This is the section of Strive4Impact.com, where you can read, every day, something I wrote since I was 13 years old (1993).  Some of it's adolescent angst, but some of it is quite good, and I hope you'll agree.  What are we up to now? Currently, my wife and I are traveling the world and blogging our experience.  We may have been somewhere you would like to go, or maybe we could come to meet you?  Either way, you may find our reviews and advice helpful.  Check it out at http://www.CarrieAndJonathan.com

Thank you for my writing skills

February 1994
(Jonathan is 14)

God,
Thank you for all you have given me. Friends, good family, people who care. Thank you for the abilities you have given me for this life. Musically, I have been given a great gift, which over time will develop into something much greater. Thank you for the physical abilities you have given me. Especially football. It's an amazing sport (as is any other), if you feel it. Thank you for the ability to see things about other people that they might not even know about themselves. The ability to know what other people are thinking about, but also the ability to help people before they get to their struggle. Most importantly, thank you for my writing skills.

They will impact many, and will hopefully bring them into a closer relationship with you.

Help me to get rid of my sinning against you. If I can get this done with, I would be a much better person for you and the people I meet that need you in their lives.

[To Peter:] "you are the rock. On this rock I will build my church."

Let me be a seed planted in the dirt on the rock. How the rain fall and let the seed grow a tree that will never die. A tree with his many branches as the stars. Each leaf, a worker, who will grow greener every day, and will cause more leaves to grow because of its influence.

(Thanks for seeing Fiddler on the Roof today.)

Thank you

Love, as always,

Jonathan
