Peace.

Un-bedward-ledward-vable!
07/10/2005
The concert was so amazing! If you have no idea what I am talking about read yesterday’s post. Jason Mraz is so incredibaly good! He has great songs. Other than his obsession with pot and girls, he is one of the best out there. I would have to say that among the artists out today, he is certainly top shelf. We were standing no more than 20 feet from the stage and it was in a little record shop in Portland. You can’t even imagine how great it was. I would love to do what he does some day! It was inspiring to see him. I have been on a little song writing kick lately, so that just bumped it up another notch. Well…I am gonna go hit the hay. Here are a few pics from the show.
Concerto Mr. A-Z
07/09/2005
So Kesh woke me up this morning with a phone call at 7:30 am. At first I thought someone must have died since no one in their right mind would wake up that early to call me for something dumb. Well…to my surprise she had some even BETTER news than someone dying! Jason Mraz is doing a concert in Portland tonight! He is opening for Alanis morisette (boo) and afterwards he is doing a private concert for 150 people. Who are those lucky few you might ask? Well…if you are one of the first 150 standing outside Millennium Music in Portland, you are part of the Mraz elect! So I hopped in my car and picked up Grant and headed off to Portland (about an hour away from Salem). We got there in plenty of time and actually went through the line twice!! WE got 4 free tickets!!! FREE! So we are taking our hot ladies out for a date tonight! It should be a blast! I love mraz. A little jealous of his talent…but I love him nonetheless. Well…I gotta run. I will try to get some pics from the show!
Peaski weaski!
Awesome things!
07/07/2005
I have been seeing the most amazing things happen in peoples lives lately! It seems like God is doing some awesome work here in Salem. I have seen friends come to understand that they can do NOTHING good. Nothing that they can do will EVER please God. And it is awesome because they get upset and almost fed-up. But then the Lord comes in and shows them that that’s the way He planned it! He doesn’t want us to DO things for Him or even be ABLE to do things for Him. He wants to be our life. He is the one who achieves the Victory! He is the One to “will and do” the work in our life. Victory is AWESOME! And it is in those places of utter despair that the Lord can really work!
I heard yesterday that someone feels the “least spiritual” they have ever been. But is great because in reality they are coming to see that what they were doing before was not necessarily spiritual. They are starting to learn that God is not pleased by OUR works for Him. He is interested in HIS WORK in us!
Yep. Great things are happening and I am so encouraged and blessed to see it all go down!
May we all recognize our helplessness and the glorious hope found in Christ!
The 4th

Well…today is a great day! It is Indepenence Day. A great day to be thankful to the Lord for what He has done and what He is doing to bring liberty. I am going to spend the day with friends celebrating and enjoying great fellowship in Christ. I hope you have a great day too!
Peace out.
A Good Double Date & A Brutal Past
07/03/2005
Tonight had its ups and downs. It started off great! I went to RED ROBIN with Kesha @ 7pm and we chilled and talked for a while! I can never get enough time spent with my sweetheart! Then Colby & Melissa showed up about an hour later and we started our double date. It went pretty good. The food was awesome and we had some good conversation.
After we left RED ROBIN we went home to my place. On the way home though, I ended up putting my foot in my mouth and acting like a fool. I know I am stubborn and sometimes in my flesh I can become really arrogant and insensitive. I know that the Lord is working, but sometimes I am just really anxious to be a spiritual giant.
Anyway, once we all got to my place we pulled out the Settlers of Catan. That game always rocks the show, but for some reason this game just kept on going and going and going and going! It was good though, except I managed to make a complete at sign money sign money sign out of myself once again! I blurt things out sometimes that are really stupid and brutal. I really need to allow the Lord to reign over my thoughts and my tongue much more. It is a constant struggle.
It is really hard because I have a past that Satan continues to use against me in certain ways. I know that it is cleansed in Christ, but too often I allow them to take me captive. If there were a way to take back all the stupid things I have done, I would in a heartbeat. I hate so much that my past causes pain in my present. But Christ allowed those things to happen, and now in Him I have freedom and forgiveness. I need to live always in light of His marvelous work that made me clean and keeps me clean!
Ok…sorta done!

Well…I have spent most of the last 24 hours making the new vinthomas.com site. It is looking pretty schnazzy, but I am sure there are a few kinks. Some of the new features are:
1. Listen to songs while you browse the site using the ‘JUKEBOX’
2. No more sub-pages. It is all right here on vinthomas.com! (Translation: easy navigation)
3. Link page (be sure to check ‘em out!)
4. Download 4 new songs and lyrics!
5. Not as many images = FASTER browsing!
I hope you like it! Leave a comment and let me know what you think! If you have any comments or suggestions, leave them on the tagboard, or email me, or just leave a comment!
Peace out!

Hey…
As you can tell, I am trying a few new things with the site. I hope you will like the outcome! Don’t freak out if some of the things don’t look right or work properly. Be patient please! It should be up and running like normal soon!
