Bloggers everywhere I'm sure are ashamed of me especially Adam and Whipple in my ineptness to keep my blog current and up to date.
Tomorrow will essentially mark my final week working for Marble Slab @ Turkey Creek. It has been a good job but not without its frustrations and stresses. From there I look forward towards Wake Forest and Southeastern. At least I keep telling myself that hoping to convince myself if not already there. I do admit a little amount of trepidation but I just remember my first year at Carson-Newman and how I sat in my room and cried feeling like I was all alone in the world. Which brings me to my next point. Today I heard probably the best sermon that I have heard in a long long time. It was given in earnest by our upcoming Pastor Phillip Martin who eventually will fill the pulpit of Concord when Dr. Sager finally steps down. The words pierced my heart like a like an arrow and literally slapped me in the face at the same time.
sitting there in that room it finally made sense why I was so worried about moving here in a couple of weeks. My dependency was on myself and and not fully on God. I had it in me that I could do it myself. Like so many times before and this seems to be a lesson that God and I seem to revert back to is that I need him and apart from Him I can do nothing.
If you have some free time this week or even after reading this go and listen and or watch this sermon and see if it doesn't touch you in the same way it did me. Maybe it will or maybe God has a different word for wrapped up in it. God says some many things to some many people just through one message I've come to learn in 24 years of life.

no one is ashamed of ya, bro! you'll have much more fodder to post about once you start the new school year...
You do know that you'll have to give me your snail mail address for school. As cool as email is, I'm a bigger fan of letters.
I'm ashamed of you. You once told me you were able to fly. Liar.
