Bummer

Ok so my physical got rescheduled (LONG STORY) so I ate last night and I'm going to eat tonight. I mean real food. I ate some McDonald's last night. Then I remembered why I never eat their food. I felt so nasty. I'm going to have Del Taco or pizza tonight. But then I'm going back to my grass diet till I have the physical. :-(

The things I wish I could eat.

Ok so my Physical is Tuesday and I've been eating only grass (for like a week) so I can lose weight. So I made a list of the things I wish I could eat right now. :-(

1. Tacos (three hard and three soft)
2. Pizza (thin, extra cheese. Not my usual order but my craving)
3. Burrito (extra beanie and cheesy)
4. Ding Dongs
5. Donut (that small chocolate kind you find in grocery stores)
6. Dr. Pepper (HUGE GLASS)
7. Potato Salad
8. Pepperonis (yeah, like a bag of pepperonis)
9. Sub-sandwich (Foot long)
10. Hot dogs (corn dogs too)
11. Quesadilla
12. McDouble


AND SOME CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES WITH EXTRA CHOCOLATE CHIPS!!!

Enjoy these for me :-(

Tuesday night... I thinking about a McDouble (new discovery of mine at McDonalds, which I never got to)

Please spare a prayer for me. Ask for strength, courage, and endurance

Couldn't help myself

Through one man

I don’t know about yall but sometimes I have more spiritually minded weeks than other weeks. This week has been a week where I have a lot of spiritual things on my mind. Anyway there has been a lot going on spiritually this week for me so I thought I would share some. This week I’ve been thinking about fasting. I have a hard time understanding it. Understanding it in the sense of what place does it have in our lives, how it should be done, when it should be done, so on and so on. Anyway I’ll probably do a study on that later. However during these few days I’ve been fasting and reading scripture books straight through. For example one day I read Mark all the way through and another day I read Romans all the way thought. Romans 5:12-21 is what I want to talk about right now.

12Therefore, just as sin came into the world through one man, and death through sin, and so death spread to all men because all sinned— 13for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. 14Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.

15But the free gift is not like the trespass. For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many. 16And the free gift is not like the result of that one man’s sin. For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation, but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification. 17For if, because of one man’s trespass, death reigned through that one man, much more will those who receive the abundance of grace and the free gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man Jesus Christ.

18Therefore, as one trespass led to condemnation for all men, so one act of righteousness leads to justification and life for all men. 19For as by the one man’s disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man’s obedience the many will be made righteous. 20Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more, 21so that, as sin reigned in death, grace also might reign through righteousness leading to eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Now this is a very common verse. However as common as this is I must confess I have had trouble understanding it sometimes. When I think of what happened with Adam, I think he sinned then it infected all mankind. So I would be confused when I would hear “…For if many died through one man’s trespass, much more have the grace of God and the free gift by the grace of that one man Jesus Christ abounded for many” (verse 15). The reason I was confused was if Adam affected ALL mankind then I’d imagine that Jesus’ gift being “much more” than the trespass would affect ALL mankind as well. The problem is the rest of Romans doesn’t point to ALL of mankind being saved at all, and neither does the rest of scripture. So what did it mean?

When I read it straight through I seemed to have focus on a different part of the verse than I had been taught in other churches. When I was reading it the verses seemed to focus on the effect rather than on who was effect. What I mean specifically is that Adam’s contribution was that sin entered the world. Before Romans 5 the book of Romans speaks about sin getting its power from the Law; not because the Law is evil but because sin sort of had a target to attack us at. Romans 5:13-14 speaks about this matter a tad “for sin indeed was in the world before the law was given, but sin is not counted where there is no law. Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come.” Essentially it seems to be saying that when Adam sinned sin had come into the world and started killing, even though people didn’t have the law. If you can follow this trail of thought you can see the huge impact sin had on state of existence itself.

Now considering the effects of Adam’s sin we know that Christ’s gift had to effect “much more.” So here is what I was thinking. When Christ came, not only did he stop death but he gave us life… and not just life but life eternal. See the power of death is temporary. We physically die. However Christ’s power of life is permanent. We will live eternally. This is a bigger impact! Now all those who are gone will come back (and face judgment). But Christ’s impact is even greater still. See when sin came it only needed one instance of sin to capture you “…For the judgment following one trespass brought condemnation” (part of 5:16). When you are saved by Christ it covers everything “…but the free gift following many trespasses brought justification” (the rest of 5:16). So in this way sin just needed one thing to get you, but when you are freed, even if you sin (regardless of how many times) you are still free; because Christ’s power of life is stronger than sin’s power of death.

This may have been obvious to everyone but it certainly wasn’t obvious to me… till I read it on my own.

Not many will get why this is funny

Confessions of a myspace ad

Ok so I recently started messing with my myspace again because I found out some kids from church use it. Anyway I really wish I could right-click and block image on these ads. It seems like myspace uses these really slutty adds. For example almost everytime after I leave a comment or something I get a match.com advertisement where they have a woman who appears to be sitting at her computer screen having a conversation with me that will end with one of us taking off our clothes.

Anyway I found a confession from this girl named Ashley

Hi my name is Ashley and I want to tell you the secrets of my job


For the next 2mins I'm going to try to convince you that I am every girl you could possibly want and I live near you

Then I'm going to convince you that I'm shy, nervous, and naive


I will do this by picking out the lettuce from my teeth

Then I'm going to convince you that I'm daring, outgoing, and exciting


I will do this by farting and seeing if you heard it

Then I'm going to convince you that I'm silly, funny, and playful


I will do this by denying what you just heard me do

Then I'm going to convince you that I'm thoughtful, deep, and intelligent


I will do this by doing math in my head and add 2 and 3 together even though they are completely different numbers!!!

Then I'm going to convince you that I'm ditzy, flirty, and cute


I will do this by twirling my hair and secretly flipping you off

I hope I've convinced you I'm every girl you want

But I still don't get why you consider me a "Tool of the corporation" because I don't even know how to use a hammer?
