Late Night Update.

My last night at ITT was Friday, my gosh believe it or not I will miss that place.. I wouldn't really call it a school.. i mean it was a school just not the traditional College campus that you would associate college with.. I have earned a Associates degree in Computer Networking Systems.. It is a somewhat exciting time in my life..

I don't know if this is the direction I want to go.. I did go to college for computer networking but I know that is not something I am truly passionate about.. Honestly if I were to say one thing that comes to mind, besides serving our Lord.. I would have to say Film.. Directing, editing, writing, I enjoy doing it all.. and perhaps I could make something good if I really put my mind to it..

I have made some films in the past and they all received decent reviews.. My senior video starred Chris Armineo.. one of my best friends at the time.. I called it playing your client.. It was a lot like the movie Phone Booth but with my own little twist to it.. Armineo is in California looking for work as an actor.. I hear he is an extra in a few big budjet films.. But I can't be to certain..

I think I am going to start writing a screenplay.. perhaps God is pointing me in that direction.. That is really something I pray about every night.. some direction.. I am ready to serve my purpose the Lord has made me for.. Thing is.. right now it feels like a mystery.. and I don't feel like I have gotten much feedback that I can interpret or anything..

With me graduating that opens some time up for me.. to get involved in other things..



So I am checking out Good News Jail and Prison Ministry.. I am going to attend the training and I figure if It isn't for me.. at least I got some information out of the deal.. and I will.. No charge.. which is a blessing in itself.. I think I could really help these people find Christ because even though my story is probably not near as intense.. it is a story ALL can relate too for the most part.



I have met a girl at SCM, her name is Naomi.. Now back in September when i started going to these classes.. I really didn't know what to expect.. Here is a guy who just became born again in July..and by August he is already signing up for a Bible Doctrine and Old Testament class.. I felt overwhelmed by the whole thing but I said I got this..and for a while I could keep up.. now I am a little behind haha..

Anyways from what I know Naomi's story is pretty amazing in my eyes.. She has been a Missionary most of her life and for the most part hasn't even lived in this country.. Her family has lived in Hong Kong, and some parts of China that I can not recall at this time..

What fascinates me about this family..and some other families is the way they are.. truly compassionate caring people.. I can see it in there eyes.. and they speak it from there tongues...

Now me myself.. I was a dude who wanted nothing more then to benefit myself with the worlds candy.. lusting desires for woman, drugs and alcohol parties, and the dirtiest mouth you could imagine.. I would cuss so much that I made Jonah Hill from Superbad look like Big Bird from Sesame Street..

None of these people had that in mind.. they lived differently and it soo showed.. they have a love for the Lord and the Lords people that I can see and pickup from a mile away.. I think that is amazing in all honesty.. and I strive to be like that kind of person (an imitator of Christ) I have my bumps and sometimes I derail..but I am working on it.. rest assured..

Naomi has joined up with Operation Mobilization, which is a worldwide ministry that travels by ship and spreads the word of Jesus Christ. Naomi isn't getting paid.. In fact she has to come up with sponsors to help in supporting her two year trip.. The Lord is really at work in this situation.. She went from like 26% covered, to over 40% in a matter of one day! I feel like the Lord was telling me to give some .. so that is what I did.. I hope my financial assistance helps and future aid I will give to her.. If you are reading this and want to help this girl out please contact me at videokevin@gmail.com.. She needs all the help she can get..

I may do it one day.. but for now.. I will just let the Lord guild me where he wants me.. if that is the future route so be it.. I look forward to it if it is..

Looking back and reflecting on my life.. its really amazing to think how far I have come..and the changes I have went through throughout my life.. I am blessed.. and I think the Lord..

Keep the faith.. Christ is coming back..
Kevin out..

thanks for posting that - it's an encouragement to me! :) (It was Hong Kong though, not Tokyo...) Here's another link:

and you know, when they were talking about the prison ministry and at the table afterward i kept wondering if you had seen it and/or checked into it... idk, it just seemed like with your background and all, you'd have a pretty cool testimony there and you relate really well with people...

Congratulations on completing your Associates!!!
