happy windmills and coffee... in excess

so can i start by saying that im watching happy gilmore right now with my buddy jeff, and its at the part where he sings into the door monitor "i want to kiss you all over and over and again, i want to kiss you all over. till the night closes in." as a little boy listens super confused and that crazy Chinese lady go up to happy room and (burrrrbbb). hahahaha what a great movie.


last week a bought a holga toy film camera and im still learning to use it but here is a shot from yesterday with no photoshop just me+holga+film= really cool (i think)

april 2
so today was great. i have some awesome roomates, we get to live life together and talk about girls, Jesus, school, and work... not necessarily in that order, but often in that order(hahaha) ever week as a group we practice Psalms 119:147
"I rise early, before the sun is up; I cry out for help and put my hope in your words."
today was that day for us, it was so refreshing to ask God to give us a platform to love and serve our community we prayed Jeremiah 29:7
"Also, seek the peace and prosperity of the city to which I have carried you into. Pray to the LORD for it, because if it prospers, you too will prosper"
we prayed for creativity and imagination so that we might "Shine like Stars" as paul writes in Phillippians 2:15. it was an incredible time for us to focus and connect our hearts with Gods.
thank you Jesus for calling us your children
after i spent the morning with a good friend Dwight Watson. dwight is a guy who believes in the power of the Gospel to transform Las Vegas and the whole world. he pastors several groups of simple faith communities that meet in homes all over the valley they collectively are called The River. we shared a cup of coffee and some conversation and i was so encouraged to follow the passions God has given me, thank you dwight for letting me see Jesus in you.
finally on thursday nights i get to meet with some college student for my church at the TABLE. we talked tonight about community, and how valuable God's family is in our lives it was a great time.

i believe this verse in Colossians 4:6 tells the story of my day
"Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
april 2 you were great tell you're friend to keep the good times comin!

see ya soon
