Hmm so I was thinking in church today. Dad read a quote from Winston Churchill. This is probably the most famous speech given by him. In what probably seemed the darkest our for Europe, most of Europe had fallen under the rule of Nazi Germany. Now there focus had turned to the little Island of Briton. This was the last stronghold that stood in the way of America. The Prime Minister of this little island, was Sir Winston Churchill. It was now they he gave his speech to the people who looked to him for strength. Its a bit long but well worth reading:

"Even though large tracts of Europe and many old and famous States have fallen or may fall into the grip of the Gestapo and all the odious apparatus of Nazi rule, we shall not flag of fail. We shall go on to the end. We shall fight in France, we shall fight on the seas and oceans, we shall fight with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fight on the beaches, we shall fight on the landing grounds, we shall fight in the fields and in the streets, we shall fight in the hills; we shall never surrender, and even if, which I do not for a moment believe, this island or a large part of it were subjugated and starving, then our Empire beyond the seas, armed and guarded by the British Fleet, would carry on the struggle, until, in God's good time, the new world, with all its power and might, steps forth to the liberation of the old"

The attitude he had was not one of 'if you do this i will do this' but rather, 'we will fight till the end'. There was no promise of winning. But still they would fight. It got me thinking that often our attitude towards evangelism is one of, 'its something i'm supposed to do' when it should be more like the people of Briton. We need to fight till the end for what we know is right, and not give in to the oppression. This is the attitude of the persecuted church all around the world. They are threatened, tortured, and murdered, yet still they press forward and spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So I hope this is a challenge to you, it defanitly is to me.

Hmm... life really makes one think. If one wants to. Full of complex relationships, weird people, and the desire to feel like your life is fullfilling. The hardest part about this i think is that, we will feel the most satisfied when we let God direct our lives. Its weird because the more i chase other things that are 'fullfilling', the more discontent i become. Weird huh? God is pretty cool.

So I didn't have work on friday and i don't work tomorrow. cuz of work slowing down. So unfourtanitly i might be on the job hunt again. :( I hate hunting for jobs. But on the bright side, I might be working with CEF this summer again. Which i'm so excited for cuz i love working for them! Anyway thats whats new in my life.

So i'm pretty sick of winter. I have come up with a plan. I am going to google ways to make summer come faster. You never know whats out there. You know, maybe nuke the north pole, the earth my tilt a little but. Or we could build a massive tow rope and build an equally as big spaceship and pull our earth straight so its not tilted wrong, that way you winter people can move to the north pole and there'll still be summer. Hmm i might have some good ideas there. If you have any feel free to let me know. I also need to find some sort of hobby, preferably something that doesn't cost lots of money. If you have any ideas for that i'll accept them gladly. :D

I'm ressurecting my blog, cuz i'm bored. So whats new in my life, i'm growing my hair out, i'm working right now, and planning on going to Liberty next fall. But the best of all, is... I GOT NAPOLEON DYNAMITE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

So yeah theres gonna be some changes around here on this blog so stay tuned America.

Well its pretty much been almost forever since i've updated my blog. So here goes, since last september I've been going to Word of Life Bible Institute in NY. Its been pretty cool, the winters suck and are super cold. I think I'll move down south when I get some more money saved up now that I've spent it all there. But it was a good experience though, I learned alot and defanitly grew closer to God. And I met alot of really cool people who i call friends. :) This summer I'm gonna be back up there working as a counselor for their teen summer camp. Its gonna be fun though, pray for me. I might die, that wouldn't be good either. So yeah thats whats been going on in my life over the past year and a half since I last updated. Oh and I bought a car too. Its pretty cool. So yeah thats it I think... I don't know if anyone will ever read this but who knows.

I just got back from the docters. Yesterday i had an MRI and today they told me the results. i did tare a ligament in my knee. I have to rest for 10 days now than I'll go back and they'll decide whether to do surgery or physical therapy. Please pray that I'll only need therapy.
I bought Relient K's newest cd today. And I got a Pillar cd. So I'm gonna be really bored the next couple weeks cuz I can't work. So if you get the time maybe you'd like to email me. my email is ctm1690-at-gmail.com

It looks like its time for an update. Since august I've been working on a potato farm. Other than that nothing really is new. I'm finishing up my last year of highschool and in the fall I'm planning on going to Word of Life. On friday I did something to my knee at work, the docters think I might have torn a ligament. So tomorrow I go for an MRI. I guess they'll be able to tell what happened from that. So right now I'm just sitting around the house doing school. Exciting huh? If anybody even still reads my blog then heres an update you can comment on.
