The Liberty Spirit Rock Series Begins

I have not really talk about Liberty besides rants about the people. I am going to try and start a series that will show the Liberty Spirit Rock. A little info on the rock. It is a rock near nothing that is painted over a couple times a week. I did not get a picture when it was first done but the here is when people added a couple of things. I hope that I will remember to grab a picture or 2 when I get a chance. As you can see they had painted to remember the mother land but some added the "V" from V for Vendetta. The other picture is where the spirit rock is located.

I do not know what to say.

I have decided to write something but I do not have a clue and to keep my blog free of rants b/c they really do not do any good and do not edify the church. I could off on speeders and cheatin' cheaters. I did come across a new word, Zweiohrküken. It is German for chick with 2 ears. I am pretty sure that means nothing to anyone but again I do not know what I want to blog about. I guess I could talk a little about my trip to N.C. to visit some friends that I meet in England or the meat and cheese gyro that a group of friends decided to give a friend that was getting married. I guess I could talk about how funny it is when Facebook changes something because everyone get mad and changes their status and also create groups to get Facebook to go back. They never got the change they wanted.

So I am going to leave with a picture of a part of the Liberty Campus.

Studying, Studying, and Super Chicken.

So I am doing a little bit of studying every once-in-a-while. It it has been fun sometimes but most of the time it has been a little drag. The biggest problem is that I spent quite a bit of time alone and we all know that it is not good for man to left alone. The verse is in the context of marriage but it is a good principle that everyone should live by. I have meet some people but nothing has develop but I am getting to know one person who is in a couple of my classes. Thursday I get an oppertunity to meet with some other off-campus students in a prayer group. This will allow me to get to know a couple of more people like 8 girls and 2 guys (I am only saying).

My classes have been full useful information that allows me a better historical grammatical hermeneutics for better understand what was original intended instead of the interpretation based on what the English is saying. It is kind of amazing to understand how to apply the Bible to your life when one understand why an author wrote the letter.

FYI -- Gideon is also known as Super Chicken according to my O.T. Survey Teacher.

Wow! A second post in one day.

So it is not a record but I want to express something that I has been bugging me. I was reading on a post to pray for a twenty-something that is, I would guess, deathly ill because the person stated that she was to young to die. The more I thought of what was said the more I started to bug. I started to think about was the person really to young to die. Is it even possible to die to young? I do not think that it is possible to die to young because God has control and not me. If God was not a kind God (like he is), he has all the rights to destroy us and think twice about it because of our sins. It is God who gives and who takes away and also God who allows us to live on his earth. So if God desires us not leave past a certain point then he will takes from this earth. I know that people might have a problem with this but I like that logical it is how it stands. Now, I have not searched the Bible to make sure I am right but I know some verse that could prove my claim but I need to make sure that in context that they are right.

I do want to stress that I do feel sorrow and that it is a bad thing when it happens but God is in control and I can rest in that assurance that not matter what happens he is there.

Husker Football

So I was taking a break for the study thing and went to do the facebook thing and find myself watching the 300th sellout of a Nebraska Football. Now some readers of this blog might not understand the why this is sufficient. I do not know either but I was watching it. At one time, just like disc golf, I was completely focus of Husker Football every Fall. I was so focus, I would not go to my high school games. I also worked at a place that got season tickets and we would get to choose what game we wanted to go to. So I am been to my share of football game. In fact, I have been to more NU games then Iowa State football which includes the ISU/NU football game in Ames. I have seen Nebraska play in 3 different venues live where all but one game not paying for a ticket (I had to pay for the ISU football season tickets therefore paid for the ISU/NU football games). So Husker football is kind of a big deal. I made a joke I should have but Husker Football as my religion when I went to college. So much dedication to a team and I would drop everything to attend or watch a game. I hardly missed a Nebraska football game unless I could not watch it on TV.

This does not even began to show the dedication that I would give to Husker football. Will reading the daily Grace Gem, they sent me a quote from Spurgeon. It is the post before this one (Oct. 5th). Again, that quote was about reading books beside the Bible but you can also see how that the desire is not to follow Christ even if the reading. I think that it is fine to be a fan of football and I will like to go to another game but my desire would be that I desire to be committed to God and glorify him.

A Head Full of Froth

This is a Grace Gem that I received a couple of days ago. You can get great quote like this at gracegems.org. This is a quote from C. H. Spurgeon as it appears in the Grace Gem E-mail.

"Many of you know more about your magazines and novels--than what God has written! Many of you will read a novel from the beginning to the end, and what have you got? A head full of froth when you are done! But you cannot read the Bible--that solid, lasting, substantial, and satisfying food goes uneaten, locked up in the cupboard of neglect--while anything that man writes, a best-seller of the day--you greedily devour!"

It makes you think a little about what we choose to read. Does the book you read have the same impacful information like the Bible? Even books that contain Biblical information do not come close to what the Bible brings to the table.

She Roller Her Eyes at Me.

The point of this blog is not about a girl that rolled her eyes at me when I ordered 2 shots of espresso. That is it. I ordered 2 plain shoot (so w/o milk or foam or anything else) ans she thought I was weird. She needs to learn the fine art of espresso. Okay she does not but she should realize that some of us like dark bold coffee.

So this post is really about nothing like most of my other posts. It is more of an update than anything else. So here it is:

No girlfriend,
have a witness partner,
mad at the VA b/c they have not paid me yet.

I think that covers everything. Actually, I have been really excited about have someone to go witnessing with me. I would like more people or even a team but 1 other person is enough. That was a big blessing that I was able to meet someone else to go a preach the word of God to a die people group called America. I have been upset about a speaker I heard here at Liberty that suggested that the only true missions were missions over see to unreached people group. I want to inform him that America needs more witnessing done in it then any other country. The reason is that the American Church is bigger than it ever has been but yet it give the less then 20 years ago. See the problem. We have more so-called "Christian" in America but we do not give more money to mission work. I want everyone to know that we need to stand up and grab a back bone and PREACH the gospel or at least support people who preach the gospel. The more and more I think about it, the more and more I see the need to get out and preach. There are people that will die and not have a chance for eternal life because they were not witnessed to. There are people in American that need the gospel now.

All I really want is the church to focus on spreading the gospel with words to lost people, rich and poor. Lets stop this action only gospel thing and preach Christ Crucify.

Also, I have been trying to realize that I do not need to do something big in my life but all God requires is that I am faithful where I am at.
