update...

so i had to check my myspace page to see the last time i had written a blog...

april 18, 2008. wow! time sure does fly!

i sit here thinking of all that's changed in the last year...

so many ups and so many downs...

the biggest up being i asked lisa to marry me and she accepted! we're right in the middle of all the planning necessary to have that wonderful half hour ceremony and an awesome reception afterward.

the second biggest up is that i started school again. it had been too long since i had been in and i need to finish. so in october i hopped on board with the aspire program offered through bryan college. in january i will officially be a college graduate!

too many downs to mention... luckily the sum of them do not even begin to measure up or outweight the first up muchless the sum of all of them.

my faith has taken an interesting journey as well... i will finish up with my favorite quote in regards to faith...

"I am beginning to understand that faith is not the way around pain, it is the way through pain. Faith doesn't get rid of the opposition, it invites it over for dinner. Faith doesn't give you the winning point at the last second, it ties the game and sends you into overtime. Faith doesn't give you the solution, it forces you to find it."
- Mike Yaconelli

peace and grace...
