Its official, they're dead. Stick a fork in them. No more baseball for over six months. But with this elimination things seemed a bit different. That's true for a few reasons. the first is that there's no more sense of desperation. There's no more thinking, this has to be the year. They've won and we know they could do it again. But I think there are two other reasons why this seems

So I thought it might be cool to have a 'Lost' discussion thing every thursday. Its on on Wednesday nights at 9 so we'll talk about episodes here and talk about what we think is going on. Episode 3-So is the counter thing just a test on human behavior? I think Jack was right that its a bit foolish to think that a small old computer like that could be significant, and why would they have test

John Roberts was approved today as the next chief justice of the supreme court. I never really doubted whether he would be confirmed, unless some horrible piece of dirt was exposed from his past. but the whole process reminded me of how corrupt our political system is getting. Somewhere along the way, the senators and reps have gotten the idea that they have all power and the government exists

So earlier today i heard about the closing of Good News Bookstore. i was sad when i heard about it because i remember going there as a toddler and youngster and going to the little knick knack section and looking at erasers and bookmarks and other little toys they had. Then as I got older, I would go there to buy cds. I kept stickers on the outside of them so i could get one free after buying

Athanasius came on the scene fighting Arius over the deity of Christ. Arius had gotten a hold in the Christian scene by saying that Jesus wasn’t completely God. Arius, at the time a secretary to the Bishop of Alexandria, became the chief spokesman against Arius at the Council of Nicea in 325. This is where the term homo-ouisis comes from, that Christ was of the same nature of God. A few

This is part of an interview that i found with Goldie Hawn. She is apparently a Buddhist Christian. I ran into a lady who was the same thing a few weeks ago and i asked her how she came to that conclusion and she said that she was raised catholic and her boyfriend was Buddhist and he helped her know Jesus better. i was just really confused. well, here's goldie!So you had a multifaith

This is a post from Al Mohler's blog. Thought it was good and something that needs to be heard.

These are not easy questions, and not just any answer will suffice. If we are to understand how to think rightly about God and the storm, we must look to the

I finished this book awhile ago, but haven't said anything on it, so here are my thoughts. First of all, this book is one of the most amazing books when it comes to amazing story after amazing story. All the way through the book, i found myself stopping and telling Leah what I had just read simply because it was so unbelievable. The book is about American and Canadian involvement with Israel

i know its not Christmas time, but i read this little cool fact in a book for my New Testament History class. When Julius Ceasar died, there was a comet in the sky and people saw it as a sign of his spirit leaving. Then when Augustus Ceasar was living, there was another comet that people said was a good omen for him. And on the Roman coins, a star appears above the heads of both Julius Caesar

Matthew 17:14 14 When they came to the crowd, a man came to him, knelt before him, 15 and said, “Lord, have mercy on my son, because he is epileptic and suffers terribly, for he often falls into the fire and into the water. 16 I brought him to your disciples, but they were not able to heal him.” 17 Jesus answered, “You unbelieving and perverse generation!

so i just found out last night that i have to preach in two sundays. i'm not quite sure as to what i'm going to preach on yet, though. i'm kind of leaning towards what it means to glorify God with all of your mind. That we must not just guard our mind, but committ it to the glory of God. my friends and i talked quite a bit about this last night over dinner last night and it was a very

Recently i've been hearing this and seeing this problem from a few sources. I believe i first read about it in something Piper wrote, although i can't remember what it was. i'm not even sure that it was Piper, but I digress.

Yesterday afternoon we returned from our camp and we just had a blast up there. The teaching times were great and impactful and we're praying that the decisions that were made stick. We had a blast speeding down the Alpine Slide and Water Slide and we got to go on the go-carts and mini golf. For the record, I beat Leah by 13 strokes and that was with stopping at 5 strokes on all the holes.

As I was eating lunch i was checking out some links and such online and ran across this story about the lady who wrote 'How Stella Got Her Groove Back'. Well, she wrote the hit book that got made into a movie after her own life and her romance with this man. After 6 1/2 years of marriage, they are now divorced. That's the first level of irony. Second level: She got divorced because she

While we were on our honeymoon i came up with the idea that I should form a posse. Now the purpose of this posse would just to hang out and have each other's backs. it wouldn't to be real intimidating, just relaxing and having a good time. I was very careful in who i let into the posse. each person serve's their own purpose and no one else brings what they do. But i also had to careful who i

Leah and I made it safely back to SoCal after our honeymoon in Williamsburg, VA. We had a great time, did a lot but never felt like we were rushing ourselves. Thanks to everyone who had something to do with the wedding! We really appreciated your involvement! Now its back to work. i'm hitting the ground running, as we have jr high summer camp in two weeks and then CORE Week after that. i'll

i should start this off by saying that i'm probably not the most patriotic of americans, but that i do appreciate my country. while i do appreciate it, it sure does bug the heck out of me sometimes. the title for this post comes from a radio host in LA, so i can't take credit for the term. it doesn't take one long to realize that our country is not the same bold nation it was just fifty years

There have been a few of us talking about infant baptism, more specifically the reformed view than the catholic view. So i figured i'd put down my views on it and try to offer another view. here's the pro-paedobaptism site that has most been referenced: click hereto start, i figured i'd address some issues i had with that website. first of all, i'd like to start with the premis that this

i just read MacArthur's little book 'Follow Me'. I got it for free, so i gave it a quick read and he did a good job with mini biogrophies about each disciple and how they weren't the popular pick to follow Jesus and what was their hang up. He also mixed in a few cool quotes that we shouldn't forget about:"Unless I am convicted by Scripture and plain reason- I do not accept the authority of

This song has become one of my favorites and i can often seen cruising around belting this out at the top of my lungs. here's the lyrics and at the end i'll put something from a Caedmon's site about the song.Left his seamless robe behind Woke up in a stable crying Lived and died and rose again Savior for a guilty landIt's a story like a children's tune And it's grown familiar as the moon So now

so a lady at my church is moving and said she might be able to give me a book case and file cabinet. this is good, because i had run out of room and had been wedging books in every which way and had had to bring books into work to store in my office. so we just bought another bookcase, but i have a feeling that room will go quickly. that brought to my mind the evil cycle that books cause.

at my church we do a thing every summer called CORE Week, which is like VBS on steroids for the youth. We totally decorate the youth center into whatever the theme is and put a whole program together. in the past we've done a Noah theme, which was a beach/surfer theme. then we did a PETRA theme which was like Indiana Jones. This year the theme is OUTLAW, and the youth center will be turned

another lock-in has come and gone, and we can proudly say that there were no hospital visits or rushes for towels and ice to stop bleeding jr highers. while some may say that this would qualify as a failure, i'd accept it as a subtle victory. there's nothing like getting a phone call about a girl going to the doctors and maybe having a detatched retna from being hit in the head in

i have officially ended my classroom portion of the year! I only have one final next week and then i'm DONE!!! this morning, my greek prof decided to throw out our last test, which is a very good thing since i was distracted this past weekend and didn't study as i normally would. ;) on the weather front, it has been absolutely gorgeous out here, but now its overcast and its raining on and off

i'm driving to school this morning and it was a cloudy morning with a steady drizzle. Definately not what you want for an April morning in Southern California. Well, i'm driving through Pasadena and this homeless guy is standing at the light, trying to was windshields.... IN THE RAIN! simply amazing.

So i'm going to be entering my last week of school for the year, and i'm more than ready to get to summer break. i've been going straight for almost two years since i took a huge class last summer. now i'm wrapping up a semester with projects up the wahoo. i just want to go to sleep and wake up two weeks from today. last night i went to a 'cultish' meeting for a class. i have a cults class

So every friday night we have our youth program and i've been somewhat frustrated with the teaching times. i'm not saying that i'm upset with how things are being done by everyone else, because i'm the only one who's been teaching the jr highers. we've sort of been bouncing around and the kids hear me teach in chapels on fridays and some times on sundays, so you can only hop around and teach

So today i had to go into the bank that i used to have an account with and pay this mysterious $1 debt that they were pestering me about. i'm not sure how i got a $1 debt in the first place since i completely closed the account and then apparently i spent the one dollar. anyhoo, i go in to pay this one dollar and i get bounced around to three different people because no one could take the one
