-04:00

Thanks to my friend Robin, i woke up being poked in the eye and my nipple nawed on...enough said it was kinda creepy. So today we went mountain climbing and it was incredible how beautiful everything was the NC had to offer. We started Running up 3 different sets of cliffs with bigger waterfalls at each level. We were such expert climbers that random old people took pics of our climbing skillz. Then goin back to the start was alot of fun. Instead of taking the trail, we went down the river/stream which was loaded with rocks to jump from. At one point i took the lead and as i was about to jump i noticed a diamond back rattle snake!!! OMG! I almost died. A detour was needed! At one point i slipped and fell in the water and i had my shoes off at the time and they went flying and got wet...oh well. Then we went to a place called The Looking Glass which had the biggest waterfall that i had ever been to in my life. It was so incredible and the pics were amazing!

Starbucks was a good energy booster b4 tennis and watching the USA girl volleyball team take the gold over China was also a very good end to an eventful day.

Day 2 SC w/Robin

2008-08-19T22:56:00.002-04:00

So we woke up this morning watched a little comedy central on the computer from bed, and then decided that we wernt being productive so we looked up movie times and headed out to eat at Jason's deli B4 watching Pineapple Express. 1st of all for being a Seth Rogan movie, it was actually better than we thought it would be in the sense that there were no sex scenes or anything like that but there were a lot of F Bombs, but besides that parts of the movie were hilarious! Then we went to Josh's (a.k.a Brickey) to play some tennis and lost horribly every time :( but did manage to win 1 game waaahoooo. After some hrs of play, a shower was calling us and tried out this Japanese restaurant which was soo cool looking inside and the food was really really really good, mmm! Now we are just chillin and gonna watch a movie after some RockBand.

Dis is my wordle!

2008-08-19T00:57:00.004-04:00

Day 1 SC w/ Robin

2008-08-18T22:20:00.002-04:00

After Robin picked me up from airport, we played 2 hours of tennis and sucked pretty bad until like the last game..and still lost. Then we ate and went on a quest for Ritas gelati... which words cant describe how yummy it was! Then we went to Bricky's house and played 4 hrs of tennis which i started dominating after the first 2 hrs of warm up. Just had some dinner( thank the lord it wasnt burned!) and now gonna watch a movie called "Be Kind Rewind"

Tomorrow is another day

So i no longer have my I pod so i cant listen to the music i want to listen to in my car but here the top 10 worship songs that i have been listening to recently in no particular order except for the last one..not a worship song:

1. Lift High (steve fee)

2. Solution (Hillsong United)

3. To know your name (Newspring Church version)

4. Healer (PlanetShakers or Hillsong)

7. Give it all (Daniel Harper)

Hillsong- This Is Our God

2008-08-03T14:57:00.002-04:00

So check it, the new Hillsong album is coming out in 2 days (August 5) and i have to say that I'm really excited about the new release. For those who don't know who Hillsong is, they are a church over in Australia which is a phenomenal church which in my opinion has some of the best worship music! The first song that i heard from this new album is called "Healer" which i heard through a video. It was a night of unified faith and expectancy, with moments all will never forget such as when Michael Gugliemucci, who has battled his own health crisis against cancer for two years, walked confidently on stage, oxygen tank in hand, declaring the promise of God and boldly Singing the words to his song ‘Healer’.

The second song that i heard which i watched through a video on the Hillsong website was called "Desert Song" which the woman who wrote it had become pregnant and something happened which she had the baby at 23 1/2 weeks, and prayed and believed that God was in control....the baby died and even through her struggle, she founded that she really needed to sing out to God.

You can look up both these songs but these songs were SO powerful and just listening to it once can you feel the presence of God...Such an amazing thing, so in 2 days, check it out cuz this new addition to the hillsong collection, you will definitely want to have!

August 5th, check it out!

C&C Canoe Trip (Last Weekend)

2008-07-26T15:01:00.002-04:00

Here we go, Here we go. Mostly everyone stayed at my house the night before the trip and it was mad crazy fun! We played risk and got dominated and depression set in around my loss at like 1 in the morning and went to bed with Timmy and Matty...( not what u think). I was rudely awoken liek 3 times through out the nite and Started yelling at people at like 4 in the morning..come on what would you have done??

So the 1st part of the canoe trip was pretty cool. I was paired with Ryan Cooper and got the most wild life action..well maybe not..more on that later. We saw a freakin Alligator like a foot from the boat in the water..and ryan started freakin out! We had alittle trouble with steering but after an hour we were pros.

The 2nd half i was paired with Kasey. She had alot of trouble the first half and i was best candidate for the job in the 2nd half. We pretty much dominated! we never tipped over and witnessed Travis and Jeremy crashing into us an tipping over. We laughed and left them. Ok the wild life...if you want to call Timmy, Joey, Matty, and Jeremy and everyone else acting like dolphins and alligators and splashing people...then yeah we had plenty of wild life!

Then it was time to go home, had Matt in the passenger seat, Kasey behind me cuz i was driving, then Christa in the middle, and then Robbie...The Ride home was very pleasant. That nite Most of us saw the new Batman Movie! AMAZING that's all i have to say..so go see it!

ok this blog is long and i tried to keep it short as possible..oh well...

2008-07-09T12:25:00.002-04:00

So check it, its been awhile again and i thought i write something new. Every week starting yesterday we and a friend choose a topic and will memorize 3 verses of scripture and have a new topic the next week. Very exciting cuz its helpful when you know what verses your quoting from the bible..I'm excited about it

The 2nd thing is that i have decided to learn 3 new songs on the guitar. Idk if it will be everyday..prolly not cuz i have lots of studying to do so prolly every other day or 3 new ones each week. Im trying to expand my music knowledge and really reach people through music because so many people are influenced by music and take it like a drug to help cope with problems... but yeah im excited about this as well

3 songs for this week...possibly more

1. You Rein by: United
2. Rain Down by: Delirious
3.You Said By: Reuben Morgan

Robins Stay and Watch 4 Bikes

2008-06-27T11:46:00.002-04:00

The last week or so has been crazy busy. One of my friends flew in from SC and have been goin non stop since he has been here. From leaving the airport and rushing to a church in somewhere past the middle of nowhere to play at a youth camp/ VBS or whatever you want to call it. From doin that everyday for 4 days and staying up to 4 everymornin and then sleeping 4 about 7 hrs started becomin a habit real fast. everyday was packed with non stop fun ness...psh right...but at least we tried to find some things to do. Well i can honestly say that IHOP loves us just cuz we brought in the most peopel in its existence for 3 days straight!

What else...we went to a metal show hosted by some of our friends...In Death We Rise...they are pretty sick you should check em out. and the eventful part of that evening was running into the Harty's Van! Thanks Tim for telling me when you A Hole..but anyways no damage really....

Late night Taco bell runs were also pretty amazing, having a van load of people at 2 in the morning and going through the line like 3 times was priceless. anywho i think the most action i had was when my friend left to go pack to SC and that night while i was in O-Town happened to hit a woman on a bicycle! yep thats right....no joke. well thats all im gonan say about that 4 the moment but lets just say it actually went better than expected

Its Been Awhile

2008-06-18T10:33:00.002-04:00

So if you are reading this, you can tell that it has been awhile since my last blog but fear not, thats about to change! So Check it, one of my best friends has recently come down from SC and we have been doin it up...
Recently we all went to this church show that he and some of my friends we playing at and hearing the pastor talk about heroes and such and as im listening tell us this story, this random girl just randomly quoted Spiderman "Sometimes you have to give up the things you want the most" and it was funny cuz the the youth paastor was just like WHat?? but he didnt really say it but anyways kinda funny had to been there..

Then after all that, got some much needed food at Cici's, Amazing so go fill up on pizza thats like 3Bucks! what else...Got the new Monoply debit card version which is like a gift from gGod cuz my brain cant calculate well in monopoly.

so yeah kinda lame bulletin but o well maybe something excting will be worth mentioning today.

2 forgive? or not 2 forgive?

2008-06-04T23:38:00.003-04:00

2 day i was studying and thinking about what someone told me. He was talking about forgiveness and how human being carry bitterness and anger in our hearts. Often at times we make up reasons to be mad at people. One thing that struck me was this: "One of the main problems in the church today is that forgiven people forget and refuse to forgive."

John 13:34-35--Love one another as i have loved you...By this all men will know your my disciples...
--We have to forgive and love one another. Acts 2:44 says that All the believers were together and had everything in common.--So they were Unified. Now unity doesn't mean that we think exactly alike on every single thing. Unity means that we are gonna love each other no matter what..doesn't matter if we agree theologically or not.

--It is completely impossible to say you love God if you have bitterness and anger in your heart towards another human being. You cant do it.

1John 2:9-11--Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates his brother is still in darkness...and if you love your brother while you are in the light, there nothing in him to make him stumble.
--Evey one had been hurt by somebody.

We all remember when Peter asks Jesus how many times we should forgive, up to 7 times but Jesus said seventy times seven or in other words seventy seven times. Jesus is saying here that there should be no limit how how much we forgive. he says that we should have an attitude about forgiveness.
--A good example comes from Matthew 18:23-27 where a man owed 10,000 talents which is like 10 million bucks and was unable to pay the king back. The king was going to put this man and his family sold to pay off the debt. But he took pity on him and cancelled the debt. The king forgave him and let him off the hook. The example has been set.
--Later in the story the man who became free from debt went to his servant and chocked him to get 5,000talents he owed him. He threw his servant in prison \. when the other servants found out, they were distressed and went and told their master.
--Its funny that the guy received pity and forgiveness of his debt yet didn't show anything for the guy who owed him. The example should be followed
--Many of us have different standards when it comes to forgiveness. We want to see God's forgiveness but at times we wont extend it to other people.

Just some thoughts

Confessions

2008-05-23T22:49:00.003-04:00

Alrighty then, its been a day or so since my last post but im not gonna be talking about what has happened to me in that last day or so. Tonight, as i was coming home from O-Town, I started thinking about my life and what I wanted to do, who I wanted to be, etc... as i pondered about these things, the more and more I thought, I felt like i was going nowhere in life...im just stagnant! Sometimes I feel I can never do the things that others have accomplished or I feel like I dont have the talents to to be apart of something great. It seems that most of my friends have a plan of what they want and how alot of them have these amazing opportunities. I am truly happy for them but sometimes I feel worthless, which I know is not true. Idk what im trying to say really but its not like i dont have a plan for my life cuz i do, but alot of times i want to do something great and reach out to people something through my spiritual gifts... I guess my biggest issue is actually taking that first step, fear has taken hold of me and has in ways crippled me. i have become to comfortable where i am at and haven't been pushing myself past my level of comfort. i dont know if im afraid of failure or is it that im afraid of success?? All i know is that i cant let this thinking effect me or is it affect?? anyways i have to keep my eyes on God and just let him really take control and trust him and know that he has something incredible for me.

that's all i have
Peace

The Mound and The Shovel

2008-05-21T16:22:00.002-04:00

So check it, my job for the day was to move some dirt, sounds easy right?? well yeah i guess but unless the dirt mound is the size of a mountain in your front yard! I can honestly say that i am proud of my work and have made a dent in the massive pile which looks like ants have built over a billion years! So yeah that was the highlight of my day was moving dirt from point A to point B and occasionally point C. So I'm hoping a good day tomorrow and I'll have it complete and if i decide to be lazy, the following day. My hands hurt and are blistering so that really SUCKS

Movies and Dreams

2008-05-18T15:57:00.002-04:00

The past couple nights, i have gotten in the habit of watching some movies before i go to bed...all of which have dealt with people dying. It just so happens that each movie I watch someone dies a horrible death or dies in a very humorus way. So last night I had this dream and one of my close friends who recently moved away was in it..and he wanted to show me how i would die...Yeah sounds pretty weird and i was like uhh ok. so we just so happend to be in a car at the time in my dream and we ran into a tree and i died..thats pretty much it. Of course when we hit, his side of the car was completely untouched and my side took all the damage! So i thank you Robin 4 killing me last night!

Black Belts And One Crazy Night!

2008-05-17T17:51:00.004-04:00

Here we go, Last night i was privileged to be apart of my schools Black Belt Test. These events are so fun to be at just because you make the testers go through hell and test to see if their heart is really in it. I cant give you all the details but we started of doing 2 hours of hardcore kickboxing and then running them all over deland. One destination was Earl Brown Park and spraying them with squirt guns as they ran by and when they were doing push ups was priceless. Sorry to say we had to leave early because they was a gang fight about to take place and when people start shouting WEST SIDE or SOUTH SIDE, you know somethings about to go down... So We went back to the school and drilled them there..me and my friend Jeff came up with some pretty intense drills and did that for about 30 min or so. They looked like Hell after that. So all us black belts got hungry and went to Gators where we ate and most of them besides me and Jeff couldnt drink so we were alittle bummed but oh well...But the we made the black belt candidates bust tables and work in the kitchen and do alot of embarrassing crap...one such thing as Kareoke. Must have stayed for about 3 hrs or so...and I couldnt believe that 1 of my instructors got this girls #... It was amazing and funny how he did it!Much more stuff happened later but the beach part was the best. We took everyone to the beach and watched the candidates just meditate and focus and watch them perfrom their forms on the beach... its very calming. Blah Blah Blah more happened and then I went home and passed out!

Indescribable

2008-05-16T15:20:00.002-04:00

So check it. I was listening to someone the other day and he was talking about how everyone has been marked by generosity from someone else. How true. Whether its big things or little things, when someone is generous to us, we tend to remember it. He went on to a scripture from 2Corinthians 9:15-- Thanks be to God for his indescribable gift. Indescribable as something that you cant put into words. The incredible gift of Salvation. 3 points i would like to mention...
1. We didn't ask for it
--When it comes to salvation we didnt ask for it, now some will say that yeah i said the prayer and did this and that etc...but God came up with the idea not us...its not like we said God, hey God, i got an idea, why dont you rescue me from a meaningless life or hey God, why dont you heal me form the pain of my past...
Ephesians 2:5-9-- For it is by grace you've been saved, through faith--and this is not from yourselves.It is the gift of God, not by works so that no one can boast.

2. We didnt deserve it
--Romans 6:23-- "For the wages of sin is death" wage is something you earn..." but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
--Everybody dies, but not everybody has to go to hell. Death is eternal separation from God.
--God gave a gift we didnt deserve.
--God is not a taker but a giver. A generous God.....John 3:16 will tell what God gave.

3.He gave it anyway
--Most people when they see someone they have never met will say they dont like them...why?? maybe its because how they dress or they walk funny... Kinda the same thing people say about God...There are some people who say they dont want anythng to do with God but they dont take the time to know him and investigate who he is.
--we are called to give
--We make a difference 1 life at a time.

Some thoughts for the day

Art of grass cutting & The way of the ninja

2008-05-15T20:24:00.002-04:00

Here we go, so i was a little disappointed today when i checked my bank statement online and discovering that all i had left was just a puny 9 bucks...So i got this brilliant idea and revelation that tomorrow is payday since its Friday and i would cut the grass to earn my dough. I was pretty impressed with my self that i cut 2 lawns and did all the edging and weed whacking in just over an hour! A new record. So my last lawn awaits me tomorrow. I found myself driving back to my karate school 2night for some strange reason...idk why i was going back cuz i had this crazy workout yesterday and sore to the core! We had our english instructor Chris teach and he's always i fun guy to talk to and mess with but be warned he's pretty hard core! The worst thing was the pyramids we had to do the night before but luckily didn't do them tonight. Pyramids for us is starting out with 3 push ups and then go to 5 crunches and then add 3 more to the push ups and add 5 to the crunches until we reach a certain point then work our way back down to the original 3 push ups and 5 crunches. Yeah it really sucked! I was glad i went cuz I'm always looking 4 ways to improve my skills in something that i have been involved with for over 5 years! That's it for tonight..

Earth & Water

2008-05-14T17:56:00.003-04:00

So yeah, I spent the night at Trents house falling asleep with Justin P by my side(dont ask) watching 300. Pretty amzing movie so go and watch it. The next thing i know im awakened by Trents gay alarm clock on his phone which could be from a childrens movie...It kept goin off and off until trent was finally smacked to shut it off. Today was the day we went surfing and high hopes of actually getting up on the bored 4 once. We finally get in the water and it froze my nuts off! Justin and Trent went 1st bcuz there were only 2 surfboards. when it was finally my turn, I crashed immediately into the sand and crapped up my back pretty bad! I never stood up but i did become a professional knee surfer. We sat on the beach for awhile and watched some fat people throw the frisbee and sucking at catching it so it was freaking hilarious watching them run after the frisbee. Definately got our entertainment for about 2 days! When i got home i noticed how burnt i was and how painful the shower will be...Painful yet refreshing

All New

2008-05-13T17:35:00.002-04:00

So im trying to get into the whole blogging thing...The hardest part is trying to set things up the way i want them! Im really new at this and just cant seem to figure any of this editing out. I guess one day i'll figure this out! So today was alittle different than other days, today i woke up to a vaccume cleaner being turned on right next to my head, and me freaking out coming out of a deep sleep. Also the fact that my cat regurgitated on my floor and on some of my clothes!...that cat was thrown out the window... and today is my sisters b-day. Shopping for her isnt the easiest thing to do. Thats pretty much the extent of my day and i guess this will do for my first blog so
