Neub hook.

Just bought a new book. I know, I've never said those words before. I bought The Gospel According to Star Wars. So far I've read just the introduction. If the rest of the book is going to be like the intro, I'm not sure if I can handle it. It looks like a good book, but it might just be too much for me. Also, I haven't read Proverbs for like a week. I know, I suck. Here's whats coming up for me:
1) I'm going to Iowa the 27-29th(or 30th)
2) I'm giving the message for the Easter Sunrise Service. I've got no clue what I'm going to talk about. I'm not even up in front of anybody, but I'm insanely nervous already. Terrificationified.
3) If all goes well, I'm going to do an internship this summer. I'll be Jon's intern for like 2 or 3 months.
4) I bought a sweet Beach Boys CD. I like the Beach Boys because I remember, being a young'un, on road trips my dad would always play the Beach Boys, so I like them because they remind me of when I was a children child kid boy. YO!

Also, I gave everybody in the middle school youth group a new nickname. My name is "your majesty" sweet, eh?

Exodus

So I've got 11 chapters left in Exodus. The last like 5 chapters have been a drag. It was just an extremely repetitive description of offerings and alters and the tabernacle and priest clothing and my gosh. It was just rough to get through. I know there's a reason (which i'm not sure of) but is there really a reason to be that in-depth and repetitive. One chapter is God's description of how to make the clothes. The next chapter is a description of Moses giving people the description of how to make the clothes. Cant they just say, here's how you make the clothes, then say they made them? Whatever. Genesis was totally exciting to read and Exodus has kinda seemed boring. Maybe I'm missing something... maybe not.

Proverb

Proverbs 15:9 The Lord hates how sinners live. But he loves those who run after what is right. (NIRV) A life frittered away disgusts God; he loves those who run straight for the finish line. (The Message) I included both version because they each say a little bit different things to me. "the Lord hates how sinners live" sticks out to me because I live like a sinner. "run straight for the finish line." i want that to be my goal, my purpose. Everything I do should be for God, but it isn't always like that. Today I will strive for that.

No school for you.... pthua!

I convinced my mom to let me skip this semester of school. YES! But, its on one condition: I must go to Nicolet next year. That's fine with me. Nicolet sounds like a great experience, although a year away from all I have here seems a stretch. Also, if I go to Nicolet, I'll be needing a more reliable car. So I'm on the look for a new car. I did find a Dodge Dakota sport truck for 3500. Don't know anything else about the car. I wouldn't mind driving that beast around.

Proverb

12-13 There's a way of life that looks harmless enough;
look again—it leads straight to hell.
Sure, those people appear to be having a good time,
but all that laughter will end in heartbreak.

Proverb

Today my proverb is 12:21 "No evil can overwhelm a good person, but the wicked have their hands full of it." Often I feel overwhelmed by the filth of my sin. It pounds against my heart, relentlessly, refusing to give up. I give in to my sin all the time. Why does it overcome? Why do I let it? Many reason, but either way it's time to change it.
