Hopefully within the next month Walk for the Lord will have another author contributing! I wont say much more about it then that just in case it doesnt work out, but it should bring a whole new dimension to the blog!

Ive been home since Wednesday night, and its extremely good to be back. God has really been working wonders and miracles at my house and new relationships between my siblings and parents have really started to flourish, all because of my almighty Father.

I have been having some discontent recently. Its an unrest inside of me... recently I renewed a World of Warcraft subscription to play along with some friends who have been playing it since Ive been in college. Since then I really feel discontent, within me. I almost want to say its within my soul. I dont know if its God telling me not to do this, to stand out and to press into Him, and not to press into video games. One of my thoughts to try and make myself feel better about renewing the $15.99 (I believe) monthly subscription to the game was that it would allow me to connect to my friends again and quicker, so I could share my new life with Christ with them, and the gospel. Somehow, the method (or you could say path) Ive chosen to present them with it doesnt seem quite right.

Theres also another situation. Theres a certain role playing activity that a lot of my old high school friends and I used to play. Its really one of the only things that will really allow us to reconnect and even one of the fewer things that will bring us all back together to hang out with each other over the summer for one purpose. In my new life, I feel like this game is ... wrong. I dont know if I would call it satanic, but its extremely secular and isnt Christian at all. My problem is wanting to connect with my friends and show them my "new" life at the same time, without being turned back into my old self.

I dont want to be forced into sin attempting to show them the Truth.

Anyone have any thoughts? They would be a major help!

The Lord is leading me down some interesting trials recently. Ive lost a good friend (not a death, just in case it comes across like that) and it seems like its a struggle to get through a single day without Satan attacking me emotionally. Ive learned and pressed into God with renewed vigor and strength throughout the trials that I am going through, God is the only thing that is never changing in this lifetime. God never changes: he always loves us unconditionally and much more then we can ever grasp.

Its such an amazing feeling to come back from working on projects and studying at 2 or 3 AM and put praise music on and start worshiping the Lord. If you let him, God will always refresh you beyond what you can ever imagine. When you worship and pour your heart out to the Lord you cant help but go to bed with an immense smile on your face.

Sometimes I wish I could drop all of my studies and all the work I am doing at college to devote all my time to God. When I really think about it I realize that I have to first put my priorities straight; whenever I get my work done I feel so refreshed and so good because God placed me where I am right now, and that is college. I have the feeling that if I pursued the thought of leaving my studies to devote myself toward God I wouldnt be as blessed, God wouldnt bless me and I wouldnt grow since I was veering off the path He has set for me now.

I am leaving college in a week, it will be the end of my first year. I have grown so much over this first year. I have discovered God and He has moved me in more incredible ways then I could ever imagine. When I am home I pray to be a light in the darkness, I pray that I will be the torch bearer in my family. I know I will be!

Over the summer I should be recording what is happening more frequently so I can keep friends in the loop!

Its around 2:45 AM and Im on the verge of exhaustion. Im swimming in coffee and tea, but I did all the work that I really wanted to get done for tonight. Tomorrow will be another late night!

Is marketing inherently manipulative, superficial, annoying, and therefore evil? Or can churches and Christian ministries do marketing in honest way to communicate the opportunities they provide to connect with God and grow spiritually?

This past Sunday, April 27, was Internet Evangelism Day. My question this week is, did anyone actually do anything for IED or is it just something people like to talk about? I was encouraged to find a several stories about IED activities.

It amazes me time and time again when I stop to think about it. Right now I am sitting in the college cafeteria typing on a laptop. People are all around doing different things. Some are eating food with friends, and some are eating food alone. Some arent eating but just having conversations. Some people are purchasing their food. Some people are walking through the cafeteria to get to where they have to go. Some people are going up the stairs, and some people are going down. Some people are heading outside and some people are coming inside. There is a mass of people walking left, right, sideways, every which way outside to get to the destination they have planned in their minds.

This is just a tiny spot in the earth. People are doing this and so much more all over the world. People are worshiping God, miracles are taking place. Sins are currently taking place and people are doing things they will regret for the rest of their lives. People are striking it rich, and people are loosing their last cent; at this VERY moment. People are giving birth to new precious life at this very moment that only God knows what is in store for that soul. At the same time many, many people are dieing at this VERY moment.

So many things are happening at this moment, while I am just sitting here typing on a laptop to you. What emotions do you have when you read that? Do you get angry? Sad? Do you just not care? Do you want to be out in the world, changing something horrible that is going on?

Recently God has placed in me a drive to get out there and change the world. I CAN CHANGE THE WORLD. Not by myself, but with God backing me up I can do practically anything if it complies with His word. One of those songs is March Out, By Fort Pastor. I highly recommend that you take some time to listen to it. I find myself starting my morning off by listening to this song, playing it over and over again and dancing around my dorm room. Then when the day is winding down I usually play it again; and it gives me that same rush. The same God given urge to get out there and change the world...

I have a feature on my computer that lets me see what the National Geographic photograph of the day is. Today the photograph really spoke to me. I wanted to share it:

The caption at the bottom of the picture from National Geographic states:

"Nearly 2,000 years ago, the Colosseum was built to host gladiator duels, battle reenactments, and other public spectacles. Now, the 50,000-seat stone-and-concrete amphitheater serves Rome in another capacity: as a traffic circle."
