Jeremy Camp - My Desire

You want to be real
You want to be empty inside
You want to be someone laying down your pride
You want to be someone someday
Then lay it all down before the King
You want to be whole
You want to have purpose inside
You want to have virtue and purify your mind
You want to be set free today then lay it all down before the King

[Chorus:]
This is my desire
This is my return
This is my desire to be used by you

You want to be real
You want to be emptied inside
And I know my heart is to feel you near
And I know my life
It's to do your will
It's to do your will

[Chorus]

All my life I have seen where you've taken me
Beyond all I have hoped and there's more left unseen
There's not much I can do to repay all you've done so I give my hands to use

[Chorus]

Happy Birthday Darwin

Today marks the 200th Birthday for Charles Darwin, the founder of the theory of evolution. Here are two articles (CNN | Foxnews) which talk about the current state of belief in the theory of evolution in America today. Here is another article that talks about all of the "missing links" that they have found.

in other news there is this article which talks about a new soft drink coming to India that is made out of...

I should probably throw a disclaimer in here that stats that i am a full blown Creationist. I believe that God created the Heaven's and the Earth and that all that we have around us is from God! I am simply posting video's on evolution so that we can take a look at how Evolutionists believe this whole thing works...

Maybe it's just because i come from a family where if you're not 10 minutes early you're late. But it looks like our president is running on "Obama Time" and has shown up late to various events he has needed to attend. To me, being late is a sign of selfishness...but that's just me...see article here.

New Game

So my little brother blogged about this new game that he is playing and wrote about how it relates to the Christian life. I would encourage you, before you play the game, to read what he had to say and think about that as you play the game. Below is his blog post, you can also read it here.

The Lastest Sensation That Is Temptation

I have been addicted to this Internet game as of late. It is called Bubble Breaker. It involves shooting colored "bubbles" that match up with the other "bubbles." When you get three or more bubbles matched up, they explode. So there are a bunch of bubbles randomized and it spins around like a wheel when you hit it. There are times when you can break off many bubbles at once when you break the bubbles that all the other bubbles are attached too. What seems to me is that at random times more and more bubbles with add on to the wheel, usually that the most inconvenient places. If you eliminate all the bubbles in the wheel you go onto the next level which is worth more points.

There are many elements that hit me about this game. In order to move on you must have a balanced, aggressive, yet conservative strategy. You must cut to the middle of the wheel to try to break off all the bubbles attached to the source. You learn from your mistakes and become better the more you play. Even when you fail, you are immediately greeted with a "Try Again" button.

For me it relates to life. At times, you feel surrounded with doubt, pride, lust, struggles, and loneliness. So you start to chip away at it because you want to be better than that. So slowly you get closer and closer to where you want to be. The wheel starts spinning and you aggressively attack issues but are always aware of surrounding temptations. The devil has no hold on you because you have a mighty cross. And when things seem to be going so well more bubbles come in the most inconvenient time. You take a hit, and as you start to fall backwards, the devil laughs in your face. What seems to have been going so well suddenly comes to a halt. You battle on longer and longer hoping for some miracle that you make it, but you don't. Failure comes, you have fallen again, and have sinned again.

It was going so well, things were looking up. If only there was another shot. Then a man named Jesus comes up and hands you a "Try Again." So you try and try again, because you long to be like Jesus, perfect and mighty, yet you never seem to succeed. Further and further you come along as you learn from past mistakes and cut to the source of the problems while chipping away at the outside. Failure is inevitable, but the forgiveness and grace of your Saviour encourages you to strive, to go further.

And so it goes, the never-ending fight with breaking yourself down and making Jesus the center of your life. When there are no outside bubbles, your heart is exposed. People see who you truly are and Jesus is reflected throughout. Though at times the bubbles will pile on more and more, the levels will get harder and harder, but you know with confidence your mission throughout this story called life is your Savior.

Try again and again here.

so i heard on KVNE during the news segment about a 13-year old girl from California who used 14,000 text messages in one month. They said she averaged about 400 a day. Which, if you ask me, is insane! I'm pretty happy with my 250 text per month plan...but 400 a day, honestly? I'll try to find the news article for you guys...
