2010 was a good year. God provided ways so that I could go to many different Apostolic Youth conferences and camps, I got to meet a ton of new people and friends, and old relationships/friendships have been strengthened. I wasn’t the best young person or the best son that I could have been. But that’s what a new year and new goals are for right?
In 2011 I don’t really have many “New Years Resolutions”, in fact I don’t really have any. But I do have some goals and commitments. Some of those goals are:
- Getting a better relationship with God and a better prayer life
- Workout and get in shape (already in progress!)
- Go to youth conferences and camps and make new friends
- Work like crazy on Apostolicbook
- Graduate High School! (forgot about this lol)
There’s a couple other things but I can’t seem to think of them right now. But I want to leave you with something that really gets to me every time that I listen to it. It’s a sermon titled “Tragedy of a Wounded Spirit” by Rev. David Shatwell. I heard this on Holy Ghost Radio and had to order the CD because it’s just that good. So, I decided to share it with all my friends and readers. If you’re going to listen to it, PLEASE listen to it all at one sitting or else it won’t have the right effect. Also keep your attention focused on it and try not to be distracted while listening to it.

Here’s just a little interesting thought that came into my head the other day (10/15). I was in second hour taking a test and this person sitting next to me started to sing a song. Of course it was a worldly song, but needless to say I had to bear the fact he was singing a song (and he wasn’t the great of a singer). But then someone sitting next to him chimed in and said, “I was singing that song yesterday and I got a headache, but it’s a good song!” The person that was singing it agreed that it was a good song. I hadn’t heard the song before, so I couldn’t agree or disagree. That then caused me to think, “what makes a song good?”
My mind started to then go over songs that I’ve listened to that I personally thought was good. One of those songs is Toby Mac’s newest single called “City on Our Knees.” It’s one of my favorite songs that he has made. Why do I consider it a good song? Because if you listen to the words and the message in the song, it has an awesome meaning behind it. Also, I like the face that it doesn’t sound like a Toby Mac song at all! Listen to it here and tell me what you think: Toby Mac’s City on Our Knees
Another song that I think is a great song is Jeremy Camp’s song “There Will Be A Day”. I love that song because it has great meaning about how there will be a day where there is no tears, no more burdens, and there will be joy forever more! I love it because it reminds me of what to expect when we get to heaven. Jeremy Camp’s There Will Be a Day
One of the most meaningful songs of this age is “More Beautiful You” by Jonny Diaz! This song means so much because the song writer has recognized the fact that much of young ladies of today are influenced by the horribly skinny “models” of today. They put make-up on, starve themselves, and do anything they can to get unhealthy skinny. This song tells the young lady in the song that she’s very beautiful just the way that she is. That she could never be more beautiful than what she is, without any make-up or anything. I consider this a very good song, especially for all the Apostolic young ladies. Jonny Diaz’s More Beautiful You
So what do you consider a good song? And how do you consider it that? Do you classify it by the meaning behind the words or the music and instruments? Let me know what you think of the songs I’ve posted. And let me know what songs you think are good!

I was going through the files that I have on a computer and found this really old file from the end of last year. It’s kind of funny the audio because it just ends and has nothing that leads up to the ending… Poorly made, but it was our first attempt to try and make an audio file! Haha
Here’s it for you to listen to, and once you listen to it post a comment telling me what you thought of it! Lol
Suscipo Mtu’s First Track
That’s it for right now. Later on I’ll try and post again and some of the things that have been going on in my life, but right now I’ve got to do some homework. So later everyone!
