it's late tuesday night and new york is wide open. one of the girls on staff at the church we're working with said the city is about the size of DFW airport, and has about 1.8 million residents.

we've spent the mornings giving out granola bars on wall street, and the afternoons giving out gum. tomorrow we'll do a water project. the journey church is starting a new message series on sunday, so we're giving out cards with the granola, gum, and water. we've also done some clean up projects

in mark 4, Jesus tells the story of the guy casting the seed, some landing on good ground, some on bad ground, and some in between. i wonder if part of the application of the story is that we should not only scatter as much seed as we can, but that we should also do what we can to make more fertile soil. even hardened soil, with some tilling and such, could eventually produce a good crop. maybe we shoul think more about how we treat others than we do. maybe we can make thee soil more fertile by demonstrating God's love, no strings attached, every chance we get.

ok, this is my first real post, and i don't know what i'm doing - which seems to be the theme of my life lately.
yesterday my friend willie and i took about 8 or 9 teenagers to the NASCAR Speedpark. of course, i won all our races (just don't ask anybody else, cause they'll tell you i didn't).
what i'm really excited about is going to new york tommorow. 8 of us are going to do a mission trip with EPIC Adventures. i've never been to new york, but i imagine the people are laid back, extremely friendly, and love to drink sweet tea. i'm going to miss my wife and son while i'm gone, but i'll talk to them every day on the phone. if it's like the other trips i've had to make without them the past year, the day i get back will be among my best days ever.

if you want to know what to expect on this blog, look for a variety. the one topic i get into most is christianity. i've been following Christ seriously since i was 16, and it's not just a priority to me - it is who i am. other than that, i can be sarcastic at times, all in good humor, of course. so try not to read much emotion. i'm into sports, too; i like to read, watch movies, and listen to music.
well, that's about all i have for now. my next post will be from new york!

This is a My First post much more to come.
