Blogs to come

I've gotten away from my routine of daily scripture devotionals. It's because the verses I'm reading lately are keying in with my Spirit.

I haven't grown lazy, just I've been told to be quiet for a little while.
Will update soon hopefully.
Not that anyone actually reads these.

Scripture: "Hang my locket around your neck, wear my ring on your finger. Love is invincible facing danger and death. Passion laughs at the terrors of hell. The fire of love stops at nothing— it sweeps everything before it. Flood waters can’t drown love,
torrents of rain can’t put it out. Love can’t be bought, love can’t be sold— it’s not to be found in the marketplace..."
-Song of Songs 8:6-8

Observation: In Old Testament times a seal was used to indicate ownership of a person’s valued possessions. So the beloved asked to be her lover’s most valued possession, a possession that would influence his thoughts (over your heart) and his actions (over your arm). Such a demanding request required the explanation which she gave in verses 6b-7a. These verses sum up the nature and power of the love depicted in the Song. It is as universal and irresistible as death, exclusive and possessive (in the sense of being genuinely concerned for the one loved) as the grave, passionate (as blazing fire) and as invincible and persevering as many waters and rivers. And all this is true because love is supported by the Creator who possesses all power. The words like a mighty flame are, literally, “like the very flame of the Lord” . Thus the Lord is portrayed as the Source of this powerful loveThe final statement about the love depicted in the Song is that it is priceless. All one’s wealth would be totally inadequate to purchase such love. In fact such money would be . . . scorned, because love cannot be bought. Any attempt to “buy” love depersonalizes it. If love is priceless, how then can it be obtained? The answer is that it must be given. And ultimately love is a gift from God. The epilogue explains how the beloved received this priceless gift of love.

Application: What a beautiful description of God's love for us. I really chose this verse to uplift someone; and all you women out-there who never read my blogs should definitely favorite this one. But God's love really is like a love-affair. He really does place a locket around his beloved's neck, and proposes to ask us to be his husband. For guys this can be quite odd... but hang in there. He died just so we could be his friends. He knew what was right for us; and we all know how long it takes for us to admit defeat, but he paid that price in full, just so we wouldn't have to. Pretty swell guy if you ask me. Definitely worth keeping in your "My five."
Nothing can separate us from God's love; this theme has been surfacing alot on my blog, but it's even clear with the Old Testament. God's love hasn't changed. He's always there with open arms waiting to take us in.

For the ladies, will you accept the proposal?
For the guys, will you suck it up and admit your wrong so you can go back to making up some lost time?

Everything I say and do

Scripture: "If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen."
- 1 Peter 4:11

Observation: Context of preparation of end times, and being ready for Christ return. Peter distinguishes the a separation in ministry roles according to some scholars but I argue it leaves the context of the verse.

Application: Every thing we say and do should be in an attitude of worship to God. That's the point. If you can get that; you've succeeded at being a Christian. I'm not talking salvation, nor works show true faith. But I'm talking about that if we really intend to do or say anything we need to be sure that it uplifts God in the process.

We can also be assured that God will provide the strength and the words to say; so we should just rely on him to guide us along the path of righteousness.

It's simple, straight-forward, and easy to do. We are the ones who complicate it.
Let's re-fix our eyes on Jesus the author and perfector of our faith so we can continue down this path of righteous living.

Unequaled Love

Scripture: "Do you think anyone is going to be able to drive a wedge between us and Christ’s love for us? There is no way! Not trouble, not hard times, not hatred, not hunger, not homelessness, not bullying threats, not backstabbing, not even the worst sins listed in Scripture: 'They kill us in cold blood because they hate you. We’re sitting ducks; they pick us off one by one. None of this fazes us because Jesus loves us.' I’m absolutely convinced that nothing—nothing living or dead, angelic or demonic, today or tomorrow, high or low, thinkable or unthinkable—absolutely nothing can get between us and God’s love because of the way that Jesus our Master has embraced us."
-Romans 8:35-38

Observation: Context of God's love for us, not our love for him...
"These things—stated in increasing intensity—do not separate Christians from Christ; instead they are part of the 'all things' (Rom. 8:28) God uses to bring them to conformity to His Son. Then Paul quoted Psalm 44:22 to remind his readers that in this life the people of God must face much affliction, including even martyrdom for some. In the early days of the church one or more Christians were martyred every day, or faced the possibility of it. Their persecutors valued Christians’ lives as nothing more than animals to be butchered (The Bible Knowledge Commentary 2:475).

Application:
God's love is permanent. Once we belong to him, you think our silly trials, our silly stumbles allow him to regret accepting us in? Absolutely not! We can persevere in Christ love and ask him for more of his to make up for ours lacking in times when we desperately need it. Even though we may stumble and fall, God always meets us at 100% love to help pick us back up.

Practice makes perfect

Scripture: "Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me -- put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you."
Philippians 4:9/NIV

Observation: Context- Paul Spurring Phillipi to do what he's instructed and what he left them with when he began that church.

Application: Even though Paul is saying this to the church of Phillipi; imagine the context towards us from Christ. Whatever we learn about him, teach it; whatever we receive, use it; what ever we hear, testify to it; whatever we see in him, strive for that ourselves.

Imagine if we put that mentality in our minds. Spiritual leaders are essential to our Christian life-style. Look for Christ like attitudes in people, and mimic that. Read the scriptures concerning Jesus and his ministry, and apply that to your own life. Imagine yourself sent out personally as a disciple of Christ to do his work.

Well the truth of the matter is, we are called to as Christians, to be imitators of Christ.

But if we do what God has shown us, what we learn, and apply it, we are promised peace.

That's worth the effort? (Plus, you know, eternal glory... that's cool too)

What are you "attracted" to?

Scripture:
"Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded."
-James 4:7-8/NIV

Observation: from "The Bible Knowledge Commentary"-
"Like a magnet, the call for commitment has both positive and negative poles:
submit . . . to God and resist the devil. “Submit” is a military term “to be subordinated” or “to render obedience.” “Resist” (antistÄ“te) means “take a stand against.” Take a stand against the devil, and he will flee. On the other hand draw near to God and He will come near in response. To draw near to God, however, demands His cleansing. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. Both “wash” and “purify” are verbs that refer to ceremonial cleansing, a figure that spoke eloquently to Jewish converts. The need for cleansing is clear from the way James addressed his readers, “you sinners” and “you double-minded.”

Application:
In the context of true humility we see that knowing who you are is essential. Are you allowing the world and the voice of Satan be your influence? Or are you, as a result of salvation, allowing Christ to lead you in the way you should go? We need to take a stand against the forces of evil, the sin that easily corrupts us. Let us not be double-minded, but instead let us wash our hands of anything sinful, and anything that will cause us to stumble. It's better to live an uncomfortable life of self-sacrifice than it is to allow the sinful life to influence us any longer. As it says in Thessalonians, "throw out anything tainted with evil." So what holds us back? Why do we allow there to even be a division between spirit and flesh? Are we no longer slaves to the world or to our flesh? So how is it that we compromise so easily as Christians due to laziness, or personally bias. We're to be in the world and not of it correct? So why do we download music illegally, let apathy to crisis and need grow, and choose to ignore what happens in the field of abortion and homosexuality. What do we let into our lives that we shouldn't? So let us submit ourselves to God, and turn away from the old and begin living anew in the grace and atonement of Christ.

We're dead

Scripture: “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”
- Galatians 2:20

Observation: Context of salvation through grace alone, the law does not save us; Christ does.

Application: All that agony, that pain, that sorrow was for was for us. But we we're put to death that day as well, did we go through a literal crucification? Gosh no! He bore that for us, it was the punishment (and beyond) that we deserved. But we we're put to death that day. Our sin, our old lives, and the bonds of the enemy were crushed that day. Our old lives we're nailed to that Cross. We are dead, but made alive through Christ who rose again and now lives in us! Our old lives lead to death, but now that we have Christ we have Eternal life! How does this not excite you?

Ignorance is SIN

Scripture: “This is how we know what love is: Jesus Christ laid down his life for us. And we ought to lay down our lives for our brothers.”- 1 John 3:16

Observation: A great contrast between sin and love; and an even better analysis of what it looks like to be apart of the kingdom. Conviction and assurance are the context of the verses surrounding, and Christ's love was exemplified in this action.

Application: This is a true model of love, and the context surrounding this verse is clear that if we do not show love, are we any better than those who live in sin? In our culture where ignorance is bliss, should we as Christians remain apathetic to the problems our culture faces? Certainly not, and certainly we should strive to lay down our own "lives" for our brothers and sisters.

Perfecting One's Public Life

Scripture: "Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
-Colossians 4:5-6/NIV


Observation: Context: Paul before this gives reference to the importance of personal prayer life, than discusses instructions for our actions towards "outsiders." Outsiders here in the King James is phrased as "those that are without," the original Greek meaning away or strayed.
Wisdom is reference to spiritual wisdom or maturity; while we see that "making the most" is actually phrased as "redeeming the time"- time implying infinite or "at all times". Conversation is bigger in the sense that it means "your manner of speech."

Application: We are to not to just know how to act around others, but we are to act in a manner of wisdom; weigh the outcome of our actions at all time. Using all opportunities in our daily regiment to the furthering of the kingdom. Yes, we are suppose to evangelize to others, and love our neighbor, but Paul strains that this should be our priority every time we open our mouths or act around anyone, especially those who are without Christ. The Gospel of Christ through our lives is the first people will ever see before they read anything ever written in the Bible. Remaining graceful and seasoned with salt is essential, but that requires personal and individual desire to grow, and acting out in that mannerism. As Paul mentioned earlier, we should be praying continuously, wanting the church to understand, prayer is not a luxury but is essential for growth. How can we expect to be seasoned with salt if we jump out of the salt shaker? Our personal growth will flow over into our public life, but we need to still strive and follow the instructions Paul gives us while acting around others. Are we as Christians making the use of every situation to further the kingdom?

Revelation 4:11

He stands on the mountains
and rides on the clouds
he is all the water there is to be found
he's mighty and gentle
without any seem
all creation points to his glorious theme

He's love is boundless
his rule is supreme
bore our transgressions to makes us redeemed
And through redemption
we can stand face and face
to shout of his mercy, his magnificent grace

All Glory
Honor
Power
and Praise
Belong to the Lamb who was slain

Why is it that I care so much about my physical appearence?
Not so much I worry that I don't look good enough, but more so, I always want to change it.
Why do I feel the need to be constantly changing?

Devotion II: Are you a shrewd manager of what God has given you?

Scripture: Jn 16:1-16
“Streetwise people are smarter in this regard than law-abiding citizens. They are on constant alert, looking for angles, surviving by their wits. I want you to be smart in the same way—but for what is right—using every adversity to stimulate you to creative survival, to concentrate your attention on the bare essentials, so you’ll live, really live, and not complacently just get by on good behavior.”

Observation: “Jesus told this Parable of the Unjust Manager to teach that His disciples must use their wealth for kingdom purposes. ”

Application: If our goal is to win the world with Jesus, we should be on the look out for creative ways to do so. Not malicious ways such as the shrewd manager, but ways that will grab people’s attention. Putting to use your talents, your interest, you material possessions, in order to get people onto the right path. God didn’t give us these things for us to sqander but for us to use to serve others and to point them to God.

Prayer: God let my hearts cry be that I could use my talents and abilities always for your kingdom. Also lead me in a path not of manipulation but love unlike the manager you told. Thank you YHWH for your gifts, let me use them well.

Devotion I: I do not get prophecy in the OT

Scripture:
Matthew 1-2
Observation:
I love the Geneology now that it makes more sense of the importance of it. I never knew without going to bible college the significance of the women, the names of Jesus' decendants, nor that each of the 14 lists represented the story of the bible from the covenant to the fall of israel to the salvation of God's people.

But that is not what I'm writing about. No; in fact, I'm more concerned verses 14-15 in the second chapter. (The reason I'm specifically writing about it is b/c I stopped on it during my read through of the gospels and acts for NTS survey)

'So he got up, took the child and his mother during the night and left for Egypt, 15where he stayed until the death of Herod. And so was fulfilled what the Lord had said through the prophet: "Out of Egypt I called my son."'

The real question I'm dealing with here is the verse in quote from Hosea 11:1. Looking at that verse
"When Israel was a child, I loved him,
and out of Egypt I called my son."

you can see the context for this verse is not directed at Jesus but at Israel (and directly looking back into the past when God delivered them)

Now I get that Jesus is the true salvation of God's people, a final solution to the deliverance of his people from oppression (of sin). I can see how one can interpret that Egypt was God delivering Israel from oppression (of the egyptians) and how Jesus could be applied to this verse. But I don't get how Matthew would interpret this verse in Hosea to a messianic one. Is it really prophecy of the messiah, or just a history recap from the Lord's prophet.

I don't know. That is my conclusion. I'm not a devout Jew. I don't know how they would interpret scripture. All I know is Matthew wrote the correlation between the "prophecy" in Hosea in connection with the life of Jesus.

Application: Don't take the face value of scripture. I heard this alot while pondering this text over in my mind. Don't be afraid to question the scriptures declared Holy, for in question often times God will reveal more of his amazing complexity, a complexity that we cannot put into a box nor describe at times.

Prayer: Lord please shead some enlightenment on the prophets words so I can have a better understanding of your word.

Break V.S. Break up.

For all of you who read Brent's last post he was wrong.

I told him that I needed to re-connect with God, just me and God.
I happened to use the term "Break" to describe our relationship, even though I have every intention of still having one, not ending one.
I just need to figure out this God thing on my own.
So, my definition of break, is to spend time with God, instead of with Brent.
Not to break up with him.

So this one year, two month, eight day relationship has not come to an end.
Atleast not by my doing.
I'm sure that Brent will have the patience to let me get close to Jesus, and that we will both trust in the Lord to take care of us. Whether that be us seperatly while I figure things out, or seperatly forever (which I doubt..) or together once I'm in a position to love Brent, but to love Jesus more.

Two Conversation; one conflict, one celebration

The highlight of my previous day (Wednesday) is that of such a 10 hour sleep gave birth to this one making my morning good. Even though I needed not be at school till 9:10am I left my house in the comfort of 6:47am's rain and skipped towards the circus that is Surrey's transit system.

I arrived early like stated, realizing that my life of lying tries to surface in a place I've chosen to retain of purity. I love my school. I love my holy spirit classes. And my omen of Serena asking me the question "girl issues?" when commenting on the expression I gave her would spell out the worst part of my day.

Holy spirit was awesome until I learnt I had successfully failed my attempt to record the first half of class; and in hindsight, I am now left with half a class of audio and the other half without.

Like I stated, I was unaware of my love's plight of confession and admittance of guilt she had been holding onto, and how yesterday might have spelt out the end of relationship. No, such an occurance was saved for today, of all days, the day where nothing was going to bring me down. Not even a one year, two month and five day relationship coming to an end was going to dampen my spirits because God was on my side.

With that said. This calamity to most, actually was prophsized early by allusions and the sermon preached in chapel. With sad times comes God time, and indeed my sorrow left me in a moment to spend in recommitance to my Lord. And so I sit, on my laptop, fulfilling with what the Lord has asked me humbly to do. To thank him for this wonderful and stay commited to blogging every wednesday this year, even though the last two blogs I've posted were on thursdays.

The celebration part was talking with Derek Walter about evolution. I will post the conversation at the end of my blog.

Which is now
-----------
Brent says:
hey
Brent says:
you there?
Derek W says:
yah, kinda
Derek W says:
im doing my reading for bio
Derek W says:
what can i do for yah?
Brent says:
I got this assignment for Science and the Bible at my school; and we need to ask these 9 questions to someone who knows something about evolution... or something like that, and your the smartest scientific person I know!
Brent says:
do you think you can answer 9 questions for me
Brent says:
It will probably take 5-10 minutes
Derek W says:
yah haha this is funny because that is what im reading right now
Brent says:
NICE!
Derek W says:
my biology course is gebetics, evolution, and ecology
Derek W says:
genetics*
Brent says:
I need to know for myself, do you believe in evolution
Derek W says:
yup
Brent says:
sweet
Brent says:
I'm biased growing up in a christian house believing in creation, but I got nothing against evolution as a theory... anyways
Brent says:
it could be right for all i know
Brent says:
ok question 1)
Derek W says:
haha and i have nothing against creationism haha
Brent says:
(BY the way I didn't make these questions up)
Derek W says:
ok haha
Brent says:
1. Do you believe in God? If so, briefly explain your view
Derek W says:
I'm boarderline agnostic haha so not enough to say yes
Brent says:
so could you explain what that means
Brent says:
like there might be a god?
Derek W says:
well it asks if i believe in god... and that is a problematic question, because i respect people believing that there is a god, or gods, but technically i don't so we'll just say 'no'
Derek W says:
to make life easier for everyone
Brent says:
ok
Brent says:
good enough for me!
Derek W says:
haha, don't hate me for my answers, im taking evolutionary biology and philosopy, you shopuld see how much they contradiuct each other haha
Brent says:
I love your answers
Brent says:
There giving me free marks
Brent says:
plus for all i know I could be completly wrong with my whole jesus thing
Brent says:
anyways
Brent says:
2. How do you think the universe began?
Derek W says:
you really want me to say Big Bang don't you?
Brent says:
no
Brent says:
I just want your honest opinion
Brent says:
i'm not trying to trick you
Derek W says:
that is my honest opinion, but i wish i could word it differently
Brent says:
well i don't know the specifics to the big bang
Derek W says:
oh well big bang theory is the technical term
Brent says:
ok but what is the big bang?
Derek W says:
a massive release of energy caused by matter and anti matter freely canceling its self out, the 'winner' of the back and forth being matter, which then expends to fill the known universe, and anti-matter to be shoved way off to the edges where we can't see it
Brent says:
wow
Brent says:
i have no clue what that means
Derek W says:
hahaha
Brent says:
but i can think of one word
Brent says:
bonus marks
Derek W says:
hahaha
Brent says:
oh wait
Brent says:
that was two
Derek W says:
well let me explain it a little simpler here
Derek W says:
i love talking about astro physics even though im not taking it
Derek W says:
so yah, you have matter, no actual molecules or atoms or anything, just tiny specs of real matter
Derek W says:
its floating around in a void, and it is there along with its opposite
Derek W says:
which is anti matter
Derek W says:
when a particle of one touches another, they eliminate each other and energy is released
Derek W says:
the big bang is just a massive scale reaction, that left more matter left over than anti matter
Derek W says:
(the theory is that there was always more matter to begin with)
Brent says:
sweet
Brent says:
thanks for the explain
Derek W says:
any time
Derek W says:
so yes, that is how i think the universe began
Brent says:
cool; see i'm not just getting free marks, i'm also learning
Brent says:
woops
Brent says:
*not just getting*
Brent says:
ah crud
Brent says:
that whole sentence sucked
Brent says:
anyways
Derek W says:
hahaha
Brent says:
3. How do you think life originated?
Derek W says:
now this is a great question since we just talked about it for an hour yesterday in bio
Brent says:
nice
Brent says:
did anyone bring up creation?
Brent says:
guess not...
Brent says:
lol
Derek W says:
no haha, that is what people talk about in arts courses
Derek W says:
which im also in
Derek W says:
but thats a different story
Brent says:
yup
Brent says:
sorry i got you off track... probably had a whole sentence already typed
Derek W says:
ok so from this stand point, life originated when non living molecules became attracted to one another, and formed the first RNA type molecules
Brent says:
sweet
Derek W says:
RNA is in our cells, and are the molecules that help our cells produce proteins, which is what all cells need to function
Derek W says:
now RNA eventually changed shapes and started picking up nutrients ect... and the RNA began to change
Derek W says:
once it started changing, it can technically be considered "alive"
Derek W says:
because it was adapting
Derek W says:
so, that is the very most simple origin of life
Brent says:
sweet
Brent says:
i like your use of adapting
Brent says:
another word for it; evolving...
Brent says:
right?
Derek W says:
technically yes
Derek W says:
but afdaptation adn evolution are technically different
Derek W says:
but it did both
Derek W says:
and sorry about my spelling haha
Brent says:
well is adaptation more of micro evolution and evolution is what scientist term as macro or am I way off?
Derek W says:
you are close, an adaptation would be within one generation, and evolution takes place over many generations
Brent says:
i see
Brent says:
ok ok
Brent says:
sorry
Brent says:
I'm not actually suppose to sway from teh questions until I finish the course and can actually throw what I learn in class into the discussion.
Derek W says:
hahaha
Brent says:
anyway 5. How old do you think the earth is and why?
Derek W says:
a bunch of billions of years old, because geology says so by using carbon dating, core samples, and also because of plaeontology (digging up prehistoric things)
Derek W says:
but carbon dating core samples from the Earth is a sure fire method
Brent says:
cool
Brent says:
6. Do you believe in life on other planets, aliens or UFO's?
Derek W says:
Yes, Yes, and Yes though for UFOs that depends... they would have to be some really advanced aliens to be able to make it out of their own solar system haha
Derek W says:
but i certainly do believe in them
Brent says:
ok
Brent says:
(someones been watching STargate SG-1 a little too much) oh look i broke the rule again
Brent says:
>_>
Derek W says:
hahaha meh
Derek W says:
rules are there to be bent and broken
Brent says:
yup
Brent says:
in my case
Brent says:
I believe that if GOd wanted to create them he could, and it even says in revelations we are to rule over something... not specified.. so maybe it's these aliens you speak of
Brent says:
haha
Brent says:
Ok ok...
Brent says:
7. Is evolution still happening, and if so, what do you think will be the end result?
Derek W says:
evolution will keep happening after humans are dead and gone, it is a constant process that can not be stopped until there is no more life. Every living thing evolves, and there isn't anything that can stop that except the end of a species
Derek W says:
the end result... well that is impossible to tell
Derek W says:
anything is possible really
Brent says:
do you think humans will further evolve?
Derek W says:
yes, but into what i can't say
Derek W says:
evolution isnt things like growing extra limbs, or getting a bigger brain
Derek W says:
that isnt it at all, most evolution happens at a microscopic evolution
Derek W says:
did you know that 5% of Earth's population is immune to HIV/ AIDS
Brent says:
nope
Derek W says:
lets say that 5% does better, and passes those genes along, eventually humans will be immune to HIV and AIDS
Derek W says:
that is natural selection
Derek W says:
and thus evolution
Derek W says:
scientists know those genes are transferable
Derek W says:
and so eventually in the future we might have humans who are immune to cancer, and to AIDS
Brent says:
nice..
Brent says:
8. do you believe in life after death? Explain
Derek W says:
hmmm.... not really no...
Derek W says:
as much as i wish it were true, i dont really see how its possible
Brent says:
ok
Brent says:
i'm not looking for the answers i would give anyway
Brent says:
this is the last question, but it's phrased really weird
Derek W says:
ok
Brent says:
9. How do your beliefs in origins and evolution affect your sense of purpose for your own life?
Derek W says:
hmmmm haha well i guess it makes me feel like my purpose is to pass on my own bit of genetic code to the next generation in hopes of helping create a brighter future
Brent says:
sweet
Brent says:
ok, thanks alot
Brent says:
i am so getting 100% on this one!
Derek W says:
no problem
Derek W says:
glad to have been helpful

It was a great moment of evangelism, learning and bonus marks... I love bible college homework.

Saturday, January 05, 2008

Well, today is my official blogging day I decided to take, so I'm blogging.

So I have this really bad habit of planning things by day of the week, instead of day of the month and it got me into trouble yet again today.

Also, I've just been an idiot for about the past 48 hours. So, I'm sorry.

This blog sucks.
So did this morning. (- the breakfast I had.)

Thursday, January 03, 2008

Thanks Brent.

I do have some knowledge of spelling and grammer, I just choose to ignore it because it makes life, and typing easier.

Now, since I have a blogging day for the war college blog too (which you all should read, even though I haven't been posting since before kettles..) and that day is Saturday, I will make my day to blog on this blog saturday as well.
You have no say in this matter Brent.

It's another year after

Happy New year bloggers, if any of you actually still read blogs that is.

---
Tangent
---
Speaking of which I've noticed; and I'm not one to talk, that the blogging community has died off this last year. Checking all my friends posts or reading their comments has pretty much ended for me not because I don't have time to check; but because like me, they seem to have decided to move onto better things. Namely... facebook.

Tangent aside; people stay commited with something; eventually something will come along to replace facebook (even though, years earlier "myspace" was around that did pretty much exactly the same thing)

I'm making a note to blog more; or at least post once a week. I set apart Wednesdays as my day, and then I noticed today was thursday and my coversation with myself went as follows:

Brent- It's Wednesday time to blog!
Brent- *checks date* CRAP! It's thursday!

Anyhoo, If you haven't noticed my better half has joined my blogging center of inane idiotcracy and both of us decided to not proofread anything we post. Which is good, cause I seldom do it with my time restraints and efforts I push towards each post, and the fact that Jessica has no grammer nor spelling knowledge and I'm only openly declaring this so you won't notice her giant mistakes in proportion to mine.

YAY!

Fuzzy stickers are fun.
That is all
