Youth Convention...

is this weekend!!!! If your going, its gonna be awesome, if your not be praying for the kids that are going.

The theme this year is uncharted, when I think of that I think of people who were visionaries to see things other people don't. Alot like Christopher Columbus, he went into uncharted territory and had a vision that he could see what was beyond what everyone else though. I also think if the founding fathers of the US. They all saw something here and went into uncharted territory fighting the british in what has to be a major upset. They then went on to even more uncharted territory and made what is now our Government. To use someone from current day I think of Michael Phelps, he won 8 gold medals at the olympics this year, which is a record that I think will probably never be broken. Michael Phelps went into uncharted waters, so to say, and even when people doubted him, he will won.

I pray that God takes us through uncharted territories this weekend and we get a clearer glimps of who God really is.

Cry Out to Jesus

As I was driving home from work today I was listening to my iPod and the song Cry Out to Jesus came on. Already tired and being stressed and having noone to talk to about it I was wanting something, anything, this song came on, particulary this part

When your lonely
And it feels like the whole world is falling on you
You just reach out, you just cry out to Jesus
Cry to Jesus

Its funny how God works when you least expect it. I was looking for a friend to talk to and maybe give me advice and feeling down about not having one and God was saying to me "Hey im right here". As the tears began to flow I started thinking how far away from you am I that I would not think of you when I need help. I pulled over and started praying, this is what I prayed.

"Lord as I cry out to you im sorry, sorry for putting me before you. Im sorry for thinking you werent there for me. Im sorry for not listening to you. I am listening now. Your the reason I live and breath, the reason I wake up in the morning and the reason I do everything I do. I want you and nothing else. You are my all in all, I love you so much. I need you, I want you, come fill me anew everyday. Lord let your glory fall on me, on everything Lord. I pray for a refreshing of you everyday I wake up. most of all Lord be my best friend and thank you for this calling you have given to me, thank you for this life. amen"

My Prayer for America

Lord this election has tried to tear us apart. Father, I have thought, said, seen, heard and felt some ugly things directed towards each other. Father, these words have not reflected You and Your character. Lord I pray… Father, forgive me! Lord, restore me and restore my nation!Father, restore our unity. Many times Lord we have had to fight for our unity. Our unity in the concept of freedom. We believe that every human has the right to liberty, life and the pursuit of happiness. We believe you have called us to be fighters of freedom. But Lord, we have demonized each other in attempt to win people to our side. Father, forgive us!I pray that Lord You would be our source of unity! Lord, be the connection that protects us from the evil one and even the more, from living out the nature of the evil one.Finally, I am convinced that neither death nor life nor principalities will seprate us from te love of Christ!

Am I afraid? Yes I am afraid that we Your people don’t trust You.

Am I worried? Yes Worried that we Your people have taken our eyes off of You.Lord on Nov. 5th and 6th and 7th… let there be a unity, A unity that shouts ONE NATION UNDER GOD, ONE NATION UNDER GOD, ONE NATION UNDER GOD.

Lord we don’t know what to do, but our eyes are on You!Lord my prayer for America is that we together, come together in faith and hope not in a politician but Lord may we all declare. IN GOD WE TRULY TRUST

My view on the Trinity

everyone has heard the Trinity example of an egg or water but I propose this as a new example, the coffee trinity example

The whole bean state is God, everything comes out of the whole bean,
The ground up coffee is jesus, not a whole bean but still as effective,
The liquid form is the Holy Spirit, goes in your body and fills you up.

church and state

if you would answer this question. all of it some of it or just a part of it, I would really like to know.

Evaluate the role of religion in American history. what have been its strengths, shortcoming? do you think the concept of the separation of church and state is presently working in the manner our founding fathers intended?

read this, wow, umm, how can people vote for obama?

Political debates

here are my thoughts on the political debates that happened tonight... this was written as I was watching the debate.

- 6:32 Obama’s history is scandalous He is an outright liar and never has a thought of his own. Every time McCain has an idea, two days later Obama states it as his own. Obama thinks people are stupid. He thinks no one listens enough to realize any of this. Obama’s health care is very, very bad. McCain’s is much better. Read the small print!

- 7:27 McCain answered the questions, Obama often gave snippets of his speech. Obama was predictable using phrases like “the last eight years” in hopes to link McCain and Bush indelibly together in the minds of the American Public. I think the American public is smarter than that. Obama should have gotten a few more terms as Senator under his belt before running for the highest office in the land and the most powerful man in the world. Either candidate will bring some kind of change…. I support McCain as the man of experience and the man to bring the kind of change I can live with. Bottom line? Obama scares me.

- 8:05 Obama should scare us, he has voted 94 times to raise taxes while as a Illinois senator. He talked tonight about lowering taxes and doing the right thing for Americans, his track record does not prove that. He also talked about health care and refused to answer the question of how much a fine would be if we didnt have health care. Obama also didnt answer the last question presented to him. I guess he knows everything.

bottom line is that McCain won the debate tonight in my opinion.
