God's grace is AMAZING

my friend wrote this.

Hallelujah here I come.

I am getting stronger everyday,

Pushing through the rains that fall my way,

Hallelujah here I come.

We're much stronger when we're one,

Hallelujah here I come.

Oh, I love You from the depths of my heart,

And nothing here will tear me apart.

Everything's beautiful with You,

Everything's beautiful, when You invade my life.

And I'm living just to say that 'I love You'.

Im getting closer everyday,

Chasing the dreams that heaven gave,

Hallelujah here I come.

Im getting closer everyday,

Into Your arms I'm here to stay.

We're much stronger when we're one,

Hallelujah here I come

Thank you for sharing with me dude. You can talk to me whenever you need to talk. Never hesitate to call me or ask for help. I am really proud of you opening up to me.

On a lighter note this is my friend sherrese. I put her picture on my blog today because i think she has one of the sweetest smiles i have ever seen. This girl is the type that could walk into a room with a bunch of people who feel sorry for themselves, and SMILE! she would open eyes, and jaws would drop. She just has that ability. such a genuine smile. I LOVE IT!!

Great Lyrics

such a good song. Okay, so the past few days have been pretty exciting. Yesterday Jennifer Boen (reporter from Fort Wayne News Sentinal) She wants to do a story on me. A photographer came and everything. It's pretty awesome. She told me if i am not in the saturday edition, then she which would be tomorrow, then she will try to get me on the 1st page of next weeks. 1st PAGE!! Thats awesome.

So there was that, and i met this dude at a friends house...super talented rapper, wants to help me do a benefit show @ Starbucks. I am really excited to see where that goes.

This is the guy i met at a friends house, he is super good at layin out lyrics. talent. It's exciting to see where it will go.

Snow+Me+Shovel+Ice=Money

Yesterday evening I went to work around 9:15p.m., I got home around 6ish a.m.! I got rid of the snow, If I saw snow, I attacked it! BAM! NO MORE SNOW! It was cool, I got a chance to ride around with Fred, a foreman at Vision Scapes. I have known him all summer, but never really had a chance to get to know him. He is a really good guy, super friendly, awesome father, caring husband. I really enjoyed working with him. It was a good night.

M/S UPDATE:
Okay, so today I feel fine. I have noticed I have been really low on energy, I mean I know I worked a butt load yesterday, but the past week, I have just been really not energized. I dunno, not something to worry about, just something to take note of. My hands tremble, it is a really crazy feeling. To put your hands out in front of your face, trying your hardest just to keep them still. They shake anyways, you can tighten up your muscles as hard as you want, it doesn't matter.

MONDAY, the day before Tuesday.

Today I got a chance to talk to a good buddy, Jayson Petoskey. I signed onto Facebook, and BAM it told me that today was Jayson's B-DAY. So, out of respect for my homie I gave his cell phone a call. Well, it wasn't currently in service, but it told me his dorm room phone #, and so I gave it a call. Now, me and J use to be like Peanut Butter and Jelly. We were inseparable, like a bonnie & klide of sorts. We shared some good times up in Traverse City. Here is a picture of my good buddy Jayson.

We are a lot alike, we think in a similar fashion. We are both stubborn as a ox. And we both have to learn things the hard way. I think thats why we were such good friends so quickly.

So, today i wrote Montel a letter. Yea, the guy from the television show. He is a huge M/S advocate, and so I figuered I should at least give it a try. So I did. We'll see. Today I also wrote a couple of Local television stations. Hoping, praying, somebody somewhere picks up on my story and takes an interest. I will find him/her I know I will. It is pretty amazing to see all the people God has put in my life already. AMAZING! ok, with that said, I'M OUT.

Manning is good at throwing interceptions.

OK, so I watched the superbowl with my sis and her friends tonight. Here are some pictures of the FOOTBALL ACTION!!!

Here is a picture of Ali, and Audra. I went to their apartment, and it was real cozy. There was a wood burning fire place, and tons of football food.

Starting from the way left on the couch is Leean, in the middle with the green hat is Shorty, To the right in a blue hoodie is my beautiful sister Merideth, and on the floor layin down is Tracy.
We all knew who was gonna win. Payton needed his Super Bowl ring. He just had to have it!

I have to say this, because it should just be said. I do believe that homosexuality is a sin, but I have nothing but the ut most respect for her and every one of her friends. They are some of the nicest people i know. Super kind hearted, and just generally good people. I think swearing and lieing is a sin. In the big guys book, A SIN IS A SIN! So, the game was good in the first half, but fairly predictable in the 2nd. It was fun though. It is seriously 0 degrees outside ryte now. So freeking cold! brrrrrrrrrrrr..... Well, i think i am going to go pass out, I have a lot of fundraising related things to do. I really hope it doesn't snow tonight, It is just too cold for snow removal. aight i am out, this time for real. fer shizzle.

Watch God, See God work, God work GOOD.

I have to start off by giving props to this band my sister Merideth introduced me to. The band is called The Fray, The CD is titled "how to save a life." I really like them, I can tell they put a lot of emotion into their work. Pretty neat, I suppose you could call the genre "Emo." You can call it whatever you want, i call it good.





So, Merideth came over the home earlier today, well it was maybe mid afternoon. She and my dad worked on her tax forms, then she agreed to take me to try to get a bunch of copy's of 4 different forms. I wanted 100 copies of each individual form. So, 400 copies of forms, then i wanted 5 copies of the 52 page Patient Handbook. Lets see, we went to Kinko's first. There was no manager working that could help. So then we went off to Office Depot. I talked to the manager that was on Duty. His name was jason, he seemed extremely uninterested. He wasn't even paying attention when i was attempting to tell him about my situation. So, we left there a lil dissapointed. But not beaten. This next part is really cool, My sis tells me, hey why don't we try Staples? I was like, well it's worth a try. I 411 Staples in my phone. It connected me to a lady named Sheryl. Told her my story, and she seemed very interested and willing to participate. So, we drive out to the south side of Fort Wayne. I walked into the store, and talked a lil bit with Sheryl. Turns out her brother has M/S. huh. Irony or God? you choose. So, she made a ton of copies, and wished me good luck. it was really neat to see how God put Staples in my sisters head, then everything worked from there. Very cool.

God, the Father
There is but one God, the eternal Father, the Creator; a personal, spiritual Being, infinite in love and wisdom, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient, immortal.

Yummy Quote

"Live your life each day as you

would climb a mountain.

An occasional glance toward the

summit keeps the goal in mind,

but many beautiful scenes are

to be observed from each new

vantage point.

Climb slowly, steadily, enjoying

each passing moment; and the view

from the summit will serve as a

fitting climax for the journey."

Harold V. Melchert




I had a good day today. I got a lot of good things accomplished, I talked to Suzy from NTAF. At first I was kind of upset by our conversation, once i got over myself, we ended up having a really good convo. I got a lot of good information, and well it was just a productive conversation. I talked to someone on the phone towards the end of the day, I really enjoyed talking to this person, I told her i was going to do something for her tomorrow. I think it made her kind of excited. Good feeling, I like making people feel good. Well, it's late. I am super tired, hopefully I can pass right out. LATERS!
