An ode to Mothers

These are two poems from my grandmothers; the first is from my grandmother on my mom's side,and it is a lymric that she used to say to my mom alot. And the second is from my grandmother on my dad's side, and she wrote this poem in honor of her mother.

1. Me Mudder

Who took me from me cozy cot
and put me on that cold, cold pot
and made me pee when me could not?
Me Mudder

And when me prayers were poorly said,
who tucked me in me widdle bed
and spanked me 'til me ass turned red?
Me Mudder

And when the morning light would come
and in me crib me dribbled some
who wiped me tiny widdle bum?
Me Mudder

Who looked at me wiff eyebrows drooped
and screamed and yelled 'til she had croup
'cause in me Sunday pants me pooped?
Me Mudder

Who would me hair so neatly part
and hug me gently to her heart
and sometimes squeeze me 'til me fart?
Me Mudder


2. That Age Will Never Dim

You can tell she’s older now,
Her hair is turning gray,
And her cheeks are not as rosy
As upon her wedding day.

But there’s a light within her eyes
That age will never dim,
The love that dwells within her heart
Reflects itself in them.

A maiden fair she must have been
For still those loving smiles
Reveal a mature pure and sweet
Unspoiled by weary miles.

A person who could equal her
I’ve never seen another,
And if you know her you’d agree,
You see, she is my mother!

Many Face Of Jesus Christ

This is a song about some of the different views of who Jesus Christ was, and some pictures I found to illustrate some of the different views. Who do you think Jesus Christ really is? I hope that some of you might leave me a comment and tell me what you think.

Some see a teacher
Standing on a hill
Speaking words of wisdom




Some see a healer
Reaching out his hand
To give sight to a blind man
















Some see a dreamer
Wasting his life
On what can never be















Some see a fool
Dying for his dreams






But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love






Some see a prisoner
Alone before his judge
With no one to defend him















Some see a victim
Beaten and abused
With all the world against him





Some see a martyr
Carrying his cross
For what he believes

















Some see a hero
Who set his people free








But I see love (I see love)
I see love (I see love)
Light of heaven breaking through
Well I see grace (I see grace)
I see God's face (I See Gods face)
Shining pure and perfect loveWhen I see you

With your last breath
I see love
Through your death
I see love
I see peace in the eyes of the king
I see hope in your suffering (I see love)
I see a calm in the center of the storm
I see a Saviour

I see love
I see love
Light of heaven breaking through (heaven breaking through)
I see grace
I see God's face
Shining pure and perfect love
When I see you
I see love
When I see you
I see heaven breaking through
See Gods faceS
hining pure and perfect love
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
I see love
I see love
When I see

Some see Him walking from an empty grave

Overdose victims

I'm sending these graphic picture s of overdose victim s not for shock value, but rather in the hope that you will have a frank discussion with friends and family about respecting moderation, understanding limits, and knowing when to just walk away. Remember...this did NOT have to happen!

Fishies!!!

These are some pictures of creatures that were washed up on shore in Thailand, from the Tsunami. And some of these pictures are creepy enough to make me never want to go in the ocean again.

that can't be healthy

This is why I don't sunbathe.

AWWW :(

That's so sad! :(

Cool homeless dude

I would totally give this guy money, just for being creative.

Just one of those days

This has Got to suck!

Summer Project People

I want to introduce you guys to a group of people from Campus Crusade For Christ here at UNCG. This is a group of the people who were at spring break that are planning on going one 6 week mission trip to different locations over the summer. From the left to the right, Me, Larissa, Jason, Ashlee, Ron Jones, and Kristin. Larissa, Jason, Ashlee, and Myself are all planning on going ona mission trip to East Asia. Kristin is planning on going to Gatlinburg, Tennessee. Ron Jones is on Staff with Crusade. And then we also Have a girl named Melissa who is going to go to Bakersfield, California, and man named Grant who is going to Inner City New York. So keep us all in your prayers, because this is going to be an awesome opportunity for us.

Spring Break

For Spring Break I went on a week long mission trip to Panama City Beach, Florida. I went with Campus Crusade for Christ. It was an amazing week.


This first picture is the hotel we stayed at during the week. Every room is ocean front, and it was a great hotel; very spacious, and very comfortable.







This is the hotel pool. This is the main pool, there was also a kiddy pool, and 2 hot tubs. I spent a lot of our free time in this bad boy.














This is just a glimpse of the many sunsets we saw while staying in Panama City. The view of the Gulf, and the scenery were beautiful.



















This is some of the group that went on the trip. From the right to the left you have Chris, Kristin, me, and Abby. We are hanging out in the ocean after a long day of outreach on the beach.












This is a picture of a group of us who lost a dare game having to eat a heaping teaspoon of cinnamon. I will admit to you this was one of the nastier things I have had to do in my lifetime. I am in the middle of trying not to throw up, and I believe that both Larissa on my right and Andrea on my left are both about to suck cinnamon through their nose. Good times.







Here is a shot of us eating a late dinner at one of the sketchiest restaurants I have ever seen. The Omelet House. I was the only one in the group brave enough to order an omelet, and Chris ( the man in the black shirt at the back of the table) ordered a hamburger and had the bun delivered to him with no burger on it.










This is the head of one of the children of one of Campus Crusade For Christ's staff members named Ron Jones. The heads name is Ron Jones Jr. AKA "little Ron". The boy has pretty eyes doesn't he?


















And this is Ron Jones's other child Emma. She really looks up to us. She's so little and cute.














This was a demonstration some of our guys did one day. We had some guys drag a cross up and down the beach, to put the image into some peoples heads so that they knew what our groups was here for which was to share with the what we believe about God, and Jesus Christ.

We went out on the beach every day, with the goal of engaging people in conversations about spiritual things, and sharing with them the love of Jesus Christ and the sacrifice that he made for us so that we could have a relationship with him.

We administered surveys to people to find out what they thought of God, and Jesus Christ, and spiritual issues, and then if they were interested in knowing what we thought about these things we would share the Gospel of the bible with them, by either Using the 4 Spiritual laws, which I have posted in a previous Blog, or by telling them our personal testimonies of how we came to have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and how he has impacted our lives in amazing ways.

During this week, our group engaged in over 2000 conversations with people, we shared the gospel with over 1100 people, and 71 people accepted Christ as their personal savior this week. I can not think of a better way to have spent my spring break, and I will cherish the memories I have from this trip for a long time.

Beauty of a woman

Hey guys and gals,
I have been reading some of the other posts people have done, and I have seen a number of posts on prejudices and peoples imagery of themselves, and I just thought that some of you might like this email I received. I thought some of the stuff it said was kind of cool.

Facts On Figures: There are 3 billion women who don't look like super models and only eight who do.
Did you know Marilyn Monroe wore a size 14?

If Barbie was a real woman, she'd have to walk on all FOURS due to her proportions!

The average woman weighs 144 pounds, and wears between a size 12-14.

One out of every 4 college-aged women has an eating disorder.

The Models in the magazines are AIRBRUSHED!!! - NOT Perfect!!

A psychological study in 1995 found that 3 minutes spent looking at a Fashion Magazine caused 70% of women to feel depressed, guilty and SHAMEFUL!

An English professor wrote the words: "WOMAN WITHOUT HER MAN IS NOTHING" on the blackboard, and directed the students to punctuate it correctly.

The women wrote: "WOMAN!! WITHOUT HER, man is nothing!"

~~ Beauty of a Woman ~~The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears,The figure she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman must be seen from her eyes,Because that is the doorway to her heart,The place where love resides. The beauty of a woman is not in a facial mole,But true beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It is the caring that she lovingly gives,The passion that she shows. The beauty of a woman With time, only grows..

The Images of Mother
4 YEARS OF AGE - My Mommy can do anything!
8 YEARS OF AGE - My Mom knows a lot! A whole lot!
12 YEARS OF AGE - My Mother doesn't really know quite everything.
14 YEARS OF AGE - Naturally, Mother doesn't know that, either!
16 YEARS OF AGE - Mother? She's hopelessly old-fashioned.
18 YEARS OF AGE - That old woman? She's way out of date!
25 YEARS OF AGE - Well, she might know a little bit about it.
35 YEARS OF AGE - Before we decide, let's get Mom's opinion.
45 YEARS OF AGE - Wonder what Mom would have thought about it?
65 YEARS OF AGE - Wish I could talk it over with Mom. . .

I have always thought that what society says is beautiful is stupid, we set standards for people that no one is going to be able to achieve. If a person is making their decisions about people based on looks, then they themselves are not worth having. I think my girlfriend is a beautiful woman, but that is not why I am with her. I am with her because she is a wonderful woman, who loves the lord, has a wonderful personality, and a loving spirit, and I thank God every day for putting her in my life. And it is a good thing that woman don't base all their desicions on the attractiveness of a man, because if that were the case then tracy certainly would not be with me.
