I just found this neat organization called Adopt a Sniper and they help our snipers get better equipment. I have a lot of respect for snipers and the job they do is one of the most difficult but also one of the most beneficial to the troops around them. It is also the path I would pursue if I end up in the military as I have been gifted with the abilities a sniper needs. Those of you who can donate please do, it will help keep our snipers up to date with the latest equipment. Continue to keep our troops in your prayers. Well I really need to go to bed now since I have my stupid seminar at 7 am boooo poop on that :P
For those that may wonder why I end most of my posts with Semper Fi here is the definition and what it means to me. Semper Fi is Latin for always faithful. Faithful to God, Country, Family and Friends. So there you have it. Good night God Bless and as always Semper Fi

What talents has God given you?
Today at Bible study we where talking about what kinds of talents God has given us and that got me thinking on the talents and gifts he has given me. I have a natural ability to lead when needed and to follow when needed. I have all ways been good at bridging gaps between social groups like jocks, nerds/geeks and various other groups by adapting to each group in a strange kind of way, its hard to explain I guess. God has also blessed me with an understanding of technological things and a very good ability to fix almost anything. I have also been gifted with athletic ability as well. Well those are most of the talents I am aware of. Wont you share yours?
The President gave his State of the Union address today and what parts I heard where really good. At one point he started talking about our soldiers that have given their lives for the protection of our country and for the freedom of the Iraqi people. He mentioned that there was a mom and dad in the audience that had lost their son recently in Iraq and the whole audience gave them a standing ovation. There was an Iraqi woman in front of them and she turned around and gave the mom a big hug, that almost brought a tear to my eye. The President looked like he was about to shed a tear as well, it was beautiful. Continue to pray for our troops and for the Iraqi people. God Bless America. Semper Fi

Today was uneventful
Today was really uneventful. I got up and went to chapel then to bible class for our first test which turned out to be a lot easier then anticipated which was good because I study all of five mins for it. I was going to try and write something creative/funny but I am to tired to try so good night.

Not much going on
Sunday was a good day I would have written about this yesterday but I was wasted from the weekend. Anyway on Sunday I went to a growth group, which is just another name for a small group, with Luke, Emily, Sarah and Marie and we talked about transforming times in our lives. We where the only collage kids there so that was kind of nice and the other members are mid twenties to early thirties and it was a small group only about twelve people. We even got dinner there which was a nice surprise and a tasty one at that. Today was pretty uneventful went to class then took a two and half hour long nap, which I really needed, after that I did some homework and tried to study for my Bible test but I just couldn't concentrate so I started working on my programming project instead. Well time for bed. Semper Fi

Today was most excellent
Started the day off with a really good breakfast of eggs, bacon, pancakes and monkey bread, made by Bethany, at the Montgomery's, all of which was very tasty. After breakfast we had some really good conversations and questions about why and how we have a personal relationship with Christ and why some kids rebel. After that a few of us watched The Inlaws(its got your song in it Nick) it was really funny. Then I got Bethany's laptop working with the Montgomery's wireless network so she was quite happy with that and called me her hero :) hehe. Luke and I came back to the dorm and picked up some more movies and went back over there and watched Barber Shop 2 while we waited for the other peeps to show up. We then played Scene It and I had to bust out my boo whenever my team rolled crappy and that got some laughs. After that we watched Neapolitan Dynamite and finally after that movie was over we played Crack the Case and that was quite amusing. Luke and I set a new record for longest time at the Montgomery's of about thirteen hours wahooo. Man was today a great and relaxing day and lots of good quality time with friends.
Beef is good.
Luke and I went to the Purple Cow for dinner tonight and we both got big tasty hamburgers, mine was almost as big as the ones at Pot Belly Deli, it was so very tasty. After dinner we went and saw The Aviator, it was a three hour long movie and was quite good. On the way back we had some fun navigating gay Arkansas road construction. Over all a good guys night out. Well it's 3:30 and I gotta get up for breakfast in six hours so good night.

Oh my head
Stupid head colds. Bible study was good and the group was about half the size of normal which was nice. Man does it feel later then 12:20, I am probably tired from this stupid head cold but it will be gone in a day or two since I have a uber immune system and prayer, so pray for me and Guin to get over our colds quickly. GROSS I just saw an ad on TV for a gay hotline -barf- What is wrong with our societies morals? Why have we let them go down the tubes? The US is looking more and more like the Roman empire before it fell. My generation of Christians needs to step it up, get active and fight for our moral values to save our country from it self. Otherwise it won't matter if we kill all terrorist. Then the French will be able to beat us :) ugh that thought makes me cringe. Enough of my soap box for now. Please continue to pray for our country, our troops and for me. Semper Fi

Are you ready kids?
Oh! Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Today was a good day. Absorbent and yellow and porous is he! Chapel was quite good for once except for the annoying guy who sits on my left. If nautical nonsense be something you wish. He is constantly changing his octave, he'll start out in tenor or alto then try bass and soprano and flop around like a fish and then finally die. Then drop on the deck and flop like a fish! Tomorrow is Wednesday YAY! Good food, good Bible study and good times with friends. Write like this is quite amusing. Yo Joe! What do you guys think? He'll fight for freedom where ever there's trouble. This is making me think about our troops. GI Joe is there. It's GI Joe against the terrorist Fighting to save the day. And thinking about our troops gets me thinking about joining the Marines as a scout sniper, but that will not happen till after I graduate. He never gives up. Even then it will depend on a number factors. He's always there, Fighting for freedom over land and air. Like job market, if I have a family to take care and mainly what God wants me to due. Since 9/11 my once clear path has been somewhat clouded with a strong desire to go and fight for my country. He never gives up. Sometimes I really wish I could drop what I am doing and go and fight but I am almost 100% sure that is not where God wants me. He'll stay til the fights won. I continue to pray for direction and wisdom so I may discern God's path for me. GI Joe- A real hero GI Joe I am asking those who read this to pray for me and especially for our troops that are dying everyday to make our country and the rest of the world a safer place. Semper Fi

Mmmm tasty
Well not really but I did eat some real food finally and it didn't bother me one bit. On a good note I got to talk to Stacy for a bit and she is doing well and is getting really excited about graduating. She invited me to come down for it so I'm going to see if that is going to be possible. It would be great to get to see her and the rest of family down there in Texas. Good day, God Bless and as always Semper Fi

All better...
Well after a day and half of being sick I am all better and most of my friends that got sick seem to be about recovered too. Not much has happened since my last post except for puking all night Thursday and then spending most of Friday in bed. Today I was up and about and went to the store with Luke to pick up some more juice and yogurt. Since we where all sick we didn't hang out and watch movies Friday night and I didn't get to make pancakes for everyone this morning :( boo gay virus :P oh well maybe next weekend :)

Today was a good day.
I just got back from the Scottish fiddle concert and it was amazing, that kind of music speaks to my soul in a indescribable way, especially the bag pipes. It as if I belong back when most of that music was written. I really think I would be at home in the highlands with a small farm, a horse and a wife to go adventuring with. Speaking of a wife this has been on my mind quite a bit lately and I feel as if I am missing a part of me. It would be really great if a girl would smack me and say hey I like you since I am quite blind when it comes to this, but alas I don't see that happening any time soon. Oh well time for video games.

After study a few people stayed and watched Alias and right near the end when they where getting all sentimental the tape ended the girls reactions where hilarious and I busted out laughing it was great. This weekend is going to be lots of fun Friday we are going to watch movies and on Saturday we a getting together and I am cooking pancakes woohoo. Thursday I'm going to see a uber fiddle player, should be fun. Keep my mom in your prayers as she is facing some job decsions and also keep our troops and president aswell in your prayers. Good night.

Another Good Day
I am still in a good mood even though I am quite tired. Fatty hasn't touched the thermostat once today which is really strange but really good, I guess he got the message finally :) My OOP teacher told a great joke in class today: What would Abraham Lincoln say if he was alive today? Let me out of this box! LOL it cracked the whole class up LOL it still makes me laugh just thinking about it. Well that is about it for now. I'm going to go play some games before I go to bed so good night and God bless.

Yee Haw
Man was I in a good mood today. I'm not sure why because I only had about five hours of real sleep before I got woke up by fatty turning the ac on so I got up and turned it off. Then about two hours later he woke me up again and this time I yelled at him to leave the air alone. All day I have just felt really good, something has really changed in me. Adding even more to an already great day Emily made some yummy potato soup for dinner mmmm good. Off to bed I go. Semper Fi

Return from the Shadows
My journey through the shadowlands was the longest of my life and I have no wish to repeat it any time soon but I have learned more about myself and God and that I am grateful for. My reliance and trust in him is stronger then ever now and I know he can not fail me. I will acomplish any mission set before me according to his will and will be satisfied by his anwsers to my prayers. I have returned stronger and ready to rejoin the frontlines. Semper Fi

BAH girls are stupid
Maybe I will write on above topic after I finish my stupid paper for class. BAH I really need to beat something up. Wish I had a horse and some mountains to go to for a few days, alas I am stuck in stupid Arkansas without a horse or mountains.
On a better note my buddy Luke will be here this weekend so hopefully we can do some thing fun on a weekend for once.
