Theory About 48 People

I heard a "statistic" that throughout someone's lifetime, a person will meet and be directly influenced by 48 people before they die. I thought it would be kind of cool if I started writing about all the people who have influenced me in my life. Of course I won't have 48 right now; I'm only almost 18.

NUMBER ONE: Barry Seal

My dad. I'll be honest (and he would agree), he hasn't always been the greatest father. He's even admitted that when my brother and I were younger he was more of a friend than a father-figure. Despite this fact, he has probably made the greatest impact on my life as of just recently. A few years ago I was apathetic when it came to believing whether God existed or not. I didn't care about believing in Him and Jesus; I was agnostic. With my dad's preaching and talking about God and Jesus, he was able to build me a foundation that later grew through my own willingness to go to church and get involved. Without him I don't think I would be baptized or even want to go on mission trips as much as I do now.

So my dad brought Jesus into my life...and that makes up for everything he didn't do.

Thank you, Dad.

Long Time No Whatever

It's been forever since I've written anything. You conclude one thing from this; life is boring. I wake up, go to school, come home, eat, go to work, come home, sleep. Rinse and repeat. I even usually eat the same foods.

Well today I get my braces off. Hooray hooray. It'll probably make me late to work and cancel out any joy I had for today.

Chuck Norris can't act.
