cryptic


This was going to be a cryptic post about self-examination and the ramifications of not paying attention to that, nor acting upon it.

Instead I will say this:

"For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God" - that's me

"But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man (adam), how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many!" - that's also me

"But our citizenship is in Heaven. And we eagerly await a savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ..." - this is where I belong

"But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us" - this is what happened so that I can have a life after this one.

I must find that life again, and realize that this isn't all there is. Serving, Loving, and knowing why I believe what I believe are all necessary.

I'm lost in so many other thoughts right now

I could be very unpopular. Really I could. Thank goodness for the wise words of Steve Dillon

BAND WAGON!

And wow have I fallen off of it.

first "5 things" of the new year

1. Justin Benge - the guy at "A" school who I thought was the most bitter, sarcastic, obnoxious people, has become a very good friend who is looking out for me. Incredible musician, and a no-nonsense sailor.

2. Being 1st call (locally that is) for the Jacksonville Symphony when it comes to sub players. And I actually have #3 to thank for that.

3. Tony Wise - 2nd trombone of the Jacksonville symphony and my teacher. He's an AMAZING bone player, and killin teacher, especially considering how young he is. #2 and #4 are thanks to this guy.

4. Being 1st call for Gainesville Chamber Orchestra also! Wahoo!

5. All of my friends who have been able to come see me this year - Brian, Ed, Aimee, JJ, Dave and Scott.

6. Gateway Church - cause without their series on the blessed life - I don't know that I ever would've fully understood the blessing of Tithing and Giving.
