So for those of you that don't know what Passion is here is a short synopsis:
Passion is a 2 day conference that is traveling all over the world, and stopping in 4 places in N. America. We are going to the one in Gwenette, Ga. Louie Giglio and Francis Chan are the main speakers. David Crowder, Chris Tomlin, and Charlie Hall are the Worship Leaders!!! Plus free lunch!! Last year there were 22,000 Christian college students in attendance, plus leaders and High school seniors. It is a conference for college students to make a difference for God's kingdom by changing the world, one towel, well, brick, sock, dollar, student at a time. It is a conference that will change your life no matter where your in your walk with Christ. And its even better when you go with the people you love, and are doing life/ministry with!!!

My Dream Car!!!

Not so sure about that being the guy of my dreams, but I love, love the VW wagon!!!

Road Trip anyone?!?!

New FRC series

I'm not sure what this series is about but I think it has something to do with being in a marriage with Christ being the center. Check it out every night at 8pm!!!

Boys

I was talking to my little brother the other day, which is strange for me. Yeah we played when we were little, but I became a middle schooler I didn't want to associate with him, and when he became a high schooler he didn't want to associate with me. I used to savor the days when he woke up late for school and I had to drive him, because then he had to talk to me a let me know what was going on.
The other night he walked into my room for no reason and we talked. Really talked for an hour. It was awesome. I got my first real glimpse of the man he is turning into. I just wished he had a better relationship with God.

Last night after the services I got a chance to talk with two of the guys that I see all the time at church, but never really get to talk to, but want to. It was really nice to get to know them who they were, and how they were feeling about the way the church was headed.

Then today I spent about 4 hours with 5 guys. I consider one to one of my closest guy friends, and 2 to be part of our family, and the 4 a family member of the first. (were you able to follow that??)

I really don't spend all that much time with our guys, and it really made me appreciate the boys in my life even more. Before I just saw them as regular members of my church family, but now I feel like I can look to them as real brothers, especially since the relationship between me and my brother has gotten so much better in the past few weeks.

And that is my Easter miracle.

I beat the Men!!!

Ok so not that I am too worried about the dead rising and walking among us, but for curiosity sake I took this test. I wondered if I could beat iPastor and Matt Miller, and I did!!!

45%

I think I lost a lot of points for a) living in a heavy populated city {theres a lot of dumb people around me that will increase my chances of getting bit} b) I don't own a gun, but hey I know how to use one does that cancel out??

Well if you want take the test and see if you can beat the "Men".

Satan among us...

Now that FRC is openly waging a war against Satan I feel more attacked that ever by him. I feel that he is targeting me because I am one of the newest staff member at the church, and that he is using the people closest to me. I'm not sure if he is using me against them, or them against me. i don't want to accuse anyone of anything, but has anyone felt that at times they just want to call out people on their behavior but not sure if your could be totally out of line?? Jesus called out His closest disciples... Jesus turned and said to Peter, "Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me; you do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men." - Matthew 16:23.
