I am excited for tomorrow!!!
I love Wendsday nights they are one of my favorite nights of the week. I go to my Church every Wendsday night to study the book of Ephesians. Our pastor is awesome at digging into the world and describing truths within scripture so everyone can relate to it and understand it. However tomorrow is going to be even better. One of my all time favorite pastors is going to be a guest speaker. Greg Laurie is amazing and I have listened to him as early as 1999. I am truely blessed to beable to hear him in person, I can't wait!!!! If you never heard Greg Laurie before I urge you to give him a listen here....

My Opinion Of Army Of Two.
The plot was good and could have made it a great video game. However whoever wrote the script and diolgue must have just graduated out of junior high. It was horrible and it really was written poorly. I am not exagerating when I state that every other word was the F-Bomb. I should play it again and count how many times the F-Bomb was dropped within the diologue.
It completely ruined the game for me. It fit with the general populus of Xbox Live language wise. It was as if they were using the F-bomb to make the game cool. I am completely dissapointed in EA for allowing this. As for game play I think it was exciting and fun. However the tips you get in the loading menu are horrible. One of them was.....M134 what else needs to be said.
The M134 is a gatling gun that costs 175,000 dollars. You need to save money earned throught the game to buy it. I played throug almost all the levels and saved money just to blow it on an over rated gun dew to a game tip. That gun was horrible! I could have used all that money for upgrades for my weapons. Over all the game was entertaining and I haven't played Xbox with my wife forever!!!
I enjoyed the gaming with my wife and I look forward to Rainbow Six Vegas 2 so we can play a game without hearing the F-bomb dropped every 5 seconds. I'll probably burn Army Of Two now that I've seen what it has to offer the young ears of the world. Parents always screen those video games!!!!

Amazing Prophecy!!!
I read this this morning. It hit me like a ton of bricks. This was the first time I read this and it blew me away. This is about Jesus Christ, and what strikes me is that those who read it back then would be wondering what it meant. The would not clearly see it as we do today. Not only does it use historical references as metaphors but it speaks of future history using those metaphors.
This is multi-leveled and could be read multiple ways if we lived back then when it was written. However we are blessed to live after the fulfillment of this prophecy. So we can admire and see the different levels within this prophecy. All I can say is amazing!!! It was written by Isaiah between 739 and 680 B.C. that is almost 800 years before it came to pass!!!!
I'll put in parenthesis colored blue what I got out of it. However let me say I am no Scholar nor a historian and I am not to proud to say I am wrong. So please point any errors you may see. Again what is in blue is what I got out of it. I do not claim it to be accurate but I think I am pretty close. The can be much written and talked about all of this. I just hit the tip of the ice burg I believe.
Isaiah
CHAPTER 52
Deliverance for Jerusalem
1 Wake up, wake up, O Zion! Clothe yourselves with strength. Put on your beautiful clothes, O holy city of Jerusalem, for unclean and godless people will no longer enter your gates. 2 Rise from the dust, O Jerusalem. Remove the slave bands from your neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
(Above is the promise of salvation. Jerusalem is not only literal but also a metaphor for those who accept Christ as savior as well as the new Jerusalem that ascends from heaven to Earth in the book of Rev.)
3 For this is what the Lord says: “When I sold you into exile, (Reference to Adam and Eve being cast out from The Garden Of Eden as well as the Jewish people exiled in the book of Exodus.) I received no payment. Now I can redeem you without paying for you.”(Saying he owes Satan nothing.) 4 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: “Long ago my people went to live as resident foreigners in Egypt. Now they have been oppressed without cause by Assyria. 5 And now, what is this?” asks the Lord. “Why are my people enslaved again?(This again refers to Adam and Eve as well as Mosses and the Exodus. Assyria is not only literal but also a metaphor for Satan and the oppression of sin.) Those who rule them shout in exultation. My name is being blasphemed all day long. 6 But I will reveal my name to my people, and they will come to know its power.(Obviously Jesus Christ is the name he speaks of.) Then at last they will recognize that it is I who speaks to them.”7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news of peace and salvation, the news that the God of Israel* reigns! (I think this is a way of symbolizing the Crucifiction of Christ on Golgotha.) 8 The watchmen shout and sing with joy, for before their very eyes they see the Lord bringing his people home to Jerusalem.* 9 Let the ruins of Jerusalem break into joyful song, for the Lord has comforted his people. He has redeemed Jerusalem. 10 The Lord will demonstrate his holy power before the eyes of all the nations. The ends of the earth will see the salvation of our God.11 Go now, leave your bonds and slavery. (By accepting Christ as savior we do this.) Put Babylon (The World) behind you, with everything it represents, for it is unclean to you. You are the Lord’s holy people. Purify yourselves, you who carry home the vessels of the Lord. (The Holy Spirit within us.) 12 You will not leave in a hurry, running for your lives. For the Lord will go ahead of you, (Jesus ascending into heaven after Crucifiction and the resurrection.) and the God of Israel will protect you from behind.The Lord’s Suffering Servant13 See, my servant will prosper; he will be highly exalted. (Jesus) 14 Many were amazed when they saw him* —beaten and bloodied, so disfigured one would scarcely know he was a person. (During Crucifiction)15 And he will again startle* many nations. Kings will stand speechless in his presence. For they will see what they had not previously been told about; they will understand what they had not heard about. (Referring to the teachings of Jesus Christ. As well as the Kings who stand before him on the day of Judgement.)
How wonderfully multi-leveled is this prophecy!!! If what I got out of it is right I am awed!!!

Inspiring morning!!!
My usual routine in the morning is to eat a bowl of cereal while coffee is brewing. Once coffee is done I poor a cup and crack open the bible and read until it is time to go to work. I came upon this passage in the bible. It really hit a chord in me. So I figured I'd share it with you all. This is from the book of Isaiah 50:4-11. I've been looking for strength in letting others know about the lord and this was there for encouragement in doing so.
The Lord’s Obedient Servant
4 The Sovereign Lord has given me his words of wisdom, so that I know what to say to all these weary ones. Morning by morning he wakens me and opens my understanding to his will. 5 The Sovereign Lord has spoken to me, and I have listened. I do not rebel or turn away. 6 I give my back to those who beat me and my cheeks to those who pull out my beard. I do not hide from shame, for they mock me and spit in my face.7 Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be dismayed. Therefore, I have set my face like a stone, determined to do his will. And I know that I will triumph. 8 He who gives me justice is near. Who will dare to oppose me now? Where are my enemies? Let them appear! 9 See, the Sovereign Lord is on my side! Who will declare me guilty? All my enemies will be destroyed like old clothes that have been eaten by moths!10 Who among you fears the Lord and obeys his servant? If you are walking in darkness, without a ray of light, trust in the Lord and rely on your God. 11 But watch out, you who live in your own light and warm yourselves by your own fires. This is the reward you will receive from me: You will soon lie down in great torment.

Glitchin!
Looks like I have a few bugs to work out with this templet I created. I don't think I'll do that today. I need to read my book and go grocery shopping and spend some time with my wife and kids. I also have to endure the elliptical again today! I am so not looking forward to it, but at the same time I am??? I might play a little Xbox today with my friend Brian whom I've know from grade school. That should be fun!!!
