my story

Hi my name is Travis Whitcher. I was born and raised right here in Springfield, Missouri. Even though I have been a Christian most of my life, I’m not from a Christian home. My neighborhood was known by a lot of people even the cops, it was known as one of the worst in the city of Springfield. They came to call it “The Haller.” My family is not saved and even in my own home I see Drugs, fights and other things. My mom and dad have done drugs and because of that I know two of my brothers have done drugs at one point. I still live at home and my brothers just the other day looked at me and told me if he wanted to throw away his life he could do it and I need to leave him alone. My brother is now 20 years old and since he was he was 17 he had spend about a week in jail and he has a GPS on him and he will have to wear that for the rest of his life. Almost everyone in my family does some type of drug from beer of even pot. Don’t get me wrong I love my family very much I’m just showing you where God bought me out of But, even through all the sin I was still asked to come to Hillside Baptist Church.
I continued to go to church for about a year. Then I had heard about VBS and they asked me if I wanted to go, and I said yeah. So I went to VBS for four days and they kept telling me about Jesus Christ and how he died on the cross for my sins and how we should come to know him as our Saviour. But I still didn’t do anything about it.
On Thursday the speaker was talking about Jesus and what he did for me. It was then when I realize that I was a sinner, and I needed Christ but I still did nothing. When I got home that night I went to the park that was next to my house, and I started thinking about everything that the speaker had said at VBS that night. With tears in my eyes I got down on my knees and I asked Christ to forgive me of my sins and to come into my heart.
I did not have a sudden change in my life, but there was a change. When I became a sophomore in high school that’s when God began to really work in my life. He called me to be a missionary. I wanted to do what he wanted me to do.
Now that I’m here at BBC I still live at and I hear what my family talk about how they don’t think I should be here and they say things like why would he spend his life doing something for God. It’s so hard to see them in their sin everyday and not say something but I know I can’t just tell them what they’re doing is wrong because they see me every day and they know the things I do wrong so it’s hard but I know God will be with me and I trust through my prayers and my testimony they will come to know Christ.
It doesn’t matter what background your from you can always come to Christ and get through the hard times God is bigger than all my problems and bigger than yours. just let God work in your life.

Time changes things

wow about two years ago I sat this blog up and I havnt been on here in about a year and a half and man have a changed I am a 2nd year student at a Bible Collage and I'm my way to do the work of God and my lord Jesus Christ. I'm sure now that I found the girl of my deams and the one that God would have me to spend my life with. I sat this blog up beacause my high school teacher wanted us to use this for the class and to write about things we do in class but now I want to do this then I just did it because I had to. Then all I talked about was sports now I really never talk about sports. man how time really changes!

its been along time

Its been along time.....
now that I have read the book Beowulf and dont think beowulf is in anyway like T.O
he is more like rice he is just has alittle more pride so thats why I thought he was like T.O but now I see he is not... I dont think even being a litte pround is a good thing bc my Bible says that there are 7 things that God hates and the 1st one is pride

Beowulf Vs. TO

My Teacher asked us to write a comparison using Someone in Beowulf and someone today. The 1st person that I thought of was T.O he plays for the Cowboys.
First I would like to write about how Beowulf acts and then I will write about T.O.
Beowulf acts like hes all that, he his a great warrior but does he have to let everyone know it.
He needs to be more humble. It seems to me that hes all about himself. Ya he helps other but he doesn't do it to help them he does it to let everyone know that he can and that he is the best.
Now T.O as a player in the NFL who makes allot of money as it is he seems to say he doesn't get enough money to feed his family. On top of saying that to me he thinks that hes the best football player there is and if he can make more money killing people he would do it.. Yes Beowulf doesn't say he wants money but I'm not done yet... T.O gets into it with allot of QB and coaches because he tells them that hes the best and he needs to get the ball more.
As you can see Beowulf has somethings alike with T.O. what do you thing? Is there someone you thing has more things alike to Beowulf? This Travis in Whitcher's word says I'm out!!!!

Beowulf

In my tech writting 4 class we are going to read the book "Beowulf." My teacher told us to write what we think the book is about just by looking at a photo.

I think the book is going to be about someone trying to kill a dragon or someone with a dragon problem. if Im wrong I think I will find out when we read the book I think this will be a good book from what I hear about the movie even though they say the movies of books are not the same but I think I will like it anyway.

So thats what I think the book will about I know I might be wrong but thats what I think the book will be about based on this photo... I sure he will have us write about Beowulf again so this isn't the last you will will hear about Beowulf from me I hope you have a great day.

A Change

I know my blog has been about sports but I think I am going to change that now. In this post I am going to talk about how most people thing man is generally good and that bugs me because I dont think that is ture. My bible tells that man is not "generally good" beacause of sin. I know I dont need the bible to tell you that.
You hear of killings and gangs every day. A personial ex of that is one time I was walking in the dark down a busy street and it was along walk and not one person even stoped and asked if I was alright or if I needed a ride.
So you cant tell me that man generally good. You hear of moms killing there kids for no real reason and lots of other things that dont make man generally good. People starting wars for no reason or just to say were better than you.

I dont even need to tell you about fightin to say that man is not generally good. I can say In the USA eveyone is doing what ever to make themselfs look good or get themselfs more money its like all we are doing is raceing to get the most power or money and for the most part if anyone gets in your way we just run them over.

so if you are one of the people that think man is generally good really think about us, war, power, and money and how people act when they get those things than tell me that man is generally good.
