Mark Driscoll is the man

Howdy all

Shocker, three post in almost a week, who knew i would be so bored with school work that i would resort to trying to tell seven people about my life. Well, school is tedious, I think this online class is much like high school math. What i mean by this is that there is not a whole lot of important information coming through my brain, but my homework is tedious. I keep having to reexplain the same communication theory over and over again. Right now i am writing a paper and i am on page 6 and have not had an original idea since page two.


Okay rant over, now onto the real reason I decided to blog, and the second half of my last post. Pastor Mark Driscoll. Some people love him, some people hate him. I am the former. This guy has quickly become one of my top favorite bible teachers of all time. I decided to make a list of the reasons i like him

1. He teaches expositoryly
2. He yells at the men with Gods righteous anger
3. He is gentle when talking to the ladies
4. He really cares about his congregation
5. He does not sugarcoat sin
6. There are many many more


Well that is all i have to say about the matter. What do you think about him? Pro or Negative?

crazy little thing called love

Hello all (and by that I mean Colleen)

Well it has been a few months since I have done a REAL update, so this will be a two part blog.

First, my life:

The reason I have not updated a whole lot is my life tends to be boring. I do have a new (well almost three months now) girlfriend. Her name is Kelsey and she is wonderful. I am guessing all of you know this already, but in case I get one person who does not know, there you go. We have been dating for almost 3 months now, and it has been wonderful.

I will tell you our story now, if it interests you. We meet about 5 months ago now, just a few weeks before christmas through some mutual friends. The first time we hung out, I do not think either of us were all that impressed with each other. I am not saying we did not like each other, but it was not a "I knew the first time i meet him/her" type of thing. However the next night, we all started to hang out again, and quickly people started leaving and it ended up being just me and Kelsey watching a movie and talking. That is when i took notice.

As some of you know, she is a tad younger, but i was impressed with her ability to converse and her maturity and levelheadedness. So we started to hang out more, and we quickly realized that we liked each other.

I knew at this point that we both liked each other, but i was not sure if we should date. So what I said to her was something along the lines of, "I like you, and want to make sure we should be together before we become official." So for about a month, we went on dates, hung out and prayed to seek the Lords will on our relationship.

Because of some random issues, after a month i was still not sure if we should be together, but i remember praying to God that he would just make it abundantly clear his will for us. This is how great God is at answering prayers, not only did he resolve the situation, with out my urging or asking of kelsey, during worhip on sunday,i was praying about it, and God just gave me this huge sense of ease about it all.

So that Wednesday Jan 7th, we went on another date, afterwards we drove down to pismo to walk on the pier a bit. While on the peir, i decided then was the time, so i asked her if she would officially become my girlfriend, then we found a bench and prayed about our relationship.


Three months later, we are doing well, especially these past few days. I am going to try and post some pictures of us, but i am not sure if i know how so sorry if they do not come our right.








Okay well I was going to Blog about something else, but i guess that will have to be another day,

Kevin
