BULLETIN: Anyone who plans to go to the Peach Bowl should be sure to lock your house securely, leave lights on, and if you have one, set your alarm, because all the USC football players will be home for the holidays! Remember, you are especially vulnerable if within bike riding distance of campus.

well its time for my semi annual post...

Life has been nothing short of amazing, takes my breathe at times...school is exciting as always, full of new challenges and new faces. It came to my mind today that we have students/teachers from 4 different far far away lands/countries, attending this year.... Alex was from Guatemala, Rebekah was from Romania, Naomi was from China, and Ms. Amy is from Oregon... ok so the last one doesn't really count, I'll be nice to the Oregononians We have an awesome staff this year, and yes that does include Mr. Joel. Our students are pretty fabulous as well...all 42 of em!

We had a good discussion yesterday on the Twin Towers and all the happenings of 9/11. Kind of sad to recall all the events and the lives that were lost. We also talked a little about the Muslim world and there influence on that day. Grips my heart to think of the false hope these 19 terrorists had, and the rest of the Muslim world for that matter.... they need Jesus as much as anybody!

As I mentioned last time, I would like to use this site as kind of a school news/information page...including quotes from some of my students ....

Mr. Mike.... "Great game Mitch!" (after an action packed game of basketball)

Mitch.... "Yeah, I was dominating the game there for a while!"

Maybe this was only comical to me, but sometimes you just have to laugh... till next time... be blessed and be a blessing...

Hello once again to one and all!

Before all of you, or both of you, get all excited about me updating again, let me just say that I'm not a huge xanga fan, but that it does have its benefits, so we shall see how round 2 goes.

God has led me very clearly to go back to teaching school, but this time in a little different role. I'm excited about the new challenge and hopefully this site will prove to be a way to let ya'll know what amazing things God is doing. The last 4 months have been nothing short of incredibleness to say the least, its a rather lengthy story so I wont go into it but just so you know my God is bigger then anything we could ever face on this blessed earth or anywhere else for that matter!! Still baffles me to think He wants to use ME??? but my best I will give until I breathe no more. I leave you with my favorite quote of the day:

"The proof that we have the vision is that we are reaching out for more than we have grasped." -Oswald Chambers

i have the worlds most amazing girlfriend, when i think i have her figured out, something new an exciting always pops up....thats definitely a good thing!! truly blessed to be dating her.... i miss u dear..

i read something this morning that really spoke to me, so here it goes:

"Lord, when will i realize that to judge my brother means that i am doing You as well as him a disservice? I am destroying Your image in him, for i must believe that You are working in him as well as me. Judging others is the grossest form of self-worship. It says God is working in only me.". . . . . . . . . W. Glyn Evans

My toes hurt badly after i read that, something i really struggle with at times, an the way he put it brought out in way i never realized before....may God help me.....
