September 10, 2008 – 6:41 amWow its been month’s since my last post. I have all of these topics I always want to blog about, but for some reason I never do! Shame on me!
Looks like its time to start over with yet another redesign!
Cast Into the Deep
July 15, 2008 – 1:41 pmThere’s a story in the bible about a guy named Peter. The story goes like this:
Jesus is teaching loads of people out on the Sea of Galilee one day - typical fanfare for the Messiah. The crowd is standing out on the shore, while he’s standing on a boat owned by this guy Simon. Upon the completion of His teaching, Jesus tells Simon to go out and fish some more. Simon was taken aback, as they have been fishing all night and caught nothing.
See, in those times, and still even today in some places, fisherman would do their work at night, in the shallow part of the water. That’s where all the fish were. They’d swim closer to shore, then the fisherman would lower their nets, and in would swim the fish. That’s the way it worked for thousands of years.
That’s why when Jesus said to throw the nets over into the deep side, and in broad daylight for that matter, Simon must’ve looked at Him like He was crazy! He told him they’ve been fishing all night and caught nothing already. In other words, work time was over, and their nets were empty. Put a lid on it, Jesus! But for some reason, it was their destiny to believe anyway, and they casted their nets.
Lo and behold, their nets were overflowing with fish. It was a miracle. And Simon and Andrew dropped everything and followed Him.
I love this story. I love its simplicity and how easily we can relate it to our modern lives.
Today as I received the Sacraments of Eucharist and Confession, I was reminded again how much God loves me. I pray that as I live out my daily walk with the Lord, that He will bless me with opportunities to show His love to everyone I encounter.
May God bless us all, as we continue to conquer the world with Love.
Guns and Polls
May 20, 2008 – 10:56 amToday I stumbled upon, to my great surprise, the Roots covering Hendrix’s Machine Gun.
I gotta give props to the Roots. They are still holding it down as musical artists in a generation of ring-tone marketeers. Props also to their label for allowing them the creative freedom to retain their own license. God knows theres enough so-called rappers that sell out now a days.
For anyone looking for Jimi’s original (the Isle of Wight version), someone posted it, although they shouldn’t have because the DVD is freakin amazing.
And to those 2 of you who voted for New Orleans to win it all, did you really think so?!
