Interests: My one true love is fishing. Anything outdoors is fun to do; like camping or sports or hunting. I love it all. Soccer, Baseball, Football, Tennis, Fishing are all fun. I aslo like to play the bass or just simple anything to do with music. Oh, and, of course, P.O.D. is the absolute best band ever! Did I mention Fishing? I always love doing stupid things that will probably result in injury, for example, white-water rafting on a kiddie pool or skateboarding with a grocery cart. Speaking of skateboarding, I love snowboarding. This is my second favorite recreational thing to do. But now that we have recreation out of the way, I should tell you that that I love my friend, Jesus. I love talking to him and being around him in his presence. He is why I do all the thngs I do like playing the bass. I do them to glorify and praise his name. Jesus is the bestest friend in the world! ... to say the least !

Greetings and Salutations,

     Today, I completely changed my bass. I replaced the white pickguard with a black pearloid pickguard. Then I remove the stickers and replaced the pickguard screws. I also put a thumbrest on it.

     Anyways, while I was doing all this stuff to my bass, I remembered when Alex made me take a picture with one of my basses standing beside my car. He thought it was funny that my bass matched my car but if he thought that was funny, he'll think this picture is hilarious.

A to B: Life

I've been studying in 2 Kings lately and I came across the story of Naaman being healed of Leprosy in Chapter 5 and I thought that there was a good lesson to learn from Gehazi's downfall, so I wrote this peom about him. Enjoy!

 

 Gehazi

By: Me

I am the servant of Elisha,
The greatest prophet of his day.
He was the student of Elijah,
Until God carried him away.

I’d hoped to follow in his footsteps,
To be a great prophet as well.
But then, in a moment of weakness,
I condemned myself to this hell.

Naaman was a Syrian captain,
Known for his battle strategy.
He was a mighty man of valor,
But afflicted with leprosy.

One day he came to my master’s door,
For he’d heard of his expertise.
The king of Israel told of it,
Saying: “He can cure your disease.”

He was told to wash in the Jordan,
Which incensed the captain to wrath.
Were there no better waters than this
In which Naaman could take his bath?

But his servants convinced him to try,
They said he had nothing to lose.
If there was a chance he could be cured,
It would be foolish to refuse.

So he did as Elisha told him,
And his malady disappeared.
He promised the God of Israel
Would, from that day on, be revered.

He wanted to reward my master,
But Elisha would not accept.
So I set out to claim the reward,
Which I believed he should have kept.

I asked for a talent of silver,
And two garments that I could wear.
But he gave me two silver talents,
Though somehow my lord was aware.

I was summoned before Elisha,
And he announced his prophecy.
Since I sought what belonged to Naaman,
I was cursed with his leprosy!

And so I am now thus afflicted,
For coveting earthly reward,
Instead of the spiritual gifts,
Received by those who seek the Lord.

Let my tale serve as a reminder,
For greed exacts a heavy toll.
What good is it to gain a kingdom,
If you lose your immortal soul?

 

 

If you have time, you might enjoy reading 2 Kings 5.

Catch for Us the Foxes

    Hey Guys. I've been trying to resist this Xanga craze but I just can't resist any longer. So, I guess I'm actually going to start to post. I'm going to occasionally post spectacles like pictures, cartoons, and personal poetry but I'm afraid that writing about my day takes way too much time and, I would imagine, would be severely boring to read. So..., with that in mind, enjoy this cartoon.
