Just keep doing what it is that you do man.  Because at this time its what you're doing and you ain't got nothing better to do than doing that. So whatever it is that thing you do...keep on.    ---Baker.

Last night I had this totally crazy thought come upon me.  It came to me:

I've lead the life I've lead right?  I've done and seen and heard and felt and had totally mind-blowing and heart-breaking come to Jesus meetings many a times.  The sins I've committed and everything have lead me to believe in God more than anything else.  Because it lead me to a complete breakdown of spirit and it gave me an answer.  God had to be there.  I believe in God.  Yet sometimes I believe I wouldn't know it myself...yes you read that right.  I wonder..what's the breaking point in all this?  Whats the next thing I can do to throw myself over the line and my spirit give itself a heimleich to save its own life because it knows its final destination.  Do I move on or stay?  Do I settle?  Is that what I've set myself up for?  Momentary and fleeting pleasures that I call Sin?  Or do I, knowing what God has in store for me can be so much more than what I have set up for myself or what I wanted or ever intended?  His plan is so great and majestic to cover everything...EVERYTHING!  Is that breaking point the point at which I have the final come to Jesus.  And then...did God know I was gonna go through this and it leads me to see that I know the answer already?   Well I know that answer.  Its a complete circle.  It comes to this.  Is what you've gone through...the pain...the hurt...hate...anger....resentment and sins....is that all enough to make you realize that more than anything hands down, no holds-barred its time for you to come to Jesus...for the last time in a sense that there's only a turn from all that you've left behind....pressing onward as I like to call it for the glory of God.  Don't push your line, don't be tempted, don't jump because Satan will push.  Its a complete cycle...the soul and body and mind and heart yearning for what it can't have without God.  If you don't place God first in all those areas...then its setup for failure.  And then...I know this yes.  And yet its like my life always sought to look for other than godly methods to fill those...empty spaces.  Which led me to in turn...come to Jesus beacuse I know I can't fill those empty spaces with anything but what God intends for my life.  So now its Me and Jesus.There's no coming to Jesus.  HE came to me on a cross and took my sin.    All I have to do is ask with a sincere heart...forgiveness and I turn from that sin.  Now its to the pressing onward.......for the Glory of God and Jesus Christ may I have a testimony that breaks you down, makes you realize that hands down, no holds barred, rugged, weathered, worn out soul, empty spaces, tired, never-ending means to find oneself in oneself when God gave us the answer in Red Letters....all you need is Jesus....for a new soul....a new spirit in Christ......Do I hear Amen?!

What day is it 
And in what month 
This clock never seemed so alive 
I can't keep up and I can't back down 
I've been losing so much time 

Cause it's you and me and all of the people 
Nothing to do, nothing to lose 
And it's you and me and all of the people and 
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you 

All of the things that I want to say 
Just aren't coming out right 
I'm tripping on words, you got my head spinning 
I don't know where to go from here 

Cause it's you and me and all of the people 
With nothing to do, nothing to prove 
And it's you and me and all of the people and 
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off you 

Something about you now 
I can't quite figure out 
Everything she does is beautiful 
Everything she does is right 

Cause it's you and me and all of the people 
With nothing to do, nothing to lose 
And it's you and me and all of the people and 
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of 

You and me and all of the people 
With nothing to do nothin to prove and 
It's you and me and all of the people and 
I don't know why I can't keep my eyes off of you 

What day is it 
And in what month 
This clock never seemed so alive 
Well I'm home on leave and all....and its good.  I love the south.  Anyways....I'm leaving for cali on the 3rd 
of Nov.  Once I get there I'm doing CAX.  It's training for iraq and all.  Soon as I'm done with that I may
