So, I'm back in Colorado. 26+ hours on a bus. I definitely know why most people opt for flying. God was good though in answering prayers. I was scheduled to arrive about 25 minutes before my brother's graduation but there was only one bus that would get me there in time. Then one of the busses broke down and we were running about 2 hours behind schedule. Not good. But somehow (we didn't ask) we managed to make up the lost time and arrive 20 minutes before his graduation. I walked into the stadium just as Micah was so we saw each other and were pretty close. So twice this month I got to enter with Pomp and Circumstance playing. There were a number of other specific prayer requests that God answered, which was cool. I got to talk to a girl on the bus about God and Jesus and went through the whole plan of salvation from what are Heaven and Hell to why trying hard to be good isn't enough (ok, so long bus rides do have their advantages, too). If you could say a quick prayer for the girl (I don't even know her name) I'd appreciate it. What we talked about really made her think about things in a new light. Just goes to show we really can't tell what God has prepared for us or for our non-Christian friends and family.

Some of my grandparents from Oregon flew in for Micah's graduation so I've enjoyed seeing them. So far I've seen two sets of grandparents and two sets of aunts and uncles (although one set is technically a great-aunt and uncle) and another uncle will be coming in just before I leave. That's nice to visit with family that I haven't seen in a while. Other than that things seem to be about the same. I had a few other blogs that I had written down (because I didn't have access to the internet) but I left the paper in Texas so I won't be able to write them down for a while. You'll just have to use your imagination. It was really fun to see Micah graduate. I am really proud of him. He's been spending the last two days going to friends' graduation parties.

Extra points for Brandon for teaching me how to change the look of my blog. I will change it later, maybe incorporate some of the standard skins with the changes that he taught me, we'll see.

Here's a quiz for you guys, how many emails did I delete from my computer before leaving? 1000, 3000, 5000, 7000

ALL ABOUT YOU
Chris Estes and Nate Sallie

I talk about the day
You walked into my life and took the shame away
I talk about your love
It's more than I could dream of
I talk about
Your face
And when I get to see it for eternity
I talk about
Up above
The heavens and I wonder what they’re made of

It's easy to figure out
What my life is all about

It's all about you
It's not about me
Wherever I go I want people to see
Your light is shining
Like the sun in everything that I do

It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you

I talk about your hands
And how they lift me up when I get under them
I talk about your eyes
And how they always see me even through the night
I talk about
Your voice
And how I hear you calling even through the noise
I talk about
Your arms
And how they wrap me up and keep me safe from harm

It's easy to figure out
What my life is all about

It's all about you
It's not about me
Wherever I go I want people to see
Your light is shining
Like the sun in everything that I do

It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you

There's no one like you....
There's no one like you....It's all about you it's not about me (as if you should do things my way)
It's all about you it's not about me (as if you should do things my way)
It's all about you it's not about me

It's all about you
It's not about me
Wherever I go I want people to see
Your light is shining
Your light is shining
Like the sun in everything that I do

It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you
It's all about you

But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness.

James 3:17,18
