This southerner HATES modern country music, so don't get sucked into that one. Sweet tea is mandantory. Don't EVER complain about the tea being sweet. You will NOT minister to those people. Ever. :) Brent's obviously already owned a good 4x4, so that's not really a thing for you, I guess.
You and Jamie continue to rock my world, bro. Seriously. I'm sick of perfect Christians. Not that we shouldn't want to be, but just that I don't think anybody is, and yet some act like they are. Thanks for admitting that "authentic" isn't really something to brag about.
Y'all looked awful prim and proper in them thar days.
Pretty darn sure that I'm NOT as satisfied as I should be. Period. But I can't decide exactly how satisfied I should be. I think there's a part of existence that we SHOULD be satisfied with, and a part that we should always seek for excellence, or at least for growth and improvement. Otherwise we sit on the couch and eat Twinkies all the time.
Ouch. Be strong. I'm sorry.
While I know tats are more "memorialish" and I really recognize the significance of what you guys are doing, I'm just not a tat person and I'm curious if there might be some other ways we could "unite" on this as well.
I'm a sticker dude :) If I had tats, I'd probably have a lot. My Bible is covered with some totally inane and useless stickers. I consider it personal and public in the same way many do tats.
I like the "fight club in the youth room" idea.
VWM, EC, and GSP. Cool.
Enjoy being a teen. Don't freak out about what you have to be as an adult. Plan for it to a certain exten, work toward it as you have opportunity, and always give it your best shot, but don't let it ruin your life. You'll be old soon enough. Some people will tell you that you need to find God's will for your life just as early as possible. I say bullcrap. Just live God's will for today - Love God, Love People, and take the opportunities as God brings them to you. He's not going to tell you tomorrow what you're supposed to do when you're 40, or who you're supposed to marry, or where you're going to work when you're 22. Every day is a forked road. Follow Him. Daily. If you live your best for God every day, 20 years from now just comes naturally.
