Okay, the Update

I just now got convicted by the Holy Ghost, cuz i was a lil aggrivated that my boy T-Berry had not posted in a lil while, well guess who else has been slackin?  Yeah me.  Well here is an update. 

After getting back from Submerge,  recovering from 4th of July and VBS  I have been moving here and there.  I  home sat for Gena and Toby Bohl,  stayed a few more days lookin for the next avaiable living quarters, then I talked to my friend Mr. Patrick Cox,  no relation to Cox Cable or that haha.  And just this week my good friend and former roommate Blake Prudhoumme asked me if I want to get an aparty with him.  He quickly got on the ball and started lookin, which is better than me.  I have become a procrastinator,  I hate that.  Anyway we got one today and it is nice.  Just about 10 minutes to the church.  Better yet, it is in-expensive.  $600.00 rent for a two bdrm.  It will be nice gettin my flag back on the wall and my mattress to sleep on with a decent place to keep my clothes and all.  It will be home again.

In other news.  yeah I just keep puttin out the songs and poems.  I have just recently written four.  Lyrics that it.  I have the tune in my head, but here are some titles and a few lines.

One,  not u2’s but from Ephesians 4

Searching, a rock song

Hope,  it is for our Hope Cambodia missions thrust.

I do have a couple U2 type songs

On the Move, which this blog is named after and my life story, haha.

Lay it down.  just a lil poetic licence to change up some words, but all credit to Bono and U2 for the thoughts and the tune.  Just from Love and War.

That is it. Til lata

I am On the Move

Fourth of July memories

The Independance of our Nation.  the Revolutionary War.  Fireworks, the Flag of the United States of America.  This is what we think of when 4th of July comes to our minds, Oh yeah, sometimes, summer trips, times with family, baseball games and Wimbeldon.  WOW. 

My memories are of my family, my parents, my father Mitch E McLaughlin who passed away on July 4th of 90.  He died in his sleep of a massive heart attack  He was great.  I will never forgot all he sacrificed for our family.  A lil history of Mitch E McLaughlin,  He was born in 1932 on April 14th.  He graduated from High School only to go into being a marine with WWII.  He landed at Nagasaki and Hiroshima after the bomb.  He lived and survived many years.  He married my mom, Priscilla A Moore in June 11th of 1952,  They had a great and wonderful marriage.  I thank God for growing up in a strong home.  I came along in October 5th of 1965, yeah, I’m older than y’all but, I am definitly young in my mind and heart.    I remember my parents taking me on a mountain climbing trip just weeks after my broth Jim accidently broke my finger and a lil of my wrist. oh well.  We went mountain climbing up some tough paths, only to find the place that we were hoping to eat lunch at burned to the ground.  Oops. plan B, sack lunches. 

We moved to Texas just a few years later and that is where I grew up the most, went to grade school, Junior High and high School.  We had storms come through but we faired well.  I got to see my dad in action alot and he got me where I was to have the most fun,  Sports and sports. I began working with my High School football team at first.  My mom and dad came to most every game.  Home or away.    I graduated from High School and started college where my sister was going at Sam Houston State, then I transferred to Alvin Community College and finally to East Texas Baptist University.   The summer just before my senior year.  I was working at a camp, when on the 4th of july, my boss called me over, early after breakfast to break the news of my dad’s passing.  I was crushed but I went home briefly for his funeral.  I had to be the strong one.  my sister loved my dad greatly and would miss him the most.  I could only comfort and consoul her. 

Heidi and I would begin to be the best of friends, whereas before we would fight like cats and dogs.  yeah messy. 

I know that my parents are with Christ, they shared Christ with me along with our Pastor and the childrens pastor.  I am my parents and sister would be baptised just a week after I became a Christian.  Thank God for great and loving parents.

Living what ya preach

Yeah, sometimes its hard to do but living what ya preach has its bonuses when ya do it.  I just finished emailing my boys and friends my latest installment of my series, Live Life on Faith,  Faith to Move.  Well, I am doing this, literally.  Moving here and there, haha.  Stepping out in faith to find a new home.  A place to call home and live for awhile.  Where I am now, is staying at the Bohl’s house, House sitting and dog sitting.  Keeping their boxer, tiffany company while relaxing and waiting to see where he will lead next. 

I pray that God will continue to bless my writings and that I keep my annointing safe from the attacks of the enemy.  I have written much this summer.  Devos, songs, poems and other stuff.  WOW,  I really want to continue to see God use me here and prepare me to go and share Christ with others, wherever he desires.  I really hope to do missions in the future.   If it be in Brazil, Dominican Republic, Indonesia, or Aussie some day,  I long to go and do what and where He shows me.

Keep moving with Him, its the only way to go.

Submerge, How to describe it?

Well I am back from Destin and Submerge, did ya miss me?  Prolly not cuz those who read this are most likely at Submerge, except for those out of state and out of country.

Submerge, How to describe it justly?  Awesome. totally awesome.  Great time with my boys.  I had the Seniors and those just graditated.  Jordan G, Micky M, Cody B, the two Phillips, Leblanc and Kelly, or as we  call him, Philly Cheese Steak, Salem, and Jake Prewitt.  Great guys. 

The services were really good,  the food, yeah okay, but we did have an upgrade to make our own for lunch and breakfast.  By the way Phillip and Jake were baptized Saturday morning and so was my other phone, haha. 

Rev Spike did great and worhsip was slamming.  Friday night was too awesome to describe, Prayer, prayer, prayer. more worship. more prayer.  We prayed for stuff to be released, to go deeper, higher and to move forward.  We prayed for the souls of those coming to Christ.  We prayed over the kids, young men and women to start and uprising.   We prayed for our leaders, youth pastors and worship leaders. God was doing great things.    He still will, Keep following Him, Stay on the move with Him.

When we were not in service or eating or sleeping, oh yeah our villa was truly great, pics coming soon.  We went bike riding all over the huge campus.   Way too big.  Went to the beach, of course and then went and checked out these huge yaughts.  Way too much money to spend on one thing. 

Life is good, now where am I gonnna live next?  Time will tell.
