03/02/2011 I may have a little problem

        Man keeping a consistent blog is going to be a lot harder than I thought.  I had plans of writing a blog that was about my addiction to hillsong or maybe talk about my recent trip to China.  But I feel like there are far to many people that  put useless information on the internet.  Like I said before I want this blog to have purpose.  Lately I've been thinking about The best month of my life.  I spent this month with two of the most legit people this world has yet to know.  We spent the first 2 weeks at Castaway camp in Minnesota I rocked it up while my boys did maintenance and landscaping.  After meeting a ton of really cool people we were back on the road for what was cut out to be a great growing experience.  We did a bible study through James.  Picked tactfully by the one and only Jim Bjork.  He knew exactly what we needed to hear.  All of this came to a peak while we were sitting on the rim of the Grand Canyon watching the sun set.  We were talking about the fact that we had been living one way and saying we should live differently.  To the world or a lot of our other friends it didn't seem like anything was wrong but we knew we had a problem.  See we had a problem of the mouth.  Sarcasm, joking, or just generally harassing each other.  To most guys that just seems like good fun and a way that we can communicate but we knew that God had called us to a different standard.  I think all of us had been convicted when we had read James 3 in particular.  It talked about how not every one is called to be a leader because we are held to a higher standard.  All of us lead youth in some fashion or another.  A little later in the chapter James talks about the tongue.  With every verse It felt like he was just slapping us around.  So that evening we committed to living the way that God called us.  To hold ourselves to a higher standard.  I know that time and time again I still fail at keeping that higher standard as God has called me to.  But I know that every time I fail not only does God forgive me but Zach and Tim will be there for me.  All I have to do is give them a call or just shoot them a text and tell them whats up and they'll pray for me and be there to give me some wisdom.  With all that said I have also been given a great opportunity to talk about having a pure mouth next week so please be in prayer for me as I prepare to share with FUSION.

And I just give you a little Hillsong united action. A F T E R M A T H!!!!!
