The up-the-sleeve blog    

My struggles in my walk, and my difficulties in my life fleshed out for all to see. I dont have all the answers(even though i once had claimed i did), and i pray that i never will. May my words glorify the Maker and the Savior who made me and died for me. -Andy

So. What's new? Not much. At least here inside the Carson-Newman Bubble. Pray for me, because i have some doubts and feelings that i'm dealing with. Those who know know what i'm talking about, and those that dont, dont worry about it, because i'll let you know what's going on if/when that time comes. So, the sox are no longer in the series. I hope and pray that the Yankees(Satan's team) lose in 6 to the Marlins. As it should be. I'm playing again at New City at their singer-songwriter night, which is always exciting. Dont really have any new material to report, but i soon will start posting some of my lyrics on the appropriate page, and my contact information on its appropriate page. I dont have any of my songs recorded for demos, so i guess what you'll have to do(if you want me to come play) is either give me a call and let me play some of my stuff for you, or come out to New City and give a listen. Grace and Peace, Andy

You know what, Joe? You can hush. Cause i'm back. Maybe not better than ever. But i'm back nontheless. I really should be in bed right now, but, i'm sitting here on the computer writing. Great things happened tonight. The Red Sox won again, bringing the series to 2-2. I'm sure more great stuff happened tonight, but i dont think it matters in comparison to the Yankees getting beat at Fenway. Yeah...this morning, i slept through my O.T. class for the 4th time. And i hate myself for it. It's like my favorite class, and i sleep through it. It pisses me off because i want to be in that class everyday to learn as much as i can from Dr. Garner, and i'm not. Pray for me. Pray that i will get out of whatever funk i'm in that causes me to do stupid things in regard to my schoolwork. I dont just want to get by, i want to excel. I want to learn, because there's so much i dont know, and if i dont use my brain and my talents to their fullest abilities, not only am i cheating myself, but i'm making a fool of the gift that Christ has given me. Pray that i wont be closed eyed and closed hearted and closed minded. I want to open up the window but leave the screen on, so to speak. Pray that i will read more. Pray that i will love. Not just the ones i'm supposed to(yoke kids, my friends, my family, my girlfriend), but my enemies, the ones i despise on sight for their hypocrysy and apathy. Because i need to be worrying about the log in my own eye. And just the same, i pray for you. I dont neccesarily know who you are, but i pray that Christ uses this in some way to touch you...and it may not be this, but it may be that you look outside, or around you as you go through your day, and something takes your breath with its beauty. The same God that created that beauty in nature is the one who created and redeemed you, and holds you as His prized possession, above all else in creation. Grace, Peace, and sweet sweet Love be upon you all. For life is nothing without Love.
