So I was told I never post much on my blog. Yeah, this is true. I feel like Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite... "I don't really have a lot to say." But sometimes I do. So for those occasions I post, but I try not to post if I have nothing really to say.
So before you read on into this mindless drabble. This post goes out to my homie C-Lew. I finally posted. :)
Just so I can fill the void of not posting... Here are some things I've done lately...
- Started a Purpose Driven Life Group.
- Kicked some butt bowling with Compass.
- Worked 56 Hours a week. (Yes it does suck as much as it sounds, do not let anyone tell you otherwise.)
- Found some sweet sites to... well... call people Site 1 : Site 2
- Broke it down
- Shoveled Snow
- Played Guitar
- Got G-Mail (Thanks Shawn)
So yeah, a whole lot of stuff. Oh yeah, the G-Mail. It rocks! So, if you boil down these past two weeks. It's a lot of work... Mostly.
Sorry this isn't that great.. Nothing insightful... I just basically sold out.
I'm going to go do something to I can tell you all later. I feel like I should make up for you having to read this much of a post and learn nothing. My bad.

Wow what a weekend. I went to a Dare 2 Share conference in Columbus this weekend. It couldn't have been better. I got to volunteer to do security, and sometimes sold shirts and stuff. There were so many highlights, it's hard to even remember them all, but I'll just try and tell about a few.
Along with the Dare 2 Share conference there was another conference, it was an anime conference, they had about 6,000 people there from all over the U.S. Our conference had about 4,000, mostly from Ohio, Michigan & PA. The D2S Kids were taught how to share the Gospel at the conference, and how devine was it that there were 6,000 anime people there, with probably 3,000 of them skantily dressed. I'm serious, almost nothing on. The kids got the opportunity to witness and share the Gospel with these anime kids. On on occasion, when I was working at the doors to let the D2S kids into the conference an anime kid would come and ask me what they were doing and I would get the chance to tell them a little bit about God. In between events I would go and try to stir up conversations with the anime kids to learn a little bit about why they like what they do so much. If you saw the costumes, you'd realize how passionate these people are. They go all out. If they would put that much effort into following Jesus it would be amazing... and if some Christians put that much dedication and desire into their walk, it too would be amazing. I'm not kidding folks, they really go all out. And are way into it.
One kid I asked told me a little about why he liked it, so I asked him what most of the storylines revolved around. Here was his answer. "Well, most of the movies have a good guy that trys to save innocent people from evil spirits." My reply, "Kinda like Jesus... So basically good vs. evil." Then he said, "you know, I've never thought along those lines before."
Adding to the event was the David Crowder Band. These guys are amazing. The D2S kids were jumping up and down so hard that they literally shook the stage and the arena. It felt like an earthquake. Kinda scary, but so awesome to see them worshiping God so intense. After worship, I got a chance to talk to the band members. I asked Dave to sign my 1986 Chrystler Lebaron.... and he agreed! He told me that "this was an historic moment in autographs. No one ever signed a '86 Lebaron I'm sure of it." So he hooked me up with directions to bring my car to the loading area in back. I asked if he was going to be around for about 10-15 minutes. He said yes. It took me forever to find the area, but I finally did, after about a half hour. I missed him, he left like 5 minutes before I got there. However I did get one of B-Wacks drum sticks signed by the entire band as well as this sweet email when I woke up this morning...
"sorry my directions were faulty. we'll hopefully make it happen sometime down the road. thanks for your kindness and encouragement. it was fun hanging briefly.david "
How cool is that? DCB are amazing artist and really humble and nice guys. The weekend was an unforgetable experience. I also got to talk to some friends that I haven't seen for a long time. Well, I'm out. Later

So, there are actually people on this earth that can be Christian, yet be so... urgh.. Confusing, Unattractive... and well, downright frustrating. I'm talking about the kind of people that yell and scream about repenting your sins now or you'll pay for eternity, and if you or I don't, well, then we may burn forever in hell.
While I can see their motives, I don't agree. To most it doesn't come across that way. It doesn't appear to be very loving, and it's... well... kind of scary.
It's scary for two reasons.
One: That screamer and I get painted with the same brush. We do both share a passion for bringing people to Christ, however, our ways of going about attaining that goal are different. Two: it's just scarey and it doesn't show God's love.
Quite frankly, I don't think scare tactics work. I don't think it's what Jesus had in mind. Didn't Jesus say that He came to save the world, and not to condemn it? John 3:17 "For God did not send the Son into the world to judge the world, but that the world might be saved through Him."
He came to love us exactly how we are, while we were still sinners. And while the screamer thinks that he's spreading the good news. He's actually making people leary of Christianity.
To those people that may read this, that somehow came across my page. Just know this... God loves you and he's crazy about you. God loves everyone.

There's so much more that people can do besides scream "repent!" Try love. Try loving people the way that we are suppose to be.
God commands us to love.
John 13:34-35 "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another, even as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this all men will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another."

Warning, liberals wont find the following funny because they have no sense of humor. So, leave and 
get help.
Well, I wish there would be a better reason for me not posting lately... but the truth is I suck at time management and have no time to blog until usually the end of the week... mainly because I spend all my free time being diverted. But now I have some much needed rest time for the next month and a half. So here it is, a new blog. That being said, let's get into the good stuff.
Football season is in full stride. The playoffs are shaping up and this season has been, well, eventfilled. Who would've thought that the Steelers would be 11-1, the Dolphins would suck so badly, and that Payton Manning would challange Dan Marino's "unbreakable" record? Most people thought the Steelers would suck. However, you can never completely suck in their division, because there's always the Bengals and Browns to play, and the Ravens offense is streakier than a glass window washed with crisco. So the Steelers will always be able to contend in that division. It wouldn't even matter if they had John Kerry at wide out.... er.... scratch that.

I'm pretty excited for this weekend. However, I need to find a fourth job so I can have some money for Christmas gifts. So if anyone wants some webwork or videos done, let me know. I'll see what I can do. I can also play you a song and maybe do a little dance. I'm reasonable. Ok, now that my shamless plug is done, I'm going to go get a glass of milk, some fruit and find something mildly entertaining.
