Got it
Hey everyone well as you can see on the counter to you're right I'm only a few days until my trip. But it's paid for! Also I'm registered for college and have many early morning classes but it'll be alright cuz I'm a morning person so no big. I also met a couple of real pretty girls and that's alway nice. I even got up the nerve to talk to them which was good cuz I didn't think I'd be able to but I did and it was nice. Now if I can come up with a way to pay for my computer for college I'll be set and have everything paid for I'm so excited, but at the same time I'm a little scared. It's something I've wanted for a long time and now I'm going and I feel like it's where God wants me to be but i'm still a little nervous about the whole thing.
Alright I'm out.

The Destruction and ensuing Violence
Well for those of you in Hee haw you know about "The Incident" that happened this weekend. For those of you that don't i'll bring you up to speed. We had some of our core leadership in our youth group go and drink....heavily, then some proceed to attempt "The Deed."
Some of you I know cringe like me but I guess somehow I'm not surprised. Crap happens, people make poor choices, what will we do as christians and people that love others to help them. Yes we are mad, yes it hurts, how can we help them? This isn't rhetorical there's a comment button below respond. Not to sound cheesy but pray this will affect a lot of people and a lot of relationships.
First, love. Second, listen. Third, love. Fourth, forgive.
We must forgive even though it didn't deal w/ us fully. Well goonite.

Forgiveness.
I've been slack on updating so here we go.
God has been working on me for a while in the past few weeks. Some of my estranged relationships have come back a little. In the past year I have some relationships go down the toilet to say the least but one thing thats funny is that somehow I don't care. At some point you get so unhappy thats it's alright, but as a note for the relationships in questions they were ended with some rather hurting comments made towards me...so after what was said I dont' really care to mend them.
But what God is showing me is that first as long as I forgive them and they know it then it's cool that we don't really have contact. I was told that my walk was weak and that I was a bad Christian for one reason or another.
So I guess my point is try to mend your relationships Christ tells us that, he says the sun shouldn't set on our anger and we should forgive 77 times but just because you forgive doesn't mean you ever really have to be close again. Forgiveness is letting the pain go and not holding them responsible for the pain caused. Let it go.
On an entirely different note my trip to Romania is paid for! 100%. Also if you've been trying to visit my photo site its down and has been for a while. But it's being worked on.

Danny Deckchair
well, I have to say I absolutely loved this movie. It ranks up there with Garden State, Eternal Sunshine, and very few others. The entire time I just sat and smiled because I wanted to. Just on the inside all I could do was smile. Danny is a man tired of life he's bored and doesn't enjoy it but when he straps a bunch of helium balloons to a deckchair and is whisked away he discovers a new life. He discovers the meaning to live and enjoy life for what it is. Yes, it's a little sappy and a love story of sorts but it's still a laugh and a smile. The two go great together and for all the blokes (yes blokes...it's an australian movie, it think) go rent it and try it.
Can I say more about it? Probably, so I will. Ever experience a place where everything changes and no one is the same...for Danny it will change everything. I wish I were him all seems great for him and for once I don't think the couple gets a divorce after the movie ends. And for those of you that watch it you have to see right before the credits it makes then entire movie worth renting.
Enjoy.
