OK, so I am not walking in high cotton down in Alabama, but I am hangin out in Arkansas for the week. Sadly, there is no high cotton around during this time of the year, and I am NOT walkin in it, but I am still having fun down here!
Two nights ago, Becca's family down here had a giant family reunion. After eating, they all pulled out their guitars, banjos, bass cello things, bongo drums, and voices. For the next three to four hours they played and sang whatever they knew and more. A lot of what they played was improv. Their improv was better than something I could practice for months. You simply had to start singing a song they never heard before, and by verse two you would have a full guitar band backing you up because they could simply hear how the song was supposed to go. Insane.
Yesterday I went for a quick frog hunt. We didn't get any frogs while I went along, but they had caught four of them at 2 in the morning previously. Later, they cleaned them and I was able to eat my very first frog legs.
Today I am going to go swimming in the above ground pool in the back yard. I think it might be home-made.
We've stayed up till almost 4 every day since we got here. We play games, laugh, and sing (of course, always singing).
It's been pretty fun.
Oh, and sorry if I talk weird when I get back home. I am horrible at southern accents/drawls, but being surrounded by it down here has made me talk... different (it isn't like a southern accent, it's just... different).
I think.
I'm here till Friday, and then for the next three nights I'm staying at Branson. I have been told that I will be the youngest person there by sixty years.
That's about it...
Y'all be good now

It's The Final Countdown!
Duuuuh Duhdun Dun... (That was the brass instrumentation)
Anyway... The world is supposed to end at 6:00 tonight, so what am I doing with the last six hours of my life? Well, I am golfing this afternoon with my father and my brother, and then at 5:00, I work. What better way is there to spend the last six hours of my life playin a round of golf?
Also, I always knew that I would experience the end of my life/the world at the Pizza Ranch.
Oh well, it's better than spending the last minutes of earth at the Tulip Festival.
Suckers.
Oh and on a final note, I was told that this whole end of the world thing is supposed to happen at 6:00 everywhere with earthquakes and such, so when it is 6:00 in New York and 5:00 here, we will be able to see New York get hit before it makes its way west. So once this all starts happening, you all have an hour to come find me and hang out for a while.

The Post You've All Been Patiently Waiting For
So it has been a good while since I have last posted. My bad. The end of the school year got busy, I guess. I think I wrote about 934,389,393 papers during those last few weeks (Which is one more than Kristin). I also don't really have anything mind blowing that I just have to share with the entire world (minus 5,999,999,989 people (Get it? Cuz I have 11 followers? LOL ROFL LMAO ETC)).
Anyway... I have been working. I work full time with my dad and two farmer/carpenters. I tore off siding last week and then put new siding up. This week I have been in the shop building cabinets with my dad. I have also been working part-time at the Pizza Ranch (2-3 nights a week. Woot (not))!
I still haven't unpacked fully... My room was so full of crap I no longer want or need when I got back, so I decided to sort through all of it and organize before I brought in all of the college stuff. Well, I didn't quite get done with all of that before I started working full-and-a-part-time, so my car is still jam packed.
I went to Des Moines with the lovely lady last Saturday to take a look at the Botanical Garden Center. We finally figured all the wedding date details. We'll be getting married there in Des Moines on December 20 and having a reception in Sioux Falls on the 23rd (only seven months away... whoa)!
My back hurts right now a lot, I don't know what I did to it.
I think I am going to go to Sioux Falls now to buy new goalie gloves, a new sword, and probably to sell stuff because I got fired from my full-time job for the afternoon because there is not much for me to do since the farmer/carpenter's are tending to their farmer responsibilities today and my dad had to go on a "lumber run," whatever that means.
*Awkward Silence... Sniff... Foot Shuffle... More Awkward Silence...*

Undercover Jesus
So as I was thinking the other day, an interesting think occurred (That was intentional. Why? For fun.). I wondered, "What if Jesus would come to earth in His physical, human form and began preaching and testifying in all different churches from different denominations on Sundays. I wonder how many churches would boot Him out, saying His doctrine wasn't right. Maybe His views on predestination or free will were incorrect. Maybe His views on common grace were just simply off. Undoubtedly, many churches, if not all, would find some kind of error or heresy in His preaching."
Must there really be so much division within the church? I didn't do my research, but if I had to guess at how many different denominations and splits there are in the church just within the United States, I would say that the number lies approximately at a lot (now that is an effective statistic if I have ever seen one). Now, of course the church has to be sure to be following the straight and narrow path, but these splits occur far too often and over issues that REALLY don't matter in the long haul. There are too many people who seem to think, "Oh, I disagree with (insert issue here), I am going to go start a "different church,"" as if Jesus proclaimed to be the head of not just one body of believers, but instead the head of many bodies.
I realize that to ask all the churches to agree and unite again into one singular church is something that is quite unlikely to be accomplished by we who continuously fall prey to sin. We should, however, be able to at the very least, agree to disagree on theological and doctrinal topics, so as not to come to disagreements and then, as a result, scorn each other or look down on one another. Unfortunately, too many churches and denominational groups tend to look at other groups in a negative light. Looking down at the other churches or denominations often makes one look like he believes that his doctrine or theology or whatever is perfect and right, and anyone else who disagrees is ultimately wrong and not invited in worship, praise, and study.
Give me a break.
We really don't have to imagine a scene in which Jesus comes down in body and starts preaching in our churches. The Bible gives plenty of accounts of when Jesus, preaching nothing but truth, is scoffed, threatened, and deemed a heretic or one who is demon possessed by those who seem to have it all figured out. It really doesn't seem like times have changed all that much.

Hollywood Bound
The final cuts have been made, and it's a wrap! Now we all just have to wait for the editing! Within a month the final production should be available for viewing!
I had the priviledge to star in a short horror movie with the working title of "The Purrrfect Crime." It might be a stretch, but I'm crossing my fingers for a Golden Globe or maybe an Oscar for my role.
I'll be leaving in a couple weeks for a promotional tour of the movie for it's opening debut in Europe. The version that is planned to be released in the US will be released a week later than in Europe, and I will be concluding the promotional tour here in the States.
When the final edits have been made, I'll be sure to post a free link to the video to all my followers (so naturally I am expecting my number of followers to increase into the hundreds, but likely the thousands (at the very least)).

Good Thing I Don't Do Things Like That
If I would time travel to ancient times and then get stuck there, that would be bad because eventually my contacts would either wear out or fall out and then I would be as good as blind.
