I am moving

2006-11-24T00:21:00.000-08:00

Y’all I am moving my blog over to Blogger beta. I will close this Blogger account once I get every thing moved over. I am moving all of my post over also. All 77 or 78 of them that is, the new address is mylifes-journey.blogspot.com. One of the good things about moving everything over is I get to proof read every thing I wrote and make changes to them. So, now my old post should be easier to understand.

I Am Back In The Bloging World

2006-11-22T01:09:00.000-08:00

I have been home from Minister’s Convention a little more than a week now. Last week I really did not feel like doing anything so I did not doing anything. I know that is somewhat sad and I hate it when I feel like that.

Anyways, this week as totally has been the opposite of last week. I have been keeping my self-busy. On Monday, I cleaned out my metal box and all the unnecessary cards and papers out of my wallet. Yesterday, I updated the local VLB website. I changed it again. I know I had just finished doing that before I left for convention but it is stay this way. Except for the Church flag, I need to find a better looking one. I do not really like the version of the one I have on their. I think it is kind of overbearing and take the viewer attention away from the rest of the website, but I could be wrong. I also made CPMA certificates for our local CPMA members, I do not have any CPMA cards for this year and I wanted to have something to give to them. I will hand the certificates out tomorrow night during the CPMA service.

OK, y’all might have noticed I changed my links up again. On top is my Family, the only family I have that blogs is my parents. Then I have close friends and only have one name mention there right now. I will explain that in a minute. Then I have more friends and other websites. Anyways back to the close friends and other friend’s thing. I count all of you all friends however, over the years I have had few close friends that is with me being a military brat and all. Anyways my best friend in life has been my own brother we would talk to each other about anything and every thing and we still do from time to time. We even got in trouble for talking when we were suppose to be going to sleep at night. We even spent most of our free time together; we even played the same sports and took up for each other when others would pick the other one. I remember a time when Darren almost got in a fight with a kid because he was picking on me. Anyways, there is only one other person I have let that close to me in my life and she has always been there when I needed her. She knows almost everything there is to know about me and over the last few years, our relationship has gone through some rough times. There might have even been times when she wanted to hit me with a cast-iron skillet but we have managed to pull through every up and down life has thrown our way. I can truly say that Grace is my best friend and that is why she is the only one on my close friends list. As I get to know each over you better, y’all might end up on my close friends list also.

All right that enough of this sad stuff, if I keep thinking about it I am going to cry and we can be having that now. I think I am going to talk a nice hot bath and then go to bed since it is 1:30 in the morning now and I have to get a few things ready for service tonight when I get up.

Take it easy y’all

Until We Meet Again

2006-11-10T00:16:00.000-08:00

I would like to start by publicly thanking Jenna for her help with my template. If it were not for her, I would not have been able to get my comments to come up in the pop-up window. Thanks Jenna.

As some of you already know this weekend, we are having the Northwest Region and Western Canada Minster’s Convention. As of right now it, looks like we will have four Overseers there, yes that is right four Overseers. Are General Overseer Brother Smith will be their, Along with The North West Regional/Western Canada Overseer Brother Ray Adams. Now the last I heard Brother Michael Grant the Overseer from Alaska is planning on coming along with Brother Serafin Pimentel the Overseer from Southern Idaho, California, Nevada, and Utah. If all of this happens, it will be the most Overseers I have seen at a Ministers Convention. Of course, I did not count District Overseers; I believe we will have at least three at the convention. Along with everyone else, that gets to make his or her way to the convention. I cannot wait to see how it all goes; I know the Lord is going to bless his people.

OK, I do not know if I am going to bed tonight we are leaving in seven hours and the first person will be out of bed in five hours and thirty minutes. I still need to figure out what I am going to take with me. Well the dress pants are the easy part since I only have one pair that fits. The other pair I need to loosen in the waist and make a little longer. Anyways I need to pick out three shirts to wear with the dress pants, I think I will go with the tie on Saturday and with out it on Friday and Sunday morning. One last thing before I say goodbye until I return home, I have been working on the Victory Leaders Band web site the updated one. Yeah, I know I cannot ever leave anything the same; I am kind of like Jenna with her blog with this website. I just keep finding ways to make it better. I am not finished with it yet. There is still some thing I want to add. However, I went ahead on upload what I have so far so people could start using the new one instead of looking at the same old one. If y’all having a suggestion please let me know what they are you can leave them on my blog or you can e-mail me at jeremy.adams@victoryleadersband.org. On the other hand, if you see I have something on there I need to change. Let me know. Thanks

I Am Sore

2006-11-06T13:15:00.000-08:00

All right, I cannot even begin to tell you how sore my arms are right now. I decided to start working out again today and I have not worked out in about 10 months. Therefore, my arms are just a little sore but I know if I keep working out then after a few weeks they will not be nearly has sore and I might start gaining some weight since I only have 5% body fat. Therefore, I do not really have any fat to burn. However if I want to gain muscle then I will need to start eating three times a day so my body has something to turn into muscle.

The weather has warmed up a little bit around here and I know some do not believe me when I said it was -10 but it really was. It was around two in the morning but it has been that cold but not the last few days. It has warmed up and all the snow we had on the ground is gone and now is gray and rainy. Well, I know this is not a long post but I have things to do. Therefore, I am going to get them done.

The Long Awaited Post

2006-11-01T15:55:00.000-08:00

Hello Y’all,

How is it going? I know I have not posted in awhile and believe it our not there is not that much to tell y’all about; however there are a few things I will write about.

A few days back I decided to add all of the music in our house to my computer. That’s not been an easy task. I am almost done adding all of my parents CD’s to my computer although I know they have more CD’s that I have not seen yet. So, I will have to look for them. As of right now I have 149 hours and 35 minutes of music on my computer and I am still loading more on to it as I write this post. This does not include mine or my brother’s music and if have just as much if not more than mom and dad.

Let’s talk about the weather. Its cold here and guess what I still go outside with out a coat am I stupid or what. Don’t answer that please. It’s been between 10 below and 10 above this last week. All of this is in Celsius. Anyhow the TV says it is going to snow tonight then for the next week its going to rain before it snows again.

Well that is all I can think of for now y’all.

Cool Fact: "Our bodies are 71% saltwater, the surface of the earth is 70% water, and our blood is exactly as salty as the sea. This might explain why it is easy to fall asleep to the sounds of the ocean!"

My Part of the Basement

2006-10-16T16:57:00.000-07:00

Today I went and got some of my things out of the storage building. I also cleaned up my desk and add some things to my area of the basement. Below you will find pictures of my little area outside of the bed room Darren and I share.

This is my area just to the left is the desk Dad and Darren uses a lot.

I had a table between me and the desk when I took the picture.

Next We have my books from College

and a few other educational books.

On the wall I have my HS Diploma & Billy Mitchell Award

with some pictures from Okinawa. I also got that big fish on Okinawa.Here are all of my religious books. More Pictures from Okinawa & Football Trophies

That wraps up the tour of my little area of the basement. Come back next time and I'll show you the bathroom.

Cover Letters

2006-10-09T15:41:00.000-07:00

I have not submitted my resume for any of the jobs yet. I am trying to figure out how to write me cover letter. Ok, I have figured that part out but it is going to take me awhile to write a different cover letter for each job. The part that really stinks is that some of these jobs are with the same company. So, I will be spending the next few night writing cover letters for the different jobs that I am going to apply for. It would not be that bad but since the jobs are different then the Cover letters must also be different and customized for each job and company. I’ll write more sometime this week.

I'm Back

2006-10-06T17:32:00.000-07:00

I am home from Columbia Falls, MT. Dad and Mom do not normally let me drive that much when we take trips but I got to drive the last 4 hours on the way home. While in Columbia Falls we stayed at the Doran’s home. I enjoyed staying in the Doran’s home, I could I not enjoy spending time with those kids. I think at times Sister Rebekah thought they we bugging me a little to much but I did not really mind. I don’t know how many times they come up to me and wanted me to read a story to them. I enjoyed it. I think mom was being sneaky and took a picture of me reading the story. While in Columbia Falls I got so see some people I had not seen since we all moved away from Colorado. Brother Jacob was one of them, along with Brother Dave and Sister Melissa. I also got to meet a guy who is crazier than me. Brother Josh is a nut but in a good way.

Tonight we are going to a concert I don’t remember who we are going to see but Darren got the tickets while I was gone. Tomorrow I will be applying for a bunch of jobs and I ask that y’all pray that God will provide me a job. I will be applying in multiple cities I just really need a door to open. If it’s here in Canada or back in the States I just really need a door to open. So please pray with me that a door will open and that when it opens I will take it.

Happenings

2006-10-02T22:36:00.000-07:00

The last couple of days have kept me busy. I’ll start out with Saturday; I woke up at 8:10 AM for the bottle drive. Darren and I drove over to RJ’s house to get his truck and his sons. We started collecting bottles around 9:30 AM and finished collecting bottles at about 2:30 PM then had to take them all to the bottle depot. So we had every thing done around 4:30 PM. Needless to say I was tired when it was all said and done.

Sunday morning Dad made Appointments. I have been appointed as CPMA Leader, and Sunday School Superintendent. Darren was appointed as Music Coordinator and VLB Leader. Today I was working on my new blog background. I almost got it finished but I need to figure out how to-do something but it going to have to wait until next week.

In the morning or on Tuesday I will be heading to Columbia Falls, MT with my parents. We will be gone about three days. It will be nice for me to get out of Canada for a few days. I really do like Canada but not being able to work makes it hard to stay in the same spot doing the same thing day after day. I am normally a person that likes to stay at home but that’s only when I am working and since I am not working being at home is driving me nuts. So, this is my short break. Well, I should go get my things ready for in the morning. I’ll write y’all when I get back.

I Walked Off The End of The Earth.

2006-09-28T00:15:00.000-07:00

At least that is what some might be thinking right now since I have not posted in a really long time. Just so y’all know I have not just been sleeping on the couch. However I was sick for about 4 days last week and during that time I spent most of my time on the couch. I am doing a lot better now and am looking forward to getting things done again. Believe it or not I do get a lot done during the day but it never really seems like I have accomplished anything. Nor can I remember what I did haft the time.

Right now I am in the process of working on a new blog template. It’s going to take me some time since I like some of the functions on this one template but I don’t really like the design or the background on it. So, I will be spending some time working at that the next few weeks. I am also hoping to get out have Canada for a few days next week. That’s if I can convince Dad and Mom to take me with them on there next trip. The next one is only going to be a few days during the middle of the week and I kind of want to get out of Canada for a few days.

Well, I can’t think of anything else to write about right now. Who knows maybe I will post something on Monday and tell y’all how my weekend went.

Poll Question of the week. Should I keep my beard, turn it into a goatee, or shave it all off?

Finally Sleeping In My Bed Again!

2006-09-12T20:00:00.000-07:00

I have received all kinds of good reports from the General Assembly. Most of the reports of come from Mom, Dad, and Grace with a few from others I know. If y’all have been reading the comments I have to agree with Jenna when she said, “I think it’s the age- we’ve learned by now to live on our own.” When my parents our gone I miss being able to talk to them when ever I want. Although when I move out I could still talk to them when ever I want I just have to call, but that is maybe why I don’t miss them when they do go on trips. There are even times I wish would go on a trip because they are driving me nuts but then again that is bound to happen when you have lived with them for 22 plus years.

This last week went by fast, I do not remember much from the first part of the week. I know mom and dad got home on Tuesday. On Thursday Darren and I started painting a fence. Darren got the job and asked me if I wanted to help him and since I don’t have any money I decided to help him out. That took most of the day, and then on Friday we worked on it until about noon. Then took the weekend off and worked on it for about 6-7 hours yesterday. Now, Darren is sick so he could use your prayers.

Awhile back y’all might remember a post called, “Are You Ever Going to Sleep in Your Bed Again”, well I can now answer that question. Yes I am, since my parents have returned home I have been sleeping in my bed, and I have been sleeping a little bit better. Although I can not believe that my father has not said one word to me about sleeping in my bed. Considering that he was the one that asked me that question. He is funny at times, the other morning he closed the door to our bed room when he got up. Of course we woke me up, later that day I asked him why he did that. He said, “I did not want to take y’all up”. I looked at him and said I think if you were going to wake me up in the morning it would have been while I was sleeping on the couch. He has not shut the door since.

Camping & IPE

2006-09-03T16:03:00.000-07:00

Well my thoughts where with those at the Assembly this last week. However, I did get out this last week. On Monday I drove out to Ellison, and spent the night out there with the Busch and Hunt family's, I did some cliff jumping and just relaxing around the camp site. Then Tuesday I came back home and worked on the Bible Study for youth group. I also had to get ready for this morning services. Yesterday, Darren and I drove out to the IPE, which for the Americans it's kind of like the state fair. Anyways, the had this health tent set up so we got our weight and different things done, I was kind of shocked with what I found out. When I left Okinawa 3 years ago I weighted 150-160 lbs. Well, yesterday, when they checked my weight it was only 132.6 lbs, they also checked my height and I was 6'1''. I have a Body Mass Index of 17.5, and this was the big shocker, my Fat mass was only 7.2 lbs. Now, I don't understand this, Darren works out all the time and here are his results. Height 5'10'', weight 144.8 lbs, Body Mass Index 20.8, and his Fat Mass was 15.8 lbs. Now, how can my little brother who works out all the time have a larger fat mass than his older brother who does not work out? Just does not make any since to me. I guess I need to get married so I can start to gain some weight, I have wanted to get my weight to about 170-175 lbs but it looks like it's going to take me some time to get there now. Oh, well I also went to the rodeo last night, it was good. I am going back again tonight after church, the rodeo does not start till 8pm. So, I should be there in time for it to start. Well, I'll talk to ya'll later.

I Am Going Crazy

2006-08-23T23:14:00.000-07:00

Going on Faith, I wish I could say that right now but I think my parents would have something to say about that. OK, y'all might be wondering what I am talking about. Well, it's the General Assembly if it was up to me I would go on faith, seeing I do not have the money to go nor does my family, but if it was up to me I would just hope in a car and drive, and pray that I don't run out of gas the whole time I was driving but like I said I think my parents would have something to say about that since I don't own a car anymore and it would be there car. I would fly with them but that will cost me $340 that I don't have, which is why I would drive and pray the whole way, I guess I could pray all the away to the airport that I get a ticket and believe that there would be one there when I got there. Who knows, but as the Assembly gets closer the more I want to be there, I wanted to go last year and had the money but we where in the process of moving up here to Canada, now I almost feel like I need to be there but can't. I might be different than most people, I don't want to go and see friends, and everything, I want to go and find the will of God for the Church more than anything, I would fast the whole time I was there if it would get me there, I would sleep outside, If I had enough time I would even think about walking there (if I left today I don't think I would make it in time), so if I was to go it would have to be totally on faith. Who knows, even if I don't get to be there, it will be on my mind and every time I think about it I will pray that God's has his way.

Are You Ever Going To Sleep In Your Bed Again?

2006-08-21T20:57:00.000-07:00

It has now been 10 days since I last posted and I figure it just might be time to give y’all a new post. Oh, where to start.

Mom & Dad took a trip to Idaho last week which left Darren & I home alone, if you could say we were at home. Darren does not like to stay at home and I can only stay inside for so long. After our parents left on Monday, we went to Ellison, which is a provincial park that has some cliffs to jump off into the lake. So, Monday Ryan, Jesse, and I jumped off the cliff into the lake. It was the first time that I jumped off the cliff but it took me about 45 minutes to take the jump. The reason it took me so long is because I am afraid of heights. So, I pushed though me fear and took the jump.

I also rearranged the house; it looked a little different when they got back. It must not have looked to bad since my mother did not kill me. Or it could have been Sister Smith praying that she would not kill me or a little of both. Anyways, mom has not moved anything but Dad on the other hand, can’t just leave anything, if he does not like it he has to move it and it drives me nuts. I don’t know what I am going to do with him. Although he is dad and but being that he has the right to drive me crazy. Although I do not think that it’s far. Parents should not be aloud to drive there children crazy or nuts.

Saturday, I went cliff jumping again, but this time I went with Chad. Chad found a new ways to get to the top of the cliff but this new way you have to swim to some rocks then climb up but it saves some time. I the jump twice on Saturday, and it did not take me as long, but I still was thinking I have to be nuts, and out of my mind. So, Saturday I went cliff jumping and rock climbing. So, it was an overall good day.

I also finished working on my outline for our youth bible studies. During the next four months we are going to be taking an in depth look at the Gospel of Matthew. I hope this helps us to become more established in Christ.

Now, I am going to tell you what the title of this post is all about. Right after Dad got back from the States, he asked me if I was ever going to sleep in my bed again? For about the last 3 months I have been sleeping on the couch. For some reason I enjoy sleeping on the couch. Anyways, I told my Dad that I probably will not sleep in my bed again until I move out. The only other way I would sleep in my bed is if we do not have a couch.

Much Better

2006-08-11T18:50:00.000-07:00

I started out today by fasting breakfast. I do not know if I can really count breakfast since I do not really ever eat breakfast but I prayed during that time I would eat breakfast. That really helped me a lot. I also fasted lunch which I believe also helped me today. That is all I fasted today. I think I am going to keep praying when I would normally eat breakfast it seemed to help a lot. Well, I just that I would tell y’all how it went today.

Please Pray

2006-08-10T21:07:00.000-07:00

I would like to ask everyone to pray for me over the next few weeks. Back when I was not saved or trying to live for God I became addicted to a few things that I now wish I had never even gotten into in the first place. Anyways, since I gave my life back to God just over three years ago and have been trying to server him, I have been tried with this addiction everyday, and I have had times that have been better than others, I have gone weeks and possibly months with out giving into this addiction. However, this last week the devil has been battling me really hard with this addiction and I have given into it everyday this week. Now, I know we serve a forgiving God but he also wants us to turn from out past. Now, I have been trying over the last three years to over come these addictions but seem to keep failing. Awhile back I called Brother Chris Clarkson and he gave me a piece of advice that I have not taken yet, and I feel now is the time for me to talk that advice. For, if I do not overcome this addiction then my trying to serve the Lord is in Vain, because the Bible says no sin will enter heaven. Now, I want to be able to sever the Lord with my whole heart I want to give me everything. I don’t know why he has chosen to give me so many chances to serve him but I am grateful that he has and if it was not for a deal I mad with him when I came back to him 3 years ago I would have already given up. So when most of y’all read this I will have already started taking Brother Chris Clarkson’s advice and will be praying and fasting. I don’t know how long I will pray and fast but I feel that I need to pray and fast until I get the victory over this. Which mean I am going to have to get my body under subjection but in abstaining from food and the addiction that keep me bound and I ask that y’all pray for me that I get the victory over the addiction that I face. I know that I will get the victory but know it is a question of how bad I want it.

12 States in 16 Days

2006-08-01T09:34:00.000-07:00

Home at last. I have never been more glad to be home than I am now. We stated out on our trip just over two weeks ago. We left for Colorado and Family Camp. I enjoyed camp a lot. After camp we went to see our family in Okla. Then we had an interesting trip home but that is a story of another time, and another place. I am going to go now, and un-pack my things and get every thing cleaned up, and just maybe get my pc working again.

Off To See The Wizard, The Wonderful Wizard Of OZ!

2006-07-13T06:54:00.000-07:00

Hi Y’all,

This is going to be my last post until after the Arizona/Colorado/New Mexico/Western Texas Family Camp. After Family Camp our family is heading back to Oklahoma for about a week before our three day drive back to Canada.

OK, an update on my life. Nothing real exciting to talk about but I’ll go ahead and tell y’all what I have been up too. Sunday we had church and between services I drove out to Armstrong to spend some time with Sarah since she left Monday for the Calgary Stampede and will not be back until after I leave for the states. I also had to pick up some of my CDs from Mayling. Monday, I don’t remember doing a lot during the day, that night I picked up Dustin (aka Dusty) and went cliff diving or jumping depends on what you want to call it. I think that is all of the things I have done this week, today I am doing laundry and packing so we can leave in the morning and what ever else mom needs me to-do. If I get done in time I might go cliff jumping again but that’s only if I have time. Talk to y’all when I get to Oklahoma.

Dazed, Confused, and No Clue What To-do….

2006-07-06T10:36:00.000-07:00

Well, I know it was asked how the interview went, the interview went good and they want me enough to fill out the paper work for Human Resources and Skills Development Canada (HRSDC) so they will have the final say if I can get the job or not. I will say it’s along shot but then either way I go. If I stay in Canada, I just have to find a job and get a job. I don’t have to find a place to live or a car to drive right off the bat. Then if I keep living with mom and dad I should be able to get myself out a debt within a year. Then I would have the money coming in to go after my dreams and would be able to get student loans and not have to worry about how I was going to pay for them. Now, if I move to Glendale, I have to find a job, place to live, a car, then I don’t get out of debt and I still go to school but have no clue how I am going to pay for loans. Yeah, it sounds bad, but that is the situation I face and trying to figure out exactly what I need to-do is the hard part and that is why I have titled this post Dazed, Confused, and No Clue what to-do. Would some one please tell why choices in life could not be simpler? Well, maybe the next time I post I well have some guidance on what I am going to-do.

Happy 4th!!!!!

2006-07-04T16:56:00.000-07:00

Hello Everyone,

I hope everyone is enjoying their 4th of July. I just want to ask everyone to pray for me tomorrow. You see, I have a job interview and so far my job interviews have not gone well in Canada. However I do know if God wants me to stay in Canada then we will be able to make away for me to get a job. So, I would appreciate y'all prayers tomorrow.

My Life Story! Kinda (Re-do)

2006-06-29T15:40:00.000-07:00

Alright everyone this post is going to be slightly different than normal; however I believe that y’all will find it informative for those who I have not grown up around.

I was born in Fort Smith, Arkansas. However I do not consider myself to be from Arkansas since my mother was not living in Arkansas at the time. My mother lived in a small town just on the other side of the border called Spiro, now my father was in Tech. School with the Air Force in Texes and once he finished school we moved to Colorado Springs.

From about the time I was 3 months old until I was 8 I lived in Colorado Springs, Colorado. Now while living in El Paso County we had 33 tornado’s in 8 years. Now, they must not have been bad since I do not recall any of them. I do remember a few tornado warnings but that’s about it. That is also when I first meant a lot of the people I know today. I mean after all Ms Rebekah watched me when I was younger and man do I have some stories about her babysitting my brother and I. That is why she will not let me watch her kids for her. She knows what she did to me, and does not want me to return the favor to her kids. OK, she is not the only person I remember from then I also remember the Martinez’s and Lewis’. Oh, yeah, and that Lady that just had the baby. Yeah, Mandy and Mel can’t forget them.

Then the Air Force sent us to this small island in the middle of the ocean. I lived on Guam for the next two years of my life. I do remember and talk to a few people I meet there, like the Michaels’. While on Guam we had 2 Tropical Storms, 2 Typhoons, a Waterspout and the best one yet an 8.1 Earthquake, although online at a government website says it was only 7.8. But that’s not what they said right after it happened. Anyways, that lasted for 60 seconds, and the government website don’t tell you about all the aftershocks. I think we had an after shock that was 5.4. I mean how big does it have to be before it’s not longer an after shock?

Then we moved back to Colorado Springs, although we did not stay as long this time. This time we only had 3 tornados and a few bad snow storms. Now, I got to see people that I had not seen since moving to Guam, but at the same time got to meet new people. People like the Anders, Shuler’s (they were there the first time but I don’t remember them from then), Clarkson’s, Brock’s, Hay’s (lived in Oklahoma but came to visit Colorado), and Brother Kelly who was also there the first time but don’t remember him.

Anyhow, still have a few more stops before we are finished visiting all the places I have lived. Next stop Okinawa Japan. That’s right people I spent my high school years in Japan another island in the middle of the ocean but this one was a little bigger than Guam. This also was not my first time in Japan; we had visited Tokyo when we lived on Guam for week. While living on Okinawa we had 4 Tropical Storms, 11 Typhoons, and 2 Super Typhoons and 1 Tornado and people in Florida think they have it bad. We were being hit by an average of 4-5 storms per year. I had many good times on Okinawa but I will save them for a later date.
Now we are in Shawnee, Oklahoma back to the state where I first lived. Anyways, I lived in Oklahoma but not to much happened in my life while living in Oklahoma I mean after all we only had 2 Twisters in two years close to us compared to the 36 Twisters in 13 years in Colorado. In Oklahoma I keep busy if I was not going to college and part time at Lowe’s. I was working at Lowe’s and some other place while I was waiting for college to start back up.

Now I live in wonderful British Columbia or to be more precise Vernon and I love it. Now, I just have to decide if me trying to move back to the states is me trying to run away from something or if it’s really God telling me to move. So, I could use everyone’s prayers. One last thing, I am going to find some pictures from everywhere I have lived and place them on this blog and tell y’all some stories.

Twice in a Week

2006-06-22T16:43:00.000-07:00

I can not believe it I am posting for a second time this week. I hardly ever do that. OK, it seems like just about everyone I know in Canada is been sick or is getting sick over the last few weeks. Which kind of stinks since it is nice out, but then again that does not help much since school is not out yet either. I know I am not use to people still being in school this time of year unless it was me and that’s because mom did not give us breaks. Anyways, I don’t think I have a whole lot going on this weekend. Tomorrow night of course in youth bible study although tomorrow we are not really having a bibles study, we are having a cookout at RJ’s (I’ll have to put a picture on here so y’all know who I am talking about), then we are going to watch a video. Then Saturday, I don’t think I have anything going on Saturday but if it’s nice I want to get out of the basement and do something outside. Well, it’s another short post but it gives ya something to read about for a few minutes. Until next time, this is Jeremy signing off.

Just Because

2006-06-21T14:54:00.000-07:00

So here we go again around on another merry-go-round. Have you ever felt like you life is doing nothing but going in circles? I don’t know why I said that or even why I was thinking it but I was so, I wrote it. It gives y’all something to think about.

Let’s see what have a got accomplished this week? To be honest I don’t think I have accomplished anything this week. Although I did watch game 7 of the Stanly Cup finals, I was happy the team I was going for won. That’s right Carolina won, they beat Edmonton. So, said for those Canadian teams, Darren and I were the only two that wanted Carolina to win. Let’s see, moving plans are coming along. I have been putting in for job in the area that I will be moving too. Nope, I still am not going to tell y’all where it’s at yet. Although I will admit I am starting to stress a little bit. Well, I think that’s all I am going to say for now.

0430 and the Sun’s up

2006-06-16T06:34:00.000-07:00

God is amazing you never know what he is going to-do. Since I moved from Oklahoma last September I hardly get out of bed before 9am some times I don’t get up till around 11am. Part of it is do to the fact I worked night back in Oklahoma, so I was use to sleeping from about 7am to about noon. Last night and today God had something else in mind, I went to sleep about 11pm, then woke up this morning around 4:30 at least that’s what time it was when I looked at the clock, although I did not get up off the couch until about 4:45, takes a bit for me to wake up, anyways, I drink some OJ then laid back down but I could not go back to sleep, so I got up and took a bath, but I took a book with me and for those you don’t know me, I do not like to read. Anyways, I got some books back in Oklahoma written by John Bunyan and I had stated reading it awhile back but only got about 3 chapters read, so the other day I stated reading it over again. The book is called The Acceptable Sacrifice and he writes how a broken and contrite heart is the most precious sacrifice that we can give God. So, I read a chapter in that, then got out and went up stairs to the church and read my bible and prayed for a bit. It was nice, the first time in sometime that I was able to read my bible in peace and quit, without having to worry if someone was going to bug me. So, I am thankful I was able to spend some time alone with God and able to dwell on him for a bit, with out my mind thinking on other things.

OK, on to something else, Last night we went out with Brother Jeff and Sister Julie we had dinner at Boston Pizza and it was good. It was nice to get to know Sister Julie, I had already meet Brother Jeff from the few times he had visited the Shawnee Church. Tonight we are having a progressive dinner for the youth group activity, but its night free we are charging $5 per person, then are going to split that up between the three house we are going to tonight to help cut down on the out of pocket cost for those doing the cooking. This Sunday we are having our Sunday School Picnic which means we get to have church outside at the lake, should be a nice change. Let’s see I don’t think I have anything else to talk about right now. So, I will talk to y’all later.

Who Knows? Title It What Ya Want!

2006-06-13T15:40:00.000-07:00

Hi Y’all,

Well, I had something I was going to post then I decided not too. So, now I must come up with something new. OK, nothing new is really going on around here but if y’all have read my mothers Blog, I am planning a move. Were to you ask? You’ll just have to wait to find out. I am going to wait until all the planning is done to tell y’all. So, I have been busy typing up my resume and putting in for jobs, now I just have to find a place to stay, and a car. Yes a car, I need a cheap car, so if y’all know of a really cheap car that runs. Let me know. Well, that is my update for now. Talk to y’all later.

America, Why I Love Her

2006-06-09T01:27:00.000-07:00

America, Why I Love Her

By John Mitchum

"You ask me Why I Love Her? Well, give me time and I'll explain.

Have you seen a Kansas sunset or an Arizona rain?Have you drifted on a bayou down Louisiana way?Have you watched a cold fog drifting over San Francisco Bay?
Have you heard a bobwhite calling in the Carolina pines, Or heard the bellow of a diesel at the Appalachia mines? Does the call of Niagara thrill you when you hear her waters roar?Do you look with awe and wonder at her Massachusetts shore,Where men who braved a hard new world first stepped on Plymouth's rock?And do you think of them when you stroll along a New York City dock?
Have you seen a snowflake drifting in the Rockies, way up high?Have you seen the sun come blazing down from a bright Nevada sky?Do you hail to the Columbia as she rushes to the sea,Or bow your head at Gettysburg at our struggle to be free?
Have you seen the mighty Tetons?Have you watched an eagle soar?Have you seen the Mississippi roll along Missouri's shore?Have you felt a chill at Michigan when on a winter's day Her waters rage along the shore in thunderous display?Does the word "Aloha" make you warm?Do you stare in disbeliefWhen you see the surf come roaring in at Waimea Reef?
From Alaska's cold to the Everglades, from the Rio Grande to Maine,My heart cries out, my pulse runs fast at the might of her domain.You ask me Why I Love Her?I've a million reasons why:My beautiful America, beneath God's wide, wide sky."

Most will never really now how much I love my crounty, nor will they know that feeling I get every time I see old glory flying, or the pain I feel in side of me every time I hear the sounding of taps.

It's Going To Take Some Time

2006-06-07T00:16:00.000-07:00

Hey Y'all,

It seems like it has been forever since I last posted. I have not been real busy the last week or so but I have had a lot on my mind and that plays a small part in why I have not posted any sooner. Nothing real exciting to tell y'all about unless you want to hear about me horseback riding again. Anyways it is going to take some time, I am redoing my blog template and I am trying to find the picture I want to use and then I have to find the right colors for the text. That does not even include finding the right font. So, who knows what you will see the next time you long on. Most likely the same thing since I have some other things I need to-do this week. So, I'll talk to y'all later.

Rumor Has It

2006-05-26T00:04:00.000-07:00

That is right rumor as it. That it is time for a new post from yours truly. ME. OK, only two people have told me that it is time for a new post and one of those people do not count since I live in the same house as her. That’s right my mother does not count. She already knows what I do every day, so why would she want to read about it.

So, I bet all want to know what I have been doing all week. If I was to be honest with you not much of anything I have been really lazy this week. I have not even done my laundry yet and I normally do that on Thursday and here it is almost Friday. For that reason alone I might want to add that to my list of things to-do tomorrow or I should say when I get up since I only have a little bit to go before its Friday.

On to things I have done this week. Darren and I have gone down to the park that is next to the fire station which is a five minute walk but we drive anyways. We go there to play basketball and I will admit he has beaten me twice this week but I will also say I have beaten him twice this week. The only problem with playing basketball outside is sometimes it rains on you and that has happened to us both times we played this week.

What else have I done this week? Today I called a good friend of mine because I really need to talk to her. I have had a few things on my mind the last few days and every time something is on my mind I talk to her and for some reason she puts up with it even though she does not have the answer, she just listens. That just might be why I talk to her when things are on my mind. So, now I bet ya’ll want to know who in the world I am talking about. My little sister, Now I know most of ya’ll do not know who she is or that she is my little sister but there is a certain guy in the Blog world that likes her a lot and I will agree that he is a lucky guy but if he breaks her heart I will break his legs and arms and then he would not be so lucky. Nope, I am not going to tell ya’ll who I am talking about. Since ya’ll should be able to figure that one out on your own.

On news form Okinawa Japan. Sis, I forgot to tell you early that I got an email from Aki. You remember me telling you about him, anyways for everyone else he was my brother’s flight instructor but a good friend of mine while I was in Japan. Anyways, he is no longer a flight instructor; he is now flying JAL (Japanese Airlines) Express. He is flying an MD-81. It’s a nice step up from fly the much smaller Cessna 172.

One last thing I would like to thank Sister Smith for the information she sent me about Youth Lift Teams. I miss her so much; ok maybe I miss her cooking. I will admit it. Although I don’t Sister Rebekah got her cooking skills form her mother I have never since Sister Smiths food stick to the counter. So, Sister Rebekah this is just for you. “Go Betty, Go, Go Betty Go”) Must say those were the best Cinnamon Rolls I have ever had. Boy am I glad I live in Canada since can’t kill me yet. She’ll have to wait until camp. If ya’ll want to know more stories about Sister Rebekah all you have to-do is ask. After all she use to baby site me and I can tell ya’ll some stories.

Nothing Else To-do

2006-05-18T21:21:00.000-07:00

Yelp, I have nothing else to-do right now to pass the time. So I figured I would write everyone that checks out my blog. Let’s see, what can I talk about? There has to be something I can talk about. OK, I have got it. Are ya’ll ready?

If ya’ll have read my mother’s blog then you already know that we have black mold growing in our shower room. I call it a shower room because that is all that is in there beside a sink. Anyways today my Dad and Brother RJ took it apart so now we don’t even have a shower in the room just a sink. So now I am going to call it the sink room. I know that was lame but like I said I have nothing else to-do.

Let’s see what else can I talk about? Tomorrow night the youth group is going to play paintball. Which should be a lot of fun and since I am not at my home right now, I can say that Saturday is my mothers Birthday day. Yelp she is going to be an amazing 43. So, she might hit me when I get home but that’s ok. OK, I will leave ya’ll in peace now.

Always Have Time To Eat

2006-05-17T16:40:00.000-07:00

This is me eating at close to the top of the mountain.

I was going to post more but got to looking at mom's blog.

She posted most of the pictures I was going to post.

So, if you have not seen them yet check out her blog.

Crazy, Grades, Sunburn, Headache

2006-05-15T12:42:00.000-07:00

It has been about two weeks now since I have last posted. Therefore I decided that today is a good day to write and tell everyone what I have been up too.

The last time I wrote a post I was tell ya’ll how I had finals. There is good news. I am done. No more school for at least the Summer. I have even better news than that I have already got my grades back and they are the best I have done since I have started college. Now I bet ya’ll are just dieing to know how I did! In Issues in Aesthetics and Criticism aka Art Class I made an A. That is really good since I had a D for awhile in that class. In General Biology I made a B. Now for the easy class, I made an A in my Computers in Society class.

Now I will tell you about the crazy thing I plan on doing this fall. Once again I will be going to college but this time I will not be going to just one college but I will be taking classes at two colleges. I will be taking classes Part-time online again with SOSU. That’s a college back in Oklahoma and I will be taking classes here in Canada. The classes I am taking back online are for my degree while the classes I take we are more for a trade. OK, I will tell ya’ll what the trade is. I am going to become a carpenter that is right me building homes one day. I should enjoy it since I like working with my hands and being outside.

Now, I bet you want to know about the sunburn. Set back now I will tell you a story. A true story that is. Saturday, I went horseback riding for the second or third time in my life. Now me being the crazy person I am said I would ride all the way up the top of a mountain. So, we set out on out 2 hour one way trip up the mountain at first it is not to bad nice and easy. Then we start getting up a little more and we start to run into more and more trees. Which seem to be growing closer together the higher we got. Anyways, I made it to the top but everyone knows what goes up must come down. Going up was easy. Going down was a little harder especially when the horse loses it footing but I did good I did not fall off. Although I did manage to run my leg into a tree that had fallen and was sticking out onto the trail some. So, I now I have you wondering what that has to do with a sunburn. I did not wear a hat and most people that know me. Know I always have short hair. So, I got a good sunburn on my face and head from being out in the sun for about 5 hours. That also explains the headache part of the title. I have a few pictures from the ride. I might share with ya’ll one day. It depends how much ya’ll ask for them.

Finals

2006-05-03T15:28:00.000-07:00

It is that time of year, yes it comes around twice a year just before you get some time off from of college work. OK, it always seems like teachers put everything off until the last week of school or it could just be the fact that everything is due at the same time. Instead of being spread out like it is the rest of the school year.

OK, I know some want to know about the Youth Convention. OK, Friday I drove to Airport to pick up the Mullins. Then over the weekend we had about 40 different people come out. We had a really good time worshiping God in the afternoon session. Over all, I have to say it was good for my first time being in charge of it and for everyone up here not knowing what to expect.

Now, I have a question for everyone to answer. Back when the Victory Leaders Band started the age was from 12-30 and unmarried, or married with out children. Then they change the age to include everyone from the age of 12-35. Now, my question is why did they change it? If anyone has answer to this question please let me know.

Also, I did not check this for mistakes yet. So, if I have a lot of mistakes I am sorry.

New Reading Material (Correction)

2006-04-24T14:00:00.000-07:00

Alright, I will be the first to admit that Mom is right I do need to proof read what I write. I have been letting my grammar slide and I really do not have a good reason for it. It is just plain laziness, Therefore from this day on I shall proof read everything I write. OK, I might not proof read everything but I will start looking for my grammatical mistakes more often than I am doing now. I have had two years of college English and it is time I start writing like I have had two years of college English. Now, we shall go on to the corrected part of this post.

OK I have decided to go ahead and give everyone a new post to read or in this case to read again. Many of you know that last week my parents went to Montana for a few days. Which left Darren and I here all alone, however we did survive by ourselves, even with out moms cooking. Therefore I had to pull out another side of me that many people do not get to see. I cooked three meals while they were gone and we had company for one of them. The one night I did not cook we went over to a friend’s home for supper and it was very good I might add. I can’t remember the name of what we had but it tasted really good, after the main meal we had dessert which was made up of a brownie, ice cream, a chocolate sauce and cool whip.

After supper, Darren and I drove out to Armstrong. Earlier in the week I had told Sarah that I would come help her pickup horse manure. Why I said I would help I still don’t know but it was not that bad. Darren even helped out which is a big surprise if you know Darren. Since he never likes to work even if he is getting paid for it, and he really does not like to work when he is not getting paid for it. Which brings us to the next subject; Saturday Dustin, Ryan, Darren, Heath and I had a few things that we need to-do for youth convention. Knowing Darren and Ryan would not get anything done if Dustin and I went to put the flyers up. We sent them out with Heath to put the flyers up, while Dustin and I stayed at the Church cleaning the walls, bathrooms, and painting some areas that needed some touch up painting done. This now brings me to the end of my post. The grammar should be better on this one and I am going to work on it being better on my future post.

No Nap Sunday

2006-04-16T14:37:00.000-07:00

That is right folks this is not Nap Sunday. Today, I am not going to take a nap instead I will tell ya’ll how my week was. OK, don’t everybody clap at once. So, who want to know about my week? Any out there, Wait I see one, oh nope that is just my eyes playing tricks on me. OK, now I will get on about my week.

Let’s see if I can remember what I did? That’s no good I am losing my mind. Wait I have already lost it. OK, for the first part of the week I worked on school. I just have my finals left in my Computer class. So, I might do that this week, then again maybe not. I need to-do some reading for my art class since we have a discussion on some thing in it this week. I can’t tell you what it’s about I just remember we are discussing something. Then the same old thing in Biology read the chapter and take the quiz and study for the test I have this coming weekend.

OK, yeah remember I was telling you about the bottle drive we had that last Saturday not yesterday I did not do anything yesterday this was the Saturday before yesterday just want to make sure ya’ll have the right Saturday. Anyways the bottle drive went well. Let’s see Wednesday night after church Darren and I went to DQ in Armstrong. We meet Sarah, Mayling, and Jessica we got our food then walk around the small town. Smaller than my Dad’s home town of Spiro. Then Friday we went out to Armstrong for a cookout/bonfire that was fun too. That about wraps up my week, I’ll talk to ya’ll later.

Confessions

2006-04-07T01:43:00.000-07:00

First I just want to say I am sorry for the bad spelling. It is 0146 right now and considering every thing I have to-do before tonight weekly VLB devotion and fellowship I should be in bed. Anyways the real reason I am still up is I just finished typing up the devotion for the VLBs 12-18 for tonight and I also finished my sermon for Sunday night. I am thankful that my Dad and Brother RJ are doing the devotion for the older VLBs. I know some might be wondering why we have them split up and I have a reason behind my madness I just might tell ya’ll someday but it would make for a really long post and I would not be able to tell ya’ll anything else.

Second I want to say Dad if you read this and you notice you have two Pepsi’s missing. I might know were they gone. I do have to say that I have a better life span taking you Pepsi than taking mom’s Coke. I mean after the other night and her getting upset of you not taping AI and all I figured I better leave the Coke. She just might need it this week. OK, I know I am going to get it for saying that online. So, pray for me everyone. My mother is going to kill me. OK, maybe not if she was going to do that it would have been that night Dad did not tape AI another story I might tell ya’ll someday. Then again maybe not if I want to see my next birthday.

OK, Yes I talk about school a lot. I have a question. Why do student always but off papers they have to write until about 24 hours before they are due? Yes, I do that but not as much as I used to. I have had to write this essay for my Art class and I have know about it for two weeks not and I just started it the other day and am only about ½ done with it. OK, I need to re-write it but I know what I want to say. I just have to put it on to paper.

Now I will tell everyone what my plan on doing this weekend, starting today. First I wan to wake up. That would be helpful, and then I most likely up in the shower (to help me wake up) then some time I need to run to the store and get drinks and food for tonight. I also have to go to Staples and make some copies of a flyer/tract to hand out during our bottle drive fundraise on Saturday that to help raise funds for youth convention. Then after that we are going to have cookout. A good way for me to say thanks to everyone that helps in the bottle drive. So, yes mom the funds for the food is taken care of that is the least I can do for everyone that gives helps out in the bottle drive. Let’s see what else, I have to do laundry, yeah need some clean cloths, this might be stating to smell since I have had them on all week. Not really, but I only have one pair of clean cloths left so that means it with to do laundry. Then oh yeah, I have to get that essay done before Monday night. Since it is do Tuesday at 0800 central time. Ok, I better get going, I did not know it but this is long. OK, I am going to count the words, OK, I cheat, I type it in word then copy it over.

624 Words Hope You Enjoyed Them

Where Does All The Time Go?

OK, it is Time for my weekly post. OK, I try to post once a week but that does not always happen. This last week I did not feel like doing any thing good thing I only had one assignment due today. Now, I have to get my self into gear and get this week's assignments done. I only have to worry about two classes right now since during spring break I got ahead in my computer class. All I have to-do for my art class is finish reading the two chapters that are assigned then write a about a painting from 4 different view points. Then Biology should not be that bad. Just have to read one chapter then take the quiz on that chapter and I might have a lab. If I work on it all I could have it all done by Wednesday and that would be good news since I am preaching Sunday night and have a lot going on this weekend. OK, that is my life nothing new. Just the same old things I have been doing for the last few months.

Cold Water

2006-03-27T18:20:00.000-08:00

Hello Everyone,

How's it going out there. Not too much as been going on in here. Friday we went snowboarding for the last night of the season. I land 3 jumps out of about 6-7 I took not to bad. The season is not over for about another 2 weeks but if I go again I have to pay full price. So, I think I just might be done for the year. Today Darren and I went hiking around BX Falls. There is still now on the ground and ice but Darren and I being our wise selves when off the trail and kept crossing over the stream on logs, or rocks. We got to this one point Darren grab hold of a branch and acted like he was Tarzan, but me on the other hand. Jump from the long to shore. While that was a bad choice my left leg went into the stream and man that water was cold. Now, we are back home waiting for super. Talk to everyone later. Oh, yeah I got all of that school work done. Now I am a few weeks a head in one class. Nice eh.

Busy & No Break

2006-03-19T00:43:00.000-08:00

That is right ya'll, Monday is the first day of being back into my everyday normal life. Not that I ever have a normal day but for me it will be back to the same old thing. Ok maybe not. I am going to make a few changes or I should say try to make a few changes to my everyday life. Since I have not been working I have a bad habit of staying up late and saying in bed late. So, this next week I am going to try and break that habit. That means in bed my midnight and up by 0700. Then just maybe I will get more done during the day.

The busy with out a break is going to come from school. In my computer class my teacher has already posted the rest of our test and I only have about 4-6 more assignment in that classes and the final and I will be done with it. I can have that class done by the end of the week if it was not for my other two classes. So, my goal is to have it done in two weeks. Then the final the week after that since it is a three part test. Art and Bio are also going to keep my busy I always have a quiz and lab in Bio. Each week but this coming weekend I have a test. Then in Art I have to writing assignments. That should just about cover everything I have to-do and just maybe I will have some free time Friday afternoon and Darren and I can go snowboarding again for two hours be for you weekly youth devotion. I am out un-till next weekend. Have a good week ya'll.

Spring Break

2006-03-11T17:28:00.000-08:00

That is right it is the time of year when all college students get a week off and do not have to worry about doing an college related work. I am one student that is glad spring break is finally here for that reason alone. Even thought I don't have to worry about any of it I am going to go ahead and do a few of my assignments that way I don't have to worry about doing them later. Yesterday was Friday and like every Friday we had our Youth get together, which I think went well. Although before that Darren and I went up to Silver Star and went snowboarding for 2 hours since we had to be back in time for the get together. We made about 7 runs, which is not bad for 2 hours. It only cost $5 and it was fun wish we could have stayed longer, we keep trying to take some jumps I almost land one jump but I am still working on the balance thing when landing. Anyways, yesterday was the 3rd time in 3 weeks that Darren and I have been snowboarding. I want to go every Friday even if I can only go for two hours since it only cost $5 every Friday night un-till the end March. It is like that every January thought March. Ok, enough about snowboarding.

Ok, what is every body going to be doing during there spring break? Like I said earlier I am going to work a little bit on my assignments but for the most part I am going to set back and relax. Ok, that is all I have for ya'll this time.

Mountain Time

2006-03-05T00:04:00.000-08:00

Just as I said I would here are the pictures of my birthday present from my patents. Ok, ya'll are not getting to see it brand new this is only because we went snowboarding last-night with some friends. In could tell you the names of 9 people that snowboarded last-night. It was a blast I am getting good on my heal edge but the next time I go up I am going to work on getting better on my toe edge. So, I will be going down the runs on my toe edge only that going to be a lot of fun for two hours. The only reason I say that is I fall a lot more on my toe edge but that is the only way to learn is to stay on it. Anyways, I am out for now. Enjoy the snow if you have it if not sorry.

Back From Hibernation

2006-02-28T00:57:00.000-08:00

Much like a bear sleeps during the winter only getting up to answer the call of the wild and to eats a strange looking person who happens to wonder in to his bed. I am back as spring is coming upon us and the weather is getting warmer. Which is not good news for my birthday present. Only a few times left in the season that I will be able to use my snowboard. Yes, that is right my SNOWBOARD!!! This is the most excitement I have had in a long time over a Christmas or birthday gift. I can't stop talking about it and I have to show everyone. So, yes I will show every one in the blog world just not right now have to take some pictures of it.

While let's see besides turning 22 and getting my snowboard. See I told ya I can't stop talking about it. I have been keeping busy with college I did really bad on a test a few weeks ago and now I have been trying harder at passing my classes I don't just want to pass but I actually want to do good in them.

You will not believe some one as found out what I am really like. Ok, not like I was hiding it or anything. She just told me I am guarded and put up a wall when I am around people. Although she does the same thing. You see we just don't want to get hurt so we don't let our selves get close to people and we don't tell them what is really going on with us. So, now me and her are trying to find a way not to be so guarded but at the same time not put are selves in that position to be hurt by someone else. Well, I don't have a clue if anyone has a clue what I just said but if you do let me know what ya think and if you have any advice.

Time for me to go back into Hibernation. I will come out of hibernation to snowboard on Friday but that might be the only time.

Tons of Assignments

2006-02-08T00:31:00.000-08:00

When I get done with this post I will be off to bed and when I wake up the rest of my busy week will begin. It feels like I have more assignments now but that is only because most of my books came in the mail on Monday. So, now I get to catch up in my computer class only about 4 weeks behind. I also have two test I have to take over the weekend and an essay due I think Friday. I am not done yet with the assignments I have to read a chapter in one of my art textbooks and write an outline to the chapter. I also have to read a chapter in my Bio. Textbook, take a quiz over the chapter and due a lab. I think that is all I have to do. I hope. Tomorrow I also need to clean the church which will take about 90 min. I just remembered I have VLB service next week too. I don't know how I will get it all done but then again I kind of like being under this much pressure. I seam to work better. Well, I better sign off and get to bed.

23 Days and Counting

2006-01-31T23:56:00.000-08:00

This is New and edited for grammar. I hope it's better then the last one.

That's right Lady's and Gentlemen. There are only 23 days until. Come on can you guess it. I know you can get it. Ok, I can't take it any more. It's my birthday. That is right on the 24th I will be 22. I can not wait for my 24th birthday. The reason is that I was born on the 24th and I only have my age and date of birth match once in a life time. So, that should be a good year.

To get all caught up on what's going on. I know I already said that I am back in school. There have been times I have asked why would I want to do any more school work. After all I have already been in school for 14 years of my life. I am also glad that I was home schooled now. It is helping me keep focus since all of my classes are online. I am also enjoying the reading. Which is strange for me to say since I really do not like to read. This last Friday I tried my hand at snowboarding. I will just say I hit the ground as much as any one else that is just learning how to snowboard. By the end of the night I was starting to take a few small jumps. Although I never did land any of them.

Back to School Kinda

2006-01-17T17:14:00.000-08:00

Today was my first day of classes but I did not have to leave the house. I am taking classes online this year. I am only taking 10 credit hours but as long as I pass that will put me above 40 credits. I am taking Computers in Society (only because I have to take a computer class). It is going to remind me how to work with MS Excel, Word, and Power Point. I might learn something new or remember something I forgot. I am also taking General Biology with Lab. It's all online. The last class that I am taking is Art: Issues in Aesthetics and Critcism. I don't know how much I am going to like that but it get me one more step closer to my goal. The only thing I think I will not like about taking classes online is it means you have to read every thing. On like when I went to class I was able to just listen most of the time and did not have to read that much. Not, I must read, and I don't like reading but if I want to pass I will do the reading and since it cost money to take classes I want to pass. I will post a new picture soon, so ya'll can see what I look like now.

Broncos WIN!!!!

2006-01-15T01:35:00.000-08:00

Yes, I watched football yesterday and enjoyed it. The Broncos won and that make me excited. Just one more win and we would be on our way to the biggest game in Football. I had been hearing all week on TV on how the Broncos would not be able to win since New England had players back that did not play in the first match up. I know Dad is glad that the game is over. He know longer has to listen to me tell him how no one is giving Denver any credit. Now we will get some. To took the two time champs out and are on our way. Can't wait to find out who we will play next. It's going to be a good game and I know my heart rate will be up a little bit just like it was watching today game. Some of ya'll can imagine me cheering has Champ Bailey picked off the pass and ran it back to the one. I have not been this into a game since Colorado last one the Stanley Cup. Football and Hockey the best two sports out there. Well, I will sign off for now. With one last GO BRONCOS!

I Can't Sleep

2006-01-12T01:54:00.000-08:00

I do not even know how to start this post. It has been almost two weeks since I have posted and not to much as been going on. Let's see church has been going well. We have been seeing a few more at our youth get meetings. I even talk to someone about coming for our youth convention the last weekend in April, he said he would put it into God's hands and that's were I am going to leave it. I know if it is God's well for this person to come up here then God will work it out. Life in general well, it is kind of feeling like a sad country song. Well, I would write more but I think I am meeting RJ (aka my Band leaders tomorrow.) Talk to ya'll later. Enjoy the new music. The song is kind of how I feel right now.

A New Year

2006-01-01T20:28:00.000-08:00

Hi Ya'll,

This is my first post of the new year. Another year is past and another year as come. This is the 5th new years out of the last 7 that I have spent outside of the united states. I am also glad that it got to start on a Sunday. What a better way to start off a new year then to be in church. Last year is past and I can't look back at what I could have done. This year I must do what I can to make the most out of my time for the lord. This year is going to be full and exciting. I can't wait to see what God has in store for me. Who knows where I will be next new years it might be my 6th new years outside of the united state or I might be in the united states only time well tell.

Ya'll enjoy the new years and remember if we don't sell-out to God. Then we have wasted another year of our lives.

The Night Before Christmas!!!

2005-12-24T21:50:00.000-08:00

Just a few more hours and it will be Christmas. OK, for some people it is already Christmas but they are in a different time zone. I was not able to get gifts for everyone I would have liked to this year but that happens when you don't have a job and are starting to run low on the money end of things. The people I have gotten gifts for I still need to wrap before the morning. This last week went well, we had a Christmas program the other night and it went well. Then last night we had our VLB Christmas party and it went well. Then today we went Ice skating and play some pool. Had some lunch and ice cream. I hope everyone enjoys there Christmas.

What A Week It's Going To Be

2005-12-20T02:02:00.000-08:00

Yeah, I know it has been a few weeks since I have posted. Anyhow, the rest of the week is going to get busy for me. Today, we run through the Christmas program for tomorrow night. Wait I just remember, I do not think there is any thing that I have to do on Thursday. Well, that's not completely true, I have to get ready for the VLB Christmas party. Ya'll can come too. Just bring me so food. OK. I have to get the Christmas story ready also, but I think I am going to do some research on it from the Old testament. That way we can see how they said it was going to happen and compare it to how it happened. One more thing be for I go. I also need to start my Christmas shopping. This is the worst year for me. I have never put it off this late. Well, there was this one time I remember buying mom's present on Christmas eve but we were living on Guam. So, that was a long time ago. Well, now that ya'll are board I will go.

Up Early

2005-12-08T01:35:00.000-08:00

Yes, believe it or not I was up early on Wednesday. It might not be early to ya'll but it was for me. You see I got out of bed at 0800 hours. I normally get up around 1100 hours since I am not working and do not normally get into bed un-till about 0200. Anyhow, back to what I did yesterday since it is now 0143 on Thursday.

The reason I woke up is when I went to bed the night before I keep think about a friend in Oklahoma also known as Lisa. Anyways I could not figure out why I keep thinking about her. So when I woke up this morning the very first things that came to my mind was call Lisa. I did not know what time it was and I really did not want to call her. So, I said Lord if you want me to call her let me wake up at 0800. So I was laying in bed. (don't know if I went back to sleep) I look at the alarm clock and it said 0753. So I got up and read my bible and prayed some. Then I was getting a little bit uneasy. So, I took a shower and while in the shower I said I would call her. I got out of the shower and around 0900 I called her. I talk to her for about 5 minutes. She sounded tired and she was. That happens when you work two jobs. Anyways that's besides the point. You see I know at some point I am going to have to tell her about what the Bible says and how if we want to see Christ that we can't just talk to him every night and that will do. I know I am going to have to tell her that he requires that we live a life with out sin and that we have to follow Christ commandments and I was going bring it up some today but when I went to bring it up I went blank. Which just means it was not the time for me to bring it up. It might have been because she was tired or something else. So, ya'll pray for me. When it's time to bring it up I want to follow the leading of the Holy Ghost.

I bet ya'll think I am going to write a book this morning. Last night we had VLB service, which means I was in charge. We started off by reading Psalm 107:1-2. Then we opened in a pray of thanksgiving. If you read Psalm 107:1-2, you will see why we had a reason to open up in a spirit of thanksgiving. After all Christ delivered us out of the hand of enemy. After that Darren lead songs, Holy is the Lord (Chris Tomlin), When The Church of God Arises, and I can't remember the other one right now. It was between the other two I already said. After we lead songs he had a song that he wanted to play off of a CD. The song is call She's The One (Bro. Alex Jackson). While playing the song I could feel the Holy Ghost moving and felt him say preach what I have given you know. So, I did not take the offering un-till after I preached and had an alter call. It is such a blessing to preach when it's not you doing the talking. If it was not for God and the Holy Ghost, I would not be preaching. It seems like the Lord is getting me to the point were I am sick and tired of others preaching 1/2 truths. It's time we start preaching the whole word of God and it does not matter who is setting around. If the Word of God says it's WRONG then it is WRONG. I don't know about anyone else but if someone come around me and they are not saved I want them to be un comfortable, I want that much of God in my life. People should get un easy around true children of God because they will see a difference in how we talk and dress. With God's help you we not every hear me say another by-word, if I am going to us the by-word then I should just say the word that I am replacing it with. It's time we start watching how we talk that way other can see the difference in us. The biggest difference a person can see in was starts with how we talk and dress. Well, I did not mean to start preaching on dress and speech but if the Lord tells me to say it I am going to. Now it between you and God. I can't make anyone talk or dress different but we are to be HOLY before the LORD.

Must Be Crazy

2005-11-26T23:54:00.000-08:00

Yeah, just like the title says I must be crazy. I did the one thing I never should have done tonight. What's that you might ask. I just finished adding out how much it is going to cost me to finish going to school for me to get my Bachelor of Science in Aeronautical Management Technology (AMT)- Professional Flight concentration. Anyways, It cost enough that I think I should think about becoming a law student instead. OK, not really. I am sticking to the AMT thing even though it cost a lot. It will all be worth it one day. Anyways, help me pray that I will be able to get funding to help me pay for it. It would be really nice if it all did not have to come out of my pocket. Plus I know if I trust in God everything will work out in the end. Well, I am going to go. Miles Davis just came on my yahoo radio. Time to relax.

Almost Done

2005-11-17T01:58:00.000-08:00

Hey ya'll,

Just want to let you know I should have the West Canada VLB Website up and running by this week end. If ya'll have any words of encouragement you don't mind me putting on there let me know.

Another Lonely Night

2005-11-14T00:37:00.000-08:00

What's up ya'll? I am just setting here thinking it has been awhile since I last posted. I do have a surprise for ya'll. Are you ready for it. Ok here it comes. You did not miss any thing. Yeah, that's right nothing going on here. OK, that is not completely true. Today I am glad to be getting over the allergies that have bugging me for the last week. We also had one new person come to our youth night Friday. She came because she had a friend that came for the first time the Friday before and he told here about it this last week. So that make two new young people in two weeks. Sorry about any grammar. It is 0043 hours or 1243am for those of you who don't read military time. I don't think I have to much going on this week. I just need to finish creating the VLB web site for W. Canada this week. The only other thing that I have to get done is VLB Service which is a week from wed. I also need to start working out again since I have not been doing it since I have been back up here. Talk to ya'll later.

Jeremy

No Job, No Money, No Problem.

2005-10-26T15:19:00.000-07:00

Well, I have back from my trip to Oklahoma for 2 days now and not much has changed since I left. I had fun for the most part there are a few things I wish I could go back and do again but we will not talk about that. Anyways while I was down there I rented a car and that cost me an arm and a leg. You should see me now walk around with only one arm and leg. I got a call today from another job so hopefully I will not be out of a job to much longer. I don't want to put anyone to sleep. So, I will talk to ya'll later.

By the way. I will post some more pictures one of these days.

Every Light In the House is On.

2005-10-12T00:48:00.000-07:00

OK, not every light in the house is on. Just one. That song is on my radio station right now on yahoo. Yeah, it's country Trace Adkins. Anyhow, it has been a bit since I have posted but I will now let ya'll know what I have been up to the last few days. Last Friday we had are first youth gathering. We had 13 people. We should have more this Friday. Some of them had to work last week but then again we might have less. Since three of the ones that came last week have to sale a house this week. So, we don't know if they will make it yet. I'll post a picture of every one when I find the disk. Let's see today or yesterday. Since it is not 0052 we went hiking around rattlesnake hill. Even though it is not much of a hill more like a mountain. That took us about 2 hours but it was fun. Today, I have to get up early. Darren and I are going to pick up a bed for some friends and then at 1000 we are picking apples for one of the members here. Then church tomorrow night. Then I have to start getting ready to go back to Oklahoma for a week. Have to go see Derek Hays get married. Then I will be back up here trying to get a job. I have two different ones that I have a chance at getting but it is going to take me some time to get a work permit. So, pray I get that quickly. The say it takes about 10 weeks but I can't go that much longer with out working. I would go nuts. Anyways this is long enough for now.

Apples and More Apples

2005-09-19T22:40:00.000-07:00

It's about time for me to update ya'll on what is going on in Vernon. Today Darren and I pick apples for one of the members here. We did that for a few hours. We also pick some plums. That is all the real work I did today. I just finished working out a few min. Ago. Since there is really not a lot to do. Darren and I figure we should get into better shape before we have to really start working again. All pray that I find the job God wants me to have. I just don't want to do anything. I want to do what he has for me. Also, I am know longer just a co-VLB leader. Thanks to Grace's grandfather I am now the VLB coordinator for West Canada. Right now it is just two church and all the your is in Vernon. So, that gives us a task to work on. Also, we are working on a few things here in our local area. Right now we are trying to design our own t-shirt for the years them and we have a web page for the Vernon church which I am about to change to the W. Canada vlb web site. Well, this is getting long and I need to get up early. Talk to ya'll later.

I'm Back. Did ya miss me?

2005-09-15T09:40:00.000-07:00

What's up ya'll? I know it has been awhile since I have been on this thing. Anyways, I am know living in Vernon BC. The church here is amazing. One of the best looking church's I have every been in. I can only thing of two church's I have been in that are better looking and they are in MT. and CO. No, job yet has of right now I have to be out of Canada buy my birthday. So, I better get into school and find a job so I can stay here. So, pray I find the right job. Well, I have some emails I need to respond too. Talk to ya'll later.

Anyways It did not hit me that we are leaving Oklahoma until today. It just hit all at once. Oh, well, time to get over the fact I am leaving and get back to work. Ok, I can't really do anything until Dad and Darren go get the truck but that is ok. I will set back and rest.

Jobless

Alright, I just walk out of Lowe's for the last time. Kinda of last night was my last night to work and it was not to bad. We had all kinds of food. Things like Pizza, Chicken, Chips and Cheese, Cake and Bread. Although I did not eat that much. When I only eat one meal before I got to work then I don't eat that much while I am at work. I even got off 90 min. early. Over all it was a good last day of work. Now life gets really busy. Today I am going to see my Grandparents on my mom's said. Then we will be back to have dinner with our pastor here on Saturday. Then on Sunday we have Church and are having dinner after church. Monday, We are going back down to Spiro, To see my dad's family. Tuesday, Wed., Thursday, I can't think of anything right now but I know I have something to do each of those days. Friday, we get the moving truck and load it up and Saturday we hit the road. So, All of ya'll that are on the road Sunday night or Monday and need some one to talk to give me a call. It just might help me stay awake. I think I get some of the best sleep driving down the road. Well, That is all I can think about right now. So, I am going to go do something. Don't know what yet but I know I will think of something to do. Sleep is a good Idea since I have been up all night working but I don't feel tired. So, who knows. I also need to take a shower but I have to wait for my clothes in the dryer. So, that's it I will play GT4 on the PS2. Oh, yeah my cell number if any want to call while I am driving is 405-788-5155.

One More Little Man

2005-08-14T19:34:00.000-07:00

OK, Now the little people

2005-08-14T19:33:00.000-07:00

I love the little people. I don't know the two guys holding hands.

Ah, Just went blank. HELP ME

2005-08-14T19:19:00.000-07:00

OK, Maybe I did not forget what I am going to write but I could not think of a Title. OK, this weekend Dad and I went to to his parents house or my grandparents house. So, yeah I went to grandma's how cool is that 21 and still going to grandma's house. Just need the suitcase now. Anyways will I was done their I spent about 50 min in her pool. It was kinda weird being the only one in the pool. Everyone else was inside cooking, online, or watching TV. I don't know what they were doing. Just wish I had Tommy with me so I could of had some fun. I love that kid. He's crazier than me. Well, me got home tonight in time for church which was good. Then, normal I would have to work but I got to work and we did not have a truck and nothing else to do so they sent me home. Which is kinda of a bad thing since I need the money and getting ready to move and the assembly which is coming up soon. I will be their still don't know how I am paying for it but I know the Lord will work it out. Even if I have to sell all of my stuff but it is just stuff and can be replaced. So, see ya'll their. I am going to go for now and find more things to sell.

Long Time

2005-08-09T07:36:00.000-07:00

Wow it as been a long time since I have posted but I am back now. Let's see what have I been up too? I just got back from Family Camp in New Mexico. I loved it I already miss everyone that was their plus the ones that I know in the Region that were not their. We had a good camp. I can tell you a good friend of mine did get the Holy Ghost while we were their. I am so happy for here. That is about all I have from that. The only other things I have been doing is working on a website and work. I am going to get back to what every I was doing now.

Now Is The Time

2005-07-13T03:21:00.000-07:00

Hi Ya'll,

This morning while I was on lunch and break at work I was reading The Last Great Conflict. Which is a very good book and if you have not read it you should. I will have finished reading it by Monday and for those you do not know me that well. I do not like to read and this will be the first whole book I have read since well I can't remember the last time I read a whole book. Anyhow back to what I was going to say.

Now is the time, the time to go out and spread the gospel of Christ into all the world. After reading Grace's Sunday school notes I got to thinking about some of the different VLBs Service I have had in our local church and her notes covered most of what I have been trying to get across to our local VLBs. Then I remember the goal that Brother Dustin Hays gave our VLBs for our Region this last year and that was for all of our youth groups to double in size. During our Regional Convention Brother Derek Hays had reminded us what his Brother's goal was for the region but said we might not have doubled in size up that was because Dustin had to get everyone that is already in the VLBs straightened out first. That is such a true statement, how can we has young people expect to win others to Christ if we are not completely sell ourselves out to God. Now, is the time to give every thing to God no matter what the cost. If it means you have to give up certain kinds of music, movies, TV programs, clothing, or even the use words that take the place of profane words. It sounds like a lot but what Joy it is to be a servant for my master and king. He did not have to die on the cross for you and I but he did. He gave his life for me and now I give my life for his work and his purpose no matter what the cost. Now is the time to become completley sold out for God. Brother A.J. Tomlinson said it best, "The work must be done. We must get into our hearts. It is not a time now to shift the responsibility on to another future generation. We must do it now in our own generation. We can do it if we will. When all of God's people really get the fullness of what the one hundred and twenty the three thousand and the five thousand and the multitudes both of men and women had, they will go everywhere and preach this gospel of the kingdom as a wintness." Oh, I love this next part my eyes are starting to water up while I write this and I hope it touches you the same why it has touched me. "The great wave of Pentecostal power and glory is coming. There is a lull and a calm just now; we are going up grade, but listen: "There is a sound of abundance of rain." The little cloud has been seen. Gird up thy loins and run before the chariots and carry the good news." Now is the time be be sold out and go reach all the world. Let's us now take charge and not put off the task our Lord and savior as given us. "But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth thre praises of him who hath called you our of darkness into his marvellous light:" (1 Peter 2:9)

When Will It Stop?

2005-07-09T05:20:00.000-07:00

It has been a long time since I have posted. So here is an update on what I have been up too. Let's see this looks like a good place to start. For those that do not know my family is moving again. We are off to Vernon, BC. Yeah, that's not in the United States but then again ya'll know that. Anyhow, that is part of the reason I have not posted beside all the work I have been doing and just not getting around to it. Last weekend we went to an Air Show and I got a sunburn. They told me to wear sunscreen but did I listen NO so my head as been driving me crazy all week. If you are trying to figure out why my head was driving me crazy ask Sara and she could tell you how short my hair was. Let's see during the week nothing went on beside work and work and oh yeah the best one of all sleep. Got my VLB service ready and tonight after I get off of you got it work I am heading up to Broken Arrow. Dad is preaching tonight and tomorrow. I will only get to be their for the morning service since I have to be back here for our VLB service Sunday night since it is my service. So that should about do it I think I have gotten ya'll to speed on what's been going on. OK time for a good rule. "Always wear sunscreen when you don't have any hair."

OK, Me right, stuffed dog middle, and my little cousin Ethan left.

Great Weekend.

2005-06-27T17:54:00.000-07:00

I do not even know were to begin when it comes to telling you how Convention went. The Holy ghost came down every session. Friday night was just a warm up for what we would happen on Saturday and Sunday. Saturday night we had 5 filled with the Holy Ghost and one came really close. The youth of the region spent over 2 hours seeking God and it was such a wonderful sight and now most of the youth in our region have the Holy Ghost and we are praying that those you have not yet received this wonderful gift will soon receive it. I really can't put it into words but it is by far the best convention I have ever been in.

Nothing to do in small towns.

2005-06-22T07:37:00.000-07:00

Last night My brother and I took Sara and Elizabeth Michaels around town just to get out of the house were gone for a few hours. We first went my brothers job and my 2nd job which is on main street. That was a blast then we drove out to the airport were we seen a Military pilot which we think we have seen before in Okinawa. In between going to the different place we waved at everyone we passed. Then made it to the mall but it was closed we just drove around waving at the people going to the movies. Then Darren's gas light came on. So, what do we do we drive around looking for cheap gas. We found it 20 min later.
Then we drove back to Wal-mart which is about the only thing open around 10pm. Darren and I were playing with the footballs over in sporting goods and Darren was working out some with their weights. Then we went to one of the four sonic's in town got some shakes and come home around 11pm and listened to music. Not to much to do in a small town. Maybe that is why I work and sleep all the time.

Camp Last Year.

2005-06-19T22:54:00.000-07:00

OK for those of you who do not know my brother he is nuts. You would think he is the crazy one. Grace and Sara should remember this. Their was a video camera in the room while we were in class and my brother kept winking at it. Well, then the next thing you know he was blowing kiss at the camera. What can I say if you don't know him then this is most likly not that funny but I do have the tape if anyone wants to see it. I just wonder what he will do this year at camp in New Mexico. OK it 6am time for bed. Good night ya'll or morning.

What going on?

2005-06-18T05:26:00.000-07:00

What's Up Ya'll,

OK, I really don't know why I am posting right now but I have nothing better to do before work so. Lets see. Oh, you should have went to the mall with Darren and I last night it was crazy. I was shopping for jeans which I was not able to find any. So, we walked by this store call Rainbow which has nothing but cloths for women in it. Anyways, Darren and been acting stupid all night so he tells me I could go in their and see if they had a kilt. I told him he was crazy. Anyhow, He walks into the store "me I was not about to go in their and ask if the had a kilt" he goes up to the two girls working behind the desk "I am standing out side the store" he proceeds to ask them if they know were he could find a kilt. He said the were both trying not to laugh and one of them ask if talking about a Scottish kilt and he said yes. Then they asked how soon he need it. He said I don't need it real soon and then he left. I bet the talk about him for a few minutes after he left. He is a nut.

Anyways check out his blog. You will see the link on mine when I set it up.

Peace Out Ya'll

Sleeping Too Much.

2005-06-16T16:27:00.000-07:00

What's Up Ya'll,

Believe it or not I have been getting too much sleep. Just think what it is like not to get out of bed until 3:00-3:30PM. Ok, Granted I go to bed between 5:30-7:00am but that is still a lot of sleep for me. Anyways today was the last day for that. Tomorrow I have to get up about noon and change my oil and retape the bumper on my car. Plus I need to go shopping for some new cloths. Plus next week it is back to the 2nd Job.

Catch Ya'll later.

Last Day.

2005-05-06T08:31:00.000-07:00

Today is my last full day of classes until the fall. If I go back to college. The truth is I just want to fly airplanes and I don't have to go to college for that. Anyways just beacuse I will not be in classes for the next few mounths does not meaning I will be busy. I will still be working full time at Lowe's from 2100-0530 five days a week. I will also be working with Darren my only brother (for those that do not know me that well). I will be doing that about 20-30 hours a week and then I get to go to Family Camp in NM in Aug. Well my speech classes is calling. (By the way there is nothing wrong with my speaking, besides the fact I live in Oklahoma and I am hard to understand some times.) Ya'll enjoy BTI for thoes that get to go. Wish I could be their to join ya'll
