I am feeling a tad ill. Not really in the sense that I am sick, but that I just don’t feel well. My stomach is all grumbly and I feel like I am baking. I don’t know if that makes much sense at all…but it’s the way I feel. I wish that there were some way to just fast forward the next few years. I have a feeling they are gonna be rough ones for me. Hopefully I will be refined and grow a lot in them. I think upon the last several years of my life and I am overwhelmed by all that has happened. I have made some great friends, learned a ton, make a whack of mistakes, etc. But I feel like I really haven’t “seized the day”. I have a lot of things that I would do over again if I could — I can’t so there isn’t tons of sense in thinking too much about it. I just pray that I will learn from my mistakes and step forward in faith. I want to see God work in wonderful and new ways in my life. I want to live with no regrets. I want to live each day to the fullest. I want to experience the life of Christ in areas most would think are insignificant and irrelevant. I want to grow and mature as a Christian man. I can’t even write another sentence because it is all just too random and unstructured. I hope you have a good day.
Unless you move,

I cannot see. I have not brought my specs with me. Raffi anyone?
So I think I am going to quit driving at Salem-Keizer. I really like doing it, but I think that I can accomplish more with my time at University Life. And I also believe that if I step out in faith God will take care of me.
I am really excited about LIFE_LINK kicking off tomorrow! It should be blast! I am here at Sip now just thinking over a few things for tomorrow. I know that God is preparing me and Grant for something great here and I want to see Him glorified in it.
This day has been skits. It has gone from “cats and dogs” to “Sunny McSunster” every 15 minutes. I hope it stays sunny! I am a fan, and I had too much cold in Canada on my vacation!
I am out of here.
Life is in Him, Peace is in Him, Joy is in Him, Intimacy is with Him!

Wow! I just got home this morning from my trip to Calgary. It was awesome! I got to spend some time with the fam and some friends. I really feel bad that I didn’t get to see some people while I was home. I guess that is what you get when you take a 2 day vacation on the spur of the moment. So if you are one of my friends that I didn’t see, in the words of Babyface “Don’t take it so personal”. Here are a couple snaps from the trip…

Ok…so the plan was to head to Texas today. At about 2pm I realized that my plane was leaving at 2:50. Seeing how I live more than an hour away from the airport, I pretty much lost all hope and tried to reschedule my flight. After about 2 hours on the phone (most of the time on hold) I finally found out that if I pay a mere $800 I could travel tomorrow instead. So that plan is pretty much gone now.
Here’s the new plan: Kesha and I are leaving at midnight to take a drive to Calgary. It should be fun!! We are only staying a couple days, but we are gonna have a blast! I am excited for my visit even though it will be a short one. So pray for me as I am gonna be driving through the Rockies in the middle of the night!
Adios Amigos!

I am pretty relieved that it is spring break! I stressed out a bit when I thought that I had Greek class today, but then I remembered I have the week off and it was all better 
. I am going to Texas tomorrow! I can’t wait for that! It should be awesome! I am going to be leading worship and teaching Sunday School when I am there at Northeast Bible Church. That is gonna be sweet I think. It has been a little while since I have had an opportunity to teach. I love doing it though! I really hope that God will use me to speak to those students. I know that there is so much garbage that the youth of today deal with. Way more than when I was in High School…and that wasn’t all too long ago either!
Ooo…my sofa finally arrived!!! It is one of those “micro-fiber” ones. It is nice as heck!
I hope y’all are doing good and I will try to post a few times from Sunny San Antonio!
Adios!

Well…a string of events involving my stupidity led me to completely delete the old www.vinthomas.com. But I am ok with that, because the one I spent all day yesterday (or should I say this morning) working on is better in my opinion. Check it out. It has a very different look than the old site. I hope you like it!
Ok…now what I want you to do is go and find a piece of string…[pause]…[pause]…yeah seriously. Now tie that string around your finger. Did I just hear someone think “Why”? Don’t think silly questions! To remind you of my gig tonight at SIP (duh?). 7-9. It should be good. Tell all your friends!
Peace out!

I started my 3rd quarter at OTS yesterday. It really seems like time is flying by here! I am really excited about the courses I am taking. This quarter will be a busy one though working f/t with University Life. Today we were invited to hold our Life_Link meetings at SIP every week! That might be a good idea…at least until we grow out of it. It is really a blessing to see how great of a reception we have gotten from everyone who has heard about the ministry. I know that God has His hand in this and I am praying that I can see Him glorified in us and through us.
Ooo…I almost forgot…we went to see Kesh at the hospital yesterday (“we” being Grant, Tamara, and myself) a little after mid-night. It was sweet because we got to chat with a patient who has cancer and has had to stare death straight in the face. We got to talking about the Lord and what Heaven will be like. It was encouraging to talk to him and hear of his hope and faith in God. We talked for a while and then we prayed with him. He said that he would like it if we would stop by and see him again, so hopefully we can get a chance to do that.
O brother john…it is after 3am already and I need to be up at the crack of dawn…(by crack of dawn I mean 10am). Anywhoo, I am gonna go catch a few Z’s.
Wurd to the homies in the west sieeede.
