Tornado's
So I'm not sure if I'm the only that feels this way but, i do not like tornado's and i really don't like how they have torn our area apart. Now I'm all for sitting out in a thunderstorm and watching the weather but, as soon as I see the funnel cloud or hear that siren, I feel like a run faster than the fastest man on earth. I honestly can't see how someone can drive around in a truck with a camera and chase them. But hey, I respect those guys that do that! Because I sure don't have the guts to do that! But I will say that I feel extremely blessed to not be seriously injured. I was complaining about a tree falling on our sun room and crushing until i heard about the damage that had taken place in Alabama and all the death that came with the tornado's. I'm extremely blessed and feel really bad for the people in Alabama. One more thing before I go. Am i the only one that thinks God watches over McKenzie and especially Bethel University. They told us about all these hard storms that were supposed to crush us and they either went above us, below us, or both at the same time. It really makes me think this because of the storms on Monday afternoon. The funnel(from what the weather forecasters said) was about to touch down in Trezvant and tore them and was heading our way all of a sudden went away and turned into a thunderstorm warning, and once it got past us it turned back into a tornado and hit Henry and Paris pretty bad. It just completely jumped over us. In my opinion that is ALL God!!!!

Bittersweet Feeling
well, this spring is the last spring I'll ever have for college football for the rest of my life. Yes, it feels good to be closer to being done with my college career but at the same time i don't want it to end because I've had an enormous amount of fun. The thing that had went wrong was the fact that i was complacent during the first part of my career and didn't soak everything up and focus and play like i should have been. There have been so many things that have gone right. I've made a new family in my coaches and teammates. I grew up without a father and i didn't have any brothers so to me it's like i look at all of my coaches like father figures and every single one of my teammates are like my brothers. We are always there for each other. The thing that I would change would be my work ethic that I had in the beginning of my career. Even though i started every year even as a freshman I still didn't work hard in the weight room or on the field and i truly regret that.I believe that a lot of people see how I've changed and people see that I've changed for the better.

The Lord Works in Strange Ways
Ive had an incredible experience to post about. I have finally gotten my life back with Christ and it feels so amazing. What had went wrong with my situation is that i wasn't living a good life at all. Going out and partying all weekend, not doing the right things I should as a person and just being a all around horrible person. The thing that had went right is that Christ had jumped back in my life and it's really great. He is a life changer and is starting to mold my life in every single aspect of it. I wouldn't change one single thing about the experience that i had just went through, because everything bad that had happened in my life before i came to Christ was only used to make me stronger and make me a better person. I feel like the view from others will be good and also will be bad. There will be some that will be able to use my testimony and come to Christ also and will see that he forgives and wipes a clean slate for all of the sins that you have indulged in. But on the flip side, there will also be people that judge and say you know i saw him out in the club and bars 3 weeks ago being drunken and lusting after women and think that Christ couldn't completely change my life like that. The overall positive perspective has been nothing short of amazing. Christ just moves in so many ways that it's indescribable.

Flat Tire
I dont know about anyone else, but i can speak for myself and say that I absolutely hate flat tires. You can go from a amazing day to a pretty crappy day just because of a tire. It was a beautiful day last week when i decided to go fishing. I get to my fishing whole, have a great day with the fish. I'm bringing them in left and right. My day couldn't get any better. As i go to leave i see that my tire is sitting on the rim. needless to say my day immediately got bad. Not only was i out in the middle of nowhere with no service, i also realized that i didn't have a spare. i had to walk to where i had service and then call a friend to come get me. NOT fun at all! I guess i could pay more attention while im driving and not run over random things laying in the road.

Come on man!
Do you know what really frustrates me? All the bandwagon fans that we have for the superbowl. We all know that everyone pulls for the underdog but people are just taking it to far. Yes i know that the Green Bay Packers are kind of like a cinderella story but its going way to far with songs like green and yellow and all the green and yellow attire that everyone is all of a sudden wearing. Dont jump on a teams back just because their in the superbowl. Its good that the packers are playing in the superbowl finally without Brett Favre, but they are no match for the Steelers anyway. Come on man!
