You have to check out Coldplay’s new single, Violet Hill.
It’s free. Why wouldn’t you get it?
I love them. I always have. I wish I lived near New York or London.
I can’t wait for the new CD to come out in mid June.

There’s a rectangle full of book covers if you’ll scroll down and look right for a second…

I will be putting myself on a reading schedule for this summer as I think it will prohibit an abundance of boredom and it should also teach me something along the way as well. Some of the books over there I’ve read and just like, a few I haven’t read yet. Honestly I don’t even own them but I can already tell you they are on my “to buy” list. If I stay true to my schedule I’ll be updating this list every couple weeks with stuff I’ve read, stuff I liked, and some books added to my list. What books have you read that I should add to my list?

I’m in the room right now thinking about some things that need have to get done before the end of the school year. I figured out my exam schedule and even thought about cracking a book but I couldn’t help but notice that my roommates and I have seen the last of the dorm’s clean days.

Stringer has been good to us. I won’t get sappy or talk about the good times that Zach, Charlie, Jacob, and I have had but I will just say it’s been fun. Cleaning on the other hand and moving all this crap out is not going to be fun.

This is the coolest blog I’ve seen in several days.

Dear God: I pray that you use all my friends and myself wherever we will be this summer. God, help me keep believing Proverbs 19:21. Be with everyone taking exams this week and give vision to the friends of mine that are graduating. I love you, Amen.

I love Jesus.
I love Ragamuffin Soul.


(I couldn’t get the computer to reverse the picture so I tried rewriting everything in reverse. It doesn’t look half bad does it?)

Anyway,

Phillip McCart has blessed me today. Why? Because he loves Jesus. And he has contests. Do you want to bless me?

Look here now.

I just wanted everyone to know Perry is the coolest pastor of them all. I love NewSpring, dude!

If there’s anything I am good at it’s sinning. And one of my best and favorite sins is to judge and make fun of anyone who isn’t pretty much the same as me. With God’s help I have been getting better at refraining but I haven’t gotten much better about telling people I don’t like about Jesus. The other night I had a perfect opportunity.

There were some annoying, brat, girls at a basketball game I was at that really just vexed me in every way. I could tell by people’s facial expressions I wasn’t the only one and comments were just brewing in my head. I had to stop myself though. I did my best to be kind, but I didn’t really talk to them. I thought I needed to be like Jesus to them but would Jesus just sit there around lost people, presumably, and not say anything to them? Is that as nice as I get? Do I seriously think that I am being Jesus to people by not talking to them rather than talking about them? That’s pathetic when you think about it.

This led to me to be reminded that I need to talk to every lost person about Jesus the same. I need to treat them the same, all day, everyday. I find myself being nicer and being more open with my faith with nice lost people and just blowing off mean, annoying lost people. The fact is that if the nice ones don’t accept the Christ I tell them about they’re going to spend eternity in Hell right along side the annoying ones that I didn’t give the chance to accept Christ.

Is there any particular group of people you tend to stay away from? It’s hard to see that group as souls that need Jesus rather than a group you wouldn’t associate with. It’s easy to ask God for witnessing opportunity but it’s even easier to miss all the opportunity sitting in front of you in class, or living across the hall. Who are you ignoring that needs to hear about Jesus? What are you going to do about it?
