Mafia, Poker and Papers...

Today was an eventfull day atleast for oneday... I did not go to Church today. . . I wanted to listen to James MCdonald speak online on Walkintheword.org except I slept untill 2 pm. So I had a good sleep. After I woke up I started going over some work for my group assignment that I had a meeting for at 3 pm. The meeting was rather brief leaving us with some more reading and another meeting time for Tuesday. After this meeting I read for 2 hours for my theology paper due on tuesday. Tommorow is definitaly paper day... After that a friend came and got me to go play mafia with them... SOunds rather sac religious in a way. Hahah but it is actually probably one of the best group games I have ever played. If you have never played mafia write me a comment and I will explain it to you... All i can say is that it doesn't envolve alot of anything except for people and like a few playing cards. It is truly awsome, After playin mafia I made a nice dinner for some friends and then we had a nice long amazing Jam session. I have realized once agian how amazing acapella music melts me. hahha that was cheese!!! It is very true though, After singning with an Acapella group for 2 years and recording a cd, it makes me melt when I hear beautifull voices harmonize.
Our jam session was amazing and followed with another time of fellowship with my boys from 3rd floor in an awsome poker game. Ahaaahha Today was great, I got school work done and got to hang out with amazing people.
Except for one little thing I didnt Listen to James Mcdonald and I really wanted to today... So after my poker game I went online to James' website and spent some time listening to an awsome message on " Teaching sound doctrine" and not being false teachers. It was pretty good and I enjoyed it alot. YOu can hear it to if ya want, just go online to walkintheword.org

ANyway I am about to go to bed and have a good rest before I tackle that paper tommorow.
Always remember not to let God slip out of your day like I almost did today. He gives us everything and blesses us with all we have.. therefor we need to give Him credit for everything in our day...
THank you God!!!

Peace out!

p.s. - "Do it" for Him

Dream Big...

Fog, Fog and more Fog, this weather is nasty but atleast it's not freezing cold. I kind of wished I could be somewhere warm right now working for God and I wish I could be done my schooling and missionary training and just be out there working passionately for Him. I dont like money, as a matter of fact I hate it. I don't know how one can become so money hungry and just run and strive for money and all you ever care about is running after material things and having a nice life. I dunno I guess not EVERYONE sees life the same way as me, and therefor it's not worth explaining myself. It's hard to keep ones thoughts in when in doing that you hide your true dreams and your true calling from God. I dunno what else to say about that, all I know is that one day Lord willingly I will be a Missionary with the Christian and Missionary Alliance and If it is God's will for my life I will be the best missionary I can be.
Anyway it's foggy out but monday's seventeen degree weather forcast will make up for today. I went and saw Ray tonight, It was an awsome movie. I never new much about the life of Ray Charles , and I dont know how accurate this movie was but i enjoyed it. THe music in the movie was great and very entertaining, it even gave me some insparation. I love music and love performing myself, I dont think I'll ever be Ray charles but I hope that I can write music that would influence others.
So I guess what I am saying to you all out there who are talented and have dreams. Don't throw them away becuase something is dragging you down, cut what ever it is that is dragging you down and strive for your dreams. "Do it" You will see , just remember however to give God all the glory and all the credit for your life success. And one more thing don't be selfish share your gifts and traing and love and passion with others who cant dream big becuase they dont have opportunities like we do in Canada. SHare with them and help their dreams come true. And while you're at it share the truth about GOd with them as well.

Enough said....
It's time to go play some poker with my boys... AUC guys your'e the bomb!!

Peace out...

After hours...

Well, I told you about my day and my interview and stuff except not about the guy's car I had to back up into a spot. This is halarious.... So I'm walking home from the interview and yea this guy get out of his that was sort-of wedged I guess you could say between other cars and he says " Excuse me sir!! Do you know how to back in a car?" I was pretty flushed but i said yes and then he asked me to back his car into a spot. This guy was like thirty five.. I hope he doesn't read Blogs... that would be ironic and funny...however I would feel kind of bad.
After my little occurrence with the man and the nice car , I went up to my appartment wanting to take a sweet nap, except as an alternative I just sat down and started to play some online poker, had a nice cup of coffee and a blueberry muffin. Following that I read a chapter in my Philosophy text on William James. He is cool, he says "There can be no difference anywhere that does not make a difference elsewhere." What are your thoughts about that??? If you have comments feel free to intrigue me... I would like to hear your thoughts on that quote.
Well I am sitting here now, thinking about how quickly this day went by, and I dont really feel like I have done anything yet, all day. Except for the fact that I actually have done a fair bit of things. I think when you do stuff sometimes you dont take into account the time that goes by becuase maybe you like what you are doing... but then that doesnt work in some sense becuase normaly you remember something that was fun and that you like doing. So I guess I could say that I had a very dull non-exciting day that wasnt fun except for the man and the car incident. I just mean this day weangt by fast without memory. It's like another day gone without a lasting memory. Or maybe this Blog will remind of it. Time truly flies by....before I know it I'll be an old man. All I want is to do something memorable in my life that will be remembered by people. And most importantly want it to be something that glorifies God my Father. After all he formed me and he has something instore for me. "I'll just have to see where His lyrics take me.

Write me a comment and tell me about a memorable moment you have that is important to you. Then if you want tell me if you think your moment was significant to others, and why it will be remembered...

Anyway enough of me....
Write away...try to be creative
Peace out

Today was a good day...

Today was a rather good day, although I only had three and a half hours of sleep. I woke up this morning and got ready for my interview with Enrollment... The interview was almost two hours and I definitaly think I did well. I hope I get the job it will be really good for me and it will help me to organize and discipline my life. Last night we played poker for a while it was fun but it definitaly wasn't in the cards for me last night. Oh well ya win games and ya loose games... I have to do a good amount of reading tonight and tommorow, im just glad we dont have class today or tommorow, gives ya a little space to breathe...
Anyhoo, that is what's happening today... From now on I am going to try living each day as it comes instead of thinking about tommorow and a year from now.
Peace out...
