what matters
I've been thinking about what matters tonight.
Zach, you rock. I put a link to our music up for people to listen to now on Myspace.
I am grateful to God for all the things in my life. Yes, I have my problems, we all do. But I've gotten to write a published computer book, make a music video that won an award in Hollywood, make my own computer game and have over 10,000 people download it. I've seen the Atlantic and the Pacific and Israel and Ireland. I sailed on the Sea of Galilee where Jesus walked on water, and it was beautiful. I saw the actual Book of Kells. I've held a live Komodo Dragon egg. I've sung with a choir in Bethlehem on Christmas Eve, to over 20,000 people. I won a 500 mile road race against 50 other cars. I've gotten to make a difference in the lives of the students I have taught. I was married to a woman with the prettiest eyes in the world. I have seen miracles, people healed, and been healed myself. I have felt the touch of God, and know that he loves me. I've had people ask for my autograph. I got to help a homeless person get a condo, even if only for a short time. I have felt the awesome passion in a kiss. I have made so many wonderful friends, and seen them sacrifice for me. I have been defeated and wanted to die and yet lived through it.
For all these things, I am grateful. I often focus on how I want someone to share adventures with, but I want to say thank you to my friends and family. Thank you to the couple who gave me the money to go to Israel. Thanks for the friends who were there when I wanted to die. Thanks Aubrey, for being my wife, even though it didn't work out. Thanks Lindsay for inviting me to be your navigator for the road rally. Thanks Kris even though I can't talk to you anymore. Thanks Fairy for everything. Thanks Mom and Dad and Julie, my sister for being my family. I know I'm broken a little inside and I don't think straight sometimes, so thanks for my friends who put up with me this way. Thanks, all my good friends at Fans for Christ, I'm not worthy to lead such a ministry. Thanks to my friends at Gothic Christianity, and to Daniel for putting up with my smart remarks. Thank you Gwenny for putting up with my craziness. All these things are gifts from God and I've had a good life so far, even the painful parts, because when you feel pain you know you are truly alive.
