Attention fellow SACSers!… This Friday night at 7:00 at my house some of us seniors are
going to be hosting a (low key) worship time at my house. We’ll have
coffee and maybe have some snacks and hang out for a while. It’ll be
fun but we’re really going to have a good time of worship so if you
don’t want to worship don’t come. We just want to see Jesus glorified
in our lives not just at SACS but for real, where life actually
happens, in our daily life. So feel free to come. Bring a Bible and
ready heart, we’re here to meet with God!

    Hey guys, I thought it was time for a little mid-break update! I hope ya’ll are having the best time ever, ’cause I’m having a ton of fun. Let’s see, last Saturday a bunch of us went to a David Gray and Aqualung show! It was pretty sweet. David Gray’s drummer rocked some serious sock, and Aqualung was much better than the album, which was a nice little suprise. Oh yeah, it was at the Backyard in Austin! That venue was so good, definately one of the best I’ve been to!
   
    Oh yeah, Jim got some new vocal mics for el studio and we’ve been messing around with those. We recorded one of my newest songs. I like it but it needs some work. Oh by the way, I began last night recording demos for all of my songs for my cd. We’re going to begin right at summer, but I’m going to do a demo cd for Jim and Steve (another friend) who will be the producers. They’ll arrange the songs and write parts for other instruments and stuff. It’s going to be a blast!

    Anyway, Eastgate is tonight and you’re all invited. I think Scott is out of town but that’s alright. Have a wonderful break, friends! I can’t wait to hear all about it!

GeeeeeeeWhizzzz. Why is it that my mind is always so cloudy, so much going on but maybe very little of any importance. I need to be taking the next step, not so stagnant as this. Why is that I haven’t felt used of God in many months. Am I just to be born, live to get rich, and die. Crap this self-importance, self-acknowledging even seems to be where all the crap starts… Kind of stream of consciousness, not to happy, but I think maybe on reading through some of the answers are found in the questions. My mind has been over-taken with thoughts of “my” future, and maybe that is why I am doing nothing that seems anointed by God. Christ didn’t even set out to accomplish His will. He set out to do the will of His Father. Maybe I should give college less consideration and just live for other people. Just a thought. Think about it, don’t necessarily respond.*

*whenever I give a counter-point, I usually haven’t listened to what has first been said.

Hey everybody… March 11, you are probably going to want to go to a david gray and aqualung show in austin. It’s the first Saturday of spring break. yep.

If the price of relevance = softening the message of the Gospel, then it is not worth it. Just a thought. Ben, Kris, Me, Will, and Danny all went to La Cantera today and shopped all around. It was a wonderful journey. Jennifer Gately ended up meeting us and patiently watched us each lunch and a good time was had by all. Uhhhmmm… I think I’m going to go take a nap and then work on homework. Adios!

Hey everyboday! I took myself out for Valentines. (que sera sera) ‘Twas fun. It’s okay because Mr. Darcy, Elizabeth, and Jane kept me company. I ate at K-mac’s… place of work?… Pappa Nachos. It was tastilly delightful, and K-Mac was a wonderful wonderful hostess. Anyways, I’ve got nine “keeper” songs finished, and need to write one more before I start recording an album. I’ll most likely start recording late next month. I am uber excited and I hope you guys are too. Here’s the album order except for wherever the last (tenth) song is going to go.

Oasis
Push You Away
Fall in Love with You
Letting Go
Go in Peace
Ryan
If No One Ever
Stagnant
Hold On

To released…. eh… sometime during the summer ’cause I want to sound great when I’m done. Any suggestions for an Album title. Leave comments for titles. “I think it’d be fun.”

Much love and all that mushy stuff on this most joyous of days!

BTW: SUFJAN STEVENS IS THE MAN!!!!!!!

Yo, friends!!!! I’ve got a new song up on my myspace… download it, love it, and share it! Love you guys, bah!

Intellect… it is not my friend. I just don’t believe it has any worth. It sure makes me feel important, but that’s all. I kind of think it leads to death. When I’m honest with myself, I know that I don’t have the answers and I can depend on the One who does. When intellect comes into my life, I start creating answers (albeit religious ones) that I perceive. However, the truth is, I do not know all things, so why should I look within myself when I can go to the One who knows everything. Lord I love You and thank You for Your faithfulness and provision. For the message of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to those who are being saved , it is the gift of life, (Somewhere in There).

Love You guys. I really do.

I want to be your hands./I want to be your feet. I’ll go where you send me. I’ll go where You send me.

So, I have wonderful friends, a wonderful family, a wonderful house, etc, but that’s just not enough. The restlessness of the human spirit amazes me, and I think this a bad thing. I have this cycle I go through. It’s called discontent syndrome. It’s like this. Things are sweet and God is honestly active in my life and then after a short amount of time or even a long amount of time, my mind decides that this place of living in God’s blessing doesn’t satisfy some strange part of me that is constantly wanting the next thing. God doesn’t want us to be “unable to wait for the next thing.” Instead, he wants us to delight. Period. Not to want or to desire, but to delight and delight and delight in HIm. You know, maybe God really does desire obedience rather than sacrifice. And sometimes, that obedience is just to be silent and joyfully inactive in the times where nothing is happening. When God moves you, calls you to do something, move in that direction. When God is silent, do nothing. He wants you to do nothing…

Ok so my dad is ridiculous! I AM AMAZED! He’s on the other couch next to me, and I woke him up twice to say he should go to bed because he’s snoring like a monster! He says, “I’ll be good,” and within 30 seconds is once again sawing logs like a madman! I wake him up again, this time unrelenting… and he finally wakes up for real this time and remembers nothing of the second conversation. he decides to go to bed, then quickly falls BACK ASLEEP, this time lightly snoring, but I doubt it not that as soon as I press *submit,* he will once again be snoring as a monster must. I love my dad.

Luke 2:19 – but Mary treasured up all these things and pondered them in her heart.
Luke 1:46 – and Mary said, “My soul glorifies the Lord

P.S. – sooner than I predicted, prior to the publication of this little entry, my dad began shaking the house with his snores once again, and I resorted to helping him up and encouraging him, in not so many words, that the best place for him to sleep would most likely be the bedroom.

Goodnight ;O)
