| So i just got my wisdom teeth removed and man.....this vicodin is the bomb! Haha, just playin, it makes me kinda dizzy and dopey...i'm just tryin 2 heal up so i can work out again but i dunno when that'll happen cuz i look like a chubby bunny right now.
Wow getting them pulled was nuts, i've never had nitrous oxide before and it was definately an interesting experience. I was doing lil experiments on myself to test my consciousness and figure out the effects it had on my body. I'll try to describe how high i got off that ish cuz man, I was flyyyyiniingnng...well it actually felt like i was falling but u know what i'm sayin.
Well when it kicked in, I felt that nice comfortable buzzing feeling from like a real good orgasm or something...it was like a prolonged orgasm that lasted a good hour or two, like i said, that ish is the bomb! Hahaha, nah i'm not no nitrous oxide fiend or nothin but yeah it started as the pleasant buzzing sensation go thru my body. I think what the drug did was swap pain with goodness...whenever i felt like my grill should be hurting...i felt more high and good. Those dentist dudes are rough man, i thought they'd be genlty cuttin my teeth out, cuz they call it surgery...dude ended up yankin my teeth out like a savage, straight caveman style. I couldn't feel a damn thing but i could feel that dude yankin on my skull like he was workin on a car or something. It was wierd cuz the drug made my conscious self feel really far away from where the surgery was going on. Its like i knew what they were doing but they were just doing it to my body, and "I" was a good distance away, chillin in this dark universe deep inside my brain. It's like they shrunk me down and disconnected me from my body.. I could feel them yanking on the side of my face and it felt so lifeless, like my cheek was just a piece of sinewy flesh...and that was it. What's interesting is although my consciousness was far away from my body, i could control my body instantly cuz i did tests on my hands. I tried changing tracks on my ipod and since i was so far away from my body, i thought there'd be some delay but i had full and instant control, except i think i was less coordinated and the feelings from my fingertips felt really good. It was definately strange. I just felt like i was on a ride, just floating around in darkness. But yeah, that's how it went and now i'm all chubby, drinkin chicken soup blended up in a smoothie machine, watching chappelle show...good times. Wish me well yal pace,

| Well I woke up for some reason in the middle of the night and couldn't go back to sleep. I couldnt wait til 7 am to start praying so I decided to take a drive up to Mary's Peak, which isabout an hour away to catch the sunrise and do my quiet time there. It was absolutely gorgeous. I had no idea really where I was going but I just trusted that God would get me there and get me there on time, as He did. At times I thought I was lost but I just trusted that where I was going was where He wanted me to be. It was well worth it. When you're far away from mankind, you get a sense of the glory and beauty that God intended us to have. I wish yall were there to see it and hear the chirping of the birds as the sun rose over the mountain. What a wonderful maker.

| Wow how quickly this last month has passed...tonight's my last night here in San Jose with my brothers and sisters on project and what a month it's been. It's so sad to be saying goodbye to this family that I've grown to love so dearly. What a mix of emotions, I feel right now. Part of me mourns the end of an incredible journey toward God's kingdom but another part of me rejoices for the beginning of another revival on my home campus, OSU. I feel so close to everyone here on this project that it almost makes me cry to know that I'll be leaving them soon. What a family this is. Every person here has such a unique and rich personality that I wish I had more time to explore but there is definately an undeniable sense of love that fills my heart whenever I think about the time we've spent together this last month. I wish I could stuff them all into my suitcase and smuggle them into Oregon!
Not only will I miss my ministry family here, but i'll also miss, even more dearly, the people that I've gotten to spend time with on campus. I'm going to miss my biweekly convos with Li because it was so encouraging to see how excited he got about everything that God's been showing him and how his mind just starts racing away on the deep issues of life. It's just so much fun hearing him share his thoughts and feelings about everything. Li, if you're reading this, I'm glad we can still talk online but it's just not the same as when I can see your poofy frosted tipped hair bounce around as you talk. I'm also gonna miss Andrew a lot even though we didn't get to talk too many times. The time we did get to spend together, however, was incredibly enlightening. I could just feel a deep yearning for something greater in life and I think it comes from knowing the pain that life has to offer. Once you see the darkness of the world, you desperately seek the light and I can see that seeking in Andrew. What a powerful experience it was to meet both of these brothers of mine. I'm also gonna miss Landreu a lot and I hope God keeps him strong in his walk. I'm praying that he finds a good source of fellowship so that he may continue to grow as a Christian and understand the deep things of God.
Most of all, perhaps, I'm going to miss the leaders of my summer project. They have changed my life. People use that phrase too lightly these days and when I say it, I mean it to the deepest degree because nothing has impacted my heart and spirit the way that these wonderful men and women of God have. Their love, support, and wisdom, nurtured my spiritual as well as personal growth and I will love them forever. Hahaha, it's funny how when I say goodbye to them, I can't stop hugging them and thanking them for everything they've done for me. They put up with my antics, tolerated my arrogance, encouraged my curiosity, and shared with me God's love. What great examples they were and I'll feebly attempt to follow in their footsteps. You were all incredible mentors and I will love you all forever and I'm missing you all dearly right now, sitting at home in portland. I'm praying that God will intersect our paths again. Thank you for the most wonderful month of my life. I love you all.
Thanks to everyone that supported me and encouraged me in my walk with God. I've learned so much from this last month and I can't wait to share it with you all in person. Much love and thanks to everyone and most of all, to God.

| Here's a poem I wrote about what I think God's love for us is like. It's what I think a letter from God would look like to me.
A Father's Love
My Children, I love you.
But before I tell you what kind of love this is, let me tell you what it isnt
It isn't this human love where you meet someone and wanna make love type love, no
It's not the type of love where I love you when you're up but when you're down, I bounce type love, no
It's not the type of love where I flatter you and inflate your ego even when you're deceitful and evil type love, no
It's not the type of love where I need YOU because I don't have enough of ME type love, no
It's not the type of love that comes with a price where you have to be nice and all that hype type love, no
My love is the type of love where I LOVE YOU even when YOU HATE ME
and disobey me and say things that you know will make me angry type love
My love is the type of love that makes you wanna dance and sing at the top of your lungs because your body can't contain this love type love
My love is the type of love that makes you smile on the inside where people don't just SEE but FEEL how happy you be type love
My love is the type that makes you cry, not cuz you're sad but cuz you can't deny that I want you in my life type love
Even though you don't think you deserve it because you are imperfect,
I didn't put your mother through birth to leave you deserted but rather, because you're worth it.
I love you with all of my being because my being is love and if I stopped being love, you'd stop believing in love because love is me and I am IN LOVE with YOU!
Isn't it beautiful, That everything I have I'd give to you?
I'd endure all pain to show you that my love is true and it continues
beyond all you can imagine
beyond what you can fathom
because, my child, you are still a child
and I can see things that you cannot see
you'll thank me when you're older
but you don't believe me til it's over
but PLEASE! Just trust that I have your best interests in mind
I'd never leave you behind because YOU are MINE!
You are MY child.
You are a part of me and I don't know what I'd do if I lost you
so please, just listen for a minute
I wanna give you freedom with some limits
so you can roam free and grow into your own being
but all i want is for you to return home to me!
Is that too much to ask?
I know your future, present, and past
and I'm here to give you the wisdom you lack
you know I'm willing to cut you some slack
but all I ask is that you love me back, no strings attached.
So until you return, I'll be on the steps
waiting for you to come back to the home that you left.
With love,
Dad.
