Xenos Summer Institute _LIVE_BLOG_

Im writing from the summer institute. Joe has challenged me to a blog-off. SO ITS ON!

 

Anyways the summer institute is pretty sweet so far, im really enjoying it. Ive been really tired today though and thinks don't seem to be sinking in that well. Im gonna go ahead and pray about it right here right now and document what I say to the lord so you know, you – meaning all the people that waist time reading my pointless blogs

 

Lord I just pray that you can help me really pay attention today and gain some knowledge and really just fill up on the spirit so that we can apply you and your principles and word to our everyday life and things we forget to. I know I forget to apply you to things and at times can be selfish and rude and careless of others feelings and what not and I just pray you can help me with all that jazz, cuz that's pretty serious. Oh God please just help me stay awake and give me the energy to listen to the things the teachers will be praying tonight and tomorrow. I thank you for this conference because its very useful and not only gets me close to you but to my brothers and sisters in Christ. I cant wait for tonight's teachings, because the small ones in between are good, but the beginning and end ones are super good usually. And also lord I just thankyou for my job and the fact im able to feed myself and not worry about food or friends or anything because I have you lord and I just thankyou for our relationship and everything you have given me .past.present. and future!!!!!!!

AMEN

 

So hopefully now I will be able to pay attention to the teachings and get convicted and edified by your word and the teachings that are ahead of me.

Oh I bought some books today at the book sale, 4 actually, 1 wasn't on sale but I had to get it, ive been wanting to read it.-Spiritual Relationships That Last, by Gary DeLashmutt I think and Dennis McCallum, it looks good and I was told it was good so that'll be sweet.

Ive postponed my reading of the NT to read the books I bought. And I pray to God that I can not get bored with them, because that happens a lot.

So anyways I cant wait for these teachings another blog will follow this one in the future, I gotta go now though so ill talk later on subjects unheard by man-out of my mouth.or brain.or whatever

 

IM OUT!

End of week fun.

PROMOTION

So I got promoted. Isn't that exciting? Not only am I going to be making newsletters now, but DESIGNING WEBPAGES! I can't wait! Oh and a dollar raise- which is pretty sweet. I can't wait to start doing websites, that's what I've wanted to do since the beginning. God is good! He sure does provide for me just about everything. Food, job, computer, probably a car soon here we'll see. As long as it's in his will it shall be done!

HC

Ohhh home church was pretty sweet. Jake had a pretty sweet teaching about the battle for Grace. Which he talked about the Antioch Controversy, which I learned was like the biggest controversy ever for God. Oh and I thought it was cool how God proved him self to Paul when he was a legalist which made him follow the lord, that was pretty cool. Afterwards we played soccer, which was pretty fun, my time won this time, and it was all raining. Anyways afterwards we went to the Morscher's pool and swam for like a half an hour.

LICENSE

Oh man I got my license now I'm going to be driving all the time!!! I can't wait! Tomorrow, after work I'm going to go drive around for awhile to just, you know have some driving time, because driving is fun. I beat Dodd in the race, he's older than me and we were having a race to see who would get there license first. And I won. I'm excited about that!

SOCCER/SWIMMING

Saturday morning we played soccer, which was random but cool, Neil called at like 11 and told me we were going to play at 12:30, at noon-ish Dodd came over and I changed then we went to the field. We had a pretty good time, played for like 3 hours. Neil totally dominated Mikey, kicked him right in the back, mike flew like 4 feet in the air; It was crazy, but sweet at the same time. Pretty soon after that we went to Morscher's pool again and swam for like an hour. Then we went back to Kyle's and I changed then it was time for CT…

CT/WORD - CTF

CT was sweet, Greg taught instead of Keith since Keith is somewhere crazy, he will be back for XSI though, actually I think he is going to be back 2morrrow. After CT we had our word activity, actually it was an OFF-WORD activity, meaning the adults have their home church that time while we plan the event. We had a pretty good time playing CTF Lyndsey was there, she's been on vacation for like ever so it was pretty cool to see her again, and Courtney, who used to come so long ago was there, that was cool too. Capture the flag was probably more fun for some of the other people, because I was in Jail with like Mike Josh and Lyndsey like the whole time. The reason I was in jail was because the coast was clear when I made a run for it, I mean Anele was the only one there to tag me, and she just got Lyndsey after chasing her, so I thought she would be like tired, but nope she had a random boost of speed and tagged me. Pretty soon after that we decided to get a drink break, and afterwards play Zombies which didn't last too long, and after that we went back to Kyle's. Just about everyone showed up but like after 5-6 minutes they all left. A pretty fun night indeed.

CAR

I'm really trying to get a car, it would be sweet to get one for free, but I doubt it will happen, I'm thinking I'm going to have to buy one, but we will see!

END THOUGHTS

Well, I'm going to go to the movies pretty soon, we're going to see Live Free or Die Hard. Which I heard was pretty sweet.

P.S.

The first half of Lake Black is now available on YouTube

The Second Half will be up soon, check my videos, or the right video bar thing to see if its there by the time u read this!

Sweetest Day EVER! (Sarcasm)

I wouldnt say today was the worst day ever, because it really wasnt, but it was pretty crazy, and when i say today was crazy, and its only 1 o clock, that means something crazy probably happeneded earlier today, right?
Yeah so anyway ill let you know///

The RIDE Home this morning
Well It sure was a ride. And usually when i get a ride home in the morning its like a smooth ride home in a car with a friend. This time its a ride home solo. Just me. And the open PATH. And a bike. Kyles bike that is. The ride home was from STOW. I rode my bike to work at 7. Thats when I left passed my house at 9 got to work at 9:15. That sure was a blast. Actually it went by faster than i expected and it was actually a record time. Used to take me 3 hours, this time only 2. I didnt even have like my MP3 player or anything, just a long ride on the path. I took a water and a gatorade, drank them - keeping enough for the whole trip. Wasnt actually that bad, except i feel horrible now that I'm at work. Oh well, oh wait forgot to tell you, the seat on that bike was hilariousely uncomfortable, sucked badly, and i still feel the pain.
_______________
On the other hand.
Remember when like I was talking about that dude Tom i would go to lunch with? The dude that i would always go to quiznos with. Well. He got fired. So far the dude i was about to invite to church got fired, and the christian buddy i was working with dissapeared. Damn. He is going to be checking his e-mail so im gonna shoot him over an email invitation and directions.

So yeah. thats it for this one i gotta get back to work.

Beginning of Week (Monday, Tuesday) July 9-10

So much stuff its hard to even start typing-

I love blogging, even though it doesn't seem like it, since of course it's a rare thing for me to do, but its fun.

All my thoughts, on life people and what's going on outside, and in my head.

Do you want to know me?

 

The answer to that question is yes. You do.

If not you wouldn't be reading this. Am I right?

 

Yes.

 

Anyways let's get started with this week so far –

Starting with Monday.

Monday started with a blurred vision and tired eyes. I had planned to wake up at 5:35 because Terry was going to take me back to Bedford at 45 after, but I guess my alarm didn't go off for some reason. Very odd it was, indeed. And I woke to my name being called, I was sleeping with my head under the blanket so the person calling my name couldn't actually tell it was me. I moved the blanket down, and man it was bright I tried to see who it was, it looked like Keith, I became confused and had no idea what was going on, then a loud BRYAN and my eyes opened completely. It was friggin' Terry, I don't know what the deal was with my alarm I swear I set it, and I know for a fact this time it wasn't for PM. Whatever - I got home eventually, and usually I go right to sleep, but instead I brushed my teeth (which was a stupid idea, cuz right after I realized I needed to eat) so then I ate, and re-brushed my teeth, realizing I was tired – passed out. I didn't have a ride to work so I went to CVS grabbed a Vitamin Water and walked to work. That day I went to lunch with my coworker Tom, since we missed our usual Friday. He's not doing so well lately, I hope he doesn't get fired, that would suck. Seems like everyone I start being cool with gets fired. First my dude Corey, he was a Christian, and we were about start teaching each other stuff but he got fired, he was going to teach me how to teach a tech class but get gods word in somehow and I was going to teach him Photoshop. But he vanished and that sucked, hopefully the same thing doesn't happen to tom. Okay, so after work Monday I sat in my chair at my desk (at home) and slipped into a weird-ass trance thing. I started day-dreaming and sat there for like 3 hours just thinking, actually no maybe 2 ½, and it hit me – MAN I should go on eBay and buy some stuff. I needed a VGA to RCA cable so I got that, and then I couldn't help myself from buying a sword. So I did. I can't believe, but I DID. I bought a F***ing SWORD!! I can't wait, I always wanted a sword. My things I've always wanted to do list is starting to get short, at this time I can't really think of anything left. One was break a cell phone in half, did it. One was buy a sword, did it. One was something else, won't mention it though. And I can't think of too much else actually. So after that I drove around B-Town for an Hour. And then called it a night////Oh wait, forgot to mention I showered this night-Yep Yep

Tuesday (Today)

Today started about 100x better than yesterday. I woke up, stretched out, walked slowly to the kitchen got some pop-tarts and some milk and took 'em back to my room. Ate. Ironed my shirt and pants. Oh don't let me get started on how much I hate wrinkles and how much I hate ironing my clothes. Let me add I burnt my friggin' self on my knee with that friggin' thing. I just wish clothes didn't get wrinkled. When I get a car I'm totally taking my clothes to the dry cleaner. I hate---im done talking about wrinkles – they suck. But after successfully ironing my clothes I went to CVS and got 2 money orders, one for the sword and one for the cable I talked about earlier. I then got picked up and went to work where I made the envelopes and sent the money orders that-(this) morning. That actually seems like a long time ago, I guess it was-9 in the morning, but oh well. So work was pretty fine until lunch time. My boss and one of my coworkers got food poisoning from the food they ordered and they were all sick all day, puking and what not. At the end of the day I took my boss home, and then my boss's husband took me home. Okay and when I got home, I went online, checked my email, turned some music on and passed out (layed down and took a nap) I woke up and my parents were home and already sleeping (8:30) and I really had to pee, like really bad. So I did. Checked my email again, talked to a couple of people then I drove to Macedonia, went to taco bell, and then home after all the driving I did I put gas in, and drove home – passed Greg Mulkey. When I got home (9:40-ish?), I got really hot for some reason and took all my clothes off, actually not all my clothes just my pants and dress shirt and socks, and put some shorts on. And that was about it. Oh forgot to mention I called smalls and chatted with him on vacation, then I called Joe, talked to him, today was his birthday, then LeJon called, and he told me he got a scholarship to ITT Tech in arts of something or something and that was cool haven't talked to him in forever(Since School). Started blogging not too long after that.

Future Speak –

2morrows Prayer group, which I have to say for, maybe the second time on here, is always sweet. I notice so many answered prayers on the days following prayer group it's amazing and just gets me excited. I've been so busy lately and unable to find time to read my Bible, by the way I'm reading the whole New Testament, I finally got into John today, actually last night but not too long last night cuz I was so tired, and I'm going to try to finish it tonight, if not 2morrow. Thursday is going to be Home Church, where I hope we either swim or hang out. We'll see.

I kind of want a massage, my back is aching lately and it's getting annoying.

I Think 1000+ Words is enough for this one so I better stop now.

Work-and a bunch of other stuff

Man my jobs so sweet, but I sure don't feel like working today, I'm tired, i woke up late. I think its almost time to leave for me today. I'm think 2:40 ish -sounds good.

I hate Fridays, people act like they hate Mondays, but man do i hate Fridays, theres like nothing to do, because I've finished everything, i mean theres something, but Friday I'm tired and i just wanna save my energy so i can party or whatever later on today. Sitting at a desk where theres no window near gets tiring also, so i occasionally get up and look out the window or drink an energy drink.

Oh guess what today for lunch i walked over to target, my usual coworker that i go to lunch with-Tom-wasn't here today, so i went to Target and got a pretzel, then i went to game stop and bought starcraft again FOR ONLY 7 bucks - the whole set!!!! And one of those cool skins for my gamecube. I'm glad the weeks over. I have JHQ cell today, for those readers out there that don't know what that is, its the kids under CHILL, (which is jr high kids) cell group, and for those who don't know what a cell group is its a bible study, named cell -meaning a cell of the body of Christ. What a catchy name right?RIGHT. No but that's gonna be Sweet, and maybe afterwards ill hang out with Joe because we haven't had discipleship in weeks.-Which was my fault-I'm not gonna speak about that u can ask me if u wanna know. But uh anyways 2morrow is the Akron aeroes game which is gonna be sweet, just about everyone is gonna be there, a couple of the dudes are doing body paint, we'll see how that goes, u bet ur hiney u can count me out on that one!

Anyways - Sunday I'm not quite sure what I'm doing, something usually comes up and i don't find a ride home and blah blah blah. That's the usual at least, some times i just laze-out(be lazy) and just chill all day. But this coming week looks promising- we got prayer meeting and home church - cant wait its gonna be sweet. Also after that week is the week of XSI!!!
XSI for those people that don't know - is Xenos Christian Fellowship in Columbus' Xenos Summer Institute. Its always amazing and such a blast i can hardly wait, I'm sitting here getting all excited just thinking about it!

Today's gonna be sweet later, that's all i gotta think about to feel happy again and not drowsy and bored like i was when i started blogging today. My parents are out of town, so i was able TO KEEP MY DIALUP PLUGGED IN ALL NIGHT!

And on top of that I SHOWERED WITH THE BATHROOM DOOR OPEN! Isn't that crazy?
I know it is. But freedoms freedom man.

Anyways I'm writing this since 2 so maybe i could write all the way to 2 40.

Hey Carlell is coming in at 3 today looks like I'm gonna miss him today. Oh well. Ill see him another day.

Works gonna be funner pretty soon here since the guy that's always nagging me - Ron is leaving. He is cool though but sometimes he gets on my nerves, and I'm sure i get on his too, and I'm sure when hes on my nerves he knows but u know what that's the way people are in the working world, i will probably never get away from that. Except the dude that's taking over is way cooler and nicer- He plays friggin starcraft! Lori told me hes a born again but I haven't talked with him about it yet. The one dude that used to work here was a christian that i talked to about it and he was cool, but one day he was gone and i never heard anything about him ever again!

So uh i think this school year is definitely my year man, i can feel it, i said something similar about last year, and it went better than the previous, plus I've been through plenty of changes, and i need to work hard to get scholarships so i can afford college, because i know that's gonna be a toughy.

Another toughy is the fact that i need a friggin car - badly, its getting annoying that i don't have one. I scheduled my test again for my license had to reschedule this time because my dad wasnt available for the time i scheduled for, my fault though since i didn't tell him until the day it was.

Anyways when i get home I'm going to do the following

• Clean up
• Shower
• Call people
• And finish Reading JOHN
• Then Neil will get me!-(And ill be on my way)

O yeah, i forgot to mention how good cell went yesterday it was pretty fun, plus i think Josh is seconds from being saved! He said hes gonna give it a try !!!!!!!! And prayer meeting was sweet too, it always is!!

Mike man if u read this dude, cheer up!

Thats it fro this one, its time for me to hit it!

Prayer Meeting, then Cell

Guys. Seriously though. The prayer meeting was sweet. We prayed about many things including the Cedar Point trip, cars, jobs, licenses, God and many things!

Joes going to teach tonight. Its going to be sweet, because afterwards we are going to play some Wii, then go swimming. Plus – yeah plus that's right I said it, PLUS- we are combining with the other dude cell. It's going to be pretty fun. The teaching is going to start soon – Like I said earlier Joes teaching, he's like one of my best buds, and a very good teacher. Everybody is playing Wii, and I'm sitting here blogging. This is going to be a wimpy one since its my first one on this site. But yeah that's it for now. More to come in the future.
