What God Has Been Doing in My Life

Just recently, I've really been focusing on how spiritual growth dramatically effects daily life. For instance, at night I just don't want to sleep. I feel so pumped up, that I want to tell others about Christ. One of the verses that really means a lot to me is Proverbs 3, 5-6. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and do not lean on your own understanding. Seek God's will in all you do and he will show you the path to take.

Playing "My Jesus" on the Drum

Learning to Ride My Unicycle

When I received a unicycle last Christmas I was so excited! I could just imagine starting a circus with my best friend who also happened to have a unicycle. After my dad assembled it I tried it out immediately and fell down. After that, I considered that I should probably watch the riding video. In those first few days I was trying to ride but without much success. And I also had a major problem that effected my motivation. When I put my feet on the pedals I didn't notice how close I put them to the axle. So when I started riding it whacked my ankles so badly that they started to bleed. I started to practice less and less until I didn't practice at all! Later, we went out to a coastal town for spring break and during the time between we stayed at the school center. While we were there, my friend who had a unicycle wanted to help me in my riding, so he showed me how to ride easily. I tried and started getting good at it, riding a few feet more each time for those days until we had to come back home.  When we got here I picked up and started riding and before I knew it, I was riding long distances! That shows me that commitment is an important ingredient for success.
My most recent accomplishment is learning to free-mount (getting on without holding onto anything). I look forward to the days to come when I can do tricks and learn different techniques.

The River

My favorite place to visit is the river. It is fun to go there on hot days. The hike down there is about 20 minutes. The water is freezing, but I have gotten used to it. You can sit in the waterfall and let it massage your back vigorously. What is the best about it is not the temperature, or the atmosphere, but it's faithfulness to keep on flowing. To me, it symbolizes God's faithfulness to keep on providing.

Silly Business Letter

To the Nerf Gun Co.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have been wondering as to why my package containing two Nerf-n-Strike Maverick Rev-b's and a package of 36 suction darts has not arrived. I have waited 57 years and have not received them. I am 96 now and am too old and frail to entertain myself with those toys. I must resort to Bingo now. I could have sued you but I have contained myself.

Sincerely,

Jason
