"The reports of my death have been greatly exaggerated"
-- Mark Twain

Yeesh, I've been gone for a month and suddenly everyone thinks I'm dead! *L* Was I that missed or am I just on a lot?

Anyway yeah I've been gone for a month... nothing real special to say, except that I blame it on video games... blasted Bomberman.

Anywho life has been good lately, I'm full-time at Fred's which means I'll have full health, life, and dental insurance soon plus a small raise, access to a credit union, and at least 32 hours a week. I've decided to take a year off of school to save up for Bible college, cause well... it ain't free.

The jail ministry is going well, I might be doing a little missionary work in some of the rougher neighborhoods in town as well... which anyone that knows me knows that I'd rather shoot myself then do that, but I was talking to some people about a neighborhood in town and my pastor came up to me, put his arm around me, and said "John, go there." It nearly broke my heart when he said that... this man had been to China and started churches, he's been to Japan and converted many people, has churches all over the country, and knows people whose shoes I'm unfit to tie... and he was telling ME to go somewhere... so of course I'm gonna go! To tell you the truth though... I'm scared to death, Mom calls the place I'm going "Peru, Mississippi", and Dad calls it "Demonopressionville". Point is I'm going there. Nice knowing you all.....

But remember... I'm not dead... yet *L* oh well... I'm not worried, I know where I'm going!
