| Nate Tubbs is the best preacher in the world. He preached on Philippians 3:1-10. Anything I had gain I have counted loss for the sake of knowing Christ Jesus. Many eprops to Nate and his preaching skills.

| I haven't updated in awhile. I feel like I've turned my back on all the xanga people. I have not done my duty to all those whom are faithful to the xanga surfing, and for that you have my deepest and most sincere apologies. Of course the most sincere apology is one without a sarcastic mindset which I have. So for my insincere, sincere apology I am also sorry...sincerely. I just started ready Mere Christianity by CS Lewis. I am a churchy kid and a Bible student I figured I should read it since every other churchy kid and Bible student has. His thoughts are deep yet he writes in a way that's easy to understand. As he writes he knows what his audience of critics are thinking because he says things like God exists which would upset some people, and he remedies the objections of a critical thinker. Ok enough on the smart dead guy...I'm still working hard parking cars. I'm looking forward to the day I can quit, but also look forward to the opportunities I have at work. I meet all sorts of people. Last night i met a homeless women, i gave her my meal replacement bar and drink, then I met a man named John who was so excited about his faith. He lit up as he talked about the goodness of God, that coming from a man who didn't seem to have much and hands were turning white (he's black) from a skin disease, and had a pack of ciggarettes in his hands. Amazing. I met a Muslim guy named Basaam who loves to learn about the Christian God, and he has intrigued me to learn about the Muslim God. We have conversations all the time. Never have I met a guy with different beliefs like Basaam. He is so eager to learn about other religions, not criticize them.I have high respects for him, and I believe he has high respects for me. That's cool. My boss is very difficult to work with, but I'm learning how to work with him. I can tell he knows he's missing something important in his life, and i'm not saying that in a cliche Christian way saying that he's just missing Jesus, which he is, but I can tell that he realizes his dissatisfaction in life and he's living day by day trying to satisify something he doesn't understand yet. I'm building this business. The business includes talking to a lot of people. It has given me opportunity to talk to lots of old friends. Many of my friends are in jobs now, working everyday with weekends off with no direction. I love talking with them and telling them of my dreams and aspirations, and I want to encourage them to have some of the same things. Many of them are not believers, but they are listening, and that's cool. I'm going to build this business so I can take less hours working valet. The valet job owns my life right now. I want to use my time to read, study, spend more time with friends, go on trips, and prepare for a future ministry. I have to admit, I hate going to work somedays, the people I park cars for are so materialistic, but every now and then I see myself in them. It's humbling. Well if you read this whole thing..kudos to you. When I see that many words in someone's xanga post I usually don't read it. So if you read this I am so grateful and i consider you a wonderful friend. Later kids!
This picture is one from the bahamas. We went to an orphanage one day while we were shooting the movie Sandcastle. I know we were only there one day and kids really need long term love, but look at that kids face. I think he felt loved, even if it was only for a couple hours.
