SOJ UPDATE:

Got back from the first big event of the SOJ yesterday, Creation.

Wow, what a trip, while i had to play the role of "responsible leader" most of the week, i still had a lot a fun.  Only went to 3 concerts, Skillet, Pillar and 12 stones.  But i really only wanted to see 12 stones, so it was fine.  I had fun cooking again this year, i don't think anyone can make grease fires like me.  But what made the week so special was that i got to spend it with my emma :)

And in other news I'M BROKE cuz my car needed a new front flow pipe thing or something but all i know is that it was a $300 bill.  But at least my car will hopefully make it to Illinois.

The next trip is only a few hours away and i still have to get ready.

Below is a writing by Andrew Schwab, the lead vocalist for Project 86. 

"And Last, But Not Least..."

On this very day I fell apart

Before heaven

On sandy knee

Knowing that the desert

Isn’t where I want to be

I have been here long enough

Father

I am ready for the oasis

To become reality

To drink the wine, the water

Straight from your cup

Instead of only dreaming

Of the day

The rain will come

I would like to ask you all

To forgive me

For giving in so many times

Time and Time again

I just don’t have any strength left

To continue with the burden on my own

But I know

In the end

The only thing worth fighting for

Aching for

Debating for

Screaming for

Awaking in the morning for…

Is heaven

And the friend who awaits us

Let these pages serve as a reminder

That the deepest pit is only a lesson

To prove that eternity

Is on the horizon

It's just simply amazing how someone i never met can write lyrics and other writings that speak straight to my heart and point out every single flaw and good thing about me
