About me: Hey! I'm Short, I'm 18, bout 6 ft, skinny, white, blue eyed, straight, curlie-haired, american male Christian Missionary. I live in Colorado, and I love it's mountains. I play lacrosse, soccer, paintball, ski, snowboard, rock climb, and used to be a volunteer Ground Search and Rescue Team Member.
I love my Father God in heaven, and am learning to live a life that reflects His glory. My goal daily is to live as Christ so as to save some. My vision is to change the nations through a combination of Apastolic works and Community Development/Economic Change. God's grace is sufficient, so I anxiously await the day when I see that vision fulfilled. Till then, I will follow God's Will and hope for what is unseen.
If you'd like to follow me on my travels and what God is doing I've developed a website to blog on and stay in contact with those interested. www.WhollyYours.net Feel free to check it out and leave comments. I hope that this site will replace the use of my e-mail. If interested, I can also add you to an e-mail list that will inform you when I've created a new entry on the site.
I created my own profile using nUCLEArcENTURy.COM and you should too!
Who I'd like to meet: Well... I've met them.
I'd introduce you to my homie Jesus Christ anyday though.
Have fun on your mission... we'll all be keepin you in our prayers. We know you're out doing great things... Give me a shout whenever you get internet access
Fl still sucks... go figure. I've got my last final in 3 hours so that's cool. I bought a '99 4runner this weekend; I'll let you know how I like it as I get to konw it, but so far it's sick! It's almost to nice for me though, lol :) I'll put some pics up soon.
What's up bro! Haven't talked in a while... if this counts as "talking'" lol; I dont' really know any more. What are you up to; hope you're enjoying the hoody... I laugh every time I see you in it; it's just funny that I bought it here in Fl, left it @ home in CO, and now it's all the way across the world in New Zealand! LOL... well ttyl...
That works with me! Road trips are killer cool. WOOT WOOT!!!!
Um, soooooo sorry yet again that I suck at getting ahold of people. After I called the oxford base I called cait and I got a voice mail, then I called aly and got a voice mail, then I called Cal and got a voice mail, then I called home and got a voice mail......SERIOUSLY, i just suck at gettin ahold of people! haha. Well, I hope your dinner is REALLLLY scruptious and yummy. I know i'm looking forward to some delish din. :) Miss ya Matt and maybe someday soon I will call and someone will pick up! ;) WOOOOO HOOOOO!

Everyone is already pretty outgoing and not too shy. It's really cool how open everyone is! I like it! I'm sure things will start to pick up here tho, once we get into everything. :)
There are def. some quality kids on this DTS that is for sure. It's sooooo funny because there is a MacDonalds like 5 min away and this kid has made it a point to go get and ice cream cone EVERY night because they are 50 cents. It's pretty funny. Today we were kinda getting into the whole telling everyone out story type deal and we only had the time for one person to tell there story and already it's WAY intence!!!! Def. brings everyone together when you here there struggles and hurt....yeah, idk. So I really hope I wasnt online whenever you said that now would be a good time to call, but I'm pretty sure it wasnt at 1050pm because it would have been at like 150 your time which doesnt sound right to me....hmmm. I'm gunna try to give you a ring after din. :) YAY! I'm excited to talk to ya...that is if i get ahold of you. :)
Our comp room tends to get random build up of people and sometimes it gets filled will loud and crazy peeps. BUT it is supposed to be a rather calm room because people are often sleeping near by.
well thats cool, sounds like your having a good time! You will be proud to hear that im buying a snowboard and all the jazz that goes with it, INCLUDING a pass to eldora (not the best mountain but hey, im a begginer and its close) but im super stoked to go, I have no idea why I never did it before!
I'm pretty sure you will make the cut too! ;) YEAH! This is the coolest surf team EVER!!!!!! We will know all sorts of crazy cool people it's not even funny.
Yeah, I was talking to Jessica and she was saying how her bf was going to thailand! That's pretty SAWEET! We were also just talking about how your school seems to be REALLY REALLY insanly fun. haha, because you guys always have really neat stories and we feel like were more on the not so insanly fun side. haha. Sooooooo, ya know!
Oh and our base does not have head sets, but i know some peeps muct have some...So yeah. I'm sure I could just use someones or I could call you...psh, whatevs!
I'm saleeeeeeepy. I havent had to wake up this early since high school, it's great! I love it. WOOOOT. Sorry this message is sorta random. I'm kinda distracted by all the peeps in the room plus I'm a lil sleepy....those two put together and just no bueno. haha.
So your three hours ahead of us...right?
mattttttttttttttttttttttt Have a GREAT day!!!!!!!!! I hope you have a super cool group going to India with you! :)
Def. wasnt just you babbling on! It was very meaningful to me and I mean that when i say it!!!!! :)
You are going to India!!!! That is soooooooo COOL! God is going to do some rockin' things there. I'm stoked for you. It's crazy to think that you are going to be there with no adult style people. Your in good hands and I know that that is going to be a killer experience!!!!!
I'm planning on going pro, so that when I get back to Colorado I can start a pro team....with no ocean, because we have skill like that. It's gunna be pretty sweet. Do you want to try out? lol, jk!!! ;) We should FOR SURE work out a killer road trip for this summer and hit up some gnarly waves!!! I havent actually had the chance to surf yet, but I'm hopeing to get to the point where I can SOMEWHAT ride out a wave.....yeeeah. So I'm thinkin' that i'm gunna be calling you soon, so when is a good time to call you? I can't belive your going to india!!!!! That is soooooo exciting. I'm pretty sure that by the time your 25 you will have travled pretty much EVERYWHERE! haha. Yay!
Buenas Noches mi chico! Hope to get ahold of you soon! :) Night!!!!
Oh, well mute math may have done a cover, but it is also a U2 song. I only know that because i have that cd. lol. Woo
So I got your letter and I must say that it made me cry. I was kinda struggling with hearing... Gods voice i guess you could say. And God spoke to you which in turn spoke to me. First off, I'm on the surf team here for youthstreet and I will have the opportunity to be on the breach every sat. ministering to kids and just showing them love that they may not get from there family. So The way I see it I'm going to be footless and in the sand with a whole bunch of unique kids who get to learn more about God through me and the team. Secondly, I'm kinda on the worship team thing here. I will basically have a couple of chances to be singing on stage and what-not which i'm really excited about!! Plus for me worshiping is my number one way to connect with God. And I LOVE IT!!!!!! Lastly, I was somewhat worried about my fam and I would be the most concerned with my dad because of his past. I know there is A LOT more that I wanted to say, but i cant remember and it's hard to focus when there are soooo many people in this little room. haha, but pretty much I was way stoked to get that letter and to read what God told you because it spoke to me pretty much about all that I'm doing right now. :) WAY COOL!!!!
Hail fights!!!!! That's SWEET! I Want to have a hail fight!!
We have some sweet kids living in the house and it's way cool, all the students are awesome. WHICH remindes me about your letter and the sister part of that. I know I'm going to become REALLY close with heaps of the girls here! It's gunna kich butt!.
I went to the beach today and the dunes yesterday with the crew( youthstreet kids). We only went to the dunes because we went to the beach and it was red flaged...so then when we were on the dunes we heard some alarm going off and apparently there was a shark in the water. haha CRAZY! it's tight.
