ok i must say that lately i have been a huge myspace addict. i went searching for people with whatever kinds of things like: who lives in my area, goes to ECU, went to ECU, etc. well i started to look at the religion area. i really cant tell you how disappointed i am in humanity. or at least the ones on myspace. try this sometime. go to myspace and look at profiles. see who claims to be a Christian, but in their profile they talk about going partying, curses alot, sex,etc. ok so now as im typing this i realize how creepy this is. man i gotta form a myspace help group or something.

ok new topic.

so lately i cant help but think about my friend in college that i used to hang out with weekly. I wont say his name, but i will say that hes Muslim. I feel real remorse for him. we had great conversations and became a great friend over a couple of months. one time we met and he asked me if i ever questioned my religion. i could tell that the Holy Spirit had convicted him. Somehow in my "infinite wisdom" i got to talking about King David and how he screwed up with the whole Bathsheba thing, but he was still a man of God, because i honestly had questioned Christianity a little (stuff underlined i didnt tell him). well this totally threw him off. Muslims see King David as a prophet and prophets dont do major really bad sins. so he thought i was talking bad about David and that he could never have done that if he was a prophet. right there he "knew" that he had chosen the right religion (not Christianity) and he asked me to be careful about how i talked about David so that Allah would have mercy on me when we get to the "Last Day". SOOOOOO i just feel like now its my fault that he isnt saved today. that if i hadnt used my "infinite wisdom" then maybe the conversation would have went another direction. i know its not my responsability to save people, but it just seems like i might have ruined his view of Christians. we are still friends and we email, but now im paranoid about talking about Jesus in my emails with him. i do talk about Jesus, but its minimal. i wish i could do it over again.

Please pray for him

the Lord really blessed me today. man. ya know, sometimes we think that God doesnt listen or doesnt care even, but i tell ya prayer is exactly what gets God listening. Hes always here and sees what our hearts need, cry for, rejoice for, or even just want. prayer: who knew being on your knees would make you so strong?

God bless my brothers and sisters in Christ, the needy, those who dont know You or your peace. Remind us who and what You are. You are God, our Redeemer, Creator of all, above all and below none, one and only Lord! Amen

Do you not know? 
Have you not heard? 
The LORD is the everlasting God, 
the Creator of the ends of the earth. 
He will not grow tired or weary, 
and his understanding no one can fathom.~ Isaiah 40:28

You who bring good tidings to Zion,
       go up on a high mountain.
       You who bring good tidings to Jerusalem, 
       lift up your voice with a shout,
       lift it up, do not be afraid;
       say to the towns of Judah,
       "Here is your God!" 
 See, the Sovereign LORD comes with power,
       and his arm rules for him.
       See, his reward is with him,
       and his recompense accompanies him. 
 He tends his flock like a shepherd:
       He gathers the lambs in his arms
       and carries them close to his heart; ~ Isaiah 40:9-11

ok yall so my baby did me good. maybe i should explain......

I got rear-ended yesterday. some idiot pulled out in front of someone or pulled off the road really fast, either way i didnt see it, but the person in front of me did and i forgot what they said. Main point: everyone slams on their brakes and (no lie!) i came this l<--------->l close to hitting the guy in front of me. i mean ive got a white knuckle grip on my steering wheel! well im thinking Thank you God that i didnt hit him! then i look up in my rear-view only to see a GMC Suburban flying toward me! so i brace for impact. she hit me around 35-40 mph and i in turn hit the guy in front of me. so my bumper is pushed down, my tailgate is bent up, my bed got pushed into my cab so theres a dent there now, my back glass got knocked out of the truck (not just one pane, but the whole thing!), and my front bumper is pushed into the frame. you think that sounds bad, but listen to what happened to her car! her whole front end is mangled, radiator is destroyed, there was a leak coming from her car that looked like transmission fluid (so thats probably shot), and her door wouldnt open (so her frame may be bent)! oh and the guy in front of me has a bent rear bumper and a broken running board. in whole my truck stood up very well, especially considering the damage done to the lady's suburban! so im thinking that under any other circumstances my truck should have been messed up even more. my thoughts: God must want me to keep that truck a little longer for His work! I mean what else could have kept it from  doing more damage? And besides that im not all that sore and thats good considering i didnt take any asprin or anything like that. yeah im pretty sure it was Him! well hope that encourages yall. Praise God!
