tattoo

Well, I don't think that my father here on earth is going to be too happy about this. But, I know that he will still love me. And I know that it is ok, because, my father isn't necessarily going to be happy about all of the decisions that I make in the rest of my life, but he will always love me no matter what.
With that said, I can now tell you all. I finally got a tattoo. It has been carefully thought out and planned, and tonight was the night. It is on my right arm, and it is the cross, with the salvation army S going through it, and the swords criss crossing. It's whats inside of the crest. I didn't get the whole crest, just the s, cross, and swords. I love it. It didn't really hurt that bad. But it is bledding quite a bit right now. I told my mom on the phone that I got one, and she didn't seem to amused, actually, she sounded a little upset. But I could say the same about her that I said about my father. My tattoo was not gotten just out of spite of my parents what so ever.
So thats it. Just a pretty uneventful night, not much happened. Just sat around the house. LOL!! Well I gotta go now, I have to leave soon to go and pick up Anita's mom from the airport. Anita's bridal party is this saturday. Doesn't that just sound like fun?!?!?! I'll talk to ya'll later!

"While activity is impossible without life, there can be no strong life, whether bodily or spiritual, without plenty of activity, and there can be no strong salvation soldiers without plenty of fighting." Orders and Regulations for Corps Officers

Roots was freakin awesome! I really had a GREAT time. My dad called me last night, and was asking me about roots, and he was asking me what one of my high points of it was. And I was telling him about how we had the really AWESOME speakers. They are like die hard salvos, and they are all well know and well respected. But they didn't act like big shots, or hollyier than thou arts. They just acted like real people. They even actually revealed there flaws to us. They were real. They shared with us their struggles and their hard times, instead of just standing up there being fake, and telling us what we need to do to be better soldiers in this salvation war. I know God wants me to do His work for the rest of my life. Well duh. And I also know that He wants me to do that with the Salvation Army, Praise God! But I am not so absolutely positive that God is calling me to have the title Captain, or Major infront of my name. Now don't get me wrong, I know for sure that He is calling me to the work, that of a corps officer, but what if I do the same work with The Salvation Army, the same work that a corps officer would be doing, but I don't have Cpt. in front of my name. Does that make my work for the lord lame? I don't think it does. The quote from above says, "There can be no strong salvation soldiers without plenty of fighting". Thats what I want to be doing. I want to be fighting. I want to be on the front lines for Jesus in this salvation army. I want to do it now. I wish I could be what William Booth said to be, or do. He said, "Make your will, pack your box, kiss your girl, be ready in a week." I want to write more, but I gotta go back to work. I'll put more up later! Love ya'll!
