Name: Spencer
Location: Cincinnati, Ohio, United States
Birthday: 10/11/1990
Gender: Male

Expertise: I do not understnad my own actions. For I do not do what I want, but I do the very thing I hate. Now if I do what I do not want, I agree with the law, that it is good. So now it is no longer I who do it, but sin that dwells within me. For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh. For I have the desire to do what is right, but not the ability to carry it out. For I do not do the good I want, but the evil I do not want is what I keep on doing. Now if I do what I do not want, it is no longer I who do it but sin that dwells within me. So I find it to be a law that when I want to do right, evil lies close at hand. For I delight in the law of God, in my inner being, but I see in my members. Wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? Thanks be to God Through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, I myself serve the law of God with my mind, but with my flesh I serve the law of sin.

| It has been quite awhile since I have updated any sort of online blog. I have found the opportunity to do so, and so I am.
Here I sit in Tennessee, going off two hours of sleep after staying up for twenty-four. Todd and I drove down here to record an old friend of Todd's (and now a new friend of mine) J.B. I am sitting in his living room right now and it is just about dusk. I can hear the deep mumblings whispher through the walls bring to my ears the sounds of the vocals being laid on a track. Todd will be sitting at a computer desk, while J.B. faces a corner like a child in timeout and begins to express to the padded microphone his emotions and words that have been written over the past year. The recording precess is one to be admired. It has been the first time that I have been in a session for more than two hours, and I must say that I do enjoy sitting back and observing and also listening. One learns more about one's art when one can quiet down and just appreciate without participating. Thus is the beauty of this Art.
And now onto the spiritual life. In my mind there is this lingering-something that I know is not exclusive to me alone-it is a lingering for ruthlessness. Lately I have been trying to find scriptures in the Bible that Jesus made about following Him. And if one examines them, one finds complete abandonment. Jesus says things in His teachings that I do not reflect in my life. Can I truly say that I hate everything else compared to Christ? Can I truly say that He is my treasure above anything else in this world? Can my friends say that we reflect the teachings of our Master and Lord? Can I, through feeble attempts that are only powered by His Grace, overcome my daily battles with my worst enemy? And who is my worst enemy? Is it satan? I really think that that would be giving him too much credit. I believe that my biggest enemy is Spencer Harmon. The Spirit and the flesh continue to battle within me. But yet I must ask this question: If actions would reflect who I want to win this battle, whose team would I be on? For certainly my time could be better spent, and yours could also. I am not suggesting the life of an elitist, hermit who is snobbish toward all. But rather, that simple things in life that simply waste time. Now, I am all for shooting the breeze, but when the spiritual life is carried away in that very same breeze one must question it's foundation. Thus are my current thoughts on this Battle that I continue to fight.
Grace to You,
Spencer
