Johnny Appleseed

The lord is good to me, and so I thank the Lord, for giving me the things I need, the sun and the rain and the appleseed the Lord is good to me.

Humbled I stand before the lord. Here I am, big, ugly, worthless me, and yet, he finds ways to use me. I am nothing special, but I have little windows of opportunity here and there to help out people and that makes me happy. I get to help people move furniture, I get to mentor young men and we keep each other accountable, I get to go on trips where I can volunteer and I get to see peoples lives changed. It is a blessing, and I thank God for it. Thank you Lord.

If you notice, the last week or so I have faced a few challenges. Somtimes I get negative and I think that everything in my life stinks, and then God reminds me of how AMAZING he is, and blessed I am.

This weekend alone I got to fly to Knoxville, Tennessee, hang out with good friends- make some new ones, watch peoples lives get changed, and then today I got to play Ultimate Frisbee. Wow.

Some nice things about Tennesee.

Big College- UT.
Lots of Trees- almost too many.
Clean- where I was the whole time it was nice and clean.
Tennessee River- WOW- it is really, really pretty.
Nice people. We worked with a lot of Volunteers, I met an especially cute one named Heather- Hi Heather! Just kidding, she knows nothing about this website and probably won't even remember my name, but she teaches 6th grade reading and she was so inquisitive about everything. I love inquisitive people when they inquisite about the right things.
Good Food- we ate at a place called Rafferty's. Delicious grilled burgers, mashed potatoes, cheese sticks, buffalo chicken fingers, and an amazing brownie Sunday- Delicious.

Oh, by the way, Jamie McCracken said that Identity, that new movie that is just out- is really scary, but good. Watch out for the language though.
Congratulations again to Josh Wiese and Erika Leo- they are engaged. Great, Great people- could I love them anymore? Nope.
Okay, that's enough for now- must take shower- way too much frisbee....
