Good - NEXT

The oddest looking car was sitting there, it had a Rolls Royce front end, and,
a Caddilac back end, the two cars were put together, Rolls front with a Caddilac back end. The license plate read - NEXT - know why?

Priority One

The famous ad went, "At ------quality is job one,"
remember that phrase, remember the company that
made it up and took it to heart? What's your
first priority, what really grabs your attention,
is it possible that we are sometimes not clear
on this? As important as it is, we sometimes
live as if though we had no job one?

Two or More

It always seems fascinating how we can see some things
and yet miss so many others. Guess that's the nature
of perception. Take for example the saying that most
people are familiar with, " For where two or more
are gathered together in my name, there am I
in the midst of them.Matthew 18:20" We usually
find the emphasis being placed on the two and
not the or more? Imagine the excitement that Jesus
was conveying about the power that was being
brought home to man, and imagine his dismay,
even today, at how little is done about that?

PURRfect Peace


Glad you stopped bye, we have some interesting things going on- want to encourage you to take a trip to some places that are very deep in thinking about God - not "head pain" deep, but wonderfully refreshing in their approach to the art of thinking about and loving God. Please comment if you'd like..

incredible JESUS CREED site


John Frye, author of "Jesus the Pastor" among others,
but that is an INCREDIBLY good read!

OK Already

Sometimes it just doesn't seem fair does it? I remember a speeding ticket some years back, after I got it, and was out of the cops sight, the pedal went down again, why? Cause I figured I paid for that section of the highway, I ought to be able to use it some! On the other hand, one time an officer of the law pulled me over for going 60 in a fifty five...he said, "Tell you what I'm gonna do, I'm gonna give you a break this time...just slow it down, OK?" For at least the next six months, on that road, I lightened up on the gas pedal. What's the point- maybe it's something to do with ...grace? Today I still remember that, and slow down as a result of it. One was the law, and it was paid it's due- the law is the law, it is necessary for survival, for relevance in a society, and to maintain order. The other is grace, it isn't necessary at all, but it sure has an impact, wouldn't you say?

The Fourth - Ah what a day indeed...

Sometimes we thing we understand what we are doing, in fact, if you asked us we'd be glad to tell you how right what we were doing is- only, we don't have the big picture, in fact, where our understanding of God leaves off is really where God that is real begins, God is do much more than we can take in, Isaiah saw that:

Take Down!

We see things a certain way - often we convince ourselves it is the only way- the next step on that train is to believe that it is the ...right way. There is a huge difference between a way, one which works, and one which is right. Right can come only from God and what we have in God is His word, we have this as the Bible. We are blessed to be able to read Isaiah, let's see what he reveals today:

"The Real Mary" The book to get ...out soon!

On a personal note,Scot McKnights blog is one where you can really get your cup filled. He is discussing and writing about the things that many Christian's today are scared to wonder about, when really those are the very things that deepen your faith. Don't be afraid to think as well as feel in your faith. This book is going to be a huge hit.
For more information on Scot McKnight's The Real Mary visit www.paracletepress.com. Please feel free to pick up this posting for your own site, blog or e-mail lists and help spread the word and get important dialog going on who the real Mary is.

Awesome can be in stages...

We're used to life in stages, that's how we live it,
however, does anyone see a difference between the
way God views life and the way we view it? Here
in Isaiah 6:3 we have some clues that may be worth
looking into- what would you say?

Hi Folks: Glad you are here, over on this site, click image to go-
Scot McKnight is really having some incredible discussions. Join in, it's hard not to get blessed in them, they have taught me much. So much is happening in the world these days that seems so drastic...

Three days before 9/11 anniversaryThe bombing came three days ahead of the fifth anniversary of the Sept. 11 attacks and as Afghans started commemorating the Sept. 9, 2001, assassination of revered anti-Taliban mujahedeen commander Ahmad Shah Masood.

NBC VIDEO•
Convoy targetedSept. 8: At least two U.S. soldiers were among the dead after Friday's car bombing in Kabul. NBC's Kerry Sanders reports.
Today showThe blast went off about 50 yards from Kabul’s landmark Massood Square, which leads to the main gate of the heavily fortified U.S. Embassy compound. It left a 6-foot wide crater and left a carnage of body parts, Muslim prayer caps, floppy khaki-colored military hats and shoes.
A witness, Najibullah Faizi, said he saw a blue Toyota Corolla driven by a young heavyset man speed past another car on the inside lane before ramming one of two U.S. Humvees in a convoy.

Man alive, it's been weeks and weeks since I've had a minute to check here, have to get here more often. This week has been tied into the four sermon week, plus a paper on "Mere Christianity", which has proved to be a really deep read, for the third of fourth time. The world is frying, right before our eyes, Israel and the Hezbollah are not going to get peaceful, apparently; which means that Isaiah chapter two is even more intensely to be studied. Beyond this, my flock continues to hang together as a core group. One of these days I know they are going to get it, they are goint to reach out, they are going to grow, I can just feel it in my bones, sense it in my prayers, and feel the love comin' to the surface. Hope you have a great week, a great day in Jesus and write a comment if you've a mind ta...

Thanks...Bro. Dana

What a break

Well my friend who likes little green footballs has quit contributing much and just reads the news? Are we, do you think, possibly looking at a cyclic adventure? I know that my daughter blogs at facebook like mad, so, don't know if the thing is the place of origin, the way we blog, or, the source, there is one called myspace that is pretty popular also. I wonder if it is cyclic in terms of contributing, because to enter comments does take time? What do you think?

Sunday, March 12, 2006

Surely you jest?

If my freind didn't love http://littlegreenfootballs.com so much, it wouldn't even be on my radar, but he put it there, and now after flipping down the dialogue therein; I'm thankful he did- blogs need to be open, they need to be uncensored, and we need to have courage enough to shout down our deeper darker sides. How can such shouting take place while people are busy yawning?

The changes come - its inevitalbe

Just as we watch people grow from children into teens, and teens into adults, so it is that everything, has a cyclic growth to it. What this implies in the strongest possible way, is that observing growth is observing a force at work that we can observe, even manipulate in some instances, but we cannot control. We didn't make this force, we don't make growth, it occurs until the organism ceases to grow and metamorphoses into something different. That we believe that this must inherently tell of the creator makes sense, great scientific minds have always proclaimed such, and it is mere observation that allows an individual to see this. What is interesting is that this creator has allowed us to become communicative. What do you think?

Controversy

The season of controversy in the southern U.S. - its thunderstorms and mystery and much of what makes both interesting, also makes them dangerous. "In the USA civilian sector, lightning causes losses of $4-$5 billion per year (NLSI, 1999). In the government sector, the military (DDESB - Department of Defense Explosive Safety Board) has reported 88 identifiable lightning induced munitions explosions with costs and deaths not calculated. DDESB was formed as a result of the July 1926 Picatinny Arsenal incident, which killed 14 people and cost $70 million. The US Department of Energy (DOE) has reported 346 known lightning events to its facilities during the 1990-2000 period." [NLSI]

The Dog Has The Right Idea And Approach

When two minutes or three have gone bye and I haven't petted her, my dog will bump up against me with her snout, its a way of saying, "hey, you haven't petted me in a while, what's the deal?" Its a nice thing though, because it shows that she does in fact relate to me. Hmm, wonder if we might take a lesson on getting along with each other on some level from this behavior?

less catch our breath. Kurzweil is making the point constantly
that we really aren't getting our minds around what is coming

Pass - The Ketchup

It is impossible to catch up - we can closely associate to catching up, but real catching up cannot be accomplished. This is nice to know when it comes to the real world where we are often behind. The real trying part of this is that time passes, and we don't catch up with moments that are passed- and, we can't get ahead of it either- so, that means it cannot be done, right?

NOW - the fun starts

A truly sad announcement if you've been a fan, and I've been a huge fan.
{click on picture for full story...}

This show gave us insight sometimes, and sometimes, just plain old good fashioned humor. It added a personalized vision at times to the immense level that the Federal Government of the United States has at it's head. The President and the people around the President, as one branch of three was displayed as human. The show had ups and downs - such as when they left the Governor of California elected off their staff and did nothing with that story line portion; but, even with ups and downs as all drama has, this has been a show that I truly enjoyed and I shall hate to see it go...but that's how changes happen, right?

Now the fun starts: what will the replacement be...hmm, let's see...how about a show about a motor car company who realizes they have missed the boat (no pun intended) and because of this horrible miscue the execustives (numerous multi level 8 figure income types) are going to each contribute 200K to the 35,000 workers who they shafted as an offering of contrition? Could be done...won't be done...and ...35,000 folks is a bunch of people to have pissed off at one time...were it me and were I one of those chieftans...don't know...I think I'd find cover somewhere...oh heck...ain' I stupid...like they'd stay in the U.S. ...when they can go to the Bahamas...geez...my bad....

Admitting to it ...a fan that refuses to whine!

Nope...no whining here...Pittsburgh showed Denver that the one touchdown favorite of playing at Invesco field, didn't mean squat. Denver for some reason went flat, could it be that Pittsburgh let the air out of their tires? Now of course it becomes a must root for Pittsburgh...the enemy of my enemy is my friend? Best to them and who knows, maybe next year Denver will achieve what they are capable of.

The Day Before - It's Predictions Time

Pickin' the winner - it's fun - (Click to see what the experts say)
and it helps to be right - so here goes - Denver will win at Invesco - but it could be close - depends upon the defenses. Plummer can be a factor, when he's hot he's hot, and this season people can say what they want but Plummer has done the job in a spectacular way! Since I'm a die hard Denver fan it really isn't a big deal to me who wins, but, it seems to me that Carolina beats people up - yeah I realize what a football cliche that is, but they seem very strong against some opponents and it will be fun to see how they handle Seattle. The factor that nobody really takes into account is the home team advantage, it's been said that this can be worth a touchdown, and let's how much the point difference is in the win for Carolina. Let me know what you think...would love to hear your sides...

Makes Perfect Sense...darnit....

Motivation is the key - that can be positive or negative. A couple that we know motivated their daughter by scaring her, constantly telling her what she had to lose if her grades fell - they never did. She didn't seem particularly unhappy, she went out, is now in college, holds a job and does well. Darnit- because, the motivation employed was negative, and, don't know about you but I love a world where things are rosey, people are nice, and they do stuff becuase it needs doing- then there is the truth- sometimes that doesn't work. What is needed is motivation to help people achieve and become more, that motivation can be and often is, negative. That motivation can also be positive, my question is, can one be substituted for the other successfully?

Just [NOT] Guessing

BEING -versus- KNOWING

Frankl in "Man's Search for Meaning" (Touchstone Press, ISBN 0-671-24422-1, 1984) points out the level of detachment that is possible in people, and that the more extreme the circumstance, the more the detachment becomes a part of their behavior. Is this what we in America are seeing take place right in front of our eyes, only we don't see it, because we are detached? What do you think?

"Welcome My Friends....to the show....

...that never ends" quote off the West Wing from President Bartlett to a young Congressman. Who can tell the whimsical ways of government these days, I certainly can't, and it's at the behest, of such that research can be funded. Those aren't the only funds, but if the research isn't ground breaking and money making; though it have merit, it still may not see the light of investment angels money, hence, the behest of government grants looms large. Had to let this one go - it's the eleventh hour and my puny brain has run dry of creative endeavor- this is a tough one, it was within our grasp- but, there will be a tomorrow, this isn't the only fight we're gonna fight, and, 800 G's is a lot of smackers to walk away from, but it's better sometimes to walk away, rather than run from an impending disaster. So it's time to begin the search again for bucks. Saw an interesting book for writers, and many people who blog are also writers- check it out at:

True - it isn't free, but it is worth it - has tons of great ideas, and tons of terrific research and references. If a couple hundred bucks a week for three to six hours work would interest you, it's probably worth your checking it out. That's not bad money. {click on image}

Programming - and then there is...PRO-gramming

What we have in our lives are people, and books, all else, is entertainment of some sort. The people who bring about some difference in our existence, we remember them, usually for what they got us to see- the books we read, in some fashion go into those same lines, if I feel from reading it, likely it will stick with me. Same with programming - the strongest lessons tend to stick with me - what about you? What's your favorite language to program in? I have two - they conflict somewhat - I use a little C++ and some JAVA, have knowledge in others, as my favorite thing to get into is what a language will do - and there are many new ones coming out, RUBY as an example, and there are advances in the existing languages, AJAX, for example. In my feeble brain it occurs to me that there are people who do code, and then are people who take the art of their lives and put that into their programs. One such person is a great man I know - check out his web site at: http://www.cretesoft.com great folks at this place...loads of knowledge...but I find programmers are generally really bright types ...very creative types, what about you, do you find them to be such? Let me know what ya think out there... - Dana
