The Afters and What is Wrong with the Frosh.

So I went to the Block Party even though it rained about half way through. I got beat in some Madden 09. All is still well.

The main part of the post is about the freshmen that are here. My dad warned my that I people are not going to be, lets say, mature. I guess father knows best. He also used the GI Bill to attend college and also moved off campus. I guess this bugs me because I am here to find a godly wife and she must be ready to be married. I guess that there are some women that are ready but they did not seem to at the concert. Anyway, it started to rain and it postponed the concert a little bit but it allowed to see frosh jumping in the puddles. I was thinking that these are college students, these are fellow classmates. It is a going thing that I am graduating a year before them. I also though a 13 year old named Deborah. She lives in the UK and she is on FIRE for God. She happen to have a documentary done on her by BBC 3 and can be view in parts on Youtube. It is actually really great to watch if you have time. They went witnessing with her in the streets. She does it the Law-Grace method, same as Way of the Master. She does not know what really TV is. She would put all the freshmen, there might have been some upper-classmen also, to complete shame.

But then there was the concert, the beginning almost felt like a B-1 was taken off with the bass kicker. Fortunately, the B-1 has more bass and is much louder. It was a okay concert but there was a lot of things I would change. I like the concerts with out all the base, it made it hard to hear the voices, even though that is why the bass is turned up so much. The Casting Crowns concert I went to was at the right mix. The bass was heard but not overpowering. The Casting Crowns concert was a better time for me (Kyle can you back me on this one, not really). I recognized some songs from the radio and of course had more information for why the wrote certain songs. There were people crowd surfing which I thought was a little secular. The concert was definitely something that the world would have enjoyed. They did mention God after about 1/2 the show. I could not tell if the lead singer was trying to give a gospel presentation or trying to talk about God unfailing love. I am going with the God unfailing love because it was a terrible gospel presentation.

I think that this is enough for tonight (Sunday Morning). It is time for bed. Later and break a leg for God.

A rainy? Block Party.

So I am at one of the hangouts that I go to. It is Starbucks because I know that all you are wondering where I will be at.

As I seat outside at Starbucks, I have been pondering if I should go to the LU Block party tonight. They have a couple of bands one is The Afters. I really do not know if I want to go but they said there is free food. I guess that is a plus. Although I have some Runza casserole waiting in my frig for me to eat it. It will be a change to meet some people to get to know. Although I did meet with a Professor from Liberty that I meet at a church that I will attend tomorrow. I went to there Sunday night service. So I decided this week that I will attend both Sunday morning and evening service to get the feel of the church. They do a program with some homeless every other Thursday, it is awesome that are caring about the people in Lynchburg. I have noticed that many time we neglate to witness within our own communities. Not just to the homeless but also to the professional and college students. I am looking for a group that is will to go out to the streets and win some souls for God.

Anyways, back to the block party. Why I have rainy? in the tittle is because it just stop raining and there are more clouds in the sky. Being the military man I am, I have my BDU Gore-tex because it is cleanest. (I have 2 of them plus an ABU one that is about black.) My fear is that I will not enjoy myself and not get accomplished what I want to do. I have been trying to get to know people in my classes a little but I am not one of those Hi my name is kinda guy. I am more of the "Have you gotton one of these" (hand a million dollar tract and smile). It is different coming to a new city. I was thinking about all the places I have been to. I was either forced or I knew people before I got there. Like my college roommate Adam, I was forced to get to know him because we lived together. When I went to England, I knew a Mormon that I went to Tech School and to Tinker AFB with. I also talked to a Chaplain before hand so I some I could talk to. Anyways, Liberty has not been that kind of experience. Although God is working his will and stuff have been falling into place. I guess I look at these time and wonder why I seem to question God and what he is doing.

This block party should be an adventure maybe worthy enough to get published on the LU File (dramatic music plays).

I hope that everyone is enjoying the new design. See everyone on the flip side.

Mikie-Man out!!!

A New Name for a New Time in my Life.

AS you might have seen, the blog has a new look and a new name. I have not decided if I like the new template because of the buttons on the side being cut off. I do have the old template saved in case I revert back. I will have to see about that. One thing you not notice is that the music is gone. There was no room to place it at the bottom, I know everyone is sad. So the new name is the LU file. LU= Liberty University. I think it is best for the time that I am currently in. The blog content might change a little but not that much. So for everyone info, Name Template, New Name, New Description, BUT the same content.

A new Adventure at Liberty Univeristy

I guess this could be the official start or the Liberty or Lynchburg File. I have using my terrorist watching skills that was taught to me by the US Government. I have am feeling that I might feel some resists from what I believe. I guess I look at how I am a L-word when it comes to reading and try to figure out what the author meant instead of reading in between the lines. It seems that I will be reading some good solid books but people can change what they say. I have also notice that it is kind of a pretty boy school. It is a private school and so it appears that people might have a holier than thou attitude (which I am trying to work on). I am trying to remember that I am no better that everyone else in the school.

One of the biggest things I have noticed is how immature I was when I was a Freshmen and now I see it in the freshmen at Liberty. I can see that the military has shaped my life and I have some respect that these others have. The biggest is cell phones. This is purely military, but STOP WALKING WITH A CELL PHONE TO YOUR EAR AND PLEASE DO NOT DRIVE WITH A PHONE TO YOUR EAR (that was illegal in England)!!!!!!

I am sorry that complete bugs me and also texting and walking. Bad deal.

I have noticed more, because of different blogs, that people will seat with each other and not talk but text other people or check their cell phones when with other people. I do think that is rude and needs to stop.

I am not perfect at all manners like opening doors for ladies, which I am working on, but there is some things that I think need to change.

As I end this rant, I am excited to threw these judgmental thoughts and learn to be more tolerant with people I do not agree with.

Some things to pray for:
1. finding a church that will glorify God in my life.
2. A group of friends to help to become a better Christians so I can Glorify God Better.
3. To find a godly women looking for marriage and able to pursue her so that God is Glorified.
4. To show and proclaim to the world that Christ is the only way to heaven and act in a way that will glorify God is word and deeds.

Made it Lynchburg, VA.

So I made it Lynchburg, VA. I left at 0800 on the 27th from Kearney, NE and made it Lynchburg, VA at 1630today the 28th. It was a long drive to do myself. I listen to R.C. Sproul, Ravi, and some Todd Friel from Wretched Radio. It took me longer then I thought but I made some stops to get maps so I could out Thunder Stroms if need be. I need to explore the area more but I think this fall Lynchburg will be a cool place. For now, I am off.

The Time has come.

So the time has come. It is the final countdown. I am mere hours away from leaving the UK to attend university. Like I said in the last post, I try and not think that I am leaving. I am aware that I the day is coming. I have some lose ends to tie up and then I am gone, leaving on a jet plane to go home. I keep think how God has grown me this past few months. How I have learned to make bolder steps in faith by sharing the ultimate gift to the world, the salvation from hell.

The one thing I have not talked much about is what I will be doing. Starting this August, I am going to be a full-time student again but this time at a Christian University. While at university, I hope to find a wife because I heard Christian universities have Christian women, again that is only a rumor. I will also do part work for the USAF Reserves at Andrews AFB, MD with the 459th ARW working on KC-135s (or the same airplane I worked in here in England).

So that is the plan so far.

TTYL maybe next time in the States.

It is July.

This is exciting to write to you on this fine 3rd of July. The fact is that in 10 days, I will no longer be living in the UK. I turned my house back to the landlord and received the deposit check which is now the deposit check for my next apartment. As I have been looking back at my time in England, I can not but think about the wonderful growth I have had in this seeming godless country. (They worship a god but not the true God. I think is name is Darwin but I might be wrong.) I think about how spiritual weak I was in my walk. I am still weak but I am growing. As I have broke out to witness to the Brits, I have learned to but everything I know in action. I also have been developing better communication skill that uses time and words that express what I am thinking. You know think before you speak. If it is true, which I found out is, you have no more that 8 seconds to respond to someone with out being uncomfortable (all y'al know what I am talking aboot ah.(the comment is a US-southern Canadian)). But I start to realize that my season in England, I have to thank all the people that made my time possible.

As I start to get ready to leave, I realize that I need to continue to do what I learned herein England. It is that the world needs a savior and I know one that is willing to same you. Jesus Christ is the savior that this world needs. It does not need a queen or a president that wants to kill black babies. No it needs Jesus and as Christians we need to start praying for the salvation of the US. When US was it greatest is when God was placed above everything. As I leave England, that land of John Wesley, C.H. Spurgeon, George Whitfield, and John Newton (are just some) to the land that was truly made from Christian valves, I see the need to step out and witness to people one by one and preach at events. If we want to change this country we MUST STEP OUT WITH FAITH NOW because the next generation will do the same thing that we are doing now. We must stand up in faith because God's word return void.

Who is ready to join the fight, the fight for souls?
