Kody....
ok, something happened that kinda made me a bit upset, but the more i thought about it, the upsetness(yes i just made up a word) turned to sadness. i was talkin with some classmates about this guy i know named kody. i said that he should come to fiath with all of us, and someone else asked the question "who are you talking about?" we told her (even though she had been evesdroping)and she immediatly said "oh he wouldn't make it here." i said "what do you mean" she said "well, i know him and he would just hate it here and would get in trouble and wouldn't be good here." realizing that i would get mad if i said anything, i simply went back to work and thought about what to say. a few minutes later, i asked her how she knew him. her answer (and this is where i almost lost it completely) was "i went ot drivers ed with him." oh, so that means you really know what he is like and everything about him and how he acts. WRONG! i understand that he might not have seemed like a perfect christian, but that was like 2-3 years ago. so what if you "knew" him then? (which you didn't)i was somewhat amazed that this girl seemed to have no faith in the kid that he would turn his life around. when i told her that he has changed quite a bit, she made some snide remark along the lines of "well, i've seen him since then and he hasn't changed." at this point, i could've done many things, but i simply turned away and kept my comments to myself. i know people can get set in ther ways, but to have that apparent lack of fiath in God's power to change an individual was appalling. He's changed me quite a bit, and i know other people that God has changed. it was sad to see the way she responded to that situation. i wish i would've known what to say....

i think i could guess who that was,, but way to hold your tounge joe. cause i woulda had a hard time of it.
isn't it sad how some people form opinions with out ever talking to a person? there is so much more to someone then what we see in a drivers ed course. maybe there isn't anything to say without causing more problems...i should remember that sometimes :( ~
i have no idea, but that is sad. Too often i myself dismiss someone as a 'hopeless case'. Who am I? I too was and still am a hopeless case. COntinually i'm proven wrong, when someone turns their life around.
I'm proud of you for being so patient.
i still would like to tell her off.
yeah i can understand that~
good luck at your tourney:)
Dude,
I tottally respect you for that action. If it was me I probably woulda blown up. But the bible does say "the wise man bridleth his tongue", ure cool points is out da roof!!!

so i just read your comment and i feel really bad for you:( it stinks when you have to be gone and can't have any fun. you'll have fun when you get home doing whatever you please (as long as it's legal, haha) c-ya when you get back~
hey joe! i was talking to my friend anya tonight at homecoming (she plays on delphi's soccer team) and she said they were playing u guys here on tuesday. is it your varsity or jv again? she didn't know.

tomorrow morning i do dread,
the SAT's do await me,
the thought haunts my head
to assure that i am rested
i better sleep well
perhaps i need a sleeping pill?
i now better go,
but i've finally started rhyming like joe! lol i'll ttyl :)
wow. i am seriously impressed.
but now i am back and no longer depressed.
my trip was quite long, but at last it is done
can't wait to just sleep in a bed of my own.
wink wink. gimme a call sometime.
lol hannah you should keep rhyming ever time you comment~
the SAT's were a disaster,
i'm definitely not a multiple choice master,

why arne't you on?
sry
i'm copying cds on dad's computer and i'm not allowed to do AIM on here :(
ohh ok. i'm trying to decide whether or not to go to wertz's...it's cold. lol and ann can't go. i feel bad using his blog like this, when he's not here! lol
Joe, who seriously writes a blog about this? Why don't you talk to that person about it, instead of making a huge deal about this 5 second conversation of your 24 hour day? Why did I just read this? I just wasted 2 minutes of my 24 hour day. Holla', oh, and please don't be mad at me too, hahaha
I totally agree with will...i understand your point, but everyone knows who you're talking about, so maybe you should've talked to her before you posted this...
like that would have done any good. i have resigned myself to the fact that some people will not see beyond their own noses becuase they aren't willing to.
btw, how do you know who i'm talking about? i didn't give any names, i didn't mention which class i was in or where it was. what makes you so sure you know?
accounting you were loud
yes, anonymous is my friend, haha, and joe I still love you buddy - no hard feelings - see you on Wednesday!
so then who was i talking about?
anonymous - do you really think that person would've listened to me. i don't. but i also know that i wouldn't listen to her either. for various reasons. part of the reason for my "loudness" (which i wasn't - you just were evesdropping, like her) is becuase i was mad. if i would've said any more, i would've ended up saying too much. back off. and if you are who i think you are, i'm pretty sure i won't listen to you either.
wilbo, no hard feelings here either.
oh i dont' kjnow who anonymous is - he or she is just my friend... that make sense? i love you
will u're stoopid.
but he's still my buddy - he helps me with the 3-4 year olds on wednesday nights. good times.
still think he's stoopid
im stayin out of this one.
