  • Christmas

    I mention that Christmas is just 2 weeks away, to one of my friends today, he replied:  "I hate Christmas, with all the commercialism."  This is true, very true.

      How should we react in a culture of consumer Christmas, when the other 80ish percent of the world cannot par- take in this "holiday"?  I think that awareness is a big part of it, meaning we need to know situation of the other 80ish percent of the world.  I need to take the truth seriously, that my church family extents not just across the wealthy portion of the US but to impoverished of the world.  I must remember that when i entered the Kingdom of God, entered into a Kingdom where Love was the new law.  Oh, I claim to worship Jesus....who was born-in-a-barn and choose to live as a homeless man!  Can i see through this "Christmas makeup", to the pain in Jesus' heart when he sees those suffering because of our socking stuffers.  Just please, react to this.

    reflections of a parable

    "God's kingdom is like a treasure hidden in a field for years and the accidentally found by a trespasser. The finder is ecstatic -what a find!!- and proceeds to sell everything he owns to raise money and buy that field." - matt 13:44

    I don't know sounds like a pretty reckless and brash move for the love of a pearl.

    Just random bits and bites
    • I recently purchased a new laptop (a pc of course) and I love it (except the windows part of it and esp. the stupid vista os). 
    • I finally figured out how to setup our wireless home network (if I hadn't bought my modem/router from yard sale and  discovered it was meant to be used with an verizon isp., things would have been much simpler)
    • I found a freakin cheap laptop bag
    • The website i'm working on is almost ready to go online
    • We found a room for our darkroom.
    •   It's Snowing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We have like 3 inches, if not more!!!
    • I went home on the back roads with my poor little car, from work this evening, and didn't see a one car....all trucks, either i have mad driving skills or i'm just stupid, i'm thinking the latter.
    • Ski round top is opening this friday, so that means SNOWBOARDING hopefully this coming saturday evening
    So yay!!

    p.s. I was got to throw a snowball at someone today.

  • neglect

    Yes, i have sadly neglected writing...i'm sorry.  Anyway. Here are as usual some of my thoughts.  Lately i have been thinking (what a surprise). 

    Maebe the softest, most undistinguished, hardest to hear voices are the ones that I ought to be paying my attention to.

     The mustard seed is more of a weed (that are one of those vines you see as you drive though your local city, clinging to the side of a decrepit building) then i once thought, should i continue building walls around my neat little garden or maebe i should grab the nearest shove and lose my mind. 

    The little ditty, money, money, moneeeeeeeey.........  is more of a unconscious cultish chant, than i once thought.

    Careers or life's work, should have less to do with money, that i'd like.

    The Invisible

    something trite

    I watched this really amazing movie: The invisible.  I loved it. It was British. The soundtrack was mostly British.  And since i have fallen head-over-heals for British bands, i was in impressed.  The plot was wonderful too, if i have the chance i may have to read the book.

    +Of something meaningless+
    -but means everything-

    this pull
    of heart,
    leaves me
    with no place to start
    dreams fade
    as an elder's hair
    these plans
    have left me threadbare
    a boy
    in a man
    this suit is much too large
    for my frame
    things change
    but i remain the same
    _-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-_-
    toss my head
    may i break this last thread
    that holds me together
    see me
    clearly

    The victims of victims.

    Last night our youth group gave a program (the usual "for the love of heaven and the after life, get saved!!", but still God can use anything and He does, and on second thought maybe the i'm being a bit critical of our program.)  at water street.  Anyway afterwards me and my friend were approached by an older man (i'm assuming he was probably homeless or lived in poverty), he asked for prayer and we prayed with him.  Through that he explained to us that he had fought in Vietnam,  then he went on to say how he suffered from horrible images, nightmares, and depression, from his time service.  He also said how he was a Christian and was searching for peace and tranquility.  I really wish i knew how to pray for those people.  I have no idea of the pain, guilt, and anger they must be experiencing within themselves, some are "strong" enough to hold it in and grow hardened to the memories but, some seemly the more "human" break down and are not able to live with themselves.
    Note: Once these people are deemed mentally ill, that is when we are safe from their pain of their experiences. 

    This experience just reminded me of the hell war brings into real peoples lives.  Yes, we do need to support our troops......our Veterans....in fact we need to support troops and Veterans from all over the planet, from every county of the world, these people are all victims and have been deceived for the most part, you and i must remember that.  They are human (they are more than "war machines") and deserve the love Christ and love and prayers of us. 

    Lift these people in prayer, from the hate, deceit, and lies they are feed.  Also we must not forget those that are victimized by these "victims"; these are the widows, the widowers, the orphanages, the homeless, the starving, the injuried, ect...  Pray for these "victims", pray for peace.  Pray for Bill.

    Oh my typical sad little life, i'm bored. Something needs to change

    Lately I'm been listening to relient k primarly "Two rights don't make a left, but three do."  I'm really not sure why i was compelled to listen to them, but they proved themselves amazing.  As you can read and will read relient k puts me in a odd frame of mind.  You're welcome to take this as a disclaimer for what i'm about to write.

    My little small, hickish, "otherside of the world" sort of town is having their fair this week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  Can't really think of a good reason why, but i'm actually excited <i think need to get out more>.  It has all kinds of exited events like Pygmy Goat Shows, Swine Judging, Tractor Pulls, Tug of Wars, Tractor Driving Contests, Pedal Tractor Pull Competitions, (sorry it's only for ages 3-14), and last but not least- Celebrity Invitational Milking Contests (i think this is a new event for this year!).  Our fair will be hosting all kinds of neat businesses like Resource Rental and Sales.................oooook i can't think of any more. We even have new pens to give out this year and maybe even rental catalogs (if the printer gets them to us in time)!!! O this is all soooo exciting!!!
    **Note-  the "fair" is a silly illustration for anything superficial that we blow up too large, it could be a job position, ect.


    Ok the last paragraph is sometimes how i feel, i'm keep so busy....maybe i need to step back and reevaluate.  reevaluate what i'm doing, where i'm going, why i get so caught up in producing wealth, and my other little project and let my life go on "autopilot".....i feel like i have very short term/range vision. A vision this just might get me through to the next weekend. This doesn't change the fact that i'm excited about the fair.

    I think i need to pause, brainstorming session with the father of brains and of storms.

    Along with my relient k craze, i'm on a CCM and P&W faze too.

  • Sorry i really haven't updated in awhile.  Here a little snapshot into "my" life:  I had an awesome time with some Cambridge people at camp andrews. It was great even though we did relatively  nothing... we are incredible lazy.
    Oh, heres a "note worthy" piece of news:  I decided to wisely invest 43 dollars into 9.5 hours of THE OFFICE SESSION 3.  Dwight is my hero. Join the Dwight Army of Champions.
    Heres another life high light:  I bought a new cell, Samsung Sync. The phone is amazing. I went from an old nokia ( it didn't even have a color screen) with Sprint service to a the Sync with at&t service.  I was in shock for a bit.

    Anyway that is what has been happening in my "lack life."
