first before i get going I will have two interviews next week, not just one. IMG (sports marketing place) on Tues. Sept. 4th and Masada, INC. (fortune 500 clients mktg place) on Wed. Sept. 5th. Please pray for me on these days. I need all the prayers i can get and YES THEY DO MAKE A DIFFERENCE!!!!
I hit a golf club for the first time today. My success i can hit a wedge about 50-65 yards consistently.
But i hit my driver less than that!!! Hahaha so i definitely need a lot more practice but it was very fun.
Keep praying and i will give you updates on job progress.

yo its update time
i got a callback from masada inc. yesterday. They said they wanted to ask me some questions hopefully like this: "Can we pay you 400,000 dollars a year?" of "We would like to buy you a house to live in so you can work for us"
ok the second one wasn't a question but still. Anyway, I think that it means they want me for a second interview. I also have already set up my second interview for IMG set up for the fourth of September. Continue to pray.
Also on a very important side note. UPS in Greenville, SC just had a job opening for a full time sales rep. Is this God opening doors specifically for me?? I don't know that for sure but it is awfully funny. Anyway continue to pray that i would know God's will and that He would open and close doors for me.
I apologize for the delay but i just got dsl and i've been playing madden online. But the job process is still continuing and i will update you on any changes.
I'm going to call David Jacks now to make some videos!!!

Update
First of all i want to thank everyone for their prayers. I believe more than anything the prayers that everyone contributed yesterday convinced a company that they needed to take a serious look at this kid from Drummonds.
My first interview was wed. at 1230. Its a sports and entertainment marketing company. And right there I am already sold. But knowing how shady the world is im keeping my excitement ata stable level. So it was a preliminary interview and it was supposed to last about 5 minutes. We talked about bball for about 10. The guy that interviewed me used to play ball at Furman University. He played against Rodney Carney and the mighty University of Memphis. So yeah we had some things to talk about.
He told me that he was interviewing 20 candidates and taking the top 5 for a second interview. Well i left pretty pumped the man himself was exciting and so was i after i left. I was waiting to know if i had made the first cut.
At about 5 that afternoon i get a call asking me back for a second interview!!! God is truly blessing me!!! I don't deserve the love and commitment that you all have made to pray for me. I thank you so much for that. God is working but the war isn't over. I don't have a job yet so keep praying.
I had an interview today at 1030. It was with a company called masada inc. Again after i left i loved it. I am a mktg. guy for sure. I was asked a question that i want you to think about and i won't tell you my answer. The question was:
Do you love to win or hate to lose?
Think about it.
Anyway knowing that nothing is guaranteed and that i don't know pay, compensation and benefits and development opportunities I am trying not to lean one way or the other.
But come on sports and marketing in one job??? Are you kidding me?
The callback time for Masada is next week on Friday at noon. That is when i will know if they are interested in my services.
Pray that God will continue to bless me and that I will get His job and that His desires will become mine.
Again i can't thank you guys enough! Keep on praying.

quick update
hey for those of you that read this i want to let u know more specifically what you can pray for this week. Especially a certain mom of a guy that went to germany hahahaha. anyway, i have an interview at 1230 on wednesday afternoon at the place that i would be extremely interested in for a number of reasons one being that it advertises for sports teams.
not only that but i have to call and set up an appointment for a mktg. company that markets for the people that make quicken, quicken books, turbo tax etc.
and i also plan to walk up unannounced at the UPS in Greenville in hopes that they would let me talk to someone about possibly giving me full-time job there.
Please pray for me during this time on Wednesday and i will let you guys know how things go. i really need your prayers these employers will be going out on a limb to give me a job and i need God for this to happen so please pray and pray and pray.
I love you guys and i will be back in town and will see you all soon.

new feelings
I've always had this desire to win and get people on the bandwagon to success. But now im starting to realize how much of an impact i can have on individual's lives.
Let me tell you some of the situations that are going on.
One guy is going through a divorce and i know about it but he doesn't know that i know. How do i approach him? What do i say? Am i even able to give him advice, im not married...yet.
One guy is having some transportation problems and is one of my favorite guys at work, he's nice funny but is so innocent and i hurt for him.
One of the guys that i have trained from the ground up is leaving. Friday is his last day. I hope that he learned something from me to take with him in life.
One guy is an atheist. He knows where i stand and i know where he stands. He is observing me each and every day. I don't want to push but i do ya know. But i'm learning that God is in control and not me and im struggling with where my efforts fit in.
One guy has tremendous influence and brings light and joy in a postitive way. But he is living a life that is not what it should be. I'm hoping that i can reach him.
Being a good leader is one thing. I know that i am a good leader. God has gifted me to lead people. I see their wants and desires and can help them to reach them but at the same time they know who is in charge. But good leaders don't change lives. God changes lives. How can i be a good tool for God to use to change lives?

21 years old
Well im now in the adult club what do i do now?
It was an incredible birthday. Kristen surprised me by coming in town and we had so much fun together. She's gone now but in three days i get to see her again.
School ends this week and finally i'll get a little break to think about adulthood. So many new decisions come my way. I'm pumped nervous and tired all at the same time about me about to start a new chapter in my life at the end of this year and it seemed like this birthday was the beginning.
Please pray for me in the coming week on Wed. and Thurs. I plan to visit at least three places in hopes of getting a job. If you would like to know more specifically what to pray for let me know.
Plus Jeff and Carmen are getting married next week and that means me and Kristen are next. Wow i love growing up.

Adu to you
For more than half of my life i have made fun of soccer but now its probably one of my favorite things to do and watch. It hasn't surpassed football or tigers basketball and its not even close to playing the wii with kristen but it is growing in my mind.
And a couple of days ago Freddy Adu was traded. I guess you call it traded even though basically he was bought. In my opinion this is more like a pre move see man u and real madrid had him try out but they weren't ready to commit but they have some pretty good connections with the portugese team and want him to grow in his skill set.
As a 15 year old Freddy was supposed to bring the US out of mediocrity in the eyes of the soccer world. He had the entire hopes of the soccer nation on his shoulders. And now he's gone to Benefica a Portugese club.
I think this is great for Freddy it will take some pressure off of him and will let him do what he does best play the beautiful game. So Freddy i bid you adu and please bring it in the next world cup we'll all be waiting.
and for today i am

Thanks for bearing with me in this wonderful thing i call a blog.

School
So by the end of next week summer school will be over and i couldn't be happier. Its been extremely tiring. Its filled with some stress, but not as much as people would like to tell you, until yesterday.
I get an email from the scholarship coordinator at the U of M and apparently they have no record of my service hours that i have to do in order to retain my scholarship. This means they will have to put a hold on my scholarship for the fall semester. Mind you this is August 1 and the semester ended around May 10th.
So i reply "i have absolutely no idea what you are talking about i've never had to do service hours for my scholarship in the past when did this change and why are you telling me now." I know that it seems really mean and upset by i promise that i wasn't in the least bit yelling or spitting or did i have my football face on. If you have ever played football with me you know what im talking about.
They inform me that i have taken honors classes every semester and that negates your need to fulfill the hours requirement and they don't review records until after the semester. Which is just awesome considering that was a whole 3 months ago. I have no problem doing the hours but i didn't know. So now im in a good ol conundrum (i think that is how you spell it). I asked if teaching sunday school at the church is considered serving the community and it is thank you Jesus!!
So hopefully this all works itself out soon.
And i will be on my way to graduation in the fall.
