It’s the End of the World as We Know It

Found this great article on 5 Ways the World Could End.

Funny thing is global warming isn’t one of them.  Oh and for those you hippies still stuck in the 70′s, a new ice age ain’t gonna kill us all either.

Turns out the earth has actually been warmer than it is now during most of its history. Life seems to have carried on just fine all that time.

If you really want to know about the final days of Planet Earth, I suggest you read the Book of Revelation.

Miles for Steve & Joni

My friend, Steve, is fighting stage 3 Melenoma.  Despite chemotherapy and other treatments, the cancer continues to eat away at this 44 year old husband and father of two.

There is still one final option. Steve has been accepted to a new experimental treatment option in Boston. However, this requires significant resources through travel and expense both of which the Colburn family needs.

We invite you to join Steve, his wife Joni, and their daughters Faith and Grace, to help Steve fight this disease. You can help by donating unused airline miles from your credit card or other points to go toward hotel stays and travel expenses.

To learn more about our effort to save Steve’s life, please visit the Miles for Steve & Joni web page.

Floccinaucinihilipilification?

Is the stock market worthless? How about your home? What about all those other investments? The truth is, yes. They will all wither and fade away.

Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun.

Ecclesiastes 2:11 NIV

Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes?

Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?

And why do you worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was dressed like one of these. If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you, O you of little faith?

So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Matthew 6:25-34 NIV

Put your trust in something that won’t fade away. When you realize that everything you have belongs to God and that He will always take care of you, nothing that happens in Wall Street or Washington can take it away.

Same Great Taste, New Package

I just upgraded to the latest version of WordPress and thought it was as good a time as any to make some other hacks and edits. I really like this theme by Info Creek, even though I’ll probably hack it to death or switch it out soon.  Enjoy it while it lasts.

Note: I decided to try out several themes over the next few weeks to see which ones work best.  Don’t be afraid if you come back and things look a little different.

Note to the Rumor Mongers

I got another email from one of those notorious people who pass along anything that will make the UN or democrats look bad (true or false).  This one claimed the UN was removing the Holocaust from its educational curriculum (The UN has one of those?) like General Eisenhower warned us they would.

Here was my response.

“Once again, you’re passing around a false rumor.

http://www.snopes.com/politics/religion/holocaust.asp

“The Gospel of Jesus Christ and the principles of Christianity are strong enough to stand on their own without the help of lies or half truths.

“The UN may be an evil, often absurd, organization, but nonsense like this just works against sane people who want to point out its real shortcomings.

“On that same note, Obama is not a Muslim.  He may be a completely misguided liberal controlled by the Democratic puppet-masters, but he’s not a Muslim.

“I appreciate hearing from you, but would appreciate it more if you check the facts before bearing false witness against your neighbor.”

I know that sounds a bit harsh, but I think it’s counter-productive and hypocritical to use lies to call the people I disagree with liars.

XX: A Christian at Twenty

Twenty YearsTwenty years ago today I made a decision that radically shifted my entire existence.

The butterfly effect from this one decision saved my life then and continues to give me purpose today. It has affected everything from my voting record to my radio presets. It has dominated major decisions like college, friendships and how I raise my son. It has guided smaller ones like where my extra money goes and how I spend my free time.

I was fifteen when I decided to follow Jesus and had no idea where it would lead. I just knew He had what I needed – even if I had to chase Him to the ends of the earth to get it.

I’m still a Jesus-follower today. There have been times where I was better at it than others, and I still have a lot of room to do it better. But I keep following and He somehow sees fit to keep working on me.

That’s the thing that makes this relationship so amazing. I come to Him a total failure. He says, “That’s okay, because I only work with failures.” Then he picks me up and works a little bit at a time.

Back in 1988, friends and family said it was a phase. Some people even thought I lost my marbles. Many of those same friends and family are now following with me. Others, I’m still praying for.

They all know this thing ain’t going away.

“Twenty years later.. and the truth hasn’t changed.”
- Glenn Kaiser

BTW, If you want to know more about how I met Jesus in the first place, check out my post, Darkness Falls.
