My sincere apologies.

I know there are some of you out there who look at this everyday. To you I say thank you. Weather your bored at art school, work, or home, or maybe you just really look forward to what I have to say. Thank you very much for making my site tracker go up! I know I have not posted in a fat minute but I promise I have not forgot about you. I thought i would fill you in a some of what has been keeping me from venting to my keyboard.
As most of you know i recently became a father. She weighs 7lb., had four legs and a tail. No, its not a deformed human baby. It is a very cute puppy that is a 50-50 mix of Beagle and Jack Russel. Her name is Molly. (see picture below) i personally blame her for the lack of posts. She doesn't sleep at night she prefers howling until i let her come sleep with me and then just jumping on and off my bed until morning. Though this get very old very fast i just can't get mad at her. She is too cute.
There is also this little thing called school that has kept me busy pretty much every day as well.

But please check daily for new post I am going to get back into this very soon.

Also check out Captive Outpost. I am going to be on there some as well. Not to mention there are currently four other very interesting contributers there.

Well until next time! That is if you haven't found something better to do before then. Not that there is much better then reading my thoughts on the world and about my struggles.

Courage in my Faith

Today i woke up and read my email, looked at Woot, Sellout Woot, and Shirt Woot. This is a typical day in the life of Morgan Berry, however when checking my email I saw that my cultural geography class was canceled. Through out the morning I was not looking forward to this two hour gap, and had no idea what I was going to do to fill it. I hung on the the idea that maybe I would get some homework of something to work on, well that never happened.

So I went to the Cafe, got some food and sat down. No more then ten minutes after getting my laptop out and everything situated I heard the warming up of instruments on the other side. Being the Curious George I often am I decided to move over closer to the sounds.

Boy was i pleasantly surprised! Turns out it was just what I needed today, and for a while. This sound I was hearing to the warming up of a gospel band and choir. When they started singing i was very caught off guard. See Cincinnati State is not known for being a religious school at all, let alone to have many people that would openly confess they are Christians in front of the judgmental crowd that is a college Cafe filled with tired stressed out students.

One song into there performance the crowd was standing, shouting, and singing with them like i have never even seen in a church before.
To give you an idea of the craziness of the situation, a guy about my age with hair down to his back, wearing all black with a shirt on the said "God?...LOL", and a sticker on his
laptop stating that "Satan worships Me" stood up and stated to sing wit them!
Needless to say the environment was like none other I had every been in before.

This all brings me to courage in our faith.

Lately I have suffered in this area. Part of the reason i and not currently a Young Life leader is do to a lack of courage. I didn't have the courage to do, i didn't have the courage to give up a day at work, free time, and I didn't have the courage to go to an high school and talk to kids i didn't know and try to be-friend them. Why is it that these people can get up in front of a huge crowd full of every type of person you can think of and sign about the Lord, and how they love him so much, yet i can't just go into a school and share the love that I have experienced?

Though I do not currently have an answer to this question, I do have a verse that i feel is going to help me out, and that can help out any one in a similar position.

Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the LORD your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you." Deuteronomy 31:6 (New International Version)

So I as do a Keyword search on Biblegataway.com for the word courage to try and figure out a reasoning for this I would love some feed back on what could help me out in this.
