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

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