Adventure's over...

So I'm back, sunburnt and stoked. We surfed a place called "El Capitan" in the morning which breaks right on the rocks. Its a long pointbreak so if get it from the outside you can ride the wave for like 300 yards and it has a couple of barrel sections. Guys were getting tubed. I got a couple of them but it wasn't until we surfed a place called Sandspit that night that I got really barreled. It was a long day. We surfed three times, both new spots to me but it was a fun little adventure. The best part of the trip was hanging out and fellowshipping with my friends from Bible College. They are really encouraging friends and we had the best one day trip ever!

Ventura

Well its not Costa Rica like SOME youth pastors are blessed to experience but I'm up in Ventura. I surfed Oceanside harbor tonight and it was good glassy barrels. Six foot and getting bigger. Me and my friend James from Bible college, who is an amazing surfer, drove up after getting some fun waves at Oceanside. Our friend Josh and Matt who we are meeting up here said that it was huge up here tonight so it should be firing in the morning with good winds. Right now James is sharing Jesus with one of Matt's friends. He hasn't stopped talking about Jesus the entire ride up here. Praise the Lord for good friends! All right, if I don't drown or freeze tomorrow I will update with pictures and barrel stories! Lates

The Comencement

So we just cleaned up from the show tonight and it was rad. I usually don't like rock like that, but Scott's band rocks! I was totally blessed by the night, as I hope everyone that came out was. What blessed me more than everything was the way the Lord put it together. I didn't have a whole lot of time this week but He put everything together and anointed the night. We had people from several churches and it seemed everybody had fun and was blessed. All the glory goes to Jesus. Big thanks to Scott, Chris, Robby, Tommy and also Jordan and Morgan for leading worship...All you guys are anointed!

Allow me to re-introduce the Christ

I love poetry, I love poetry that is honest and speaks the truth, I love writing poetry and listening to poetry readings. This girl loves the Real Jesus and she loves His Word. This is powerful, check it out...She speaks the truth.

Wow

This is one cell. You have between 10-100 TRILLION of these that make up your body, each one a world of its own. It takes a lot of faith to believe in evolution.

The Inner Life of the Cell

Heavy

When I was in Junior High I had a pair of big black baggy jeans. I think they were size 45 or something. No lie, I could have fit four people in my pants! I still think that I would rather have those than all the skin tight jeans guys are wearing these days, but that is another story. Those incredibly baggy jeans were what the kids were wearing, and I wanted to fit in. I was looking for my identity. I was looking for what I could change about myself to be accepted. I should have been looking at my heart. I have been reading about the story of David in 1 Samuel the last few days. When everybody else was running away from Goliath, David was running towards him saying "You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. (1 Sam 17:45) David knew that Goliath wasn't just attacking his country, Goliath was defying his God. David had spent his life as a shepherd, talking to God, singing to Him, meditating on Him. David was angry at the right things and he stood up for righteousness knowing that God would have his back. David knew who he was and he knew who his God was. He didn't look like a person that would help deliver his country and family. But God doesn't look on the outward appearance, God looks at the heart. That's heavy!
