Save the trees and kill the children.

One of my favorite quotes in a song is Casting Crowns song O Little Town of Bethleham.  In the third verse they sing of our country and it goes like this. 


 United States of America looks like another silent night.  As we are sung to sleep by philosphies of save the trees and kill the children. 

I was on facebook today and one of my friends from high school was doing a survey that they wrote a note about and one question was what are your thoughts on abortion.  Their answer absolutely ripped open my heart.  And of course this person always talks about equality and love and save the earth.  But the babies well we can murder them.  They are not humans anyway.   This was their answer:


Explain what you think about abortion
Do it.... especially if you dont want it, and are going to put it up for adoption.  There are way too many people in this world to go around.....we dont need more unwanted babies.

My Car

My fiance said that this song reminded her of my car.

This song represents what I am thinking while I study for these stupid exams.

NO EVIL?????

I am sitting here in the computer lab waiting for my lovely fiance to get out of class so we can go home (different homes.  I have no car though so she is my ride).  As I sit here I thought I might as well maximize my time, so I decided to listen to Ravi Z instead of play neopets (that and the fact that I would be whipped if seen playing neopets in the lab) and he was talking about why he can't be an atheist.  He was talking about the moral law and then he said this from Richard Dawkins:

"Dawkins has gone so far as to say we have to deny the reality of evil if our argument is 
going to stay."


WOW.  Any person in their right mind knows how evil this world is.  Sad that someone would rather deny evil than recognize Christ.  Or at LEAST recognize that there is evil and that there absolutely HAS to be a moral law.   The time is 10:47 (Rush Limbaugh voice)

Top Ten Speakers

Another thing I will be starting is my "Top Ten Lists". This list will consist of my top ten favorite people I have ever heard speak.


10. Matt Johnson- He was a music leader at Camp Barakel in Michigan where my old youth group used to take trips to. He was absolutely incredible. He was very passionate and reached me personally.

9. Pastor Cal Emerson- He was my childhood pastor at Northgate Wesleyan. I loved pastor Cal very much and I enjoy when I have been able to go back and listen to him preach (although it has been probably half a decade since I was able to). It is very easy to tell how much Pastor Cal loves people. I always enjoy talking to him, and enjoy listening to him.

8. Pastor Scott- My pastor up in Mt. Pleasant. He is a hilarious guy who most definitely has the gift of humor. He also definitely has a heart for the Lord. He enjoys teaching the Word and I certainly enjoy listening.

7. Mark Driscoll- ahh good ol Driscoll. I must admit I very rarely listen to Driscoll, mainly bc I don't have the time to listen to a whole sermon. Still, when I do listen to him I fervently enjoy his passion for Christ. He is a very funny man and has most certainly encouraged me to become a more manly man.

6. Allistar Begg- Begg is an absolutely awesome speaker. I subscribe to his podcasts and I have thought upon sermons such as suffering and anxieties (especially the latter). I don't know if it is the accent that draws me in, but something does.

5. Jerry Goinea- (not sure how to spell the last name so I will refer to him as Mr. G) Mr G was my favorite teacher of all time. Everyone else hated him because he was so strict, but I absolutely loved him. He had such a passion for Christ and desperately wanted to share that passion with his students. He is the one person that helped me the most in my beginning months of being a Christian. I would ask him questions and talk with him about struggles. A great man and I wish I could tell him. (The only reason he is not higher is because him speaking was not as fun. English teacher yuck)

4. Tom Harmon- I personally believe that I am came to Christ during one of his sermons. Listening to him was absolutely amazing. He had such a knowledge of the word and he was incredibly entertaining.

3. John Piper- THE MOST PASSIONATE GUY I HAVE EVER HEARD. No matter what it is John Piper will put all his passion in it. His knowledge is amazing, and the way that he answers questions and struggles is amazing. He never answers without serious thought. And every answer he lays out with love and thoughfulness. Amazing speaker

2. Ravi Zacharias- Kudos to dad for turning me on to this guy. He has such a knowledge of both Western and Eastern culture. I can't get enough of Ravi. He just has incredible knowled of, not only Christianity, but other religions too. I have never listened to Ravi and not come away without an incredible amount of knowledge. Shows how much smarter he is than me.

1. Dad- I don't know what it is, but there is just something about listening to your father speak. I think there is just an added bit of personal feelings to it. I believe that he is one of the most passionate people I have ever met. Maybe it has something to do with the glory of sons is their fathers, but my father is who i enjoy listening to the most. I don't think he knows it, but my favorite sermon ever is by him. it was one of our first years at Graham and he spoke on 1 Corinthians 9:24-27. (Don't get cocky dad. ha ha ha)



*At the bottom of every top 10 will be my number one LEAST favorite.


Number 1 Least Favorite Speaker......................................Joel Osteen. even before I knew that he preached the prosperity gospels.

For You Dad

This article is for my dearest father. Growing my father would practically force oatmeal down my throat. Essentially forcing me to be healthy and forcing me to eat right. Can you believe it? Well this article proves that Oatmeal and OJ is one of the best breakfasts you can eat. Granted, the study was inadvertantly done by the makers of some oatmeal and Oj.

Worst Case Scenario_1

My new segment entitled Worst Case scenario. In this first installment I will tell you the worst case scenario of this news article. A warning: I am a pessimist at heart. So those who don't like to hear worst case scenarios (my Fiance) or hear things that are not fun to hear stop reading and go watch some Barats and Bereta videos. In this article there will be armed troops deployed in the U.S. Now an optimist would say yay we are protected. But unfortunately the title is not Best case Scenarios. Ready? ok worst case scenario is that this is just another way for the government to keep tabs on us. As we fall deeper and deeper into a totalitarian government. Go watch V for Vendetta and look at the government in that movie. We are headed to an incredible amount of power towards the federal government, specifically, the executive branch. As our leaders break more and more rules this country keeps sliding down a slow shallow slope, but when we reach the bottom of that slope we will look around and say "How did it come to this?". And we will look back at all the little decisions and compromises we made, such as, these new troops. And that is the worst case scenario.

For all those that are so sad right now........


*Best case is they protect us and Americans are safer and happier buying more and this one act turns the global economy around.
