so to get things started...

LOST.
i have fallen into the trap of LOST! but then again i may not go to LOST heaven.. i did something terrible the other day... i cheated.. i found some things out that i had no business looking at... i peeked ahead. and when i mean ahead, im sayin im only in the second season... so were taking like im super in trouble. i watched a 30 second preview of the latest episode on iTunes, and was enlightened at first.... but felt extremely convicted. so please forgive me LOST! i promises to stay faithful... enough..

TRAVEL.
so sunday after church claire and i are planning to tackle an all too familiar trip down to louisiana... and we plan on getting some wedding planning done while we are there also... but other than that i really dont have much to say about it except it will be long and probably entertaining at times. but just long. 10 hours.

YOUTH LAST NIGHT.
every wednesday night, i get the opportunity after worship to sit in with the youth small groups. last night was especially good, because we had deep discussions about what we were doing to further Gods kingdom. as christians what are we doing with the knowledge that the church is instilling into us? how are we reaching out? to our friends, family, schools, city, etc... and it really

CHALLENGED.....
me to keep after Gods will for my life, and to keep a consistent prayer life, and to reach out. because all of the knowledge, and gifts, and talents arent really mine anyway. so how am i blessing others with them? how am i giving back?

Matthew 5:13-16:

You are the salt of the earth; but if the salt has lost its taste, how shall its saltiness be restored? ... You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hid... Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.

so i really thought it was cool that we never should get too old or prideful to be blessed by the discussions of teenagers, even middle schoolers. not to mention that im the one that should be on top of my game, so that i can "give back", or be a "resource" to even the kids in my church... good stuff.

thats all..
