ok, well apparently my xanga is "boring" ....don't really care, but i'll update--let's see....since last update i've been in colorado, had a birthday, went to an engineering camp, and to visit the wheelers...all very exciting things....got myself a digital camera and an ipod....not that those are really big highlights of the summer..i'm pretty sure the best part has been hangin out with awesome people....a great summer-before-senior-year

well, i hope everyone is having a glorious break....making money (though that's not all that important), doing fun things, and growing in relationships....especially with God---i'm so thankful for all the opportunities i've had this summer to grow in my relationship with Him....

i remember being completely tired basically from 9 o'clock in the morning to about 2 hours ago...but apparently with no sleep, i'm all of a sudden wide away....

you guys are all super

"He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering (52:13)...my servant will act wisely, He will be raised and lifted up and highly exalted (53:3)" --Isaiah

I want so much to be more and more like Christ

in Him,

John

coincidence? i think not.     green is most definitely a better color then blue, so goooo italy

well i'm back--had an awesome time....good b-day and all that jazz....and, i just recently found out that one of my favorite bands of all time that i currently have all of their 9 cds, audio adrenaline, after 15 years, is going on their final tour...their lead singer's vocal cords are shot from all that yelling....i'm sad, but i'll hopefully be at rock the light to see them...in honor of this event...i shall post the lyrics that i listened to maybe 5 hours ago that i normally overlook, but definitely applies to my recent trip to jamaica...and anyone else whose been on a mission trip

jesus movement

have you ever been so inclined, yea, is it on your mind

the thought we're the lord's lone protoge

well i thought we were the only hope

yea, the world's safety rope

america has come, come to save the day

imagine my suprise, when i realized

everywhere i go, i can see

i'm not the only one moving, moving to Jesus

I went down to Mexico, mi amigo

and i found jesus living outside the USA

Imagine my surprise when i realized

oh the joy that filled my heart

to know that i'm just a part

of a bigger and better body

-----sounds better to music, but i couldn't find any

and i randomly found this picture in my sisters....sam's a dork

i realize how stupid and probably conceited it seems to post pictures of yourself...but i had some random inspiration last night....my hair is gettin longer--gotta love the expressions though--i mean, i realize i look ridiculous, and i won't even feel bad if you make fun of me--it just amuses me...





and a good 'ol emo pic just for kicks...

when i realize how embarassing this post is...i'll probably delete it...but for now...enjoy it...
i made two shirts this summer...they are completely random...one for florida


and one for jamaica

.....off to tennessee and florida with the fam...and zach

i just held a 3 hour old baby.....brahm michael wheeler (my second brother)

and i also spent about 20 minutes burning almost every piece of paper i used, didn't use, or created for school...it was very....fulfilling and refreshing...filling it up with useless crumpled knowledge, and feeding the fire..it was especially fulfilling to burn everything from chemistry and spanish...

we begin with this, a large stack of unspuspecting papers, little do they know the demise that will soon follow:

fire!

burn.....burn....burn!!!!

and....the goofy smile from john....with one eye closed...man, it was hot
