Long Time No Blog

Well, it's been a while. The computer I usually blog on has gotten some kind of virus and google has quit working, which means that blogger has quit working. I've missed this. I guess I'll just write about what has happened since the last time I wrote.

The Quest
My dad gave me a task a few weeks ago that I've just now begun work on. He wants me to pick out five colleges that I'm interested in and get information on them. This has taken me forever (partially because I haven't really been as focused as I could have been). I have three or four but my favorite so far has been the University of Colorado at Boulder.

The Music
I've been playing guitar at church a lot lately, with the youth praise team and the choir. It has been so much fun! I may not be very good at it, but I absolutely love playing! I've been trying to write as much as I can but all I seem to be able to come up with is half-finished choruses. But! I did finally get a few chords with a song I wrote a while ago, so I'm pretty pumped about that. My mom e-mailed me a song that she wants me to learn to play, too, so I'm excited about that. The song is When the Stars Go Blue by Ryan Adams.

The Island
I'm sure everyone has heard about what has happened in Japan. My heart is breaking for the people over there. I can't even imagine what it would be like if something like that happened here. I know that no matter how bleak it seems, the Lord will lift them up. I didn't hear exactly who said it or what exactly was said, but I saw that someone made a comment about that happening to Japan because they weren't Christians. I have a little scripture for whoever said that: Or is God the God of Jews only? "Is he not the God of Gentiles too? Yes, of Gentiles too..." Romans 3:29. It's not our job to make that judgement.

The Movies
We got netflix recently, and I have developed a slight addiction. I've always liked movies a lot, but then again who doesn't, but now I am becoming a bit ridiculous. In the past three weeks I've seen The King's Speech (okay that one was in the theater), The Young Victoria, The Duchess, A Room With A View, How To Train Your Dragon, The Painted Veil, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button, Batman Begins, and am in the process of watching Emma. I think I'm forgetting one or two. See, ridiculous.


I've got a couple of prayer requests today, as well: Our neighbors have a two and a half year old son who will be undergoing his third (I think) open-heart surgury soon. We all know that the Lord will protect him, but Colby will have to be separated from his older brother, Brody, for a while and that will be tough. Also, my good friend, Dalton, will be going to Parris Island, South Carolina for Marine Corps Boot Camp on Monday (I think). I'm very proud of him and I know he will make a great Marine!
