hmm

So I applied for a job at a church the other day. I am really hoping that it is going to work out because I keep feeling this huge desire to work with people in ministry again. I think this year off from the church has been really important for me though. God definitely had his hand in it and I think he is ready to move me again. This past year has helped me in many things such as:

1. Marraige- It has allowed us a lot of time to spend with each other instead of being caught up in many other things. I think the extra time has gotten us started off on the right foot.

2. Seeing others- It has helped me to see others needs and how much I really have as well as how people really do treat others.

3. My Relationship with God- It has helped me to realize that this is what I really need to make it through each day no matter what job.

Birthday

Yeah so today is my birthday, but more importantly and cooler it is my wifes birthday. That's right we have the same birthday and were born the same day about 5 hours apart. It's like were twins, but not because then we definitely wouldn't be married. I wonder how many other couples have the same birthday. Maybe we should be in the guiness book of world records or something. By the way that's a really long book title and what record did guiness set anyway.

Google Analytics

So I looked at my google analytics today and saw all the different countries where people were coming from and below it said Visits from other territories and there where 11. This freaked me out for a second. You may think why do I care if peole from other countries visit my site, well I don't I welcome them. It's just that I misread territories and thought it said terrorists.

Reason for Christianity

People always want reasons for God's existence and although this has not been well thought out my be yet, I was thinking that the fact there is not as much chaos in the world as there could be is good evidence. For instance think if all were to just live for themeselves with no concept of a higher being or a right and a wrong we would have a mass world of rampant thieves and terrorists. No one would give to others. So maybe this only proves the point that there are some rights and wrongs, but I think if you kept going deeper with that thought it would lead you to the need for some higher being.

Worship

I know that God enjoys the praise of his people so don't get me wrong, but I wonder if part of the reason we praise God is to put ourselves in our place. I think sometimes praising God helps us to realize how insignificant we can be sometimes (in a good way). I'm not saying this is the main purpose of praise but just a side thought.

Nothing

I can always think of things to post while I'm driving for work and then when I get home nothing. I think it's cause I somewhat view home as a place to shut my brain off. Anywho I heard a funny joke on tv that won't be funny because I'm typing it, but oh well. A comedian got up and they applauded and he said "thank you or as my dislexic friends say thank you" They looked at him stunned not sure what he meant and he said. "It doesn't affect speach."

Gift Cards

So we just got a gift card to send to a couple who just got married. Unfortunately, we couldn't make it to the wedding. At the bottom of the card it has a little message index and I never know what to write there. Today I finally came up with something. I wrote, "Don't spend it all in one place." Is that funny or just dumb. I'm thinking as I'm writing this that its sounding dumber and dumber but I can't really change it now. Oh well.

New Video

Hey I made a background video for churches a couple years ago and just posted it on youtube here. It starts of a little slow but gets better. This was probably my first real experience with video editing. You can see at the end I finally learned how to overlap video.

Ode to Mt. Dew

When you're feeling kind of blue
and you don't know what to do
You can drink a Mt. Dew
and you'll feel better too

The stuff that comes from heaven
In a day I will drink seven
Although the clocks still at eleven
It keeps your engine revin

It is good to feel green
when it's Mt. Dew you've seen
It will keep you cut and lean
Cause you'll jump up like a bean

Evan Almighty

I saw this movie last night and it wasn't half bad. Quite cheesy. Don't go if you're looking for laughs there aren't a ton, but there are some good themes in the movie. The one is his idea of wanting to change the world but he has no clue where to start. That's kind of where I am at currently. I would love to change the world, but how. They say one Act of Random Kindness at a time. How would you start to change the world?

Unity

Have you ever been in the midst of a crowd maybe at a concert or a rally. You can feel the energy and power of the group. Gen 11:6 talks about this how if we come together as a group we can do pretty much anything. There is strength and power in numbers, even if it not for the most righteous of causes. Think of the various churches around the earth and if they were united to stand for God what we could really do.
