one more week!

April 28, 2008

So I am counting down the days until I am done with this joint.  I am trying hard to promise myself I’ll never come back here.  It’s about the equivalent of being at a horrible church camp 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Do you remember when you went to church camp in like middle school?  The first few days were the JAM!  I remember being so pumped about being at camp, but by the 3rd or 4th day I was so ready to go home, sleep in my own bed, and see my mom.  I am not going to lie to you… it’s the same feeling I’ve had all semester.  I just do not belong in the “Christian College” environment.  I love the Lord but I just haven’t felt like this is the environment where I am going to grow.

I love how this is all I ramble about.  LAME!

this is me, saying words I actually mean…

April 24, 2008

I am so sick of school! Only 2 more weeks and I am free for the summer. I can’t wait to go on tour, I can’t wait to lead worship for North Point and Woodstock’s camps. It is so hard for me to get pumped to do dumb work here when I know in 2 weeks I am going to be having the most amazing time of my life. I am not just concerned with the fact that I am going to be having a blast, but also I am really expected and praying that God does some awesome things this summer.

I have already started praying for Summer Tour ‘08, Boot Camp, and Woodstock’s Camps. I am really praying that we can just shine bright for God in every city we pull up in. I feel like I didn’t really capitalize last year on a lot of huge opportunities to influence kids and I am praying that we don’t miss that this year. I want God to do some huge things through the Chris Coleman Band this summer tour. We are using a booking agent this summer and I am really praying that everything works out like it’s suppose to.

In other news, murphy is doing great! He is close to 100% and losing lots of weight. His belly no longer drags the floor as he walks. Thanks for praying guys! I love anyone who read this and follows up on my life, you guys are awesome friends.

Burnt Out!

April 21, 2008

So its 10:04 and I just got done the ACC Sunday night pow wow.  My Sundays are nuts.  I am not complaining at all because I stinkin’ love every second of it, its just that when I get to school and have to go to a Sunday night service I am not always excited about being here.

So it finally came to my attention today that absolutely NO ONE at our school thinks we are funny aside from the 4 of us.  The best part is, that makes everything we do twice as funny!  Come on guys, ACC is not that serious…

Can’t wait to see Charlie-Murphy tomorrow, I’ve been praying  for my lil’ guy.

Summer Tour ‘08!

April 15, 2008

kurtis and I started booking summer tour today.  I can’t even tell you how excited I am!  We’re gona be gone for 14 days, July 14-28 and we will will be going to some places I have never been before (Kentucky! haha).

Kurtis, Nate, and I invented a new sport… Extreme bush jumping.  It goes like this…


Murphy Update

April 10, 2008

Great news!  Murphy didn’t have to have surgery today.  As of now it’s kind of a hurry up and wait process.  He has three weeks of no running, no jumping, and no stair climbing.  If you know my dog, this is gona be a challenge for him.  After that three weeks if he is not back to 100% they will resort to back surgery.  I am really praying that this wont have to happen for a few reasons.  First and foremost, it’s a risky surgery.  Secondly its $2,000 operation and with my parents owning 2 houses right now that’d be real tough for them to pull of.  I know that we would pull it off but that would be a struggle for sure.

Kurtis and I are going on the road this weekend.  We will be in Norcross for the next 2 days leading worship for some singles weekend for Mount Bethel.  We are pretty excited about it, it should be a lot of fun.  I am real stressed about the amount of work I have to get done in these last few weeks of school.  This weekend is gona be filled with a lot of guitar playing, and paper writing when we aren’t rocking out.

Pray for our band!  We are going through a weird time right now and could really use some good ole’ fashion prayer.  We just haven’t been excited about making rock music anymore because we are all doing our own thing.  We are trying to figure out where our steam went.  I’m sure this new record coming out is gona change things, but we’d love some extra prayer support!

Charlie Murphy

April 9, 2008

My lil’ guy hurt his back. He is having surgery tomorrow. The worst part about it is he’s in Charleston. Poor guy… I know it sounds crazy but dude means a lot to me. He’s like my lil’ bro. If you’ve never met him, you’re missing out. I hope he pulls through, my life would not be as cool without him.

love ya murphy

“imitators of God”

April 8, 2008

Ephesians 5

1Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children 2and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God

This is something that I have had a really hard time grasping a hold of lately. Sometimes I feel like me loving God is enough, but that’s so false. Loving God should lead me to love everyone I come in contact with. Not just the people I want to love.


I’m gona be a fat ole’ man!

April 6, 2008

2 signs that I someday will be a fat old man!

1. My clothes aren’t fitting right anymore
2. Everyday activities, such as climbing a flight of stairs, have become the phsyical equivilent of running a marathan

Sorry for the lack of posts. I’m in Charleston at my parent’s house and the only net I have is on my sidekick. That’s all folks!

Mercy

April 2, 2008

Angel of mercy, how did you find me?  How did you pick me up again?

Angel of mercy, how did you move me?  Why am I on my feet again?
