For those of you out there that actually read this thing, I bet you thought the day would never come when I actually updated this stupid thing.  So much has happened in the last... however long it has been.  Life is moving by at a whirlwind pace and all I can say is it's incredible, and I wish it were so much more.  I am learning new things each and everyday, the people in my life challenge me, shape me, and continue to make me an ever better person.

I've been several places since the last post, seen many faces.  Some I'll remember for a lifetime, some I've forgotten in a flash, some I'll remember as a flash of light. Such is life. Just know that if I've met you, you've had an impact on me. And hopefully if you've met me, I've had an impact on you (please let it be a good one.)

The most exciting thing is how God reveals himself to me in the relationships I experience.  I'm learning to be evermore like Christ, to listen better, to care more, to live prayer, and to be transparent.  Obviously I'm still human and can't really get around that. So I am sorry to those to whom I have fallen short, please forgive me.

There is so much to say, so just ask me and I'll do what I can to tell you about the love I experience through you and through Christ each day.

Okay, so I'm actually making more than one post.  Today was a pretty good day, and church was amazing.  We're doing a study of the Sermon on the Mount...I guess you could call it the greatest sermon by the greatest preacher.  It's hard to believe how much is given to us in so few words.  For the next few weeks I intend on digging really deep into God's lessons for us.  It goes so much deeper than just the words on the paper. The underlying themes and big picture really show God's truth, love, and grace.  It's promises to be an exciting time.

In other news...um yeah, nothing really compares.

much love
