Who am I
so over the summer my brother told me that he felt he was supposed to be born as a surfer in san deigo, and we both joked aroung about it and laughed, but i had been thinking that was was supposed to be born as a Scotish Highlander. It seems silly i know, but anyone that knows me, knows i know more about scotland than some Scots. The things i dont get these days though are when people freak out about living in another country or something like that, but know nothing about the country, except that it is really pretty. Now dont get me wrong one of the main reason i want to move to scotland is because it is a beautiful place, but i have acctually done some research about the place i have come to love. I love Scotland so much because it is a much simplier place to live. To live in the highlands (the north) and to live off the land and live with out technology, the way God made us, thats paradise for me, and to not worry about money, because why would you need money, you dont need to buy anything, you just eat what ever you grow, and build what ever you need. Now im not talking about going off and living by myself in a stone house, no i would like to live in a community in the highlands, yes kind of like the one William Wallace lived in at the begining of Braveheart. To where there is a strong sence of community, where if you do need something, then you trade goods with you neighboor. I just feel like living here in the woodlands where we are more concerned with whats inside our house, then what is outside, thats not the way it is supposed to be. I'm going to live in scotland with the Ross Clan (family decendent) in the north and have a farm and heerd sheep, and fight with a sword. until then ill just finish highschool, and go to college.

Brother I love love love to see you writing. It thrills me to see that you're coming out of the woodlands with a honest distain and sickness for vanity and for things created. Romans 1:25 says we are bent, and desire the created and it is only through the holy spirits lead that we find ourselves unable to live without community and desperately love our neighbor. So i say embrace it brother.
Things are happening up here at Asbury I don’t want you to miss out on, so keep it in your mind. But wherever you go, serve the lord and be in communion with those around you. Your one of the people i look too when I struggle with how to love. Your heart is pure in the lord my brother, don’t let the world tell you your path is crazy.
Write more! I love to see your thoughts, poetry, art, music I want it all!
