Next week is it!!

So next week is it....California State Barbers Exam in Glendale California!! I have not done as much studying this week cause I have had a lot on my mine. Wayne told me to just relax keep studying and put everything aside.

This test is a big deal....I am actually pretty confident that I will do ok. The stressful thing is really all the extra stuff I have had to learn. Beth has done her best helping me out.

I wish wayne and I had more time to kick it around so cal after my test. When we get into town I pretty much focus on my test in the hotel room and get a good nights sleep.

Oh yeah, I want to go to Cisco Burger!!!!

Seriously my head hurts...

I have been sitting here for about and hour trying to figure out what to type. Just finished talking to my older brother and my mom......I am still not sure what to write.

When you have family there is always good and bad times. Sometimes you can not control them, sometimes you can. Unfortunately this instance is something I can not control and it has been eating me up to a point where I can not study and focus on my state boards which are NEXT WEEK!!

All I can say is this right now....I love my brothers!!! Both of them and I know sometimes I can be a DB and I am sorry. I am proud of both of my brothers. Wayne has been at the same job for a while and when it is time to retire he willl be alright and well billie finishes law school and that is not small job. I missed my brothers while I was in washington and I have my days where I feel that the adjustment on being back in California has been a bit tough on me (not quite sure why...maybe all in head)

I think I do have a point in this blog and here it is (before I loose my train on though)....No matter how close your frinds may be when you have family remember they are your family for life!!

I hope this makes sense even in my own head!!!

time will come

You know I was hoping at this point I would have some kind of revelation...Some big answer to my questions but I am learning it does not work that way (well sometimes it does). To know the will of God takes time, takes prayer and takes just well....listening!

At this time my desire is to know the heart of God....And all I can do is spend time in the word, in prayer, fellowshipping with other beleivers to encourage. Do not get me wrong I do not believe in dropping you "non christian" friends because in the end they need God as much as I do.

Easter Sunday....

This might piss someone off and thats cool but I have one complaint about easter sundays.

Yes it is the day we as Christian acknowledge the resurection of Jesus Christ...but what about the rest of the year!!! Why does it seem that the resurection story is not important for the rest of the year.

The death and resurection of Jesus Christ is why we have salvation, so why do we as a body only make a big deal out if it once a year. It is part of our hope for salvation if this day had never happened we would have no hope for eternity.

my two cents

Nations Of The Underground 2008.....along road ahead

So here it is.....I got registered for Nations OF THe Underground yesterday and I am really excited about this. For a couple of reasons....1) this is my first time back to Texas since about '93, 2) Hopefully finally get to meet my sister shannon and her family and 3) To be apart of NOTU and just put my self in a position the be equipped to minister the Gospel.


Listen I know it sounds odd for some people who know me...But since the move there have been a few changes. Things I have not really talked about to anyone about but these are changes that I am quite proud of. One of the things I am doing is starting the process rolling to be a volunteer with Youth For Christ here in Dinuba to the extent of becoming a Chaplain. Which leads me to Nations of the Underground.I am trying to get to NOTU for the biblical and spiritual training to share the gospel and you may be shaking your head and wll thats cool if you are but I beleive God has started to birth a desire in my life to do what he wants and not what I want...I am really not sure how to explain this.


Listen I am still going to share beers with the ones I love....I do not want to be one of those two faced guys "who find religion" and you know the kind of person I am talking about. But I do hope to be the person that when you sit down with me and chat you see a diffence in me. For more information on Nations OF THe Underground or Deliverance Bible Church please go to www.www.nationsoftheunderground.com. Below is a donation button...if you choose to you can make a donation to help me get to Texas.


Also if I make it out....I will have all my barber gear to do haircuts while in the area.....so keep that in mind.


Cheers

Whats more important...words or actions

This weekend my Father in law is going to this conferance thats about "Relational Evangelism" which really leads me to my question....Whats more important what we have to say or how we live.

I think it is really easy to say it is one or the other, but I think really it has to be both. Our words need to match our actions. You can live your life in a positive way and be a good influence and role model but whats going to happen when all they see is that Joe shmoe is a "good guy" but not once did he ever show CHrist, not once did he ever share the word of God and bring the the chance for Salvation.

IS it a fine line or am I just insane.....Do we sometimes forget that sometimes the world can just see us a "Good People" unless we grow the bullocks to share CHrist with those who may not know him...or even know you are a christian.

Thats whats in my head tonight
Cheers

Creating a Unified Front

It is encouraging to find groups, individual or organizations that share your same desire...even if they do not know it.

One of the things that I have always wanted to be apart of is something that can change the world....Be around people that desire to see the lost come to God. Below is just what I am talking about



"God bless these guys and all they put there hands to....let the holy spirit lead them in directions most christians fear to go"
