change.

change is part of life.
deal or die.

life is so incredibly split right now.
i love life on the edge. unpredictable.
but that leaves for some intense unknowns.
and there's something to be said for the comfort in predictable.

im going start making things. shoes. wallets. bags. guitar straps. drum stick bags. etc.
creative custom order. its gonna be cool i think.

christmas is just around the corner and im excited to give gifts to my friends and family.
its so great to see the change in my own life pertaining to other people.

theres so much to talk about and i need to start updating specifics.

love.

give me truth...

what is freedom??
freedom by the standards of america mean that you have to live within the boundaries of:
power*,
racism**,
manipulation*,
hate**,
greed*,
lust*,
money*,
fame*,
discrimination**,
favoritism,
and the list goes on.
*all socially acceptable and encouraged in society
** have become the "cool" thing to fight

LOVE.
why the hell does the english language only have one word for it??
its doesn't seem like the word alone is enough.

oh i know why,
because without action to back it up.
thats all it is.

a word.

-help me live out love; loud; now.


in love, there is true freedom.

THINK ABOUT IT!!

if we thought with LOVE at the front of our mind, who would show favoritism? who would favor one race over another? WHO WOULD EVEN SEE RACE? why would we tirelessly pursue money, fame, and status?

the american dream, the more i think about it, is an idea that directly goes against the teachings of Jesus Christ.


in Love, there is true freedom.

heads or tails

so many things are coming to a point. one which i cannot easily pinpoint or discuss for fear of being misunderstood. Jesus is my hero. on so many different levels. i cannot fully explain or even comprehend.

the life which i lead, i lead now for one solemn goal; to leave this world changed.

its all in Your hands now.

Re:wind Records Re:think

RRR is a new record label/thought organization that im going to be trying to get going. if you want more info on this, let me know.

can you hear it?

in keeping with the dreams of fathers and the visions of the young; i have a few of my own.

by accomplishing what is known to be accomplishments among society as we know it today; is it really an accomplishment? who determines our future? why do we do what we do? what drives us to accomplish?

i pledge to live as a radical. to go beyond the ordinary. enslaved to freedom and love.

and how does that look?

[can you imagine...]

i want to travel the country with no home.
//a nomad.//
with people who share the dream of dreams and carry the weight of [life and love].
with a backpack and a guitar.
and a heart full of [life and love]. love. love.
bent on finding what makes life.

why do i feel this way?
where is my home?

i think i know my purpose.

Mantles

mantle of greatness-
mantle of ministry-

two totally separate things.

...God grant me a mantle of ministry.

9-10-08

The winds of season are changing and I can feel it in the breeze.
Tomorrow is an adventure that lies a mystery today.

Anticipation is in the air for this next season that is coming quickly.

Clarity is a chief subject in my prayers as of late. Our family here is enduring challenges and trials, none of which are too large to be tackled with prayer and grace from our Lord Jesus Christ. The situation here is similar to what the East coast has been recently, I’m sure; we’re bracing and preparing for torrential rain!!
This past Tuesday, we as a body, annointed and prayed over the whole foundry campus. And the enemy knew we were coming. Jim had an accident and fell on the rough concrete and was rushed to the emergency room by Philip and Mary. By the grace of God, he only needed a few stitches and some bandages. No broken bones!! Praise the Lord!! But we press on. Tomorrow is another day.

And Sept 12th quickly approaches.

New Album

Good day friends.

Be on the lookout for a new album.

It is going to be a worship hymn album comprised of some of my favourite old hymns and Psalms amped up a little as to be tolerable and maybe even singalongable.

If you have any suggestions as to what songs you would absolutely love to hear redone and modernized, let me know!! 

Stones...

-Jesus forgive us for being so wrapped up in the things of You, that we ignore You.

I am SO sick of hearing of all the people who want to grab a piece of a work or a move of God so much that they ignore the need for Love right underneath their noses. oh if the church would awaken and see that church isn't a demonstration or production on sunday morning, but its working as a body, a unit to act as Jesus.  Love. Love. Love. 

John 15:12

"how can we worship a homeless guy on sunday and then ignore [or neglect] one on monday?"

basically, we need to get back to the fundamentals, which NEVER get old, even though its a message as old as time (and when you break it down, ironically, ); Jesus died, He preched a message of radical Love, hope, faith, compassion, sacrifice, grace, mercy, judgement, servitude, redemption, achievable holiness, and SO much more. so why the HELL do people desire "miracles" and "signs" and "wonders"?? is Jesus not wonderful enough as it is?? do we not have enough faith to know that God is sovereign and all powerful to move and save as He wills?? why do we have to be so selfish as to ask for "signs, wonders, and miracles"??

oh wait.

i know.

Matt 12:39

and others...

its necessary.

its time for us to be Christ-like; its a message of a [hope, love, and faith] journey.

DC Trip

8-15-08

Hard to believe that I’ve only know these guys for only about 2 days, Kassi for even shorter.  There is such a connection. I have no clue what it is. Yea I do...Jesus. But today is the drive to DC and things are not getting off to a good start. Animosity and tensions run rampant, and coffee is in great need amongst our posse. We left at friggin 10 o’clock. But things will get better. Knoxville sucks because I-40 is closed and there’s weird detours. BUT for lunch we totally tracked down a Panera using “free 411” and bouncing around to find the nearest restaurant during the Knoxville extravaganza. Did it. We registered all the unregisterees. We checked email. We ate tasty lunch. Tennessee forever. Virginia forever. House late. Spiders in the basement. Crash ON my sleeping bag only after an INTENSE conference with our group. Maile got pissed. The Call tomorrow.

BondServant

More to come.

8-16-08

The Call.

On the Mall.

Too much for words.

God showed me a lot things, the key points being:

- mark myself (setting apart myself) for the Lord

musical inspiration

renewed consecration and dedication in prayer for issues that break the heart of God. 

confirmation of the fact that i need these years to train myself in the way of the Lord.

and sooo much more.

late night california burrito of something like that. good burrito. bad hot sauce.

8-17-08

Late sleep.

Downtown Georgetown.

THE BEST ITALIAN RESTAURANT EVER!!!

Fourteen effing hours in H&M.

Then downtown DC:

the day ended with a pickup from Bread and Co.

Springville Camp '08

what a phenomenal time.

those kids are SO cool.

i wish i could be half as cool as the kids and staffers.

cool staffers.

Jesus is SO good.

so faithful.

i gave Him my relationships. 

hold me to that.

i want so bad to be not alone anymore. i want the next level.

i don't want to be here anymore. 

i want to be radical, 

i want to be free. 

i know what i have to do but doing it is the hardest thing i'll ever have to do. 

anybody know what im talking about??

does anyone read my words? ever?

Jesus i give it all to you.

Springville Camp '08 Day 2

blob. 

neck.

pain. 

it was SO worth it =)

rock. 

worship. 

together. 

we did it. 

our sound system sounded SO good tonight. 

last night we got repaid for our terrible night last night.

the enemy WILL NOT WIN.

Springville Camp '08 Day 1

wow. 

the sight of hundreds of kids indignantly pursuing God with ALL their energy, focus, and strength is one that is stirring enough to move someone to tears. 

this week is going to be fun. 

i need it to be fun. 

because i need a vacation. 

and i NEED Him. 

more than a vacation. 

-be my source of life-

in all that goes on this week, i pray that its real. i PRAY GOD that its not an emotional trip or a temporary high. i seriously believe that these kids are hungry for the REAL thing. and i pray they find it. 

well...

they WILL find it. 

if they want to. 

blob. 

can't frickin wait. 

MY AMP BLEW UP!!

kinda. the tubes are shot. 

it sounds like doo doo. 

but i'll take care of it tomorrow.

until then...

stuck

i wonder why it is that about half way through the summer my substantial imaginative capability declines at a rapid pace. or should i say the desire to be substantially imaginatively productive declines...

either one sucks.

im stuck. 

im mad. 

im tired.

ulgh.

JESUS i need you now.

relentless

yea i want to be pretentious.
i want to be relentless
when it comes to loving You.

at night at times it seems
i can't sleep when your in my head

please don't ever ever leave
don't think you never please

doctors visits

doctors visits force the reality of the mortality of immediate progenitors upon unsuspecting victims.

such as myself.

death indeed comes to us all but it really hits home when you begin to feel its sting.

i do not fear death. i doubt my parents or grandparents fear death. the thing i fear is the pain that will come with the death of those i love.

yes, we must cherish our time together on earth. but more than that, we must realize that parents have the biggest kingdom influence on children. and a majority of parents are too wrapped up with being their child's "best friend" to realize that their influence reaches beyond the mundane, and commonly temporary, friendship. and theres so much more.

really, we need fathers and mothers. not moms and dads.

i need a father and mother.

sounds

everyone has one. 

wheres yours? 

can you hear it? 

can you feel it?

everyone has one. 

it just has to be found.

it has to be let out.

it has to be set free.

stars. 

the subject of a million conversations, the theme of a hundred thousand songs, and still, with every mention of the word itself, adding to the infinite number of times spoken already, there are more. 

more. more. more.

stars.

how do you label the expanse? universe doesn't quite cut it.

the music won't stop playing. 

~help me find a way to let it out~

//when i look at the stars...//

let me not be silent.

for the sound of heaven is near and the roar of a generation is growing faint.

i was born for the road. everything about it. is it possible that only a select few are able? only the elite are to be taken captive in its intrigue. not elite by traditional standards of class or rank, but of  outstanding passion and calling.

its calling...

 

CHYEA

love it.

absolutely love it. 

i wonder who i'll marry?

i have to reorient myself daily to the things by which i reference intelligence. be it books, movies, music, or visual art. all of which are done by humans. 

why do i find it necessary to reference other human beings when referring to intelligence or even creativity??  to what other Source can i find my source??

frick man, 

i want a beard. and a daughter.

and the mention of the desire for the two in sequence as such proves that im not ready for either.

beard indicating manhood.

daughter indicating the acceptance of the responsibility of bringing another human being into this world. 

wow.

life is really real. 

//made this world to look so nice, i wonder what the next one's like//

 

so im thinking i may try my hand at writing for more than just personal archives of my life and online updates of it. would a music review be a good idea?

or just a waste of time?

jah faor meguen ti puien meh

i really think im shooting blanks.

sorta like ricki lake. 

funny, existence will never cease to have existed, no matter how much time goes by. 

it still happened. 

boondock saints - death penalty

fight club - materialism

we must all fear evil men. but there is another kind of evil we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men.

must vengeance be sought after always??

even in personal instances??

maybe that is what is so revolutionary about creative application of the principals set forth by Jesus; love those that hate you. whoa!! what a concept. it can change everything. 

if we would only let it.

cold condition

  

life v. 1.99999999999999999999999998

God has been rocking my world lately by bringing in so many different opportunities that are GREAT but still a lot to take in. im SO pissed at the city of athens right now for their lack of competence in dealing professionally with other human beings that could potentially work with/for them. SO stupid.

im ready to get away.
nashville is calling me.
i hear the sound.
and its good.
its music to my ears.

thats another door opened. i might not even have to work for the city to make the kind of money i want this summer. THANKS JESUS!!!!

we'll find out tomorrow morning.

so love.
lets talk about it.

new revelations are so cool.
and my friends are often times the ones to blame for them.

today was a TON of fun just hanging out and being me and learning that i can pull off ANY style/look if i have the confidence to do so and the authority of Jesus.
im working on that thank you very much.

i have a refreshed appreciation for the visual art form.
vincent, pablo, etc
cool guys.
with a lot to say.

i like some of the turns my life has taken and im disturbed by others.
i don't know what to make of life as of right this very second. i might wake up a 3 am and figure it out.
but until then.
clueless.

music...

why do You make me feel this way???


spiders. they're all up in matts office.

jon foreman.
gosh, no words.

just melody.

no words just melody.
HA new song.

wish i had my own place so i could write it now.
the end.

new home for my blogs

im transferring a lot of my post from my myspace blog over to here IN ORDER so hopefully you can keep in time with my life as things progress. im primarily going to be posting on this from now on. people don't really read my blogs on myspace.

If the gospel isn’t good news for everybody, it isn’t good news for anybody.

And this is because the msot powerful things happen when the church surrenders its desire to convert people and convince them to join. It is when the church gives itself away in radical acts of service and compassion, expecting nothing in return, that the way of Jesus is most vividly put on display. To do this, the church must stop thinking about everybody primarily in categories of in or out, saved or not, believer or nonbeliever. Besides the fact that these terms are offensive to those who are the "un" and "non", they work against Jesus' teachings about how we are to treat each other. Jesus commanded us to love our neighbor, and our neighbor can be anybody. We are all created in the image of God, and we are all sacred, valuable creations of God. Everybody matters. To treat people differently based on who believes what is to fail to respect the image of God in everyone. As the book of James says, "God shows no favoritism." So we don't either.

tuesday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DC

oh i think you know.

do away with all the things you once held so dear.
make them history along with all of your fears.
a new wave is sweeping across your heart.
feel it deepen as though never to depart.
my life, my love, my soul, my God.
here and again i speak my peace.
above all else, i stay beneath.

i saw you sleeping tonight.
peace, sleep ever so tight.

why can't you understand??
break out!!
this is urgent.
this is serious.

LAKLAND. thursday. maybe?

it will be who you are....

what is my life coming to? well, really, i know. but its too soon to tell for sure. i know parts, but all shall reveal itself in due course. its time to put away the childish things. i've relinquished my spiritual vegetarianism long ago. i eat meat. and im still hungry. hunger stirs something. desire. desire for food. that is, desire stemmed from hunger induced by the precise means. like vagueness. some will read all this and think, "ok im bored." others, "what does that mean?" and the desire for understanding will root and bear branches to reach out to gain insight and revelation. sort of like the Bible.
but nevertheless, i will press on and rise up and be who i am CALLED to be. and do what i am CALLED to do. fullfil what is my destiny to fulfill. i am a Son of Thunger (haha! typos...sigh)

NEVER STOP LOVING!!!!
if you have to change who you ARE to start loving, then at all cost (implied in the fore contingency) DO IT.
God is Love. and God, in the form of the Holy Spirit, dwells in your existence. so to withhold Love, is to deny existence of xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Sometimes

When will I learn that you hold the earth in your hands??

You hold the earth.

I won’t let my words get in the way of love.

You are love.

But sometimes I can’t see Your Face.

Sometimes I can’t hear Your Voice.

All the things that tend to get in the way of you God.

I give them all to You.

Every breath I breathe in I breathe because of You.

I’d be lost without you.

Yet sometimes I can’t see your face.

Sometimes I can’t hear your voice.

You are my soul.

You are my passion.

All the things I see and all the things I hear, they resonate Your Glory.

So COME DOWN HERE and dwell in Your beautiful

beautiful

beautiful

beautiful, bride.

Still sometimes I can’t see your face.

Sometimes I can’t hear your voice.
