So I can't pick my arm up past my shoulder

So some of us went to Blue Mountain yesterday for a day of fun in the sun and the snow. The plan was to strap on the skies and snowboards and go nuts. Well, as you may have guess by the title... I kind of crashed. I don't know how, or why but crashed and in the process I wrecked my shoulder. It hurt, but not enough to keep me off those slopes. (Bonus tough guy points for me) So anyways after we were finished I realized that most movements of my arm would cause a stabbing pain in my shoulder... This was fun because I had to get my ski boots off with one hand!!! Anyways, long story short it hurt and it still does.

I went to the chiropractor and he said this;

"Well Jon, it looks like you have sprained your shoulder, severely aggravated your AC muscle." "I don't know how you didn't dis-located your shoulder, but you didn't!!"

Anyways so he put some electrical current through my shoulder and then used some kind of laser.... IT HURT!!!!

But I have more movement back in my arm now and it only hurts a little.

Lesson of the day... When Skiing, don't fall!!!

Quote Book

So some of you may or may not be aware that I just started a quote book. What is a quote book you say? Well, it is simply a written record of silly things that people say when talking either during a sermon or just out of everyday chatter.

An example of a funny quote from a previous quote book, is as follows:

While in England a certain individual who shall remain nameless, for now we will just call her Mel J, no wait Melinda J. So anyways she mention in a sermon that, "When I was younger I went to a special school where I learned to weld wood."

So anyways my first entry...

1) Linda Cho- Last Sunday night at CENTRAL

"So there is that movie Perfect Storm, you know the one with the big wave. Ya well I haven't seen it but I heard the wave was pretty big"

Explanation: She used the wave as an example, but yet had no idea how big the wave was nor what context it happened in...

-quote paraphrased by Jon Long-

I Love to Worship God!!!

Now before you read any further be aware that I have really found out what I love to do....

WORSHIP... I have always loved worshiping God, and using my musical giftings to show God how much I love him. This weekend was very long for me and very tiring. So Friday night I played with the youth band and just got to hang back and play and worship and not worry about leading a band and such... It was just fun. Then Saturday we had a band practice and I was sharing some of my songs, and half way through one of them I switched from sharing a song to worshiping with it. It was kinda of weird, and yet I loved it!!!! Sunday AM was TACF Airport and PM was TACF Central. I had a great time in the morning but was a little tired. I got to central and I felt real grumpy and such, but it was weird as soon as we started worshiping I just got carried away... It was great!!!

I don't really know what the point of this post is, but I think what I am trying to say is that I love GOD!!! For me at least, I just want to spend more time with God and worshiping him. It doesn't have to be just song as well. I love to just pray and sit and soak and let him minister to me while I praise him... It is just fun for me... So try it out. It will make bad times good and good times even better.

GOD IS TRULY MY HERO!!!

My New Phone

So the other day I was at school looking at all the different tables and such of cheap stuff. I talked to a guy about cell phones, and needless to say after reading the title, I got a new phone. It is pretty cool. It is a beepy phone which means I save money on work related phone calls!!!

I signed up for this great deal were I get...

700 day time minutes
Free Evenings and weekends
Call forwarding
Voice Mall
caller ID
call waiting

all for you guessed it $46.95!!!! Ya that is the total bill. No add-ons or extras they all came free!!!

I love it. I get so much more for like $20 less of what I was paying!!!

So my new phone has a crazy cool camera and has the ability for me to see pictures of people when the call, so next time you see me make sure I get your picture!!!!

The Ringer

So the other day I was at the movies with Jacob, Mark, and Bethany and we saw the movie "The Ringer". Just in case you are not aware of this movie, the premise is that Johnny Knoxville is pretending to be mentally challenged so he can bet and win a crap loads of money on the special olympics.

I had one problem with the movie and that was my responder. I wanted to laugh the whole time, but felt that I couldn't due to the fact that I would be laughing at people who are mentally challenged being themselves. There were moments however that were made as to be funny so I laughed so loud to make up for the parts that I couldn't laugh at.

The movie as a whole was hilarious and I really enjoyed. My favorite line in the whole movie "did you know Christ was a Jew?"

It came out of knowwhere and I laughed so freaking loud... Some of us have used the line in everyday life and I think it is even funnier after the fact.

Anyways if you haven't seen it, then see it. Also the new cool greeting that we will all use is shown to us by the character Glen. See it, use it, and have fun.

Peace out...
