The Christmas post

Actually not a real Christmas post, i was clearing my camera card in preparation for "The Awesome Road Trip" this week(end). So here's a few random pix that were lingering on my camera. Hope everyone had a very merry Christmas. I did!

"Just some lights"

Took this while in between stores, Christmas Shopping

I think this is the first 'family portrait' i've put up here. So we'll call this: "The picture of the family as a young family"

Merry Christmas!!!!!

I really wish i had something more creative to say. But anywho, here we are at another Christmastime, with all the family, friends, food, gifts, giving, reindeer, running, economic growth, and general happiness you can handle. I'm super excited about this amazing(ly) long weekend!!!!!!!
I saw 'I Am Legend' just a bit ago. Put that one under the "suspense" category! Very enjoyable.

I thought (insert appropriate joke here): when was the last time i gave something. When was the last time i gave something without ever expecting something back, or even expect the person i gave the something to, to even like what i gave them. When was the last time i gave something that everyone wants and needs, and a majority of the recipients hated my guts. Sound familiar? How about if they hated my guts so much that they murdered me (even after the option of killing a (more) guilty man). And i wasn't even forcing my gift on them, I simply gave them a choice to accept a free gift. Now does it sound familiar?

Ya, that was my hourly cheesiness, but maybe it will sound cool to someone.

YIPEEEE!!!!!

CHRISTMAS IS HERE BABY!!!! Or is it the Christmas baby's here. Anywho; MERRY CHRISTMAS!!

It was that much sweeter to get out of school at 11:20 because there was no more work! So i got home and looked for a CD i've wanted to put on my mp3 player for a while and that led me to my current task: copying approx. 20 or so (of my parent's old) CDs that i think i may like/have liked. Thus far, Christmas break is most excellent!

I need to start Christmas shopping = O

It hit me really hard today: while watching commercials no less; why is it improper to hint at Christ's name, but expected to repeat his actions (of giving).



I think i mentioned earlier that i'd put some pix up from this weekend.

my lil' sister's end-of-the-year violin concert. (this pic is the high school group that played after her)


Photo experiment: 15 sec shutter, 200ISO in my back yard @ about 11PM

update

kinda cool weekend. Lots of working and helping. Exams tomorrow and Tuesday, and a "free" day on Wednesday. then Christmas, fun and sleep. Pix to follow as soon as i can.

oh ya. So about a month ago i 'misplaced' the single piece that's needed to connect my tune machine to.....anything. I finally ordered another one the other day, and am now 'back to normal'. But i was pleasantly surprised that i'm not addicted to my tunes like i thought i was. I think i even listen to the radio more than anything now.

I'm tired

All you need to know about me

Today: i ran out of gas (in my car) and messed up popping a bag of popcorn. If you don't know me, this describes me pretty well.

listening to: Eric Hutchinson

Things i like

Just some stuff i leaned about me this weekend:

"i like":

-Cinderella Man

-being responsible

-good food

-good friends

-snow

-ideas

-the beach (anytime)

-old music

-water

-long time periods without stress


"things i don't like":

-standardized tests

The results of No-Shave November!

Yes, i participated in no-shave November. I'm not really partial to the way whiskers look on myself, so i won't continue with it.

I'm tired but not sleepy. I guess that comes later. it's weird to not have a major project due tomorrow.

....

I remember i was trying to remember something but i forgot.

Quotes of the Day
- Woody Allen - "Eighty percent of success is showing up."
- Tommy Cooper - "Last night I dreamed I ate a ten-pound marshmallow, and when I woke up the pillow was gone."

Here goes another one!

So...this weekend will include:
-SATs
- A Christmas Party

This weekend will hopefully include:
- Getting an essay done
- Getting a project done
- Getting both done or half-way there


Yes, i am a certified nerd.

Something Worwhile

I'm going to try to make it a point to no longer blog pointlessly. I am going to try and only say something when i have something worth saying. (hmmm....)

So, here it is:
First; the news. Thanksgiving was very relaxfull. Friday was the day we (my family +1) took the Operation Christmas Child shoe boxes up to the Charlotte distribution facility. We had about forty-five boxes i think and helped process about 30,000+ (i'm guesstimating, ya'll can help me out with the number).
I don't think I've said how the basketball game went on Monday. It was not only my first time doing the scoreboard, but it was also my first time to know what all the basketball rules are. On the upside, it can only get better from here.



I'm thinking radio would be fun next year.....at least that's my thought this second.

Psst!: do you like my attempt at Christmas colors?

"stay on target"

Just make it past my history and physics tests tomorrow....uh....today. Half-day of school today! Then food and sleep for about three days solid. Ahh. I need this.

some new stuff

I was pretty tired this week (see last post). But i got to sleep in today!! Our class did it's babysitting duties last night. It was actually not bad and a (little) fun. While playing 'duck..duck..GOOSE' one of my class mates was labeled: "fried chicken".

Also new: I have been drafted to manage the scorboard for my school's home basketball games. First game is tomorrow. If you know me at all, you may know that i don't know what i need to know about the rules of basketball. So i should be learning a lot tomorrow night.

Of the many movies coming out this Wednesday, 2 look promising: 'August Rush' and 'I'm Not There'. Also just found out that Danny Glover has a new movie coming out. He's a classic. Google "honeydripper" if you're interested.

Get your Samaritan's Purse, Operation Christmas Child shoebox ready to ship by Friday.

Here's a pic from i-95. The sun was setting behind this awesome cloud cover all the way up to Columbia.

....ugh

My history project is done. yay.

Same old same old....

The routine is in full effect right now. Not much going on here. It was most excellent to have the big bros. down for the weekend.

um......

New pic on my picture page....

and the random stuff gathered from my world wide web wanderings:

The Random Quote:

Not a shred of evidence exists in favor of the idea that life is serious.
- Brendan Gill



And the random picture that came through on Blogger Play:

Some new pix

I really like just about anything Google makes, so i'm giving this page creator thing a shot. I know it's probably just as easy to make a new blog, but i just wanted an excuse to try something new.

This page is solely for showing pictures. I'll do my best to put up at least one new one a week. Or i might just delete it if it becomes a hassle. Enjoy.

(:the real:) big 100!

Did you know that Blogger counts saved posts? So this is the real 100th post.

Just wanted to clear up the confusion for all ya'll, because i know everyone was up late counting
posts.

NO SCHOOL TOMORROW!!!!!!!!! = D (some teacher work-day.....i'm not wondering about the details)

First yearbook deadline Wednesday. I was actually ready for this one ahead of time, until i volunteered for/was drafted for another 2 pages. Oh well. It is fun, and i guess nothing would ever get done without a deadline.

Facts Of The Day: -It has been one year today since Saddam Hussein was sentenced to death.
(according to Wikipedia, i don't keep up as much as i wish with polotics)
- Fifty (50) days until Christmas


So remember, remember the fifth of november and stuff.
"Don't wake me, i plan on sleeping in".

Big 100

My blogger dashboard tells me this is the 100th post to this blog. yay! (?)

I've noticed how there is no cruise control for life. In just one day i went from chillin' to scrambling to relief. I think life is a very stop and go kinda deal.

Not much new, i went to visit Tusculum college in Greeneville Tennessee on Friday. It's defiantly one I will consider. But that's about it.
Oh! I rarely ever watch SNL, but i had to when i heard Brian Williams was hosting it! Everything i saw before i fell asleep was great! So......if you missed it.....it was good.

We've all been here

they call it "futbol" everywhere else

Yes, i am glad i got to go to the state championships for my senior year, and it would have been even better if we could have not gotten 4th (aka: last, in my case), but much fun was had by all. As far as i know that was the last time i will play on an organized team in a league format...thing.

It was almost surreal-like to play my last home game on the 23rd. I've looked at, run/walked on, sat by, laughed on, had water fights on, and played many a soccer game on that field behind our school. And now i never get to play on it again with the school team =' (

haha, ok i really not crying, just realizing that i'm growing up.


So that's life, trying to finish up some college applications before deadlines run up and punt everyone's expectations out of view of the mind's eye. In other words not much time till applications are due.

Here's a quick vid from the state fair someone else may enjoy.

a change

I broke the routine by going to the Sate Fair on Friday. It was after my soccer game that we came back and won after half-time! Much fun was had by all, and i kept all my cookies to myself.

(from left to right:) Driving to the fair after the game, hope you can read, classic, weee!, circles, wii, a duck slide

Then today, i went to listen to Josh McDowell with my youth group. He's the man. You know he's going to be good when he walks out wearing a white suit jacket, windpants, a skater-T, and blue, red, and green shoes.


(P.S: let me know if you like the photo layout i'm trying)

It's getting dark before the moon's up!

Yes, fall is finally falling after fidgeting in a foul fetish of fury to forget to figure.

(and the abridged version: it's starting to get colder)


I love summer because you get out of school and you can wear your swimsuit all day if you want, or spend all day at the beach or sleep in or make some $$$, or go somewhere

I love fall because you can step on crunchy leaves and jump in crunchy leaves and wear sweaters all day long and play sports (because it's not too cold or too hot (just right) and nature is giving it one last heave-ho before winter and Christmas is closer!!

I think i've found the rule for listening to Christmas music: once it's cold enough to wear a sweater, you can listen.

Today didn't look like it was going to smile at me, but i'm glad i smiled at it. (even though it was hard and i didn't really want to)

Thank you God

something new

For the past few days i've just been doing the "school routine". Except for my sweet....seventeen. It was most excellent, and yes i got everything i wanted =D
Then there was today. After school was the sweetest soccer game i have ever played. This is the school that beat us before 1-7 (actually just their soccer team). But i was pretty confident about it all day. So with ten minutes left in the first half, the score is us: 4 them:0 and a guy on the their team breaks his collarbone (or got it broken or something.) So we waited the half hour for the ambulance to come (and it actually drove on the field....cringe) and get him stabilized.
So at half time our coach says: "the bad news is these guys have come back from losing at half time at three other games, the good news is we're going to beat them." So with about 20 minutes left in the last half, the score is 4-3 (us winning) But we got one more goal in with less than two minutes....it was sweet. It was sweet to hear the crowd cheering. (That's a tip for you professional fans; cheer on your team!!)
And this was the team that our school has not beat in like 6 years. And the first game they lost this season. It was sweet.

(That's me on the right in the white shorts ; )

So that's all the news from this end of the universe
Peace, love and a root beer float to all of you

Trying to keep the letters straight in my head

I was going to say on here yesterday that i'm suspicious of my ADD tendencies, and was wondering if i am an ADD dude.......but i got distracted and forgot to put that up. But it's more likely i'm just looking for an excuse for my lazy forgetfulness.

That's all the news for today. Going to bed now so i can get up early to take my SATs tomorrow! Woo woot! Here goes another four hours well spent.....

pix from weekend: amazing!

Coaster Ridin'

caption contest?

a beautiful daySponge Bob 3-D!!The shoot 'em up scooby doo ride....thingI was told after this picture that i was not allowed to take pictures
Trevor Mcneevan of Thousand Foot KrutchRelient k lots of zoom + night time = bad pix (this is John Schneck btw)Mr. matt theissen himself

wow *sigh*

So much!!!! Still workin on getting some pix up. I can't believe it has been a week already since that amazing weekend. This week is about the opposite to last week. I've been up later at night at least an hour later and up earlier in the morning about an hour earlier than usual this week. See You at the Pole was pretty sweet like i said; that night (Sep. 26) i went to a SYATP rally at a big baptist church around here. It was really sweet and opened my eyes to how good i got it a my Christian school. These kids that went to public schools were rejoicing that they had 30-50 people at the flagpole (some had more, but i think that was at smaller elementary schools). Our school had around 150 students and all the teachers out. So much....i take for granted.


All week was preparation for student chapel on friday. I knew it was going to either flop or rock. It ROCKED!!! So much.....was ad libbed. We all (my class) had a great time and my little shpeel (speech) didn't have any major lengths of silence.

Then we lost our game to Northside 7-1. Thptbtbphtb. Sorry, that was the air coming out of my ego.
But i did get to see Frank again.

So that's it, for now, i'm starting to consider leaving out so many details so i can keep some readers....

just so your not up all night waiting

Pix to come soon of Carowinds, and the show (maybe). It was just about the best weekend imaginable: five free movies, high speed roller coasters, and two sweet concerts. All with friends/family! it was most excellent!

Oh, and "See You at the Pole" went pretty well. It was a good day.
And one more thing: we won both soccer games we had back-to-back this week. It has been a good week thus far.

This is gonna be sweet!!!!

That says "relient k" and "carowinds" at the bottom!

Oh! and i went to the beach in the rain today. That was weird.

I love life (right now)

Today was amazing. I have off school the rest of this week for some teacher conference. And today had a good time with some great friends at the beach and other places. All day i thought it was going to rain, but it didn't which was good because i didn't burn and it wasn't too hot. Then i went to youth group where there was an exceptional worship service. All this was made even sweeter by the thought that in the back of my mind i'm going to a sweet concert this weekend (Relient K + TobyMac!!!!!!!!!) I think that always makes things sweeter; when you don't have anything burdensome in the back of your mind to think about.

But isn't it laughable how i (or maybe even you) love life pretty much only when it's lovable. When it's harder to love life i usually don't love it. But life (at any time) is an amazing gift from God. It's sad how i "measure my day by how many things go my way".

Song of the day: "So Much for My Sad Song" by Chris Rice:

The first thought through my sleepy head
When I fell out of my bed
Is "I hope the sky is gray,
I'm gonna write a sad song today."
So I make up my mind, slip on my shoes
I'm gonna pick up a paper and read the news
'Cause I'm sure to find plenty 'nuff blues
To write my sad song
But when I open the door and the sun spills through
Takes away my breath and I think of you
And the only blues to hit my eyes
Are those beautiful blues in the clear blue sky!

So much for my sad song
So much for my sorry attitude
Let's make this a love song instead
'Cause I'm so in love with you
C'mon let's go out and play
Save the sad song for another day
No time for tears, I'm wearin' a smile
So much for my sad song

So I pick up the news like I said I would
Drop my jaw right where I stood
'Cause the headline reads: "All The News Is Good,
Because Love Is On The Way!"
And love floods the world right before my eyes
Everybody is dancin' and slappin' high fives
And such beautiful music fills the skies
And we all sing along
And now I snap out of my daydream
And I can't believe how real it seems
But I keep on dancin' anyway
'Cause it's turning out to be a marvelous day!

Sometimes I measure my day
By how many things go my way
And when things go wrong I usually get mad
But this time I’m glad that my song didn’t turn out sad

some pix of the events

Finally! right? I know ya'll have been waiting for hours on end for the rumored photos and here they finally are:

Senior '08 pix @ Huntington park (aka: the beach that has a castle)
we had to get up early (i won't say exactly so i'll still feel like it was early (it wasn't extremely early)


we decided to bury cameron while waiting for everyone to get there picture taken. this is how far we got.
it was perty' pretty

giving the photographer bunny ears



The photographer (put up with alot)

leapfrog! (sorry, i don't know how to turn it clockwise the easy way, but you have to look at it for a sec to see Cam already over Robbie's head)

the sunrise
i might put up the professional pix later. Maybe. Or you can come to my graduation on May 25, 2008 (baby!) (or some time around there) and see them for yourself. But my mom will probably send a picture with an invite to everyone who reads this.



My last J4J show of 2007 (9/16/07):

"The Amps"
10 minuets till show time

Show time (it's a little blurry, i didn't want to take attention from the song)

Blogger Play

This just came up on the blogger dashboard. Pretty sweet and cool. Cool and sweet(?) It's nifty. It shows photos that are being uploaded to the blogger site in real time. click on a pic to see the blog. Cool Right?!

This one's for Lee

This post is dedicated to Lee, who waited the 4 and a half hours for me to take my college testing the first time, while he was bored out of his mind. (maybe you weren't, but i sure was)

So, yes the ACTs are finally done, SATs in a few weeks....

But i do have a guitar concert tomorrow!!!!!!!!! Same as last one (different church though). But i missed the practice for it today because....you know why. Pix from the show later. I have to get up extra early on Monday for senior pix out in the wild.

Busy

I'm going to miss the soccer tourney this weekend because of those darn ACTs i keep talking about. Sorry if it's getting annoying to you as it is to me.

This story just in....
I LOVE SONIC SLUSHIES, SMOOTHIES, LIMEADES, AND JUST ABOUT ANY OTHER DRINK THEY GOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
They're like my starbucks equivalent.

And i got a facebook last week. I'm not sure if that was such a great idea or not. It does take up too much of my time like i thought it would, but i am able to keep in touch with lots of people i wouldn't be able to otherwise. I don't know.

Never Forget

Lot's happening!

I didn't get a chance to put up a patriotic post yesterday because: (here we go) we had an away game that we got out for at one o' clock....

2:50: POW!!!! everyone (except the bus driver ; ) wakes up to a popped tire.

3:30: Arrangements are made to fix the tire and pick us up (we never got picked up btw) to go play our game @ five o' clock

5:30ish: The tire/rim is replaced/fixed

6:10: arrive at opposing school

6:15: find out game has been canceled due to lack of refs and opposing team

8:15ish: Leave school after watching volleyball team play

9:00: arrive at wendys

9:47ish: Leave wendys

12:00: Arrive @ my school

12:20: Arrive @ home

1:00AM: Go to sleep after reviewing ACT junk


So i won't forget this September Eleventh for a while either.
Not that it's all that late, just disorienting to get home that late after school. So don't forget September 11, 2001 peoples. That's about all i wanted to say....i have to go sell yearbook/senior ads, get ready for ACTs, student chapel, piano, soccer, and do homework. Oh, and pick some college (before December) that will not only take up the next four or so years of my life, but also have a large part in determining the direction of the rest of my life (not this blog).

Happy Grandparents Day!

What else do ya have to say about your Grandparents?!

or: Grandpappy, Pappy, Mama, or whatever else you call 'em!

I guess i'm just a slow learner

Isn't it weird how you have to learn a lot of things twice. You first learn how to speak, then learn how to communicate. You learn how to think, then how to reason. You learn how to learn, then how to learn from learning. You learn ideas, then create ideas. You are taught beliefs, then believe beliefs. You learn how to use your body, then learn about yourself, then you surprise yourself.

the thought highway of my head

That was a big bowl of mac and cheese....

i like orange juice

i should get that little bit-o-homework done

i should really get ready for the ACTs

what was that i was going to watch on youtube yesterday?

oo....i have to get up early tomorrow!

i need to "get ready for college"

what does balsa wood taste like?

do elephant's 'feet' really count as feet (no ankles or toes)?

shoutfest and something completely random

Shoutfest was not only was this past saturday, but also amazing. It's taken me this long to get some pix up because i've been bachlerin' (alone) it this weekend and will continue till this....um, saturday i think.

Ya, back to Shoutfest! There was a battle of the bands between 3 local bands at first. That wasn't too bad, the winner will go on to Nashville to compete for a record deal or something. Then there was like 10 or 12 other bands and they just kept on going back and forth between two stages, so i had the option to get as close as i wanted! Here's the link to the album, but i think this video below will pretty well explain how sweet it was. I didn't really listen to Jeremy Camp much before but it was a really really really really sweet show right up front. I was talking and standing right next to the guy Jeremy asked to get up on stage with him and sing "Right Here". The only downside was that Shawn McDawnald and Everday Sunday were able to be there. They were the two i really wanted to see. It was still a blast. Oh, did i mention the whole event was free!!!







And this was just a video i found while being a bored bachelor that made me laugh.

yippee!!!!!!!!

Our first soccer game of the season was yesterday. We lost. And my leg hurts now. oh well.

But SHOUTFEST 07' is saturday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It's basically a big music bash, with peoples like Jeremy Camp and everyday sunday. I'm super excited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Here's some pix from the show this past sunday: "Pre-show" and "Mid song"

"I hope the rock show goes good"

I just got back from my guitar class concert. IT WAS SWEET!!!!!! lots of fun, and i played electric guitar the whole way through! I don't think we even messed up noticeably anytime. My guitar wasn't really staying in tune too well, so i used another guys' telecaster (i think that's what it was), but it was a sweet guitar. Got another show the 16th of September!

Everything i learn on typing tutor in computer class hasn't carried over to typing at home yet.

I'm tired. I wish i was a superhero and my super power was my super ability to ignore time.....oh wait, i do that already!

I really need to go to sleep.

everyone else says it's a good idea

I just registered for the ACT testing (no writing). I'm hoping that was a good idea. What have i gotten myself into. In hindsight, i should have titled the last post:

"the beginning of the end of the beginning"

Back to School

Today was the beginning of the end of highschool. But i think it's going to be a blast. Three new teachers though will take some getting used to. More later....i have......(pause for dramatic effect).....homework to do. yippee

The Last Friday of Summer

This is it. The last week of summer has been pretty sweet. Soccer practice, movie marathons, poker nights, dinner theaters (or whatever you call Medieval Times) , staying up late, and NO WORK!!! Except for those two book summaries due the first day of school. = (

But this summer has been amazing. I think i might take almost every opportunity to travel as often as possible.

ho hum

I was going to tell ya'll (or maybe just someone) about how bad soccer practice was last night, but it really wasn't all that bad.

but i will tell how much i'm glad i got my new tune machine. I wanted to get this thing for almost a year and it was worth the wait. Right now i'm using the free one-month trial thing from best buy/rhapsody. I could download the entire music library from the store if i had enough room, and keep it for as long as i pay the fifteen bucks a month. But my free trial ends about the time school starts back up next week. = (

so ya, life's good!


THE FOLLOWING IS FOR IF YOU'RE BORED:
(new poll at the bottom of the page)

Dont wake me i plan on sleeping in

Today was the first day since 4th of July that i really got to sleep in! Not all that late, just till about noon, but it's really really really nice to be able to stay up late again. I feel so lazy saying that. hahaha. Just found this: National Sleep Foundation. I think i found my career. haha

So tonight is soccer practice, first one of the season. My last season = (


I'm not as excited as i was about school next week after sleeping in this morning.

don't you love to laugh at nothing

Almost done

Awaken (the youth group thing at my school) had its last meeting this past Friday. And my first soccer practice of my senior year( =O ) is Monday! Then First official day of school is August 20th =(.
So i guess summer is basically over. Almost.
Oh, and my last day of work is Friday = D

I went to a baseball game tonight. Pretty cool. Even though we lost. 6-2

it was SWEEEEET!!!!!!!!

Don't you love it when you find what you didn't know what you were looking for

Blessed be your name
In the land that is plentiful
Where the streams of abundance flow
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
When I'm found in the desert place
Though I walk through the wilderness
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

Blessed be your name
When the sun's shining down on me
When the world's all as it should be
Blessed be your name

Blessed be your name
On the road marked with suffering
Though there's pain in the offering
Blessed be your name

Every blessing you pour out,
I turn back to praise
When the darkness closes in, Lord
Still I will say...
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your name
Blessed be the name of the Lord
Blessed be your glorious name

You give and take away
You give and take away
My heart will choose to say
Lord, Blessed be your name

I'm not important?

I just got off the phone with a lady from the SAT's.


She asked, "Are the parents of Dustin home?"

"They're not available right now (you stranger) but this is Dustin."

"oh, well you're not in any trouble, justed wanted to let know some important information about scholarships and the SAT's. I'll call back later."

And now for something completley different

My mommy and sissy went tent camping last week for a few days. I decided to spend a night with them. All i know is that my mom must be a jedi or something, because she used her mind trick on the weak minded (that would be me) to convince me, not only to spend the night, but also to wake up at 5:30 the next morning to walk down the beach. It was a walk with the park ranger lady and about 15 other little 7-something year-olds looking for loggerhead sea turtles.
Long story short: i was very tired on Friday. And no turtles were found. But hind sight's 20/20!

Here's a picture of the campfire.



I do like camping, just not going to work the next morning. I would have thoroughly enjoyed the walk in the morning if i would have had the day off or something.


Yesterday a man from Bulgaria (that is working here this summer) got in touch with my dad, and said he wanted to come to our church. He has been saved at the beginning of this summer and was very excited to learn more about our God. But it was funny, Bulgaria is the only country in the world that has the 'yes' & 'no' head nods backwards. So for a while, we were asking him some questions and he was thinking he was saying yes but got us all confused. We had a good laugh once it was all sorted out.


Ya not much else....oh wait:


"GARDEN VALLEY, Texas (AP) -- Previously unreleased music by the late Christian singer-songwriter Keith Green is about to become available.

Green and two of his children were killed 25 years ago this month when their private plane crashed on his ministry's Texas ranch.

The accident doused one of the brightest lights in the Jesus Movement, a youthful Christian counterculture. Green was posthumously inducted into the Gospel Music Hall of Fame.

An iTunes release with music never before heard by the public, but saved by his widow, Melody, is planned for August, and more material is to be released next year.

In the 25 years since her husband's death, Melody Green, now 60, has remarried and divorced, suffered a stroke, and sold the Texas property to Teen Mania."
