Myself and the fair people that read this blog would LOVE to hear about your story and/or what God is putting on your heart so now is your chance to share! This will be a month FULL of God's tremendous love and grace as His flock gathers in one place (albeit not physically) to share about His wonders. We are a flock of sheep and He is our glorious Shepard, He loves us all enough to give up His life for our well-being. Now is our time to tell others about Jesus. It'll be fantastic, be sure not to miss it! Thanks guys!

Memoirs of my Mustache: discontinued.
Due to my lack of time and unfortunate conviction, Memoirs of my Mustache must be cancelled. Before you become totally enveloped in grief, I can inform you on the production of my 'stache. It is coming in quite nicely, well developed, and prominent. You should all be proud of its accomplishments. Sorry about the inconvenience...
Have a great Halloween!

Memoirs of my Mustache: Week 1
It has been one week (roughly) since the kick-off of Cinco De Mustache here at Multnomah University in Portland, Oregon. Here are some highlights of my Mustache.
Thank you for reading my blog and have a happy Halloween and Cinco De Mustache!!!
I Believe in Miracles
I would like to start this post off by saying: I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES. Do you? Do you want to know why I believe this? Well, I'll tell you. Let me tell you about Lazarus. Lazarus was a friend of Jesus. One day, Jesus was informed that Lazarus was dying. Did Jesus go to help Lazarus? He certainly could have healed him instantly. But He didn't go; Jesus decided to wait. And wait. And wait. Jesus waited for two full days, probably having a sandwich in the meantime...maybe not. Anyway, it was then that he went to Lazarus. By this time, as you may have guessed, Lazarus was dead. Or was he? When Jesus decided to make the trek to Judea to find Lazarus, His exact words were, "Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I am going there to wake him up." The disciples, thinking Jesus was referring to natural sleep said, "Lord, if he sleeps, he will get better." Jesus then corrected them saying, "Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him."
Upon arriving outside of Bethany where Mary and her sister, Martha, resided, Jesus was greeted by Martha who ran out to meet Him. Jesus comforted the sisters in the death of their brother and asked to see Lazarus telling them, " I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die, and whoever lives by believing in me will never die."
Jesus, coming upon the grave of His friend Lazarus, had them remove the stone covering Lazarus then looked to the sky and said, "Father, I thank you that you have heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I said this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that you sent me." Then, after Jesus had finished His prayer, He called out in a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" And he did.
After reading a story like this, how can you not believe in miracles. Miracles such as these are done all throughout the Bible, and not always by Jesus. Miracles such as these are done still today, in our modern world, by our magnificent God. I believe in miracles because I believe in a God of miracles.
