| heres a thought... u lose the important people in your life that imapct u so much....what do u do, where do u turn? that is something i am learning and trying to help a good friend through right now. without Pastor Comings, i do not know where i'd turn for Godly male advice. Without Jeremy at school, i dont know how i would be able to laugh everyday and enjoy going to a secualor school with a Christian friend. Without kat or michelle evington, i wouldnt have some of the coolest ladies that cared the world for a guy like me. without micah, i'd be bored. without phill this summer, i could not have understood my meaning at camp. see, we all have people we are led to, to gain insight and adivce, or just relief. the thing is, we need to learn from God how to get through day to day, whatever way he wants us to. God places people in our lives that impact us, we just need to let them in. These people dont even have to be believers, they can still impact your life. Thats the power and amazement of God. As Pastor would say, develop a circle of friends that will come around u to encourage and help u. I am thankful for that man's insight and investment. just think of the ppl in your life and be prepared to lose them at anytime and know that God will get you through, no matter what.

| Have you ever stopped and realized how much noise there is? I am not saying cut out all the silence in our world, but I am saying, there has to be a way to walk through it without so much noise. I sit and think about that for myself. Can I honestly get through an entire day without some kind of music... of course not. Being so hyper cause of ADD, it is almost impossible, but that is not what I am discussing here anyways. My thought, is there anyway we can get through a day without being tempted to "look on the other side of the line," as Pastor would say. I think there is a way, not easy, but there is a way. We constantly keep hearing "oh come do this" or "oh this is a good idea, wanna try it?" Well here is the problem I see with me. Most of my friends are from the secual mindset and well, they drink or do drugs, or one of those wonderful other things out there, so it is naturally a problem when it comes to having fun or hanging out. I have found a solution for the problem. Be hoenst. Simple as that. Do not need to preach at people, just have a good reason for them. Most people I do not think are going to suck you into a life style that is so wrong. For me, my real reason is that my family has a histroy of alcholoism and drug problems. So basically if i start something, I can not, not become addicted to it. It bothers me cause I want to get to know new faces at school, since alot of my friends are off to school elsewhere. So it becomes a struggle when you want to spend time with these new people, but know that bad thigns could happen or that it is just not good for you to be there. Make sense? So what does this all have to do with my title? Well, walking in silence while there is so much noise means being able to control the noise. You can never stop it, but you can control how much you allow based upon the response you give to people. It is just one of those wonderful thought processes I have had in the last few days

| I do not know if anyone reads titles of blogs, but mine is entitled "A Man of Thought." So with that in mind, I will let the pen (in this case, blank lines on the screen) do the speaking. I have been learning many things that I personally do not understand and yet, there some things I am amazed by. This would all explain the change in my display picture (very intellectual, I know). In regards to the I am learning yet, do not understand, let me explain my situational circumstances. Since I attend a secular university, that would give a hint of an arrising issue. The mindset of an unbeliever in regards to the way we think and process things is just mind boggling. Not saying that I hate the indiviuals out there that think so differently, I just do not understand why sometimes they come to suggest that my way of thinking and processing is so bias and wrong, while they have such a theory based and unsure way of thinking where almost anything is possible, but not logical. Confussed? I sure am myself. Currently, I am taking a sociology class with an interesting lady. Her name will not be mentioned because I do not agree with public criticism of a professor, right or wrong. Anyways, I need to look at things in a different light or mindset, which for me or any believer, is a struggle sometimes. It is such a wake-up call that there is a lot of messed up sin out there that sucks you into so many nasty things. I can not even express how thankful I am that God allowed me to grow up in America with a Christian family! In the minds of a sociologists, that is a situation I was put into and influenced by the people around me and that I was never given a chance to explore for myself the things out there. Basically, I was not allowed to think and believe the way I wanted to without family or pressures. But the thing I have realized more then ever now is that, I HAVE HAD THE CHANCE TO WALK IF I WANTED TO!! If I truly did not believe the Bible was sound doctrine and that God was not real in my life or at all, I would not be here writing and I would be out on my own doing whatever. God has affected my life so significantly, I do not know what I would be doing if I did not chose the path to follow him. Sure the things of eternity are so mind boggling and scary because I am the type of person that needs to understand everything, but God has NEVER forsaken me or set me up for something that would harm me permenatly without a purpose. That is the basicness to what I feel God is doing with a single Christian guy in a secular college. Now, that might sound oh so depressing that I am going through hell and mind problems with college, but it is not. It is tough at first, but God never loses, and I do not either. I am of course spider-man/ sir nicholas the brave, so I take my sword of God to slay the mighest of satan dragons and come out not clean, but dirty with the blood victory for Christ. How awesome is that!?!? It is really early in the morning, but I am not tired and writing crazy. God is simply that amazing and I want everyone that ever has unsurity to know that God will never fail, even if the world falls. Just remember 2 Corinthians 4. Read it sometime. Pray sometime. Get to know your father and he will impact you so much. Stay strong boys and girls

| hey all....so lets get a lil updater thinga ma bob going hur. yeah, i love the spelling, its just simply AMAZING !!!! school starts next week for me, so thats not tooo terrible, a bit scary though . good thing is, i am not going to be alone. a bunch of high school friends are going, so i will hopefully see them there.
ON AN EVEN BRIGHTER side of thangs, i spent most of my day with a lovely young lady and her family. that definetly made my day! getting to know someone's family actually isnt that bad at all. I overly enjoyed myself with the family, even though getting to know the parents is kinda like *gasp* crap, what to say. But hey, getting to know them and talking to them.... its rather enjoyable, even if there are alot of em. God is good, let me tell u that!!!!!
anyways, take care everyone
