Ok so in case you don't know me or where I am at, I will explain. Wait! let me sum it up. Partly because I don't really have the time to fully explain. So where do I start? well I will start by saying that I could say I am in a foreign country already. Well not really. See I am actually in Montana, and yes I know this is a state and not a country. To this California boy it to a point is a whole new culture, which is different then a foreign country! So after all that babbling I decided I will actually tell you what is going on in my life.
As I said earlier I am in Montana. I am at the International Messengers Mountainside Missionary Training center. I am wrapping up the last few days of training to become a missions intern with International Messengers. I have been at the training center since the end of August. While here I have had classes that deal with a number of different topics. How to Study the Bible, Cross Culture and Prayer are some of them.
Along with learning lots of new things I have made some new very special friends. Either students or family of students they have become another part of my family. I know I will miss them all, and it will be bittersweet to go home and see my family back in California!

Cross Sighted!
Cross Sighted
What is this blog and what is with the name?
Well my hope and prayer for this blog, is that my experiences and writings would further encourage you to focus on the CROSS that Jesus died on, and this would lead to your focus on Jesus who died on the Cross. I pray that those who read this would learn to see things with a CrossSighted vision. What Does Cross Sighted vision look like? Well I came up with the Name Cross Sighted because I was thinking of looking at things through the Cross Hairs of A scope on a high powered rifle. When you are hunting or just shooting a rifle, you use a scope to focuse in on your targets. Then I was thinking about my life as one who lives for christ. This gave Cross Sighted new meaning to me. I should focuse on the world through the sight of the Cross. The Cross being the place where Jesus was sacrificied because of Gods love for me. If I am to live a Cross Centered life then the way I act and treat others should be of the same love that Christ has for me. Being Cross Sighted means seeing things through the Cross where you where reedemed. Meaning you are not most important.
