For some reason I cannot post in user blogs. Since I dio not feel like waiting for someone to fix it I will post here and one of you mods can move it for me when you feel like it.
Anyways.... I came to say "I quit Brawl".
There is more to life and not enough life to live it all. So we must pick and choose what we do in our life, and the acomplishments that will will achieve in one life time.
My point is... "video games are cool, but profesional gaming takes up to much time (AND TIME IS LIFE SPENT).
So you may be like "WTH made you go all emo!?" Well... it has been on my heart for a while, and I feel I need to explain.
On November 18th, 2008, at about 1 pm a friend of mine died.

It was hard for me... and the rest of my friends. It was in that moment that I realized that I am mortal, I die, and it could be any second.....
I then asked myself... "if I die, who will miss me, and what will I have acomplished in my life?"
I carry a charm around my neck with a pic of him on it in remembrence.
It has been months since I went on my first Chrysalis flight. http://www.upperroom.org/Chrysalis/
Storm was supposed to be there with me. He wasn't....
I learned more about me there than I have anywhere else.
One of the things I learned was that I was slowly waisting away.
I also learned that I need to do something new with my life.
After Chrysalis I made an attempt to establish a volunteer working community. It was going head strong for about a week until my partner had a meeting in New York, and I got back into SSBB. It was never discussed again.
On July 5th I left with about 40 some teens from my youth group to go to West Virginia. This web site tell you what I did. http://reachwc.org/
(here is a pic of me... and give me a break... it was national pigtail day, and it was very bright outside) http://www.reachwc.org/media/camppic...gepage140.html
I TSP'd one side of a house, roofed half a house and roofed an entire Garage (30'x10') in 5 days. I had help from between 2 to 4 people though.
I did all of that for free. It was an act of kindness.
I learned more there... than from Chrysalis, enough to call it life changing.
I have recently got back (Saturday), and so far I have went to one wedding and attended 3 sermons (CCC morning, CCC night and Revolution). I would have went to white Agape (Chrysalis), but I was at Revolution. Now I don't plan on going to three sermons every Sunday every week, but I do plan on attending on Sundays. BTW... the places I go ro don't have a dimonation. They are straight up facts.. and it isn't sugar coated. We talked about males ****** males at Revolution.
"What do I plan on doing with my future?"
Well, I Leave for Illonois this Wendaday. While I am therer I will be setting up a study group with my friends. We will be meeting at each others house's once a week. This first session will be about how church's have become cult's, and how they have became corrupt.
This fall I will be part of a ministry in our city. I will be witnessing to prostotutes, drug dealers and drug addicts. I am scared... but I have God on my side.
I have Fall Retreat.
Summer Sundays.
Mission work on Thursdays and Fridays.
I will be finishing high school.
I will be finishing my book (what do you think Saviors Legacy stands for?).
Most importantly, I will be walking straight.
My name is Josh, I am 17 years old, and I am leaving SSBB... for good.
