    <description><![CDATA[I'm a middle school teacher by day and a youth pastor by night.  I really have a great life, my wife and I teach at the same school, and we get to do ministry together.  So, as busy as I am, I don't have to sacrifice as much family time as someone else in my position might.  I have two daughters, Hannah is 2 and Olivia was born in March.  I have recently become hooked on blogging.  You can check mine out at http://realyouthoughts.blogspot.com]]></description>

      <title>Another One Down</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/realyouth/posts/text/419964</link>
      <description><![CDATA[As of tonight, I will have finished my second book of 2008.  It was a book I hadn't heard of, prior to getting it in a box from relevant leader.  <a href="http://www.gloryrevealed.com/">Glory Revealed</a> by David Nasser, had a greater effect on me than almost any book I've ever read.  The book is broken down into small 3-5 page chapters that you read one per day, or in my case, on a couple chapters, read one over and over for a week or so, and really chew on it.  It's not the way I'm used to reading a book, but it was really effective for impacting me.  He shares all kinds of ways that God, as the title says, reveals His glory.  Some of which are obvious, but shared in a fresh way, and others that I never thought of before.  If you look back at my post <a href="http://realyouthoughts.blogspot.com/2007/11/coincidence-i-think-not.html">Coincidence, I think not</a>, you'll see the thoughts I took from one chapter.  I highly suggest this book, and I suggest reading it w/a partner.<br /><br />My rating: A++++++++<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Realyouthoughts/~4/218005324" height="1" width="1" />]]></description>

      <title>Disconnected</title>
      <link>http://virb.com/realyouth/posts/text/414137</link>
      <description><![CDATA[We canceled our internet last week, and I'm already feeling disconnected.  We figured that not having internet would cause us to be more focused on getting finished with a couple projects at home, plus we're saving a few bucks, so it sounded like a good idea.  When we finish our basement, we're switching from cable to dish and DSL, I'm already working faster, so I can get that internet back.  Until then, I probably won't be posting much, as blogger appears to be blocked almost everywhere I spend my time.  I look forward to picking up the conversation again in a month or so.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Realyouthoughts/~4/216033888" height="1" width="1" />]]></description>

      <description><![CDATA[Sorry for the long absence.  Things have been really busy around here lately, with remodeling projects, birthdays, Christmas, and a host of other things, so I haven't had much time to even read what anybody else has going on.  I'll probably be posting very sporadically over the next few weeks, because it doesn't look like things will be slowing down any time soon.  Hope you didn't miss me too much.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Realyouthoughts/~4/207657364" height="1" width="1" />]]></description>

He just got his xbox 360 in the mail a few days ago.  It's really simple, and would cost you very little.  You just need to follow <a href="http://www.youripodtouch4free.com/index.php?ref=4421069">this link</a>, and sign up for one of the advertisers' offers.  If you follow my referral, I get a credit.  I signed up for Gamefly, but I saw Netflix, Blockbuster online, and bunch of other stuff there.  You just need to try it.  You can cancel w/in a month if you don't like the offer.  I'd really appreciate your help in getting an iPod Touch for free.  Just go <a href="http://www.youripodtouch4free.com/index.php?ref=4421069">here</a>, and try one of the offers out.<br /><img border="0" src="http://www.youripodtouch4free.com/goods/14421069.png" width="400" height="100" /><img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/Realyouthoughts/~4/195317101" height="1" width="1" />]]></description>
