Alright here we go again. Busy busy. I say it twice for these reasons. My body is busy and my Mind is busy. sadly in two different things. So let me go into more detail on those things.
First of all my body is busy because. I have been with my dad working on his apartments first 3 weeks was just ripping out walls and things from the wall, doing some electrical things too. I got to deal with the heaters and there wiring. then starting last week and this week has been putting up new walls in the kitchen which has turned up looking quite nice. Its great to get to see clean tidy results after a good hard days work. It becomes more difficult to do because my dad and I sadly think exactly alike during work. Now you people probably don't understand why I say sadly. But its because both of us are used to just taking the orders and doing. For my dad he has to learn to be the one leading in removing and giving me things to do with him. And since he has that I have to learn to be able to see things before he has to say anything and get to it. So in the end we're both doing things we aren't normal to do. Plus neither of us are used to holding up heavy 10 footer pieces of sheet-rock to the roof while the other is trying to put the screws in to be less stress. Man I never realized those muscles were even there..... >_< Another sad thing is not having the right tools. Like lacking of processing the right saw for sheet-rock and having to use a normal utility knife for each cut.
Now to the second thing. My mind is far into and unto the idea of future. Trying to piece things together. From schooling to work to home to other people in my life to car to license to remember I need to trust in God for each of them to work out and be willing to follow through with how he will bring it about in me. Too many big questions and very important choices to be made and then to realize life will only bring more and more of those kinds of questions. Talk about brain traffic-jam. Thankfully hitting a stop light does mean eventually the light will turn green and I can go forward again. Anyway that's it for now, Gotta go back to work.

Bouncing in my head
The feeling of being home came to me as a cough and a slight head ache, Followed by great meals, family company, and a fuzzy kitty. I spent the last 2 weeks with the Newton's at Maranatha camp, and they're family reunion. Which was both a good time of blessing and teaching to me. I word of praise from me is that Sarah was brought home early from her trip, and we "whole group here in Cornwall" could enjoy her company for an extra month. It was quite nice to be accepted by each of the newtons relatives as family. While at Maranatha I was touched by the services in realizing just how much the world is getting into my life and God is working in me to change that. I know this is short, but its an update, and I as I said have a head ache and am leaving for church soon. So too bad for you 15 page daily news readers. :D

Things of late
Well hello again and all that. At the present moment I'm at the newtons house, looking for something to do, and decided I put up an update on what things have been going on of late.
First of all. In 5 days is my birthday. So I'm rather hoping to get several things. I know a screw driver set would be needed for the future, as would a pliers set. I would like a certain book, and my brother and I are going to be looking into getting a scoped pellet gun :)
Second of all. I am also looking forward to is a hike in august. As a late birthday present. due to what it next on my list of things I'm looking forward to.
Third is I'm looking forward to July, for not only will I be going with the newtons to maranatha, But also I'll be able to see Sarah again.
Fourth this list is rather small and not really put a lot of information into it, but that's okay I guess. Depends who I'm talking to on that subject. I've been keeping up with the same breathing problem, tho it does seem to be better then before which is an answer to prayer. I do hope it goes away completely, soon if not tomorrow. Another odd thing, every bus that passes me seems to be filled with kids who find humour in pointing, laughing, and yelling random things out at me.
Now I'm answering questions of lizzy and tim who are wondering what every button on the laptop does, including making me push 3,X and L. the next sentence will be what tim wants me to write. tim. apparently he only wanted me to type his name, how he first said 3 and then x and then L, I dont know.
Another thing is, this family seems to enjoy taking tons of pictures, majority of the ones I've seen this time, if not all the pics taken, were of me sadly enough. Also I know what its like to have kids all around me. I don't know how you do it Sarah. I think I can handle it, but not daily. oh well I guess it could get funny. Elijah just sent me a picture of you having to deal with this very thing, so I guess I'll put it on here, I dont think they took one of my being crowded but oh well.

Philippians 2 Study
Study on Philippians 2
Philippians 2
If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the spirit, in any bowels and mercies. Fulfil ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant and was made in likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Wherefore, my beloved, as ye have always obeyed, not as in my presence only, but now much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling. For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. Do all things without murmurings and disputings: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; that I have no run in vain, neither laboured in vain. Yea, and if I be offered upon the sacrifice and service of your faith, I joy, and rejoice with you all. For the same cause also do ye joy, and rejoice with me. But I trust in the Lord Jesus to send Timotheus shortly unto you, that I also may be of good comfort, when I know your state. For I have no man likeminded, who will naturally care for your state. For all seek their own, not the things which are Jesus Christ's. But ye know the proof of him, that, as a son with the father, he hath served with me in the gospel. Him therefore I hope to send presently, so soon as I shall see how it will go with me. But I trust in the Lord that I also myself shall come shortly. Yet I supposed it necessary to send to you Epaphroditus, my brother and companion in labour, and fellow soldier, but your messenger, and he that ministered to my wants. For he longer after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been sick. For indeed he was sick nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow. I sent him therefore the more carefully, that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and that I may be the less sorrowful. Receive him therefore in the Lord with all gladness; and hold such in reputation: because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me.
These verse's I find to be the most needed in today's time, now with this study I'm only going over 1-11, If i was to write up my study on the whole chapter I wouldn't have time to finish other things today.
First Point: God's love and work in the Christian: verse 1
Second Point: The Fulfilling of that love: verse's 2-5
Third Point: Example of Christ doing the same and showing how we are to be: verse's 5-11
Ok so look to verse 1 again: If there be therefore any consolation in Christ, if any comfort of love, if any fellowship of the spirit, in any bowels and mercies.
In this verse is written the terms, If you are a christian you should have these things, the Consolation in Christ, the comfort of Love, the fellowship of the spirit, the bowels and mercies. For those who don't know of the meaning where it says bowels: it means figuratively pity or sympathy, inward affection, tender mercy.
For those reading this if you don't have these things in your life you better check up. The Bible states that those who Love him will obey his commandments, and those who obey his commandments are in fellowship with him, and as verse 13 states: For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure. He will teach you during your times of fellowship. and the Bible also states that we are to pray without ceasing, rejoice evermore. so those right with God will have that fellowship all day long! all life long! Colossians 3:16 says Let the word of Christ dwell in your richly in all wisdom: teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. Each of these things listed in verse 1 of Philippians 2 are graces from God, Colossians 1:23 and 27 says: verse 23: If ye continue in the faith grounded and settled, and be not moved away from the hope of the gospel, which ye have heard, and which was preached to every creature which is under heaven; whereof I Paul am made a minister. verse 27: To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory of this mystery among the gentiles; which is Christ in you, the hope of glory: And to confirm to everyones mind read verse 16-17 as well: For by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were create by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. A word to those Christian's hold fast the faith, keep your first love, don't deny his name.
Now on to the second point Verse's 2-5: Fulfill ye my joy, that ye be likeminded, having the same love, being of one accord of one mind. Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory; but in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better than themselves. Look not every man on his own things, but every man also on the things of others. Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
How many of us Christian's today are likeminded? how many of us have the same love? how many are according to one mind? How many of us Let nothing be done through strife or vainglory? How many of us in lowliness of mind let each esteem other better then themselves? How many of us Look not on our own things? and on the things of others? LET this mind be in you which is also in Christ Jesus. I think just about everyone of us (including me) has somewhere failed in this list. Be honest with yourselves, search your hearts, pray to God to search your heart. Remember Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ Jesus which strengtheneth me. Your not alone in Life. Don't think these things are impossible, for in Christ all things are possible. So stand in faith believing his Word, Go forward and obey these things written.
And while you go about doing these things, Don't look at failures as huge loss's because satan will use it to pull you down, Remember its God that gently leads, its satan drives us to do things, and he will drive you right into depression. Look to the cross, Look to the blood that was split for unworthy sinners as your self. Remember God never lies. all His promises have come true. Read verse 5 again, Let this mind be in you, which was *also* in Christ Jesus. so read the gospels, read of his faithfulness, the Holy Son of God, who humbled himself to the cross.
Which brings us to the last point, Verse's 5-11: Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus. Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant and was made in likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross. Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth; And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
First I'd like to look at what kind of God we are talking about. The one and only God, in which there is none other, He who has no ears hears all, who with no eyes sees all, with no body knows and guides each one of us with his arm, and his in hands he holds us and keeps us. He who made the world and preordained everything to happen in this world from beginning to end, for every single life, every single thought and word and deed. He who has the wisdom to know what each one of us needs and to hold each of his sheep away from those of the world and those false teachers, gainsayers and scoffers. He who sent his only begotten Son to come and die for a world that isn't even worthy to call his name. Who kept his Word written and safe for 6000+ years and still has a place and a work to do through it, who knew all along what words that needed to be kept, who saw each of our needs before all the world was created, before time even was. That thrice Holy God is who we serve, and are to live for with all our heart soul and mind and very being, to do all things whole heartily as unto Him, that none of his grace would be taken for granted, that His name would be proclaimed through each of our lives. as the King and ruler of all the earth and heavens. He it is who sent His Son, that Son who obeyed and humbled himself even to the cross, for such wretched sinners as our selves. So that God's name would be exalted, and because of that God's son was exalted and his Name put above all other. And that through him that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
To think that Christ would become a man! to have the likeness to sinful being as us, to lower himself from the throne of Glory to this sin filled world. To die for US. WOW....
What more can I say.... I think I'll let Jesus do the rest of the teaching from these verse's. I pray that each of your lives would be turned from sin unto Him. That you purpose to serve him in all aspects of your life, to be as holy as holy can be.
Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called the sons of God. These things write I that ye sin not, and if any man sin. we have a advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen.

Over View
Hello everyone once again, my apologies for the lack of written words on this blog, I haven't been the best health wise or have had other things on my mind and things to do or get done. anyway I plan on writing more on here.
Pretty soon I will have a new study that I'm working on written on here. I can think of many but I like to leave some ideas for backup in case asked to speak at youth-group. I haven't had much on the poems to my mind of late so I'm hoping God brings more to my mind to write up.
Since I've written last, I've had many ups and downs but over all the greatest victory so far in my christian life, I've gotten over and cleaned up a sin that has been bothering my mind and making it more worldly. I praise God for those he placed to help me through that, as well as those teachers and pastors who helped me with services even tho they didn't know it while they preached. I've since then been having more and more victory over each sin, dealing with them, getting right with everyone. reading my Bible more, praying more often, and for longer periods of time. Each and every day I've got some hymn or scripture song going through my head. Verse's reminding me of God's love and his commandments that I not take his Love and mercy for granted. God's brought more times where my knowledge has been put to use in helping others. I can only pray that for all that knowledge I have, that I will also hold to the wisdom my self. Live what I say. Even tho this cold has still been bothering me, the physical asthma, I'm still holding up and God is still giving my the grace to go through each day rejoicing.
I have been praying a good bit on the future, for where I should go, what teaching should I go for, what jobs would I do, and what kind of life I'm leading for others as an example. I only pray that through my life and example other will learn, and realize its better to listen to example and learn, then learn by experience and have the thoughts haunt you the rest of your life.
A Christian Home
O give us homes built firm upon the Saviour,
Where Christ is Head, and Counsellor and Guide;
Where ev'ry child is taught His love and favor
And gives his heart to Christ, the crucified:
How sweet to know that tho' his footsteps waver
His faithful Lord is walking by his side!
O give us homes with godly fathers, mothers,
Who always place their hope and trust in Him;
Whose tender patience turmoil never bothers,
Whose calm and courage trouble cannot dim;
A home where each finds joy in serving others,
And love still shines, tho' days be dark and grim.
O give us homes where Christ is Lord and Master,
The Bible read, the precious hymns still sung;
Where prayer comes first in peace or in disaster,
And praise is natural speech to ev'ry tongue;
Where mountains move before a faith that's vaster,
And Christ sufficient is for old and young.
O Lord, our God, our homes are Thine forever!
We trust to Thee their problems, toil, and care;
Their bonds of love no enemy can sever
If Thou art always Lord and Master there:
Be Thou the center of our least endeavor:
Be Thou our Guest, our hearts and homes to share.
I am very happy to say, That I am what I am through the grace of God.
Pretty soon I will have a new study that I'm working on written on here. I can think of many but I like to leave some ideas for backup in case asked to speak at youth-group. I haven't had much on the poems to my mind of late so I'm hoping God brings more to my mind to write up.

Each and every day I've got some hymn or scripture song going through my head. Verse's reminding me of God's love and his commandments that I not take his Love and mercy for granted. God's brought more times where my knowledge has been put to use in helping others. I can only pray that for all that knowledge I have, that I will also hold to the wisdom my self. Live what I say. Even tho this cold has still been bothering me, the physical asthma, I'm still holding up and God is still giving my the grace to go through each day rejoicing.
I have been praying a good bit on the future, for where I should go, what teaching should I go for, what jobs would I do, and what kind of life I'm leading for others as an example. I only pray that through my life and example other will learn, and realize its better to listen to example and learn, then learn by experience and have the thoughts haunt you the rest of your life.
A Christian Home
O give us homes built firm upon the Saviour,
Where Christ is Head, and Counsellor and Guide;
Where ev'ry child is taught His love and favor
And gives his heart to Christ, the crucified:
How sweet to know that tho' his footsteps waver
His faithful Lord is walking by his side!
O give us homes with godly fathers, mothers,
Who always place their hope and trust in Him;
Whose tender patience turmoil never bothers,
Whose calm and courage trouble cannot dim;
A home where each finds joy in serving others,
And love still shines, tho' days be dark and grim.
O give us homes where Christ is Lord and Master,
The Bible read, the precious hymns still sung;
Where prayer comes first in peace or in disaster,
And praise is natural speech to ev'ry tongue;
Where mountains move before a faith that's vaster,
And Christ sufficient is for old and young.
O Lord, our God, our homes are Thine forever!
We trust to Thee their problems, toil, and care;
Their bonds of love no enemy can sever
If Thou art always Lord and Master there:
Be Thou the center of our least endeavor:
Be Thou our Guest, our hearts and homes to share.
I am very happy to say, That I am what I am through the grace of God.

New Study
There is neither any Rock like our God
Ezekiel 6:1-14
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, set thy face toward the mountains of Israel, and prophesy against them, And say, Ye mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord God; Thus saith the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the rivers, and to the valleys; Behold, I, even I, will bring a sword upon you, and I will destroy your high places. And your altars shall be desolate, and your images shall be broken: and I will cast down your slain men before your idols. And I will lay the dead carcasses of the children of Israel before their idols: and I will scatter your bones round about altars. In all your dwelling places the cities shall be laid waste, and the high places shall be desolate; that your altars may be laid waste and made desolate, and your idols may be broken and cease, and your images may be cut down, and your works may be abolished. And the slain shall fall in the midst of your, and ye shall know that I am the LORD. Yet will I leave a remnant, that ye may have some that shall escape the sword among the nations, when ye shall be scattered throught the countries. And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall lothe them selves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations. And they shall know that I am the LORD, and that I have not said in vain that I would do this evil unto them. Thus saith the Lord God; Smite with thine hand, and stamp with thy foot, and say alas for all the evil abominations of the houses of Israel! for they shall fall by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence. He that is far off shall die of pestilence; and he that is near shall fall by the sword and he that remaineth and is besieged shall die by the famine: thus will I accomplish my fury upon them. Then shall ye know that I am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer sweet savour to all their idols. So will I stretch out my hand upon them, and make the land desolate, yea, more desolate then the wilderness toward Diblath, in all their habitations: and they shall know that I am the LORD.
A great many times, the phase comes up. and they will know that I am the LORD. Also all threw out the Old testament this phase comes up. The Jews know what he meant when that was said. That meant The One True God, all powerful, all knowing, is in charge. Not them. God isn't like any other gods or those we think up. Psalm 96: 4-8 tells us that gods are just Idols. that have eyes but see not, that have ears, but hear not, that are useless to everyone. God on the other hand, has no eyes, but sees all, has no ears but hears all, has no body and is everywhere, has no head but wears the Crown, has no legs but sits on a throne. Nobody is like our God. No other god has kept there people threw each struggle, who has righteously judged his people, kept his Word. neither has he removed them from the World, he's protecting them keeping them threw his power. And this passage I just wrote clearly tells us that he is just, he is holy, he is not going to tolerate sin. Also says there that he is going to keep a remnant of his people for the last day, when he will bring Jerusalem back together and set up his kingdom.
Well lets go to psalm 100:1-5
Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands. Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing. Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are this people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.
There's so much written there in such a little chapter about the LORD. Make a Joyful noise, Serve the Lord with gladness: We are to sing unto him, giving praise ever, as it says in 1 Thessalonians 5:16, Rejoice EVERMORE, pray WITHOUT ceasing, in EVERYTHING give thanks. and also note at the end of it, ALL ye lands everyone everywhere is called to praise him. Because he is Holy, He is Just, and as we will see later on his other works.
Then the Next point: Know ye that the LORD He IS GOD it is He that has made us and not we our selves; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture. Right there should tell us all Christians, that he deserves all honour, all praise, all glory. In Revelation 4:11 Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created. and also chapter 5:12-13b saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power and riches and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and blessing. Blessing and honour and glory and power be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb for ever and ever. So we see that God is worthy, and that HE is the LORD.
For the LORD is good; and his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations: that right there also states that he is and has and always will be in charge of the world, and everything that happens in it. His word stands and will always be true, to all generations. so we know that the same God that kept his people, and kept his nation, is still today with love and mercy watching over us
Here in these chapters is written each thing that the Jews knew to be true, and yet turned from him, what are you Christian, who has a better way and understanding then that of the Jews had, going to spend your life. will you also turn away, or go fully after him as the psalmist did, and love him with all your heart soul and mind.
