magic.
by some magical occurrence, I have returned to tumblr. I literally tumbled across it. My mind had forgotten, my fingers are rested, my mind more full than it has ever been.
welcome one, welcome all!

are we ready?
me and my small group are on the last day of a 3 day fast. many people have asked what we are fasting for, and my response has been ‘to see Jesus’. there was no specific reason in which i thought we should fast, except just feeling like the Lord was telling me we should… i feel like that is reason enough.
as i was reading the other morning in psalms, i happened to look over to...
we can try, but we will fail. Jesus is our only hope. Jesus is in control.

it's a revolution, and yes, you cannot resist it.
a few quotes from the book i just read, The Irresistible Revolution.
“We can admire and worship Jesus without doing what he did. We can applaud what he preached and stood for without caring about the same things. We can adore his cross without taking up ours. I had come to see that the great tragedy in the church is not that rich Christians do not care about the poor but that rich...
traveling
my, oh my. what an interesting event. in the past 8 weeks i think i have traveled more than i ever have (in the united states, of course). i have gone from missouri, to kansas, to new york state, to the jersey shore, to arizona (where i currently am), and colorado (hopefully in about 3 hours). I have slept in airports and flew here and there, all to realize… i love it. i love to travel and...

kamp
no, i did not spell it wrong. tomorrow i depart for kamp kanakuk in bransen, missouri. this is an adventure like none i have taken before. i am going someplace i know nothing about, with nobody that i know. yes, i have gone on adventures before, however this is different. i am going alone. i am going with an open mind and an open heart. i am willing to meet new people and build new friendships. i...
Chasing Francis
“If someone insists on labeling me in the future, I’d like to be known as a ‘come-and-see’ Christian. if someone asks me what kind of church i belong to, i want to say, ‘a come-and-see church’. come and see how we love the poor, come and see how we give dignity back to those who’ve lost it or given it away, come and see how we encounter God through every...

Church
so this morning was the first time since i’ve been here at Liberty that i attended a church that did not have about 3 million people at its service. i went to Brentwood Church, which is like 5 miles from school… and i really really liked it. i did not realize how much i missed the community of a local church family. although this church was still heavily populated with college...

Honor
i was thinking about being around in Jesus’ time yesterday. the crazy, wild things that were going on all the time around Jesus. it would have been so exciting, such and adventure to have been able to follow him around. he was like no other rabbi of that day. his theology was new, his ideas were different, and people either loved him or hated him. to my next point.. this weekend myself and...
A Philosophical Worldview
i was reading for philosophy yesterday and came to a stunning conclusion… i am pretty much brain dead. how often is it that i think past the surface about anything that really matters in my life? the book stated that all Christians need to be both spiritually regenerate and also intellectually engaged in our faith. “Our churches are unfortunately overlypopulated with people whose...
A New Start

Wow.
so many questions about what i believe, yet so little answers. i guess thats why i’m at college. and by the way; i love it here. i encourage everyone to come!
Theology.
so this morning i had my first theology class. it was very… interesting. the professor seems like a great guy and without a doubt loves Jesus. however i am very skeptical on a lot of the things he said. this may be because of his baptist background and my not baptist backgroung, however whatever the reason i feel like i disagree with some things he said. first of all, he said that he does...
Oh, Yes.

God really has something for me here and i cant wait to see what happens. until next time.
A New Journey: School
so here i am. 3 days before leaving for college. my feelings… i have no idea. im scared, excited, happy, sad, nervous, and many many more. i have no idea what to expect. i know about 2 people out of 15,000. i honestly never thought i would miss this place if i were to leave, but now that i am actually leaving i am realizing how much i have here. and i am going to miss it very much. however,...

A New Love: Reading
‘tis true. i truly enjoy reading, however, i need to find topics that interest me. i was on vacation at indian lake this past week and let me tell you; there is no better place in the world to read a book. so first i read ‘blue like jazz’ for my second time. it is without a doubt my favorite book. i read it last summer and i liked it, i read it again this summer and i loved it....

Sleep.
it really is such an amazing thing to me how we can just lie down, shut our eyes and lose all control of our bodies until we wake up. i state this to further tell you that i am severely in love with sleep. however, for some reason it can be so hard for me to get myself to enter into this state. last night for example. i got home at 2 am. now i have work at 9 am and i am as tired as a…....
Boys will be Boys
i am so thankful to be a boy. we have fun doing just about anything, especially when it means hurting each other. women dont do that, but we do it with such passion and excitement that only other boys can appreciate. God, thank You for making me a boy!

I love golf… i’m certain that if i had money i would play every day. thats all. enough said
Summer Life
its been a while since i last visited my tumblr. page and i apologize for this. however, my recent activities have hindered my ability to find time to write. summer life so far has been outstanding(considering i work maybe every other day and the rest of the time i sleep and hang out with my friends). but this life may be coming to an end. i have my first job interview today (and yes, i mean fist...

"What was I thinking?" -ß
there are only a few things that i regret about my high school years. one of which is not playing basketball. i had the chance to be on a 3 time state championship team, playing with the number 1 center in New Jersey (not to mention the entire east coast). by my senior year i would have been a starter and a good contributer to the team. now i have graduated and find myself playing pickup games...
Allergies
there are times of the year when i wish i did not have a mouth or a throat or a nose. and yes, alergy season is one of them. dont ask me what other times i would would wish to not have any of those things, because when i find out ill let you know…

"That Ain't Gansta, Thats Amatuer"
so tonight i attended a hip-hop concert. not only hip-hop, but holy hip-hop and may i say that i was very impressed. put aside names like “love, the poet” and “A1” (short for anointed one) the music itself was quite good. being a connoissuer of rap music, i very much enjoyed the beats and lines they were “spitting”. kudos to Big City for a job well dong in...
I Don't Want to Grow Up!
so last night dan and i went to our friend scott’s birthday party. we went to Friday’s with about 35 people we don’t know well, or at all… so you can imagine what that was like. yes, chaos. however the story does get better. after the dinner and after the bonfire (which i constructed because nobody else was willing or able to start an beautiful, heat exerting, blazing,...

so i have been writing these with a little link job and not from the tumblr. page. and on each of my posts there a links to the webpage i was at. so for all of you who went to my facebook page from my last post, forgive me. but now to more important things. i have recently been thinking about parents. who they are, how they effect their children, how the effect each other. throught this time of...
the end of a legacy
Facebook | Perry Tate
so today i quit organized baseball for a while. i decided not to play during this summer becaue of money and time. it is the end of the beginning in a way. i do, however, feel that i will return in summers to come. but for the time being i am finished. it has been 18 years of beautiful memories on the baseball field. from t-ball to college i have played it all. but now i...
day one:
Tumblr
i start this page by announcing a major life change. as of august 2007 i will no longer be living in New Jersey, the state in which i have been a resident for 8 years. as a sophmore i will be transferring to Liberty University in Virginia. although hesitant and at times nervous, i am more than excited to go through this change. i will be moving on august 18 and it is bitter sweet. but more...
WELCOME TO MY LIFE
so here i am. i have been sucked into the terribly geeky life of a blog maker… joining my friends daniel and david on this journey of letting people into my every move and thought (which can be very bland at times). on this page i will inform my life leeches on new information about me. new music, experiences, movies, people, experiences, and other wild things that happen in the life of the...
