thanks giving

So thanksgiving 2009 has come and gone and boy do I have a lot to be thankful for. Just started a new job managed to get a few things off my chest where my family is concerned without ruining
The holiday or dinner I got to spend some tin=me with My brother his wife and their two beautiful daughters. got to see a first step saw my grandfather (on my mothers side) fully lucid and able to enjoy meeting his Great-Granddaughters (usually he is a little crazy in the bad way). I got to reconnect with my uncles aunts and cousins that I had not seen in years. I started learning about who I am and accepting the virtues that I have and the gifts that I can share with others. Also the faults that prevent me from truly connecting with those around me. (believe me I am working on those). Something that never really occurred to me before although it should have is that when you accept Christ into your heart it is a little like taking sunglasses off on a really bright day, at first your eyes hurt and you cannot see you might even get a headache but after a short time your eyes adjust and you start to see the world for what it is. the way God intended. Now I am still in the eyes hurt/getting a headache stage but my eyes are adjusting but I can tell you one thing I can see. Is that God is good and his love is sufficient. Peace and God bless

A book

I have this thought that I should write a book. The problem is that I don't think that I have the proper expertise to write said book because the inspiration for said book lies in finding your place in the church community (whether it be a ward, congregation, parish or more generally the greater christian community or the Body of Christ) but I have no formal theological training, no formal philosophical training not even any formal sociological training to give me a "proper" base of knowledge and experience to write a book on a subject that has plagued the greatest minds of christian theo-philosophy (I do not know whether that is a real word) and yet I cannot help but think theat those thoughts are the influences of the enemy. because who better to speak than a person currently trying to find where they belong, maybe I am crazy but then again we already knew that didn't we. Peace and God bless

comedy

so I have been thinking about comedy and what makes something funny. And one of my conclusions is that something is only funny to us if something is getting hurt. puns are funny because you are abusing language, raunchy comedy makes us laugh because it offends our sense of propriety or places a character into embarrassing situations. but not to worrybecause I have noticed something else, when a person falls down a flight of stairs we only laugh if he immediately gets back up because at some level we as human beings are hard wired to care for each other. This makes me wonder, how can I do Comedy that cares. Comedy that does not appeal to the lowest common denominator comedy that wont revert to fart jokes because it is solid enough on its own to not need that crutch. And so I have engaged myself on a quest to find comedy a style for myself that I can use with children, consenting adults, at church, or anywhere else and it will be edgy enough (or relevant enough) to be engaging but will not offend if my grandmother ever heard it. anyway those are my thoughts for now , Peace and God bless

Rino virus

So this whole week has been full of fun and excitement and by fun and excitement I mean that I have had a chest cold. the good news about that is that coughing 10,00,000 times a day is evidently better than doing crunches because my solar plexes are sore and I have a little bit of definition in the gut that I did not have before. GWIMW. Oh well Good by and God Bless

about Paul

Good Sunday morning Some sanity before church. I am reading through 2 Corinthians and something struck me, Paul has ADD for the lord. I say this because he'll be making some point about not worrying weather a person is circumsised or not and then go into a ten page litany about how awesome God is. Now don't get me wrong I agree 110% but as I am reading he will sudenly revert back to whatever it was he was talking about before and I'll have to back track 3 chapters just to get my bearings. Oh well there are worse things

Job Search

So here I am looking for a job. Oh I have a job, just its part time and pays minimum wage. and I can't seem to find anything to either supplement it or replace it. well I could try selling my kidney that might get me through the next month or so. I could also try giving stand up a real shot the only problem with that is I would need to be able to get to the bars that have open mic nights and I cant drive cause no license, or car, means no go. But hey at least I have what I have and God be praised for that. well there will be more eventually but right now I have got to go to work. Peace and God bless

First

I have always thought is odd that people are obsessed with being "first" well you cant be because it is my Blog and I, as you can plainly see am first. That is all I have for now.
