Well after being 5-1 we finally got another win under our belt, putting us at a wopping 2-5. We played Starkey Academy Friday night. We played well, looked more like a team. Cody played very well; he had 12 pts. I had 15 and Brent, our pointgaurd had 23. there were other people that scored but i don't remember each person's as it wasn't hire than 4 pts. and theres nothing against that. there points add to the total... :)
Let me back up. Thursday night at Closer Tori and Heather spoke on "time, Talent, and i think treasure" i know i can't believe i forgot the third point. They did very well...very passionate about what they were talking about. I think it's because it's something that God is really showing htem. It's funny how suddently become very passionate about something when it touches you on a personal level...
Then friday night wasmy game. Tori and mrs. vicki and hten twin came, along with my mom. After the game we ate at dairy queen. I got to play with straws with Rhett and Rhodes...im not real sure if that's howyou spell Rhodes name...neway...After the game I went to Tori's house to watch a movie "firewall" it was good except the ending. It was unusually quiet that night....j.d. was sleeping as well as lincoln and the twins were quiet also...i know surprising...
Saturday i slept in till 12:15 which was awesome...i never get enought sleep anymore... After that me and cody went buy paintball supplies...i can't wait to play... Then I went to 5 o'clock service with my parents. Tweeze preached...he did awesome... :) after the service me and tori and salem went with a bunch of M.A.F.I.A. parents to "punk" pastor Dino's house with Christmas decorations...it was really cool, we have a video but i don't know how to make a link so you'll have to find it yourself ;) we then went each Chinese which was amazing at Super Buffet...totally awesome until i bit into this piece of fish that had fish eggs all over it...totally gross....then me, tori, and cody went watch "flushed away" so funny...they had one part where there were these french frogs and they were about ot go on a mission and the lead frog told them to go to actiona dn they replied "we surrender" so funny...
Sunday me and cody set up the paintball field and played alittle one on one...then i went to the missions bible study at Tori's house...Mr. dan did amazing again...i learn alot from these things...and it'snothing against other bible studies, but i think i learn more when an older more mature christian shares experience as well as knowledge with me...after that stayed at tori's house alittle while then went home...
i think i need to blog more often bc the length of my post are ridiculous...i mean seriously who wants to sit down and read 4 pgs of my weekend...
well that's all for me right now...beside that i want to be more like Christ everyday...i find its so easy to be distracted and waste your time doing meaningless things...you get overwhelmed with the things of life, forget a quiet time here or there and boom...you feel horrible...i hate that feeling...the feeling wehre you know theres something better, but you feel worthless while looking...like you know you shouldn't be back where you are right now...I think what God is trying to show me through this is Grace...I get so focused on doing things "right" that i sometimes forget the whole reason for doing it...I mean i'm not suppose to have quiet time so that i can say that i had quiet time...i should have it to please my father, to seek Him, and only Him...i think sometimes i become legalistic; no i know sometimes i become legalistic...
I guess i wish sometimes i wouldn't be so analytical about everything...you know more laid back...I mean i actually caught myself profiling the people in the life-group...yes it's funny, but really what's the point...so yeah i guess God is teaching me to depend on Him and accept His grace when i fail...because if i dont i become prideful..."how could god forgive "ME"" you see what I mean...our pity becomes an idol in our life...not good...so yeah that's it...i'll get off my soapbox now...
sorry it's so long "again"... :O

I always love reading your posts!!! Awesome and passionate! So honest and real! Saw the video from the "punk" on the Rizzo's house - very funny!!!!
Firewall was an awesome movie ^^ I liked the ending. (But, I'm a violent person so...)
but i think i learn more when an older more mature christian shares experience as well as knowledge with me...
So true, this is why I love Closer.

Jordan,
that was amazing! I just read this post and your testimony! It was amazing! I knew a little of it via Mickey :P, but it's really amazing how God can take us from one place to somewhere higher in spite of our sins! Thanks for the enlightment, cause God can forgive 'cause, HE's GOD!! :P Thanks for everything, man.
