Wherever We Go

I honestly can't think of a day that I ever felt more excited to be a Christian, and to know Christ. It's a truly liberating, freeing, joyful feeling. I think it was a combination of things happening today at church. Laura and I played bells for two services, and the gospel was very intriguing. There was also an older man being baptized today. He has great-grandchildren, and his family all grew up in this church, but he has been an agnostic most of his life. But he decided to make the step himself, and accept Christ. But even this late in his life, it is still a beautiful thing to witness - to know that no matter how old you might be, or how screwed up you think your life might be, Jesus will STILL take you without any misgivings, because he loves us just that much.
Truly awesome.
That, and I discovered Newsboys today, particularly their latest album "Go". I've heard of them in passing, but never really listened to their stuff. Well, that's changed. Their music is so great, and it's all for such a great guy :-)

Forgetfulness

Yes, indeed. They might as well just start calling me Forgetful Jones. You know, the puppet character from Sesame Street. Yes, it's been over a year since I've written anything in this blog. But, I daresay I haven't gotten any readers anyway! So, no problems there.
To make a long story short: I am officially back in Ohio, after a marvelous time in Hawaii. I'm not too terribly depressed about it though, as some people might think. No, I'm content. I'm taking a full load of credit hours at Stark State, and I'm going for a degree in Technical Communications. I'm now considering my year in Hawaii to be my "gap year", as they call it in Britain. It was nice for a change, to get away from a life I found to be redundant and simplified. Now, I feel like I have a broader grasp on where I've been, and where I needed to go. I'm now happy to be getting on with life, as it were, and get the degree I've finally decided I want to work towards.
It's a good feeling.
So, how've you been?
