Hey guys!!!!! I'm home in the great state of TEXAS!!! Well I didn't get to play guitar in the park with Jimtoday. We were too busy. I got to meet Jim's roomate and he seems really cool. I've got four songs written so over the next few weeks I will be recording the unrecorded three and should have them on my myspace in a few weeks! I bought one of the lil' photography textbooks that's required for the photography program an NYU and I was really excited until I realize that it was a complete waste of paper and the most humanistic, female shovenist piece of poop ever! The first essay had some cool stuff in it. It said, and I believe it, that art in paintings has lost a lot of its power because it has become so easy to reproduce it through photographs. But instead of suggesting that people learn to appreciate it for what it is, it said to... well I don't remember what it said to do, but it wasn't the best option. The second third and fourth essays were pictures of naked women for no apparent reason and the fifth was about the fact that women have to think about who they are to themselves as well as other people and that they're better than men because men can just do whatever and people don't care. This all was very frustrating and I decided not to read most of it because the bulk of it was either completely useless or completely useless and naked! Don't get me wrong, I still want to study photography up there but I'm going to haved to deal with a lot of mess and weed out the stupid stuff from the good stuff. I'm also going to have to pray that God keeps me focused on Him and doesn't allow me to start analizing all the naked stuff thinking, in my selfishness, that there is some value to the devalueing of the virginity of the heart and that I can really be great or intellectual. He is the one that is to be great and thoughtful. Well I'm home! I love you guys! Have fun Jim! I'm off to bed!

Hey, man, thanks to God you are not living in Europe...you would be traumatised with the naked people...it is EVERYWHERE. That is something really usual in the european culture. I am not saying that everybody walks naked around but it is ... usual, exagerated.The last advertisment for a yogurt I saw in France was with...a naked woman.It is sad to see how people uses it...Anyway, I am happy to see that you want to follow art studies and you enjoyed your time in NY...Have a good week.
do u like that band the killers?????
I gotta admit David hearing your passion for the Lord reminds me of why I am in the ministry. (Sometimes I think California is full of passionless people passionately committed to finding another passion they can be passionless about...Chew on that one!)
ON the flip side-what a great opportunity to be a light in a darkened career. I'm sure God's gonna use you mightily.
Hey David!
You're comment was sobering to me. Thanks for the encouraging words. Lately it seems like just about every kid I've have been laboring to invest in has been bankrupting me so to speak. I know God's just allowing me to go through this to make me a better leader and discipler but it's still discouraging.
I keep having to remind myself that I am not supposed to be in it to see the fruit of my labor-I just need to trust God to bring about the passion in people's lives.
