What is friendship. We all say that we care about others, we all say that we want to hang out, we all say that we’ll be there for people. But when it comes down to it, what does true friendship entail? Is it unconditional love, something that we as humans are almost incapable of having. Is it just a word, something that brings a false hope of security? Or is there more to it than that.  To me there seems to be a lack of backing of actions in todays society, everyone is out to get something for themselves. We all want to be at the right place at the right time so that we can benefit from it. But at the same time we’re called as Christians to do more than that, we’re called to be litle Christs. That’s what the word Christian means.

But, what about when we decide that it’s not in our best interests to be friendly to someone? Lately, there has seemed to be a growing trend in my life. People seem to being friendly, and there’s a reason for it. Weather its to use the things that I have, to get an energy drink now and then, or to be around when its convinent. But that’s not what friendship is. Friendship is something more, something deeper. So many times I have found that there is just a superficial meaning to peoples words.

True friends are something that have all but dissapeared.

I’ve found who my friends are.

So. I’ve been really… not bussy at all lately. Which is kinda nice, except for the fact that school shall be starting back up here pretty soon. No more sleeping in till 9′ and playing guitar all day. I actually have to get my work done. Psh. Life is so hard.

Today, I had an interview at a marketing place, I guess is what it technically would be called. They develope websites, and make videos to help marketing buisnesses. I’ll be learning the ropes, and hopefully at some point it will become a paid position, which would be really nice. It’s going to be interesting to see how fast I can learn all the ropes of HTML and all that funn stuff. Psh. Nahh. It’s gunna be a good time.

One thing that I’ve been thinking about lately is a bible verse… yesss Max is going to get serrious. It’s Jeremiah 33 verse 3. “Call and I will answere, I will show you marvelous and majestic things that you have never known.” I guess sometimes I wonder where the answere is you know? I mean I call and others call but it seems like nothing ever comes of it. Or maybe it’s just that we don’t get the answere that we won’t so we don’t really listen to it.

Anyways, that’s just a little thought of mine today.

Hope ya’ll that read this are having a good one… a comment now and then would be nice… xD.

So. It rained a bunch here last night, literally. I had to leave Civil Air Patrol early so I could get home before the roads were all closed. Last year in our neighborhood, there was a culvert that flooded, and the replaced it with this huge monster culvert. Guess what… the new one didn’t help, it actually, created this huge whole in our road. Other than that the night was pretty well. At CAP, my NCOIC at Honor Guard is doing extreamly well, he has his stuff down. Durring the meeting though, someone decided to act like God, when he had no idea what was going on, because he hadn’t taken the time to be there….. And it was really frustrating, oh well… what are you going to do.

These last couple weeks have been prety uneventful. We had family visiting, which was really fun. My grandparents on my moms side came out for 11 days, and they brought our cousin with them. He had a great time. Going all over the place shopping and hanging in out on the lake. It was a really fun time. Before they came, we were out at a music festival in MN, it went really good time, except for the fact that one of the bands I wanted to see didn’t show up… losers. I’ve been trying to work on getting a benefit concert set up, and I talked with Toby Mac about it for like… a minute… he hasn’t gotten back to me… not cool.

Our youth group is still working on drilling wells in Rwanda, and I think we might even be going on a mission trip there sometime in the future, maybe next summer. I don’t know if that’s going to actually come together, it would be really awesome if it did. We have started drilling our second well though, wich is pretty dang awesome! Considering that each well costs ten thousand dollars.

I’ve been really getting into playing acoustic guitar lately… something about it grows on you. I used to not like playing it because it wasn’t loud enough. But once you get used to it, it’s like pretty dang sweet. Not going to lie.

Anyways, I need to get going. I might post some more serrious stuff about life and all later.. we’ll see what happens. Peace.
