| Today I found a cd that has a bunch of emails and aim conversations saved on it from a few years ago. Naturally I started to go through them and judge my former self based on what I said. It seems as if 6 years ago life was simplier and maybe I was a happier person. But, that earlier version of myself didn't have what I have now, experience. I can't say that I've experienced my life for the past 6 years without disappointment or even regret. I'll even go as far as to say that if I had the chance to go back and do things differently, I would. However, I can't change the past. The real question to ask is this...What would the 2003 version of Jon think of the 2009 version? Would that more innocent Jon be happy with where I am now and with who I've become? At the very least I know this...in 2003 I had no idea that I'd be where I am. But you can't go farther
Than my heart can go
Cause I'll still be here for you
Through the sadness and the madness here
And I'll always be with you
In the distance
That has taken you
From me | | |
| All of a sudden...its not ok anymore. I wish I could, but I don't
Always keep the promises I've kept
I wish I could, but I can't
Always give whatever I have left
And now its all so clear
Doesn't anyone see whats happening here?
It falls apart from the very start
It falls apart
Seems like everything I touch falls apart
Everything around me falls apart
When I walk away from you
When I walk away from you

| This might just be the best album ever made, definitely P.O.D.'s best. I know I'm gonna regret still being awake at quarter after 1 because in the morning I am driving down to Hilton Head, South Carolina for work. I'm gonna be there til next Friday  . I'm pretty excited to get away for a week, even if I have to work. On the sad side, I will miss 2 softball games next week and youth this Sunday, but I guess I have to make sacrifices to be on the beach  . The following Sunday I will be at youth and I'll be preaching and leading worship, so hopefully I'll have some free time to prepare for that. I guess thats all the big news I have at the moment. I could probably tell a ton of stories that no one but myself would find funny, so I won't bother at 1:35 a.m.
"So why don't you come with me
And take a trip to the other side?
Where you and I, we can sing, we can fly
We can dance as the stars go by
And the heavens will open up
With a vision inside 'Jah love
The earth, and the moon, and the sun will align
With a voice from the sky above
One love
So come on and shine with me
Like the beautiful star you are.
So come on and shine with me
Shine with me."

| Today I discovered a new pet peeve. I hate when I go to a store and they ask me if I need help. Today I went into radio shack and i walked right by the lady that was working, hoping she wouldn't ask me if I needed assistance. I tried so hard to make it look like I wanted to be on my own in the store. I even avoided eye contact. But she still asked me and I said "nope, I'm good." So the usual, boring "I'll be right over here if you need anything," statement was used and I got on with my business. I went to look at the cables and all the adapters and was looking for what I needed, because I get a sense of accomplishment when I go in a store and find what I need by myself. I looked for 2 minutes and the lady came over to me again and asked me if I needed assistance. New pet peeve number 2...asking me if I need assistance a second time after I already said "no." At this point I had 2 cables in my hand and said "no, I'm done," and I was looking for something else, but I checked out real quick to end my relationship with the store. So then I figured I'd go to best buy and look for what I needed there. So what do you know, I was asked if I needed assistance. If you're thinking the story ends with me leaving best buy with nothing, you are correct.
Moral of the story is this...if I need help at a store, I'll ask.
I am pretty excited for tomorrow. I'm leading worship and speaking for the youth group tomorrow night. Definitely looking forward to it.

| I have a thought to share...
I have always thought/said/been convinced that I want everything to be simple. Simple is easy, its effortless, its perfect. Or is it? Simple is boring! Simple is the same old day in and day out. I'm not made to do that. Forget you simple...I'm looking for a complication. Complications are what get me through the day and give me stories to tell. I'll take complicated, I want complicated, I thrive in complicated.
...thats my thought of the day.
"When the storm is raging all around me
You are the peace that calms
My troubled sea
And the cares of this world
Darken my day
You are the light that shines
And shows me the way
Oh, the beauty of Your majesty
On the cross You showed Your love for me!
Beautiful Lord
Awesome and mighty
I’m captured by this love I see
Beautiful Lord
Tender and holy
Your mercy brings me to my knees
It’s Your mercy that has made me free
Beautiful Lord
When my sin is all that I can see
Your grace remains the shelter that I seek
And when my weakness is all I can give
Your gentle Spirit gives me strength again
And oh, the beauty of Your majesty
On the cross You showed Your love for me
And I am lifted by Your love to sing!
It’s Your mercy that has made me free!"
