Transformers the MOVIE!?

Corey called me yesterday to inform me that he heard about The New TRANSFORMERS movie that Speilberg is workin on for 07.04.07. I said, “man, what if ILM gets ahold of it” - we both got giddy. Well, guess what bro! They HAVE! Play this video by ILM!

Hard Questions -pt 2

Piggy backin on my post from earlier on this subject (click here) I wanted to add that I believe that being in a relationship forces you (like it or not) to ask, “what do they want” because when you’re in a relationship it’s no longer about you.
You’re joined with someone else.
Whether that be marriage, [...]

Superman

Went to see Superman last night with my son and a bunch of friends. When I first heard about this movie, I didn’t want to see it. I figured they’d screw it up, or whatever. Then I saw some previews…
I was very suprised at the overly “Christian” tones in the movie - [...]

The New Exodus

For the last four weeks I have been listening to Rob Bell & Don Golden teach at Mars Hill on the New Exodus. This series is huge, and if you have the time (make it!) I’d encourage you to check it out. You can do so here.

Hard questions

Before I started following Jesus Christ I had to only answer one question: “what do I want to do?”
Some times that was hard to figure out. Usually it was easy. Some times it hurt people, some times it didn’t, but in the end I did what I wanted to do.
Since then, I [...]

Cryin in the Rain

A black cat moansWhen he’s burning with the feverA stray dog howlsWhen he’s lonely in the nightA woman goes crazyWith the though of retributionBut, a man starts weepingWhen he’s sick and tired of life
I keep on dreaming dreams of tomorrowFeel I’m wasting my timeLighting candles in the windAlways taking my chancesOn the promise of the [...]

Pigs Stink

Finishing off my MacDonald’s breakfast, I pulled into Tim’s driveway at 6:08 ready to go to Hillman to pick up 18 piglets to raise, clean-up after, slaughter and eat.
We left around 6:30.
We forgot his cell phone.
We turned around and got it.
We forgot the directions.
We thought about going on memory, but forgot where we were going.
We [...]

BLOOD: Thirsty?

That line right there would have any Jew (not in nationality, but maybe, but I’m thinking any that has any Judaic sympathies in this beliefs) not to pleased. In Jewish ethos, blood is something sacred, valued, and not to be consumed, touched lightly, nor thought of in any way for dietary means, jokes, etc.
What [...]

Does God Hate Red-heads?

Watchman has a half-humourous, half-serious post on the dangers of how we sometimes exegete the Bible…
It’s hard sometimes to accept certain truths, like that God, based on Romans 9, hates red-heads.
But, since I have been labed as someone who “doesn’t preach or believe the Bible” then I’m going to come right out and say, [...]

MYSPACE: 666

Someone told me myspace was of the devil…well, today I have had 666 profile views on my myspace site….
…the end is near!

Brother’s Coffe & Tea

The owners and operators of Brother’s Coffee and Tea of Gaylord have asked me to come in over the course of several weeks and do some consulting work with them, focusing on their customer service.
I was shocked. Evidently they heard about the job I did running the Taco Bell in Gaylord several years prior [...]

Stirring the Pot: The Downfall of Election: Pride

This Sunday I am going to continue working my way through 1 John. We just started chapter 2 last week, and I will be camping on verse 2 of the chapter:

And he is the propitiation for our sins: and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the whole world
This verse [...]

Are we out of sync?

Have been enjoying an article by Brian McLaren on Leadership, called, “New Models: Preparing the Whole Person for Ministry”. A couple things jumped out at me, mainly because I have been saying them for almost, and over, two years now. Here are a couple excerpts (here is the link).

MUSIC: Slim Pickins

Several years ago me, Tim and Tim 2 got together and recorded a couple cd’s. We named our little group, “Slim Pickins” (I think Tim later changed it to “Daystar”). I put some of our music on a myspace music site.
