Someone once told me to be less cynical... So i will!

Jesus talk will take place tonight in the hot tub at the Rec!

     The challenge this week is to love someone you don't normally love and mention God to them! So I gave this to someone at Dunkin donuts after I paid for their drink in the Drive Thru. According to John 4 I am Sowing, but someone else will reap later.

Love Does! Do it! Sorry the pic is upside down. Work at it!





The smartest kid I know. I hope he will let me move in with him when I am homeless one day.

                         MOM
It’s over there in the corner. Yea you both can paint. But whatever you do… don’t you dare ruin my priceless Urn!

                         (Mom exits)
(Kids begin to improvise with the paint set.)

                         ERIC
What are you painting, Brandon?
                   
BRANDON
Well if you must know, it’s a group of sea turtles trying to cross the pacific, but there is a zebra in the way, so they can’t pass.

                         ERIC
It looks like more like a jackass.

                         BRANDON
It’s a zebra, not a jackass. You are just doing this to piss me off.
                   
                         ERIC
I’m not saying it to piss you off.

                         BRANDON
Yes you are.

                         ERIC
Look, You don’t have any stripes on the zebra… And it’s brown.

                         BRANDON
Shut up! I know you are just trying to piss me off.

Am not. As your older brother, I think you should know the difference between Zebras and Jackasses.

Oh, no! Mom’s precious urn.

Don’t say anything.

                         ERIC
Well who are we gonna say did it! This isn’t gonna work!


                         BRANDON
If you say it was me, I’ll kill you in your sleep!

Christmas Soon!: Writing 5 Packet at Second City is due on Thursday!

I just finished writing 4 Week 3!

          Really excited and nervous about submitting my sketch to be reviewed to see if I make it to writing 5 and 6! If accepted, my team and I will create a sketch review on one of the stages at Second City.




         The future is always a mystery. People in general fear what they do not know or understand. As a senior this school, I have been blessed to see how the Lord is already opening opportunities for me.

         I wonder if if I will make it. I wonder if the Lord has prepared me for what is to come. Contrary to popular belief, It is called the present because it is a gift. Each moment is what is happening in your life. 

      I am a... 

  •                      Senior at Olivet Nazarene University
  •                      Preaching Ambassador
  •                      Video Editor
  •                      Resident Assistant
  •                      Second City Writing 4 Student

  •                      Busy!

        This thing started because of an idea I had that was loosely taken from a scene in The Dark Knight Rises. You must do it. "Without The Rope". We cannot live in 'what if?' moments. You can make your life amazing just by doing amazing things. Quit thinking about doing things. Do them.

        Don't find your satisfaction in meaningless things, but find satisfaction in doing meaningful things.

Anyways I will post the sketch here tomorrow by NOON!

Pray for me.
