My New "Friend'

So here is the latest news about my personal life. I recently started meeting up with a girl from Granite city. My parents have known her parents since I was born. After I was born they moved to Texas. So a few months ago I decided to get back in contact with her. Long story short, I have a girlfriend. I was blown away when I got permission from her dad. Her dad is a pastor a City Temple in Granite City. Her name is Tiffany Cope. This has been a huge change in my life. I have to keep in mind that God is most important. I told her that on sunday because she said that she did not want me to leave. But, I told her that our personal relationship with God is far more important. We cant hinder our relationship with God over ours. Its just not worth it. Satan could use this against,a distraction.

Stupidity at it's most.

Well, this past weekend I went on the Royal Ranger campout. Well, I was VERY VERY STUPID. Here is the story. Last Friday my brother Nathan, Luke, Aaron, and Kaleb decided to walk around the camp at 12:45 when everybody is asleep. Well, a few people had an idea, (not pointing fingers) to walk all the way to Highland walmart. So we did. We walked five miles round trip. We walked through many fields and through a grass field that is up to my stomach. When we got to Walmart and was getting ready to buy our mountain dew, the cashier said "Should you guys be in bed." Luke said,"We are having a morning jog for football camp" Oh by the way at this time it is 2:18 and we don't play football. Well we took the short way back to camp. We decided to walk on the side of the highway. When we got back no one knew where we had went. We did it without getting in trouble. Well, I was feeling guilty, because we were not suppose to leave. That next night(Saturday) we decided to tell my dad. WOW! HE WAS SO MAD I THOUGHT HE WAS GOING TO GET THE BOW AND ARROWS FROM THE COMMANDERS AND SHOOT ME. Come to find out we had alot of mercy. First, We were out pass legal cerfue. Second, we are all minors. Third, We could of gotten aressted. Fourth, we could of gotten hit by a drunk driver. God's grace was truly on us. He blessed in the mist of us doing something wrong. He really is an awesome mercyfull God. I will never do that again
