It has been a while since I have been able to sit and use the internet. Things have been pretty busy around here now that I am approaching the end of my stay at the Dream Center. In some ways I am excited to get back home and see family and friends, but at the same time, I would also love to continue traveling. I originally took this trip to not only get away from the everyday, but also to seek God and direction in my life. So even though I don't feel that I have a clear cut answer to life's questions, I do feel that there are certain inspirations that God has placed in my heart I need to follow. I feel the most alive when I am on the road meeting new people and seeing new places. Even when I was in the band traveling around the country playing shows, or building homes in Guatemala. As soon as I am home, I am ready to go again. I hear from so many people that they wish they would have traveled more when they were younger. Even today while I was on one of the ministries a guy said to me, "I wish I did this when I was your age...I am 58 now." I don't want to be one of those guys. So I made the decision that during the summer of 2010, I am going on a trip to Europe. I know that it is pretty far in advance to plan, but I have other things that need to be taken care of before I can go. Until then I will continue doing smaller trips and enjoying life. There will be more to follow on this subject.
As for "Blood Meridian", It has been a very interesting book so far. It takes place in the old west where you can still make money scalping people. I have not been able to just dive into the story as I could with his other works, but I am really getting in to it. The only warning I would give so far would have to be the graphic descriptions of the dead and soon to be dead. When describing a scene, he leaves no question to what someone or something looks like.
Grace be with you

i love you and all ur plans
I love you too Tony Thought
i will continue reading your writing, and i will continue enjoying you as a person, but if you spoil a book in any way, i will suffocate you with your own foot. i think you should probably become a missionary....well....once you become a christian, THEN you should become a missionary.
I do not ever plan on spoiling a book. If for any reason I do, I will warn whoever is reading first. I figured that I could give at least a little bit of an idea of what the book was about and if I think it is good.
As for the whole missionary thing...only time will tell.
Same goes for the Christian thing too.
