ok guys...im still kinda getting used to this whole blog thing, so we will give it one more try.

life is an awesome subject to write about but thats what i am gonna be focusing on today...today i am going to be writing about my favorite person in the world! i will give you one guess...well if you have guessed then that is awesome if not then you should get to know her.

she has been my shining star, and the one of life! she has been there for me when no one else has. she always has a smile on her face, and is always there for a hug. SHE IS AWESOME! and to this day i am still wondering why she picked me...she is so awesome! MAN I LOVE HER! she is not just a slice of heaven but try the WHOLE cake!

she astonishes me everyday. She is taking honours classes in high school, and takes a community college math class worth 5 credits, now thats gotta mean something! she does the kids church ministry at our church and she also participates in high school activities, i swear if i didn't know her i would say she is a machine! the girl is "ALL THAT!"

Im the luckiest guy in the world to have her! and if she is reading this just know that I WILL LOVE YOU FOREVER... I WILL LOVE YOU ALWAYS...
I LOVE YOU!!!

this week has been very difficult, because of people and relationships. people can be fake, non-loving, and totally stab you in the back...sometimes you wonder why people can be like this, and are we a race that just does that? right now there is a guy that doesn't like me very much, because i got together with the girl he liked, but the only problem was she liked me and not him. i can say this because i know he won't read it! even though he said he would! same with the girl i am dating dad probably won't even read it! even though he said to leave my address so he could read it.

i have been very frustrated with people and how people do things...i just hurt. but you know life will go on....

if life was like a hurricane then we would know exactly where we were at all times...right in the eye of the storm constantly being bombarded by ideas, forces, and others. personally this week i have been rpesented with a lot of situations that present barriers for me, and have shown me a way to get away from all of this. but i have stuck to it, and worked my way through it even though i am no where close to being out of the storm.

i have heard a lot about guys treating their girl like crap. that is a very depressing thought! have we lost love? have we lost what it means to have a relationship? most guys want the physical part of the relationship, but that comes in time...but the keyword there is relationship. most people don't want a relationship. this is how low we have sunk...i was talking to this girl who is new at our school, and she asked me if i didn't ahve a girlfriend would i have hit on her? i said, "no because i would want to get to know you better first. it makes the relationship stronger, and first off coming to you not even knowing your name and asking you on a date jsut means im interested in your body!"
and she said, "you are totally right! did somebody teach you that or id just natural? i wish more guys knew about that! cuz that is exactly right."

men, have we sunk that low? have we lost the relationship part of our lives? now most of you are probably saying to yourselves what a dusche! but i get that all the time cuz im different, and it is very hard to be a guy like this in the world of today....most of the readers that had started this column have probably gave up on it, but those that are still reading thank you for reading, and even if you didn't like it i hope i could of encouraged you in some way.
thx.

Today is a friday! The last day of most peoples working schedules. The day when most people hang out with friends, go to partys, and do whatever THEY wanted to do...what did God do on a friday? His only son died on a friday. on a cross that wass full of splinters, and had a sign on the top that said, "here is Jesus king of the jews". He didn't party with friends, he didn't relax, and he certainly didn't do what he wanted to do!
to most people that would of been a disgrace...but to him He was proud to die on that cross! He was proud to bear the pain and suffering that was afflicted on His earthly body, just for us.

Jesus Christ had been on this earth about 33 years before good friday. So He certainly knew about the attitudes, customs, thoughts, and pride of people that lived in that era (not giving Him credit of him being God). He died naked, and beat, and shamefully to most men...but Jesus did one of the most hounorably things a human being could ever do; He died for His fellow men! most men would never even think about that.

Christ died with the upmost respect and ultimate love anyone has ever known...thats just something to think about while you are on top of the world this friday. Just think about who gave you that friday, and who gave you that very breath, and that concious to think about what you have done to save the people next to you, and give them...THEIR FRIDAY

hello all you people! this is my first blogg...so send a response my way and tell me what you thought. thx.

well my name (as you probably know) is tj. i go to Paradise Valley high school, and love baseball. i had practice this morning, and was productive about my time. (thinking) "wow...what are you supposed to write about if you don't even know these people? blogging...why not send them an email? why not even give them a call? but blogging? hmm...what kinda name is that? blogging...seriously! i mean they have come up with reasonable names like Instant messaging! that name makes perfect sense! You send a message in an instant. INSTANT MESSAGING! And we all get the term SNAIL MAIL!"

So what do we write about? how much we love God? (Amen) how much we love someone? (Amen) How much we love food? ( AMEN!!)
jk...well i may not know you but i l0ve you all, and would love to know you more!
Livestrong,
