all in all. this spring break was a great time to just sit back and do fun things with some of my best pals. i guess your a young life leader when some of your closest friends are still in high school. thats just how it goes.

there's a song called distraction by angels and airwaves. if you don't know it, then listen to it. its fantastic. the chorus sings "i'll be your distraction". what are we going to let be our distraction? this brings me to the next point. girls. man, sometimes i wish i had one.

in all seriousness, how does it feel to take a lukewarm shower? you know, where the temp is on the brink of being too cold, but there's a little bit of warmth that's keeping you still standing in the shower? it's not even enjoyable! lets apply this to life. because everyone lives a lukewarm life. if Jesus stopped you in your car, in the middle of the highway, and said 'follow me', how many would first pull your car off to the side of the road? who wouldn't even care about the car? who would step out of a materialistic world and into a super-naturalistic eternity? now don't just read those options and automatically say 'well obviously i wouldn't care about the car, i would definitely be stepping into eternity'. actually think about what you would do. this has happened before.
"as they were walking along the road, a man said to him, 'I will follow you wherever you go.' Jesus replied, 'foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.' He said to another man, 'Follow me.' but the man replied, 'Lord, first let me go and bury my father.' Jesus said to him, 'let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.' still another said, 'i will follow you, lord; but first let me go back and say good bye to my family.' Jesus replied, 'no one who puts his hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.'" (luke 9:57-62)
why do we find things of this world to outweigh the Thing not of this world.
"set your mind on things above, not on earthly things" (col 3:2)
coming back in some form or fashion of what you would call a 'full circle', these things leave me thinking about death. more importantly what would i die for? a man once said he would give his life for a youth revolution. he died later that day, and through a song about him thousands are saved. a man was giving a eulogy and said "you never know when God is going to take your life. at that moment, there's nothing you can do about it. are you ready?" am i ready? i find myself standing in a lukewarm shower of what i like to call my life and asking myself if i'm ready? ready to face Jesus. the man giving the eulogy, sat down after saying those words..fell to the ground..and died. am i ready?

"eyes swollen, fading, and weak..these eyes, they still know me"
