Make my heart right

I posted this to my xanga site, and thought I would share it here too. I've had one of those weekends where you just sit and wonder why things are the way they are, and how can I change what I am not proud of? Enjoy...

Acts 4:1-4
The priests and the captain of the temple guard and the Sadducees came up to Peter and John while they were speaking to the people. They were greatly disturbed because the apostles were teaching the people and proclaiming in Jesus the resurrection of the dead. They seized Peter and John, and because it was evening, they put them in jail until the next day. But many who heard the message believed, and the number of men grew to about five thousand.
How is it that from the beginings of Christianity there have been peoples persecuted for sharing the good news of Jesus? How is it that we, living in our American dream, safe-and-secure bubbles can't imagine what many have suffered through for the sake of Christ? Apathy. We sit here and look at our news(trash)papers, watch our TV(trash) and Internet(trash) and live OUR lives(trash).

I'm not pointing fingers, but rather examining the plank in my own eye for a minute. Peter and John, two of Jesus' deciples suffered until their ends. But that is not a bad thing. They grew closer to Christ through their suffering then any of us have, or will, through our comfort. What kind of a Christian would I be if I suffered to the extent they did? Where would I be right now? what in my life would be diffarent? Who would I have shared the gospel with? What would I have done for my savior? Would I sit idly by and watch our world go to hell?

Make my heart right with you lord, help me to be a better servant, Help me come to a greater knowledge of you.

New Video of the week, early this time!

Well, even though I found the PS3 vs. Wii video HILARIOUS, my wife didn't lol. So I am going to do the right thing and change the video of the week early this week. Wether it will be a video of the week, or maybe closer to a video of the every couple of day si don't know. This next one is hilarious as well. I can thank my friend seth for pointing this out. He showed it to me last night after bible study.

Well, Trevor is under the knife today, getting his ear cut on, and I wish I could have gone to see him, but I had no choice but to work. Today I've got a busy day planned for me. Work, work, then go to Oswego, pick up the wife and two teens, then back to Parsons...fun, fun. Well, today there isn't much to talk about so back to the grind. I'll see all you cool cats later!

MEOW- The dancing cat

The Gym is calling...

Yup. You heard right, after about a month away, give or take a week or so, I'm heading back to the gym. I am really not looking forward to working out, but hey, that's the way the cookie crumbles. I ahve to get back into shape. I took that busy crazy month off, and I am regreting it. I have gained back a few pounds. The pounds don't bother me so much, it's the fact that I feel like crap at the moment, and I got plenty of sleep last night, and I ahve been eating pretty well recently. So, back I go. I think this evening I will stick to a light cardio work out and do some light lifting. Whatever I do I know without a doubt I will be hurting tomorow, and the day after.

I feel I haven't had a minute to go play warcraft. This shouldn't come as a surprise, or a shock to anyone else. It is kind of a shock to me though. It's not that I'm addicted to it, in fact just the opposite, I could give it up all together. Think about the time I would free up and the things I could accomplish. But nope, I'm not gonna quite, I love MK, and the game itself. I'll be around azeroth for a while to come. I just think that it will slow down next week, maybe, then I can get a few quality hours into my crack, I mean warcraft,lol.

I'm gonna go on that note, have a good day, I'll see you round the web.

Peach paint...not as good on a wall as it is in the bottle...

Painting isn't as much fun as Huckleberry Fin says it is!
Yeah, had a busy weekend here,but when busy is done with friends, that is awesome! Sarah and I spent the day saturday painting our bedroom and ahllway with Matt and Levi. The bedroom had wal-paper, and I didn't want to remove it, so I talked to the guy at the paint store here in town, then followed his advice and bought the paint at wal-mart. Kills is good strong stuff. Our bedroom is now not tan with baseball stuff all over it anymore, it's more of a salmon color. The hall is now a nice and bright white. the only other painting I need to do is the upstairs office. I am going to do the slants in the wall, and then try to replace a few patches of the border that were torn before I moved in. Other then that we are wel on the way to getting the house ready to sell. We need to shuffles some stuff to other places to get it ready, but it's hapening. I'm gonna call the lady at help-u-sell today and set up when she can take the pictures. So, soon I hope. The paint was so strong that we had to stay at sarah's parents saturday night.

In other news we had to put everything back into teh room sunday after church, but that was ok, becuase it was followed by watching movies and eating with friends all day. We watched Donny Darko, a very good movie. Not for kids though, as they use some pretty colorful language in it. The movie was shot so well, and the intricate details only come out after the 2nd or 3rd time through. I've seen it 4 times and wow, it still gets better, and I still see more that i didn't see before. I recomend it to anyone wanting to see a good movie. Then we watched blade runner. Mattside, trevor and Tim had never seen it! It had been a long time sinse I had seen it, so I was ready to view that one again. I was so amazed to figure out that Eward James Olmos of Battlestar fame was in it in his youthier days! After that everyone either went up stairs to watch top design(s4m and Mattside) or went home. But that was ok, it was getting late by that point and all was well with the world. Sarah and Al made burgers for us all at some point in there, not just regular burgers, but shake-n-bake,A-1 flavored burgers mmmmmm. They were tasty. I watched Brewsters Millions with Levi after everyone else left, then I went to bed. A very very good sunday.

It's Friday It's Friday!

I'm so glad Friday is here. It's been a slow, but busy week. I'll get through the weekend, even though it envolves mass amounts of painting, packing, and general business. Who know's Gozz still make 70 this weekend, I guess it depends if I get much done early on! We'll see. Anyway, I found Thibor(rick)'s blog and am glad to say that guy can write a loooooong blog, but it is quality! So, I'm curious, any other gamers out there that blog about their accomplishments, finds, and general knowledge> any MK'ers? if you aren't in MK you wouldn't know what that is, so move on and you will be ok, don't try to wrap your brain around the wonders that are involved in being MK. Anyway, I'm gonna leave, go get a bite to eat, and check my toons, then start painting, It's gonna be a good one, but probably a long one kids!
Till next time, have fun in Azeroth boi's and girls!

Will it sell???

OK, we are selling our house. SCARY. We think it will sell fast, but we don't know. We have been trying to wrap our brains around three or four options as to what to do if it sells fast, but we want it to sell fast. So, yeah, we have no clue. The down side of selling a house is the prep work you have to do to get it ready. So, I will be spending the next few days painting some rooms, cleaning some stuff, removing a ton of personal things, and preparing for the worlds largest garage sale of my life, if not of all time. We are packrats. If you don't believe me, come over and find out! We are selling so much stuff, so much GOOD stuff even! NOT JUST JUNK!!!

On another note, I want to tell everyone that I am currently going to be copying some posts back and forth from here and my xanga site. I want to include my xanga peeps, so we will see what happens. I have my xanga site linked in my "best of the web" sidebar. You should all go check out some of my fun-filled links and let me know what you think, or leave me a comment about places I should include. Eventually I want to start leaving pic's of things in my posts, but I'm not there yet, so bear iwth me while I send out these text rich posts!

Until later, I'll be here!

10 bubbles to Go!

Wow, I'm psyched! I have 10 bubbles of experience to go to get to lvl 70! Gozz has been at this a while now, I started playing wow about a year and a half ago. He hit lvl 60 about 4 hours before burning crusade came out, so I'm new at this end game stuff,lol. I can't wait to hit lvl 70 and start all my rep grinding, gear grinding, and PVP! I've been so excited about high lvl pvp! I know I'm gonna get owned so bad at first, but watch out, this hunter is ready to roar! If you think I'm just the slowest gamer ever, and I should have been there faster, sorry I also have MCD(Multiple-Character-Disorder) have a 37 troll oriest, a 26 blood elf pally, a lvl 19 Tauren warrior(a sad attempt at a twink), a 19 troll Hunter(a much better twink), a lvl 15 Tauren druid(that will get more lovin after gozz gets 70), and my richest character, a lvl 3 troll shaman named threepeo(bank alt). Next will be a mage thrown in there somewhere...Like I said, MCD.
