Hey I'm Chris and I'm an Christian as of right now. I have a band called Eternal Breath and Street Soldier (Both different music but with a Christian perspective). I play guitar sometimes in Eternal Breath and I'm the lead vocals. I'm also seeking a drummer, bass player and lead guitars and then we'll go from there and see what comes out of this. As for my "side project" Street Soldier, it's a solo Christian Hip-Hop project. It's good stuff also. I'm 20 years old and I live in Fort Worth, Texas with my Dad and his family (Stepmom and 2 brothers) all because I had to leave a broken home full of family violence, screaming, arguements, and drugs and alcohol and whatnot. I left and soon I will get my High School diploma due to me dropping out but I'm doing it on the internet though so that is good news for me. I lost everything 'til I found Jesus and accepted him into my life recently this past sunday and it was at Cowboy Way Church. I'm alive. Halleujah!

Chris,

CONGRATULATIONS on making something positive out of your situation, and being an example to others! That is awesome!

I am sorry you've had such a long, hard road at such a young age. It sounds similar to my life...

Thankfully, God has kept me from things that could have severely harmed me; and from situations that could have been so much worse. I am thankful for what He has blessed me with.

Sometimes the roads are long, and windy... but when we come to that place where we can look back and see what we have overcome, it is very sweet.

Hang in there, and keep on Keepin' on for Him!

Liesa~

Hi Chris,

Glad to have you join us. Sorry I was so hard on you on your first critique. It looks like you have a gift in writing. I pray that you will keep up with that gift. However, being a new believer that you are, I would suggest that you get really into to God's word to have insite as to writing a Christian song. Not having depth into God's word can lead you and those you are trying to reach in the wrong direction. Even Paul had a time of training before he went out to preach.
What I am saying is when writing, make sure that your words are in line with scripture. Get the proper discipleship needed to help you grow and then with KNOWLEDGE and truth you can bless others.

Welcome brother and I pray that you will take what I say to heart. I want the best for you
In Jesus' name,
John

The Remembrance of Lilacs

The family had just moved to Rhode Island, and the young woman was feeling a little melancholy on that Sunday in May. After all, it was Mother's Day -- and 800 miles separated her from her parents in Ohio.(maple story mesos)

She had called her mother that morning to wish her a happy Mother's Day, and her mother had mentioned how colorful the yard was now that spring had arrived. As they talked, the younger woman could almost smell the tantalizing aroma of purple lilacs hanging on the big bush outside her parents'back door.

　Later, when she mentioned to her husband how she missed those lilacs, he popped up from his chair. "I know where we can find you all you want, "he said. "Get the kids and c'mon. "

So off they went, driving the country roads of northern Rhode Island on the kind of day only mid－May can produce：sparkling sunshine, unclouded azure skies and vibrant newness of the green growing all around. They went past small villages and burgeoning housing developments, past abandoned apple orchards, back to where trees and brush have devoured old homesteads. wow gold

Where they stopped, dense thickets of cedars and ju nipers and birch crowded the roadway on both sides. There wasn't a lilac bush in sight.

"Come with me , "the man said. "Over that hill is an old cellar hole, from somebody's farm of years ago, and there are lilacs all round it. The man who owns this land said I could poke around here anytime. I'm sure he won't mind if we pick a few lilacs. "

Before they got halfway up the hill, the fragrance of the lilacs drifted down to them, and the kids started running. Soon, the mother began running, too, until she reached the top. world of warcraft power leveling

There, far from view of passing motorists and hidden from encroaching civilization, were the towering lilacs bushes, so laden with the huge, cone-shaped flower clusters that they almost bent double. With a smile, the young woman rushed up to the nearest bush and buried her face in the flowers, drinking in the fragrance and the memories it recalled.
While the man examined the cellar hole and tried to explain to the children what the house must have looked like, the woman drifted among the lilacs. Carefully, she chose a sprig here, another one there, and clipped them with her husband's pocket knife. She was in no hurry, relishing each blossom as a rare and delicate treasure.

Finally, though, they returned to their car for the trip home. While the kids chattered and the man drove, the woman sat smiling, surrounded by her flowers, a faraway look in her eyes.

When they were within three miles of home, she suddenly shouted to her husband, "Stop the car. Stop right here!"

The man slammed on the brakes. Before he could ask her why she wanted to stop, the woman was out of the car and hurrying up a nearby grassy slope with the lilacs still in her arms. At the top of the hill was a nursing home and, because it was such a beautiful spring day, the patients were outdoors strolling with relatives or sitting on the porch. world of warcraft gold

The young woman went to the end of the porch, where an elderly patient was sitting in her wheelchair, alone, head bowed, her back to most of the others. Across the porch railing went the flowers, in to the lap of the old woman. She lifted her head, and smiled. For a few moments, the two women chatted, both aglow with happiness, and then the young woman turned and ran back to her family. As the car pulled away, the woman in　the wheelchair waved, and clutched the lilacs.

　"Mom, "the kids asked, "who was that？Why did you give her our flowers？Is she somebody's mother？"The mother said she didn't know the old woman. But it was Mother's Day, and she seemed so alone, and who wouldn't be cheered by flowers？"Besides, "she added, "I have all of you, and I still have my mother, even if she is far away. That woman needed those flowers more than I did. "
This satisfied the kids, but not the husband. The next day he purchased half a dozen young lilacs bushes and planted them around their yard, and several times since then he has added more. aion gold

I was that man. The young mother was, and is, my wife. Now, every May, our own yard is redolent with lilacs. Every Mother's Day our kids gather purple bouquets. And every year I remember that smile on a lonely old woman's face, and the kindness that put the smile there.

Nothing in today's world is as big a problem as that of population. People begin to worry about the support capacity of the earth. And there might be only standing room for each person in the future.
wow power leveling,
Lima's population was 5.wow power leveling 7 million in 1985 but it grew to 9. 1 million in 2000. Tianjin's was 7.9 million in 1985. In 2000, it boosted to 9. 7 million. Such cities as London, Osaka, Moscow, Beijing, Karachi, Delhi, Jakarta, Seoul, and Teheran are having a similar population growth. Calcutta, Shanghai, New York, and Sto Paulo see a faster population explosion. Tokyo had 18.8 million in 1985. In 2000 it turned into 20.2 million. Mexico city had 17.3 million people in 1985, but in 2000, its population reached 25.8 million!
aion kinah,
What does the population growth mean? aion kinah It means greater and greater consumption and greater pressure for the earth. If more people are added to the world population without our being alert or taking any action, we would have only standing room by the end of the 21st century.
replica rolex,
Each government and the UN should see that population of each country and each city stops growing for the next fifty years.replica rolex
Everything grows in modern times, and it seems that nothing grows as quickly as population. Population keeps growing, and grows rapidly, firstly because people's living standards keep going up, with better houses, better clothing, better food, secondly because people know how to preserve themselves so as to live longer, and thirdly
cheap aion kinah,
because they have modern medicine and medical care to ensure that usual diseases can be easily cured.cheap aion kinah There is another cause for the growth of population. Few countries or governments have realised the importance of family planning. On the contrary, some encourage child-birth.
Here are some examples of population growth from 1985 to 2000 (as anticipated).
maple story mesos,
Lima had 5.7 million people in 1985 but there were 9.1 million by 2000. Tianjin used to have 7. 9 million in 1985.maple story mesos By 2000 its population reached 9. 7 million. Such cities as London, Osaka, Moscow, Beijing, Karachi, Delhi, Jakarta, Seoul, and Teheran are having a similar population growth. We would not be shocked if all other cities have this rate. But some cities, like Calcutta, Shanghai, New York, and Sto Paulo boost their population even more quickly than the above-mentioned cities. Tokyo had 18.8 million in 1985. The year 2000 found 20.2 million Tokyo citizens. Mexico city had 17.3 million people in 1985, but as population specialists had predicted, that reached 25.8 million in 2000 !
cabal alz,
The population problem is a universal concern nowadays. cabal alz Any government is a failure if it does nothing about its population growth.
