"Hey Caleb, you got a sec'?"

Caleb, i don't know what to say as fer as this feeling goes, but, i love you Caleb. you've more to me than most have and i'm stirred by that story, and yes, i'm reminded of some people who have met my "just another punk" side. it makes me want to do good and make the world right, a place where so-called "losers" are recognized as the diamonds in the rough that they are. i was also once a loser who everyone called wierd or grose or my favorite, "hey trailer trash". when i look at people now i see myself in both, and all i want to do is tell them about the One who wants to show them His love, i believe that's why i've telling everyone at school about Jesus, and hey guess what! i'm a loser again, but this time it just makes me want to love them more when they show their "just another punk" side. -scott

great words, my friend. hey, but this time around, its cool being a loser!! check this out:

Only the losers win
They've got nothing to prove
They'll leave the world with nothing to lose
You can laugh at the weirdos now
Wait till wrongs are right
They'll be the ones with nothing to hide
