WOAAA PODCASTS!!!

So I just found out what podcasts are and that they are freeeee.  I just subscribed to a few.  Today I was listening to two people and both had excellent quotes in them  The first was by Ravi Zacharias.  He was talking about Gandhi and Christ.  This is what Ravi said about Gandhi

Many Things he wished he could remove (of the Christian faith).  Many things he didn't understand, many thing he didn't like.  But the most powerful truth in the Christian gospel is unmatched anywhere else.  It is the cross of Jesus Christ.

The Second is by Alistair Begg decribing "wisdom" and universities in relation to Jeremiah 9:23-24

There is a sense in which the average university campus is a microcosm of western 

culture unraveling at the very fountainhead of intellectualism.  We are supposed to 

anticipate that if there is an answer anywhere presumably it is here.  Presumably after

all this time man in his wisdom has been able to sort it all out.  But of course even to

say that sounds ridiculous.  You only need tomorrow's newspaper to know that we are 

not sorting much out at all.  And the word of God is.....You shouldn't boast in your 

wisdom.  Some of the worst graffiti that you can find, the cleverest and rudest graffiti

is found in University campuses.  Wisdom is not synonymous with goodness.

Mr. Begg certainly knows college campuses.

Hot Bed for Confrontation

This whole area of Southeast Asia is just a hot bed.  IT is scary to think about what could happen with all the power over there.  Whether it be relations like this between the Korea's or China and Japan or China and North Korea.  I am told by my Asian history professor that the DMZ is one of the scariest most dangerous places on earth.  

Traditions baby

It is halloween time and I am so excited.  I am a huge fan of traditions.  My family has about a bazillion traditions and I absolutely love them.  Last year I started a tradition with my fiance on halloween.  We get pizza and candy and then watch some scary movies.  Well, OUR kind of scary movies.  Which means last year we watched Jurassic Park and Jurassic Park 2.  Both were excellent.  This year we are making it a 2 night event and watching Jurassic Park (that has become an every year tradition) and Jaws the first night.  The second night we are watching Sorry Wrong Number and And then There Were None.  I am soooooooo excited.  The reason I love traditions like this is because it kind of brings people together.  Like Since the beginning of October we have both been very excited.  It is gonna be sweeeeeeet.

Signs of the Apocalypse_3

Well it seems as though it will be decided by a jury if paddling is child abuse.  According to this story the kid had bruises.  My father paddled me.  Do I resent him?  I think it has caused a void in our relationship.  A void that can only be filled by a big bear hug.  I don't think he will go for that.  Did I get bruises?  No.  But I think I got emotional bruises.  Sniff sniff.  My mother also paddled us, but my resounding picture of her paddling was when she spanked my older brother and he started to laugh.  My mother's serious face could not contain the laughter.  Ahhh good times good times.  I personally am all for spanking.  One time my dad gave me an ultimatum.  I could pick up all the sticks in the backyard or get a spanking.  Well I feared spanking like the plague so I picked the chore.  SO my dad used spanking to get chores done.  What a manipulator.

OH HO Monsieur

My dad showed me this video a while ago. I found it again today. Ha ha ha soooo funny. The announcer is the best

Colbert shows how a REAL presidential debate should be like

I love Colbert. I laughed so hard at this. He is just so accurate.

REL 101 (60 seconds instead of a semester long)

Wow.  These guys are talented.  And have loads of time on their hands.

Guys at College

This may be inapropriate to some people but this very accurately describes 80% of the guys I meet at college. No joke.

The TRUTH about Global Warming

I read this in a news article.  This lady is so smart.  She has totally figured out Global Warming!!!!!

"The Global warming debate has developed a pattern: In Part A, a scientist makes a scary claim and gets headlines for himself, and his funding source, across the known world.  In part B, a few months later new evidence blows the scary claim away- but no press coverage of its demise"

SO beautiful.  I could not have put it better myself.

Ghost Lions

I would be so scared if I saw a lion like this in the wild.  Well I would be scared to see any lion, but a white lion.....yikes.  I would probably pee my pants.  

We are all gonna die

Thats right Climate Change (no longer global warming, mainly because it is really cold in the winter) is gonna kill us all.  OHHHH NOOOO.  My favorite part of this is how in the article the talk about the Arctic and how summer ice will soon disappear.  But they have a picture of a penguin?!?!?  There are no penguins in the Arctic?????  Morons.  Doing crap for sympathy

Gotta Love Animals

I am a big fan of pictures of nature.  The penguin picture reminds me of my little bro bro.  He used to have like a gajillion stuffed penguins.  They were by far his favorite.  I really think the picture of the penguin looks hilarious.

Good ol Wildfires

When I was a kid we used to go to Southern California every year.  It is actually my fondest memory of my childhood.  One year there was a big wildfire close to where we were staying and I remember going to this lake to swim and I asked my mom "Mommy why is it snowing in California.  It is the middle of summer>???"  Well she told me it was ash coming from the fire.  I won't ever forget that year.  You really can't imagine how amazing a wildfire is until you aren't very far away and ash is falling like snow.  What frustrates me about stupid liberals in Michigan are these morons who get so mad that California allows Wildfires.  Granted if it gets too dangerous I agree something should be done, but without wildfires new forests would never grow in California.  And if they did not allow them then the forest would start to die making it incredibly easy for a major major wildfire to start much dangerous than the one that should have happened.  What's the point of this?  Wildfires may seem incredibly dangerous, but without them we can not have new life.  Interesting how God creates new life in forests by destroying them.  Awesome

Geoff Moore is Awesome

The Grammy nominated singer (as he was introduced at my church) was at our church this past weekend.  Wow he is really awesome.  He talked about how he and Steven Curtis Chapman are very good friends and how tough it was for the Chapman family to go through what they had to go through.  He said that he and Steven Curtis Chapman write songs together and that all the good ones that Steven Curtis Chapman sings were mostly written by him.  Ha ha he is a funny dude.  His best story though was this one: His wife came up to him one day and asked him to pray for something.  She asked him to pray about adopting a child from around the world.  He agreed, but what he said was she was not specific enough.  He was praying about it, but he was praying that God would bring her back to her senses.  Well apparently his prayer worked because he does not have one daughter from around the world. HE has TWO!!!  What he said though that I loved was "God is so amazing because he gives us everything we ever wanted even before we realize we actually want it."  Both his daughters are from China and were either abandoned in front of a doorstep or under a bridge.  Then he told a story about his 5 year old Chinese daughter.  She asked him "Daddy did Jesus know my name before you and mommy came to get me".  he gave her a resounding YES and then he told us "And because of that her and I like to sing this song together.  THen he sang "He Knows My Name."  Awesome guy.

Oopsies

oops this was the suppose to be the tag for the last one.  My bad

Persecution for Christ

These Christians in Iraq are being persecuted.  I personally believe that my generation is going to be a very persecuted, if not, the most persecuted in history.  Maybe the generation after me.  Well as Paul says, For it has been granted to you that for the sake of Christ you should not only believe in him but also suffer for his sake.  I hope and pray that when my time for persecution comes that Christ will be with me and I will be ready with Him

I would have punched him in the crotch

Well I guess this just goes to show you that you can find creepos anywhere.  Sad.

God's Majesty

Wow these pictures are amazing.  God's wonders are incredible.  Now you see why I want to work at a National Park so bad.

Ahhhh Astronomy

Sooooo not only is there dark matter and dark energy apparently there is now dark flow also.  What do astronomers know about each of them. In short, little to nothing.  Leaning more toward nothing.
