Well today is the 1st day of my journal thingy. I used to have one at www.freeopendiary.com (brotherofjesus is my sn there) but the popups were overwhelming and unbearable. I have my journals from my Ukraine and Turkey missions trips from last summer on that site however.


God has been doing some amazing things in my life. I've learned that if you just let God control your life instead of trying to do it all on your own - amazing things will happen! For instance within a week God has just blessed me beyond my imagination. I'm now a Student Leader for Christian Student Fellowship (www.csf.net). We had our 1st retreat last weekend together in SD. It was awesome just to grow closer as friends as well as to God. We were able to come up with some effective ways to build up CSF and the communities that are part of it.


Also - I'm now the Echelon Leader for Pillar along w/ my friend Chris! We can now start stepping everything up a notch for Pillar in MN. All to glorify God of course! Pillar's message is amazing. Their lyrics are beyond "cool" and I never get bored of listening to their music. Check 'em out sometime! They'll be back in MN for See Spot Rock in March! (www.seespotrock.com).


Speaking of Pillar - their 1st independent cd (Metemorphosis) sold on ebay for 152.50. I was close to getting it too....haha


Well I better get going. But I look forward to updating this journal a lot more as life goes on!

I know it’s been since around Thanksgiving since I last posted on here. I wish I had a better excuse for not formulating a better journal since then, except to say that I’ve been spending more time just enjoying life rather than writing it all back down again! But I do need to get back into the groove so as to entertain myself in the future…reminiscing of wonderful events that took place in my life.  I guess a few of my friends only know of the life I post on Xanga so that’s another reason I need to stay current. G-d has just been so wonderful in my life recently and has blessed me with such a wonderful family and amazing friends! I can only describe the joy I have as…indescribable! It’s a feeling that is so unable to be expressed at times. It’s not even a feeling! Joy is so much more than that! Well – on to my highlights of the past…lots of stuff! If I “forget” anything – “remind me” and I’ll post it ;) Prepare to be amazed (or really disgusted!) at this incredibly long post! (Ps. Tod

Happy Thanksgiving everyone! You know – I feel like most of us in this country really take this holiday for granted, regardless of how much promotion it’s given and regardless of how much knowledge we have of our historical past. What we need to remember is that we came to this country to escape persecution and to worship G-d (aka Jesus Christ) in a way that contradicted the teachings of the king of England. Because of this we left and came to the New World, where we fought the Indians (making both wise and foolish decisions) and eventually came to be the great country that we are now. We are truly blessed…thinking of all the other countries that don’t have the same privileges that we do. Praise G-d for His everlasting love and His hand of protection upon this country still. I fear one day that the hand of His will no longer protect this country us if we continue to turn away from Him and go about our own way…               School has been quite busy. I’ve had so many papers to do, pro

Hey everyone! Yeah I know it's been a while!! I still gotta update - but it's ok. I have most of what i've done on my calander, so it shouldn't be too hard to update. I just missed my 1st class today (well I woulda been 10 min. late so I figured...screw it) so I just thought I would write a little about what's going on right now in my life. So grades are well....so far. As in all my classes and B in Hebrew right now. Not to shabby. This weekend is the retreat for CSF (Christian Student Fellowship) up at Camp Salie. I can't go Fri. night because of a frat thing, but I'm taking a few people up Sat. It should be fun. Um - Bush is still the best! If Kerry wins I'm moving to Canada :) Who's with me?! One of my hardcore Christian friends is very against Bush (because of the war) and doesn't really like Kerry either (because of most of his beliefs) but is either going to vote Nader (throw the vote away) or Kerry (not a good idea). So lets forget the war
