So what about courent events, besides owens, and wanting to do something w/ the homeless? Jeff S. (heife) and I are probably going to go up to Toledo sometime though. Anyways, since I was back at BG I started out just being a Substitute personel at the Montessori School in BG. Then in the winter I was employed as a Substitute and an after school daycare worker. First I started with the 1-6 grades, but then some of the parents didn't like two male's working together (BS) (it was Aaron and I) in the same room, so I had to be moved to preschooler and K's aftercare. My favorite part about working at the montessori school is being a sub for the whole day. Not that I like people to be sick, but I really like to teach...especially with utensiles that I used when I was young.
Also when it came time for spring this year, I picked up another job at the Gold Star Pet Resort (I'll have to post a pick of these places sometime). Mostly letting the dogs in and out at night and working most shifts on the weekends. So that is what I am doing this summer, except I am working a whole lot more hours. Last week I worked about fifety hours, but this week I'm only working about twenty or less. It's kind of scrued up.
One thing that I have picked up is the trade of painting. I am kind of becoming an expert in painting. Last summer I painted a Doug F.'s house, (an older guy at the church) and this year I am painting one of the main hallways at the Montessori School.
Well i've got to go. I have a lot more to talk about, but if anyone reads this they are probably thinking, great! Thank God this guy had to go. I have a class on common childhood illnesses to go to. Carpooling is always fun!

Here is a dream I had when I must have been about 14 or 15. Can you find yourself in it?

Once there was a man who had an extra arm. This arm allowed him to do many things that normal people could not do. For this reason, he thought that he was god, so he made everyone bow down to worship him, and they did. Soon he became very rich. Then one day God said to the man with the extra arm, ”I have created you and gave you your gifts. I wanted to use you for a higher calling, but you have misused your gifts.” Then God struck the man that had the extra arm and he was destroyed, body and soul.

This is the primal sin, to seek to become like or greater than God, as Adam and Even did in Genesis. Or in other words put ourselves above God. How can His creation do such a thing though? He created everything with the word of His mouth. He alone deserves all the glory.

So I plan on going back to mv in one year but, that may not happen. There have been a lot of things on my mind lately. Especially one topic. The Homless...who are they, where did they come from, and what is God's place for them in the church. I had a chance last fall to go to a Youth Pastor's convention in Dallas, TX. While there, a friend of mine decided to bring in "Dimond" (or Greg) and feed him at Quiznos. I thought I'd better get in on that action because I saw JC working in action. Anyways, we got to know him, Byron, and Sally while there, and or more, we got to know there world. We never really found out there stories. I still think of them often. Sally and Greg were saved then, but Byron knew that he couldn't be saved because of his habbits. He was real with himself. We are often like sally and greg struggling with sin over and over, but believeing we are christians (which may be true). Others may see that they can't be christians because of their habits (which is not true). They need to be told what true grace is. Where are these people to be in the body of Christ? what is their function? Ok got to go take care of some doggies and then go to the church for "Friday Nights"

So it's again been a very very long time. In fact so long that some people may have thought that I dropped off the face of the earth. The reason why I am updating this is because there are certain people whom have not heard from me in a long time, and they may have heard some things about me that may or may not of been true, however radical the things that I may have done. So I want to set things straight. And if those certain people have not heart about my life in the past year, I would rather tell them voice to voice, but this may be the best for now. I will make this quick.
In the fall I will be going to owens community college for my second semester there. A year ago from this comming september I decided to drop out of MVNU. I was struggling academicly... Considerably bacause I was burnt out (from the ineffective medicine change in the previous semester) and because I did not plan out my semester that was fitting to the "me having ADHD and a HEAVY work load" combo. Soon my reasons for being there weren't the original reasons I had been there. My dorm room and even the library had become my hell.
I plan on going back to mvnu in a year and am currently planning out and restrategizing with two people. One is Bruce , my previous academic advisor, and the second is, Dr. Matthews, the academic aid councelor who also is an expert in adhd. well more later cuz I gotta go... sorry so abrupt and late.
