Poems Part II
Wow. I have had a lot of feedback from my first post, although none of them were made underneath the comment section. Instead they were sent to my phone through text messages and other forms. Hmmmmmm...
This one directed to a certain someone.
An Ode to Psalm 6
"I am worn out from my groaning;"
My soul it never stops.
"all night long I flood my bed with weeping"
screaming but with no sound.
"and I drench my couch with weeping"
A place that you once graced.
"my eyes grow weak with sorrow"
They are tired from seeing you.
"Away from me, all you who do evil"
I am sick to my stomach from your evil games!
"For the Lord has heard my prayer"
He is my only hope.
"The Lord has heard my cry for mercy"
For I know that in your selfishness you do not.
"The Lord accepts my prayer."
While you do not accept my promise.
"All my enemies will be ashamed and dismayed"
If I ever make it there.
"They willl turn back in sudden discrace."
I told told told you that one day you will regret.

Poems Part One
For the next couple of days I am going to post some poems that I have written. They reflect my deep and unending love for my best friend Alyssa Anderegg, regardless of what she feels for me. I hope that they will do a good job of displaying how I feel. Enjoy.
She is the Sun
She is the sun and I am the moon
Our faces never meeting.
For there is something larger than I
That interrupt our being.
She shines her beauty and brings new life
While I illuminate the night.
But my power comes only from her
And my yearning for her might.
I desire to be near her so
That it causes me to hide.
I disapear night by night
As I am molded by the tide.
But sometimes on a peculiar day
She allows my presence with her.
And people have to stop and stare
At the rarity of us together.
But soon that time will fade
And over again we will start.
For she is the sun and I am the moon
And we are meant to be apart.

Good Song
Half of My Mistakes
Written by Jace Everett
Half of my mistakes I made stone cold sober
Half of my mistakes I've made at closing time
Half the time I never saw it coming, until it was over
Oh, and half of my mistakes I've made with love the line
Half of my mistakes I swear, I should've known better
Half of my mistakes were just amongst friends
You get a little distance on it, the truth is clearer
On, and half of my mistakes I'd probably make 'em again
Chorus:
If I it all to do over
I'm sure I'd win and lost just as much
but spend alot less time on right and wrong
and a lot more time on love
Half of my mistakes I've made 'cause I was moving to quickley
Half of them where made 'cause my heart was moving too slow
Nobody can tell you a damn thing, if you ain't listening
Oh, And half of my mistakes I've made 'cause I could'nt let go
Chorus:
If I it all to do over
I'm sure I'd win and lost just as much
but spend alot less time on right and wrong
and a lot more time on love
Half of my mistakes I'd give anthing to change how it ended
Oh, and half of my mistakes, God, I would'nt change one thing
You can lean too hard on a prayer but I dont recommend it
'Cause half the good things in my life came from half of my mistakes
Yeah, a lot of good things in my life came from half of my mistakes.

Faith and Basketball
Tonight I decided to spend some of my free time shooting hoops. It is has been a while since I played basketball, a sport that at one point my life literally revolved around. Although I am still better than the average joe, it is obvious that my skills are deteriorating with every passing day. Not because I am getting older, rather because of my lack of practice.
I laughed at a particular moment tonight. I squared my shoulders to the basket bent my legs and released the ball that floated through the air with a perfect arch only to hear a loud, "CLANK."
Brick...
I thought it was interesting how a shot could feel so perfect and yet look so bad.
I though back to some of the decisions in my life; One's that happened fifteen months ago, or one month ago and how they felt so right at the time. It was only until after the decisions when I looked back and saw what I did wrong, just like with the jump shot. Without practice, spiritually and athletically, one will never know wether what they are doing is right or wrong. If one is not practicing basketball, they will never know whether their jump shot was a good one. And if one doesn't practice his faith, live it out, daily and have an active, vibrant relationship with the living God, he will constantly be guessing about God's direction for their life.

Interesting Things...
There is a lot to blog about.
My Guys:
I am so thankful for this small group of guys that I have been blessed with in my small group. We used to have a mixed group that had sometimes over 15 people at a time. Now it is only three or four of us at each group but I can tell you that it is surely amazing what I have been learning from these fine young men. Never have I learned so much and been challenged so much in one two hour meeting. I feel that we are really building a solid community and a group that will surely reflect how God's kingdom should be. I have to admit that they are all extremely funny guys too. My cheeks were hurting from all of the laughter. Thanks Gentlemen.
God, please continue to bless this group.
The Rain:
I was very thankful to look out the window and see rain this morning. Finally, a reason to wear winter clothes! These pics are from Tyler Hoehne's blog: www.tylerhoehne.blogspot.com
World Aids Day:
Please tak a minute to recognize this pandemic that has stricken our culture. So many people die and are affected in some way by this disease every day.
