Snow...

Wow...so we got a whole lot of snow here...we didn't have class yesterday or the day before. Now its getting pretty nasty...the snow is getting brown. Ugh, that's the worst part...anyway...

So this week was missions week...and the dude that spoke in chapel on Monday, and was supposed Wednesday too, is a professional photographer/ missionary. His name is Brad Guice...now what was really sweet about Brad is that he kind of came from a church background when he was younger, but as he grew up he started doing drugs, and was eventually addicted to crack. But on of his friends started ministering to him and he turned his life back around. But anyway so what he does is he goes on missions trips with different organizations and takes pictures of the conditions and the people that they are there to help. I just think that he has maybe one of the coolest jobs in the world...it just goes to show that God can use anyone, no matter what your talents are, no matter what your background, He will use you to accomplish His will.

Anyway i just thought i would share that with you guys...be sure to check out Brad Guice's pictures online at this site...

Hey there...

So today I decided to get a blog. Since I'm on the computer a lot for school anyway I figured it would be easier than a journal. This isn't going to be one of those real in depth type things...just what God is doing in my life and doing through the people around me.

So my roommate, Drew, showed me this video the other day...and i just thought it was amazing...

God of Second Chances

If you listen closely at the end you can hear what the homeless man says:

"Trying to make it? No man. I aint trying to make it, Im making it. Jah puts His soldiers everywhere. Jah says, Yea though you walk through the valley of the shadow of death, So He places some of us, in that valley."

What struck me was that this guy did not want to stop...he wanted to keep on kneeling there and worshiping, he would have been there all day if the song hadn't ended. He is praising God in every situation. I think so many times we forget that our worship needs to go beyond the end of the song, beyond the end of the services on Sunday...Everything that we do should be to worship the One who created us. It doesn't matter what it is, it could be leading a bible study, or just hanging out with a bunch of dudes. Everything you do should be in worship of Him...everything.
In the words of Ross King, "worship is more than a song".

Anyway, that's what I've been thinking about for the past day or so...
