See the Virgin is delivered
In a cold and crowded stall
Mirror of the Father's glory
Lies beside her in the straw
He is Mercy's incarnation
Marvel at this miracle!
For the Virgin gently holds
The Glorious Impossible
Love has come to walk on water
Turn the water into wine
Touch the leper, bless the children
Love both human and divine
Praise the wisdom of the Father
Who has spoken through His Son
Speaking still, He calls us to
The Glorious Impossible
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Glorious Impossible
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/g/gaither_vocal_band/glorious_impossible.html ]
He was bruised for our transgressions
And He bears eternal scars
He was raised for our salvation
And His righteousness is ours
Praise, oh praise Him, praise the glory
Of this lavish grace so full
Lift your souls now and receive the
Glorious Impossible!
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Glorious Impossible
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Glorious Impossible
Glorious Impossible
Praise, oh praise Him, praise the glory
Of this lavish grace so full
Lift your souls now and receive
The Glorious Impossible
Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah
Glory, Hallelujah

Heaven and The Lord is my Shepard
So I am going to start blogging again regardless if anyone reads it or not. God has been working in my life lately. I was at work and basically had the whole day off at work. We didn't have anything going on so I finished the book "Heaven is for Real." As most of you know I don't like to read, but I really enjoyed this book and when I got done at around 10, I wanted something else to read so I read encounters of other people who have claimed they went to heaven and hell. God revealed Heaven to people who hadn't died (Paul and John). I just got fired up reading this book. I basically read 23 minutes in hell by Bill Wiese. It sounded interesting and if you youtube his testimony it seems believable. He talks about verse after verse regarding his experience. Regardless if you believe in his experience he wants you to believe that hell is real and the main thing he wants is for you to believe in Jesus. Check out this youtube video sometime http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vv8pLUMDVRc .
I got fired up tonight and went to Barnes and Noble and bought 3 books. Traveling Light,The boy who came back from heaven and out live your life. Right now I am reading Traveling light. I highly recommend this book as well! Im going to quote a little bit from chapter two of Traveling Light..this book is based on Psalm 23. "The Lord is my Shepard"
Chapter 2 God's name is Yahweh which means "I Am." God needs no descriptive after "I Am,He is who he says He is. He never changes. He has always been and always will be.
He is unchanging,uncaused, and ungoverned.God never changes, he is a still point in a turning world. We need an uncaused shepard. No one breathed life into Yahweh. No one gave birth to Him. No one caused Him. No act brought him forth and no act can take him out.
This is my favorite part of the chapter its long but so gooood! "Does he fear an earthquake? Does he tremble at a tornado? Yahweh sleeps through storms and calms the winds with a word. Cancer does not trouble him, and cemeteries do not distrub him. He was here before they came. He'll be here after they are gone. He is uncaused. And he is ungoverned. Counselors can comfort you in the storm, but you need a God who can still the storm. Friends can hold your hand at your deathbed, but you need a Yahweh who has defeated the grave. Phiosophers can debate the meaning of life, but you need a Lord who can declare the meaning of life. You need Yahweh.
You don't need what Dorothy found. Remember her discovery in The Wonderful Wizard of Oz? She and her trio followed the yellow brick road only to discover that the wizard was a wimp! nothing but smoke and mirroras and tin drum thunder. Is that the kind of god you need?
You dont need to carry the burden of a lesser god . . a god on a shelf, a god in a box, or a god in a bottle. No, you need a God who can place 100 billion stars in our galaxy and 100 billion galaxies in the universe. You need a God who can shape two fists of flesh into 75 to 100 billion nerve cells, each with as many as 10,000 connections to other nerve cells, place it in a skull and call it a brain. And you need a God who,while so mind-numbingly mighty, can come in the soft of night and touch you with the tenderness of an April snow. You need Yahwh. And according to David, you have one. He is your shepard."-Max Lucado from Traveling Light
So thats what has been going on lately. How there are atheist in the world is beyond me. Life wasn't an accident. God is perfect. By his word He put galaxies into being, by his word he healed the sick.
My brain has been swamped with thoughts and everything.Can't get Him off my mind or the thought of heaven. Many people believe that there is one tree and many branches (Unitarian universalist).
People think Christians are narrow minded since we say Jesus is the only way. Say you invited me over to dinner and you gave me directions to your house and you told me to go South on 65 and turn right on Peytonsville Road and then take a right on Perry road and that your house is the 3rd house on the right and you tell me that is the only way to get your house. And what if I say you know what..I think I am going to go North on 65 and get off at Old Hickory because I think all roads lead to your house thats what I think. Your going to say John I am trying to give you clear directions to my house. God knows where he lives and he has given us clear directions on how to get there and he is specific on his directions.

Life after graduation so far
I graduated college from Ole Miss and now I am about to intern with my dad and brother's company. They are stock brokers. I got a book probably over 1000 pages that I need to study and know. Its going to be a 6 hour test when I take it whenever I take it if I want to work there. A lot of the people up at the office have told me its the hardest test they have ever studied for or taken. That is uplifting! I don't push myself a lot of times but I find myself pushing myself and desiring to know everything I need to know when the time comes to take the test. This is great considering I don't like to read too haha.On to the next thing that has been going on.
My brother asked me if I wanted to run a half marathon and as out of shape as I am I said yes. I can't stand running...never have liked it thats why I quit soccer. I am hoping one day I will love to run. My uncle saw my tweets and recommended me to get running shoes. My shins used to kill me when I run but he recommended going to fleet feet and they see how you walk and measure your foot width and length. I got fitted into Brooks and it makes running so much easier. I love the thoughts that go through my head when I am running and listening to whatever is on my ipod. I have trails from my house that lead to crocket park and its really pretty to run through. I know this is funny but things frustrate me when I am running...for example...I saw a guy probably about 18 years old today while I was running and he was blowing grass off his drive way...this part didn't bother me but the fact that he had on pajama pants a tshirt and (this is what bothered me) a short sleeve jacket..one of those jackets that is really fluffy with a lot of feathers in it. You could use those jackets as a pillow in my opinion.I just felt like punching that guy in the tooth...its like he knew i was going to run that route and he wore that to piss me off! I am dripping in sweat from the run and its really muggy outside and I see him in that and it just messes with my mind haha it makes me even hotter when I am running!
I moved back to Nashville and I am living with my parents until I make a reasonable income to live in an apartment. I have been dating Melissa now for almost 5 months now and things are going great. Its a weird transition not seeing her every day anymore. Something I have to get used to for the next two years as she goes into nursing school starting this August. I hope to see her every two to three weeks if thats possible. Shes going to be busy with nursing school and im going to be busy working.
Its kind of depressing that I don't really know who is in Nashville anymore. If I went to school at UT then I am sure I would have made friends from the Nashville area. All my friends are still in college and in their college towns. IF you read this and are in Nashville call me or text me or facebook me if you want to catch up! I would love your company!
That is it for now!

I am an Ole Miss Alum!
I transferred to Ole Miss three years ago and it is a neat feeling to say that I graduated from the University of Mississippi. I haven't written on here in over 6 months but that is okay since no one reads my posts anyway. God has blessed me in so many ways since November. I am so thankful for my family. My dad paying for my college. I have a lot to be thankful for. I now have a wonderful girlfriend Melissa! I couldn't have asked for a better girlfriend. I met her at a philanthropy she was in charge of for Phi Mu and didn't really talk to her that much there, but how things have changed. I went on a cruise over Christmas which was awesome
Right Now I am sitting at this condo my family is renting out in Panama City Beach! Its really nice. This is the nicest beach I have been to in a while. Navarre Beach is great too, but the beach here is bigger. I finally got Skype. I start my internship in about 2 weeks.
Thats it for now! I should write on here more often!

Whats been going on lately
So...the Ole Miss football season hasn't gone the way I wanted it to or the way I thought it would. Thats Ole Miss sports though..you gotta learn to live with it. Ive been a fan since I was 7 or 8 and I am now 22. I have never seen us go to an SEC championship. Will it happen in my life time? I don't even know. The SEC West is the toughest division in the country in the toughest league in the country. We have to face Bama,LSU,Auburn, and Arkansas every year! Enough with that.
I voted for Artair Rogers for ASB president...big mistake. The ASB is a joke Richard Mccay and Artair Rogers all felt like it was time to get rid of From Dixie With Love..and Chancellor Dan Jones didn't know how to handle the situation at all. If your going to get rid of something don't delay it. Dan Jones is going to see a HUGE rebellion against him and the ASB on saturday in the grove and at the game. I am against students yelling TSWRA, but there could have been several ways to avoid what is about to happen. Now we have the KKK fired up...just what Ole Miss needs. You know the last home game the chant was scattered. What the hell does TSWRA even mean...I mean seriously we all know its not going to rise again. Its nothing mre than a redneck chant. The way the country is going I wouldn't mind if Texas became its own country and the south went with it. Thats another story for another day. All I can say is the 6k students that yell it i guarantee you don't even know what they are yelling...they are hammered drunk and the majority that yell it are not racists. Ole Miss always finds a way to give itself a black eye to the media and America. Name another school that has as many problems as we do. Everything we have is considered racist.
Why don't we just get rid of the name Ole Miss and Rebels and become Manning University Fighting Brothers...if your going to get rid of every symbol then get rid of it...don't take 10 years to get rid of the next thing. First was the flag which I agree we should have gotten rid of, then colonel reb...sorry i think that was silly getting rid of, the american trilogy by elvis, and now FDWL.
What is next...our colors? Thats pretty racist I mean red and blue is the color of the confederate flag. How has Ole Miss lasted this long and Rebels..enough with that I am tired of it and I am tired of people looking at us as a racist school because we are not. We are our own worst enemy...we really are. Its gotten out of hand. Dr. Jones messed up on this and the ASB are complete IDIOTS along with the students the rebelled and yelled TSWRA...there was a better way to resolve this and now its going to get really bad...its going to be interesting to just sit back and watch.
On another note...went to Auburn for the Ole Miss football game and that was a great weekend. I loved the town and the two bars I went to. Quixoties if thats how you spell it and Sky Bar...wish we had Sky Bar in Oxford. It was nice not having to worry about curfew but just enjoy the whole night out. 5 guys...we need that in Oxford...we need alot of things in Oxford haha. I had 40 dollars in my pocket before I went to Auburn and I was like...40 dollars isnt going to take me anywhere (i have plenty of money in my bank account but was deteremined not to use my debit card that weekend)...So I went to Tunica the night before Auburn and came back home that night to Oxford with 300 dollars in my wallet! It was a good night! Made some new friends at Auburn that go to Ole Miss. They really helped me out friday night...I was sitting at toomers corner thinking now what and I remember saying I hope I see someone I know and right when I looked up there they were!
After Auburn I went to Talladega and that was an experience in itself. I should have dressed up like a redneck, but I didn't. Saw plenty of rednecks there and I went to the very front row and felt the debris from the tires. It was crazy I would have been a dead man if they crashed right where I was. Its unbelievable how safe they have made the cars...its still dangerous but whats his face flipped his car like 8 times going 170mph and was able to walk away....I go 50 mph flip my car 7 times in high school and about kill myself. I have never seen so many RVS in my life...its like Bonaroo and Mardi Gras combined x 100,000!!! Not even kidding. I saw some crazy things too haha i 5 year old girl having to carry the cooler of beer for her dad...I took a picture of that on my blackberry!
3 weeks of school left...making the most out of this semester. I am going on a cruise to Guatemala,Belize (i cant wait for Belize...looks unbelievable!!), and Cozymel for Christmas and ill be in the Caribbean for my birthday! Can't wait!

Verse of the Day
Proverbs 7:1-4 My son, keep my words, and treausre my commandments within you. Keep my commandments and live and my teaching as the apple of your eye. Bind them on your fingers; Write them on the tablet of your heart. Say to wisdom,"You are my sister," and call understanding your intimate friend...
