Warning About My Knee
So on Sunday I injured my meniscus playing frisbee and that night it swelled up and I lost a lot of motion in my right leg as well as causing a lot of pain when I tried to straighten my leg. Anyway, It wasn't any better on Tuesday and I was really bummed beacuse I'm supposed to go hunting this weekend, which requires a lot of walking at which I was limited. But I iced it twice and I've been resting it and today when I woke up it felt better and I have some of my movement back and I can straighten it more. Praise be unto God, my healer. And continue to to pray that it will heal up completely before we go and that I won't have any pain in the future. I love you all.

Warning Of A Rescue
In times of trial, when all I know is fear
I'm sinking in the mire, and the waters swallow me
And the flood sweeps down, and I just can't hear
My throat is parched, my eyes they grow dim
I'm weary from crying
Oh Lord, mighty are those who destroy me
And those who attack me with lies
You come to my rescue, my rescue
You're my rescue, rescue
You are my comfort
You are my right hand
You are my fortress and I run to you
And then You take me in
And then You lift me up again
You come to my rescue, my rescue
You're my rescue, rescue
I'm sinking in the mire, and the waters swallow me
And the flood sweeps down, and I just can't hear
My throat is parched, my eyes they grow dim
I'm weary from crying
Oh Lord, mighty are those who destroy me
And those who attack me with lies
You come to my rescue, my rescue
You're my rescue, rescue
You are my comfort
You are my right hand
You are my fortress and I run to you
And then You take me in
And then You lift me up again
You come to my rescue, my rescue
You're my rescue, rescue

Warning Of A Sellout
I am an idiot, too lazy to think twice
I point the finger, and I can't take my own advice.
I put a name on something and ever since,
I've made an art of building my counterfeit intelligence.
Seemingly to me,
I am straightening a world of cluttered thoughts
and a debris inside my head,
but I think instead of prejudiced
and I give people names to make me feel safe.
I am an idiot, too lazy to think twice
I point the finger, and I can't take my own advice.

What is economic status, and tell me what is race?
who decides to Classified taxonomy of grace?
If one man gets less that another is it true,
that he is all that different,
that he is less than you?
I point the finger, and I can't take my own advice.

Warning Of A Pained Heart
Mouth full of words,
Words full of nothing,
I always want something
I say to be important
but I never meet my goal.
Everything I say is purely subjective
Meaning has forsaken me
Always talking;
never saying anything.
In a conversation,
I find the silence annoying,
just ‘cause I don’t want to be boring
Making empty conversation,
using empty words.
Always talking,
never saying anything.
I finally get the time
the be alone, just me and you
Always talking, never saying anything new
Making empty conversation,
using empty words.
I know that I'm dreary,
Of myself, I've become weary.
Always talking,
never saying anything.
If this isn’t true please tell me,
it’s what I see inside me
(more later)

Warning Of Something New
I just thought I would throw this out there: If anyone has a prayer request, please tell me. You can post it here or e-mail me directly. I would really like to help in anyway I can, and sometimes all I can do is pray and wait.
God is doing a work in all of us, and we will come out better for it if we follow His plan. (Romans 8:28)

Warning Of A Funk
When Rachel told me the details of what happened to Bonnie I felt so bad. I'm really sorry Bonnie that this had to happen, and I wish there was something I could do to help. It's really not fair. I haven't forgotten about you, but I've had a lot on my mind recently. I'll be praying for you.
One more thing, I love your new blog. And on that note, Mom is being so irritating, she won't let me visit blogs, post anything online, visit my FIF forum, or do anything. It's really annoying!

A Midnight Dreary (A Warning of Promises)
Hey there, all you John Fans. Yes I'm back for a while and I hope that you will enjoy the lastest post on my blog. I hope it will be substantial and full of thought provoking ideas. Anyway, on to life.
Lately I've been pretty upset with Mom for not giving me the freedom that I would like, but God has given me a peace about the whole situation. I know that anything God ordains, no man can put asunder (Matthew 19:6) . Mom doesn't want Rachel and I to be friends, I don't really know why. But I was really upset because Rachel is the greatest friend I've ever had to this day. But like I said, He has given me peace and an assurence about this whole thing. Also, we stopped by there house and got found and were super busted. I want to be on right standings with Mom, so I'm going to be obeying her explicitly for some time.
Frisbee: What more do I need to say? Haven't played in a few days and I'm in need of a UF fix. So, I've organized a game tonight and I hope it's gonna be cool. I've also been really wanting to play in the rain. I Love the Rain.
Yesterday I borrowed 8 Manga from Elizabeth and stayed up 'til 11:15 reading all of them. I really like them; D•N•Angel. While reading them I got some really strange insights into real life as well as some weird applications to my life and relationships.
I've decided that I'm going to be working out. Not anything really hardcore, but I've begun running as well as doing push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups, and curls. Biking and frisbee, as well, are still some of my favorite things to do. Listening to Five Iron a lot too. Still my favorite band in the world. But I want to get the new Roper CD. But I don't really have the money or the permission to do so, so I'll be holding off for awhile, if not forever.
Another thing, I have now been officially stood up...twice. You think I would learn my lesson. Now you're thinking that I'm going to say: This person doesn't like you. But no, the lesson I've learned it that Rachel likes to sleep in and isn't so great at waking up early. *GRIN* On the subject of relationships, there is a girl at my church named Julie who I think is really cool but Rachel thinks likes me. I'm not really doubting Rachel's intuition, but I've never been the one in the family to get girls to like me. I'm not trying either but I guess with this new physique also come new attractions. I don't know, I'll just have to find these things out.
I really don't know what the title is all about, I kinda just picked it because it sounded cool. Anyway, right now I feel really good, just to let you know all you who care about me.
Oh, one more thing. On the 29th I'll be heading out with Evan, Granpda, and Uncle Fred to hunting camp '05. We all have tags so I hope that there will be enough enough animals and I hope we all have luck. To all you who pray for me, thank you so much. I love all you, and I am thinking about everyone and keeping you all in my prayers as well.
That'll be all for now, Love you All.

My Path Is Paved With Daggers
~On the heights all paths are paved with daggers.~ Seanchan saying.
Right now I really want to write something, but I can't concentrate and there is so much flying around. I feel like I've never felt before. I do things I've never done before. I know things I've never known before. I'm not the same as I was before. I've got to be careful with what I say and do. I don't want to hurt anyone, I don't want to mess up or fail. I want to help, I don't want to bring down. I want to encourage but I don't want to 'father.'
Next subject. Getting back into school isn't as bad as I was thinking it might be. I'm actually a little excited to be doing Calculus and the actually be able to figure things out AND understand them. I do miss sleeping in and having free time all day, though. Now I can't ride over the the Mortimer's whenever I want; I've got to wait until after school gets out. I'm doing pretty well, though, considering the circumstances. Running every morning (Hey, I said I ran, I didn't say I was fast), schooling, riding my bike, reading, loosing a ton of extra weight, gaining some very welcome muscle, and pretty much having a great time with my friends and with life. Earlier today I was looking at the powerpoint presentation that was shown at my dad's memorial service; I really like looking at old pitures. Not only does it help me remember who he was it helps me to see what kind of pictures I need to take so that the memories I'm making right now will last forever. But AARGGH! Sometimes things just get so frustrating, for example, some of friends (cough cough) won't let me take pictures of them and so I barely have any of some of the people closest to me. I mean, how am I supposed to remember all the great and glamourous times we had together if I don't have photo records? So everyone, please let me take pictures of you and us together. So when we all go our seperate ways, I can still remember all the good and bad times that we went through as friends and brothers and sisters. I love all you guys.
When I started writing this I had nothing to say, but as is the way with me, if I start things happen and I'm off to something great.

Life
Sorry for not posting more. Everything going on in my life right now is definitely not postable material.
I've played frisbee so much this past two weeks or so. I'm so bruised; it;s not even funny! You guys should see me.

Ultimate
I played the ultimate game today and did quite well. I realize that I receive quite a bit of praise for being as good as I am. I don't how good that is, but apparently the team that has me on it thinks it can win. I like receive praise but I don't want to ever get cocky, arrogent, or vain. I did hurt myself though, so that should keep my head out of the clouds. Right now my right shoulder and my hip are hurting and will probably be sore tomorrow. I have also taken on a new nickname: Uller. The Norse god or archery, death, winter, skiing, and more. You can call me that if it pleases you. Going to bed now, good night world.
