I have moved over to blogspot, and I am working on moving alot of my political/currentevents/cultural posts over to my website. I will also start following a lot of y'alls blogs in my blogspot dashboard. I would definately encourage y'all yo take a look at my new blog. Any way keep writing and loving life.

| Summer Break So FarHello Xanganians, Well life since school has been pretty good. I pretty much started break with that nailbiter of a Republican Convention back on May 31st in which the establishment candidate was 66 votes away from being ousted out of over 10,000 votes. What a nail biter, but quite a lot of fun. I have gotten to work the table for Generation Joshua at two homeschool conferences this summer: one in Richmond, and the other in Knoxville TN. After the last one I helped staff Generation Joshua camp. This was the camp to blow all other camps out of the water. We had mock legislature, a presidential election, national security emergencies, lobbyists, a formal dinner, and we finished the week off watching the 4th of July fireworks in D.C. on the steps of the Jefferson Memorial. Other than GenJ related stuff I haven't really had any solid work. Jobs really are scarce for people who just want to work the summer. This has meant that I can do fun things. I've been to Busch Gardens four times, and I have gotten to help lots of people out with different projects. I also got to run in my first 5k. I really enjoyed it and I want to do it again. My time, and please don't laugh if you are a real runner, was 31:26. My goal for next time is to get below thirty minutes but we'll see. For those of you who are wondering how I could survive for almost two months without politics, don't worry. At the start of the General Assembly's legislative session I participated in a rally at the capital to tell the legislators not to raise our taxes. It was a lot of fun, and we were very successful. I have also been workign on phonebanking for good 'ol Congressman Bob Goodlatte VA-6, as he works on gettgin reelected and tries to turn out the vote for McCain in western VA. I have also gotten a decent bit of reading in. A nice mixture of school and fun stuff. Also if you haven't seen them yet, Wall-E actually was very worth seeing, and Dark Knight was absolutely phenomenal. Well enough rambling. I just wanted to say hi to everybody hear, and hopefully start gettign back in touch with everyone on xanga. Next week is the beach and about two weeks later is school. God truly is great. | | |
| Nature Declares the Glory of GodThere is something amazingly calming and reassuring about nature. Tonight we had a lunar eclipse which was absolutely gorgeous. The moon was orange and ringed with a crown of stars. As I stared in awe at it I couldn't help think abotu how inignificant our worries and fears are. At a time when things are happening people would have thought ludicrous last summer, friends are moving on to things I was supposed to be doing, tests are due, speeches need to be finished and delivered.... It is very reassuring to look at the sky and simply stand in awe at the beauty, and power of God.
A Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity |
| | 1 | Blessed be the LORD my strength,
| | | which teacheth my hands to war, | | and my fingers to fight: |
|
| | 2 | my goodness, and my fortress;
| | | my high tower, and my deliverer; | | my shield, and he in whom I trust; | | who subdueth my people under me. |
|
| | 3 | LORD, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him!
| | | or the son of man, that thou makest account of him! |
|
| | 4 | Man is like to vanity:
| | | his days are as a shadow that passeth away. |
|
| | 5 | Bow thy heavens, O LORD, and come down:
| | | touch the mountains, and they shall smoke. |
|
| | 6 | Cast forth lightning, and scatter them:
| | | shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them. |
|
| | 7 | Send thine hand from above;
| | | rid me, and deliver me out of great waters, | | from the hand of strange children; |
|
| | 8 | whose mouth speaketh vanity,
| | | and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood. |
|
| | 9 | I will sing a new song unto thee, O God:
| | | upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings | | will I sing praises unto thee. |
|
| | 10 | It is he that giveth salvation unto kings:
| | | who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword. |
|
| | 11 | Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children,
| | | whose mouth speaketh vanity, | | and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood: |
|
| | 12 | that our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth;
| | | that our daughters may be as corner stones, | | polished after the similitude of a palace: |
|
| | 13 | that our garners may be full,
| | | affording all manner of store; | | that our sheep may bring forth thousands | | and ten thousands in our streets: |
|
| | 14 | that our oxen may be strong to labor;
| | | that there be no breaking in, nor going out; | | that there be no complaining in our streets. |
|
| | 15 | Happy is that people, that is in such a case:
| | | yea, happy is that people, whose God is the LORD. |
