Every wonder why we run from responsibility but want to have it all? Every wonder why we're so shocked when someone famous falls? Didja ever wonder didja ever wonder why the Sky is blue or if beauty is just a clue or if your soul has a body and no one saw the real you didja ever wonder didja ever wonder how you got here where were you before your parents Who made you notice your appearance? How'd you get here Can you see the world or just your street? Do you know your self or just the beats? Do you really know what you want? Do you really know what you need? You know the sun is Hot and warms your skin but you dont know more than a life lived by feelin You know the sun goes up and the sun goes down but as it turns out The earths spinnin round and round didja ever wonder? Didja ever wonder? Why Didja every wonder if a question would suffice? Didja ever wonder? didja ever wonder? Didja every wonder why?

A night write

Where does new come from?

Seems like old is never cool

and same old looks like school

but as a pro 1 billion throws and the money is a tool

where does annoyance come from?

Who slept to much or not enough?

Who played to soft or too rough?

Who wants more and whos had enough?

alone a failer is depression but pull us in and fight to win

the story of a God as man, a story come to life again

a life of freedom freed from sin. From the rotting path i slid

and on this path i will begin

new heart new mind Finding use in time

burn from within, one first one behind, heart goes then the mind

The out comes from within fill up to pour out

breath in to breath out

relief comes deeper than a drug to write is as a song or tune

and a poem is as my heart for you

a fire thats shut up deep inside, my bones i feel it shaking me its burnin inside

Always tearing free theres not a place it can hide

The burn of my soul never stops or grows dull

the sting of the air on my cheek like a bird in flight or dark in the night the strength all comes from my weak~ness

Heaven (Treasure)

Heaven is Burried tresure that no man's lived to discover
For years men have been searching trying to uncover
A mystery, a foreign land that reminds us all of home
Some shrug it off as makebelieve & those ones die alone

A ship of a thought sailed through my head the other day
Its name was Something More
No matter how hard I tried or with the Crow Bar of my mind pryed
The ship was stuck on shore

I recken this is about when it hit me
a fact that I'd denied and tried to hide since I's a boy
That ship in my mind had served to remind a dull witted human like me
That the treasure was real and tied to the keel was a burning that made me believe

Well, I searched for that treasure
and the whole earth I measured looking to find a way out
and as it turns out the burning inside burned that ship down to the depths
and along with a shout i felt very devout and found myself at pearly gated golden steps

Its not hard to forget when im living in it
the burning wasn't messin about
I guess the treasure was real and so was my zeal
it took me to die to find that one out

Eloquence, Relevance, Be and Believe

Im sure another language would be far more eloquent
but as far as I'm concerned they're talkin to an elephant
and I'll say what I know and play with the dough
but what flows deep comes up from far beneath
as a weapon in war or a sword in its sheath
The place we were born or who we were meant to be
If your selling yourself short, don't pretend to believe.

Just a Day (Nothing Speacial)

I don't want my heart to run away, I don't want to fail to seize the day.
With the seconds that pass comes another second that wont last
In this world where nothing is guaranteed, I don't want to wait for heart to match in deed
I will fight and and that is why I was restless last night
I called my AP and shared my need and with love and care he prayed for me
I prayed for him to follow thee to the best of his ability
God took that short phone call and conversation and encouraged my heart gave me hope and patience
I came back inside with Spirit's High, Realized I hadn't really prayed that day or night
and Such a seemingly small share of words could remind forgetful me Where to look next time it hurts.

Hope is LIght

Hiding is one
One with the sun
The antonym of fear and the dark
As the night grows older
and the cold feels colder
The black is killed with a spark
The moon travels by
Fulvous blaze streaking sky
Hope is light to listen is hark
The bite that bites bigger
Threats made by gun without trigger
Ending one day ushers the next to start

Canada, Cleveland, Chicago here we go

Andrew in front of His house during our travels to Amhearst the Ministry Team hung at his house for a sunday afternoon A picture of God's beauty I took at Niagara Falls If you have looked around on facebook you might have seen some pictures of me at Nigra falls on the way to Toronto Canada or pictures of us at Bair Lake Camp in Michigan, a camp Elliot worked out for us to stay at, on the way to Cleveland from Toronto.  So far Cleveland has been the fastest event and I bet a lot of that is because we are getting to know our Jobs and not having so many problems. The Host home in Toronto where (left to right) Denver, Zach, Kileab, Joel, Andrew, Tim, Zech, Jared stayed In Sidney Canada I stayed at a host home with Derek Kenny and we were able to love on the family and the kids, eat delicious food, take a tour of their farm and Skype my family and Mike Schults.  In Toronto there was 8 guys I was staying with and both nights we got there after midnight.  This particular event was at a church and just about every possible thing in the production and material side of things went wrong.  We had to figure out how to fit our rig in and adjust to a church rather than an arena.  We made a list of 30 plus things that went wrong where God showed His power.  It was actually a very relieving event because of all of the weakness and failers on our part God reminded and proved to us that we only do what we do for Him.  We can not do what we do without Him and that He is the only reason we are all still alive and serving Him.

I think there is some weird glitch on my computer, keypad or email. So here is a good way to keep up with me if you are curious to where in the USA I am and what God is doing in my life and the lives of those around me: Go to www.Facebook.com and become my friend if you are not and when you are my friend you can look at the pictures that get added and I will be glad to message, chat or text or call if I am available. Call or Text me at 316-650-6267 (So far I have only got 3 texts from emails I have sent out) This is what our fall tour looks like from city to city: Amhearst Massachusetts to National Youth Pastor Conference (on Campus) Garden Valley Texas to Toronto Ontario Canada to Cleveland Ohio to Chicago Illinois to Anaheim California to  Billings Montana to Thanksgiving Break! I am Currently in Chicago and I am about 30 min to an hour from my old house in Wheaten. I am at a host home and we will start work about 9 am tomorrow after an hour of worship and a lesson from ATF Leadership. From top down left to right: Rachael, Kileab, Hannah, Joel, Andrew at a Corn Maze in Ohio  Yesterday we had part of the day to explore Chicago so I was able to eat Deep dish Pizza with a couple friends from the Ministry Team and Deborah, who I worked with last year in the Leadership Department in Global Expeditions. It was a blessing to see her and hear about how she is being made fun of and argued with at her work because she follows Christ. I was able to give some extra pizza and pray for a guy we saw who is trying to get off the street. Earlier that day Andrew and I prayed with another man who wanted some food after Andrew bought him a subway sandwich and surprised him with it. Life is so pointless with out God! Our team is challenging each other in ways we can be more devoted to Christ. It is really cool. Please Pray: -That the team is united in Spirit and Mind. -That the team would be very sensitive to the Spirit and His leading -That God would encounter the team on a consistent basis in all sorts of ways. -That God would specifically convict and change people's hearts here in Chicago tomorrow and Saturday as we serve -That God would give you specific things to pray for -That God would allow us to be weak and Him Strong -That God would ruin the Devil's Schemes against His people. -That God would do HIs will in the Attendees hearts -That God would sustain, energize and lead the leaders of atf Thank you for your prayers. Bless His name I am weak... but He is strong Kileab
