God is still good.

Everyone knows the prodigal son story, and most would agree that the story shows God to be forgiving to those who come back to him. I refuse to call my self a prodigal son, even though u could draw many similaritys. The difference is that our father is not an earthly father. He does not have to stand by and wait for our return. God continues to follow u and bless u all the days of your life, wither u turn away or stand in awe. Just because you are turned away and can't see the sun rise does not mean it remains night. A very wise man told me recently that God has only ever done good to me constantly. Looking back it'd be easy for me to think differently, but then again, if u know just a hint about who God is....its easy to see. God is good to me each and everyday of my life.

is God in black holes?

so i been thinking and what i think is that God is in black holes. here is why. the theory of general relativity explains our world just fine, but even Einstein knew that if nature ever where to form a black hole his theory would brake down. and if u try to use it to explain a black hole it does not work. the theory of quantum mechanics explains the universe at the atomic level. yet alone it also falls short of explaining the black hole. it is believed that the two theories would have to married together to explain a black hole. but when they try and do this the answer that comes from it is to them, total nonsense. basically its infinity+infinity+infinity+infinity+ out to infinity. LOL. sounds like a good answer to me. i have thought for a long time that if black holes are really out there they must be windows or doorways to God and heaven. time stands still, and all of the huge mass of the black hole all focuses down to one point of singularity. something so small and yet infinite that science does not even know how to explain it. to me, it screams of God. also, science believes that the universe began from a big bang that came from one of these singularities. possible i suppose, if God is the source at the center of a black hole it begins to really make sense.... hmmm... just a thought

todays thought

today's thought is not so much about God as it is about people. people are so good at messin up what God has so freely givin us. the bible, see it tells us all these wonderful stories and detailed instructions on how to live out our lives with one another. yet people just cant do it. i know i cant!! but there is no shortage of those who "think" they can. now there in lays the rub, because i don't think God ever meant for us to be able to live life to the letter of his word (only maybe to shoot for it), but if that is true then why are there so many "strong, or mature Christians" willing to point the finger at others as the so called "lost" when they them selves are in a mess of sin, and self deception. and if these Christians so called are yet off the mark..... is there any hope for u and me? i think so, and may God help us to find it.

4th

so i tried to send a fourth of July post from my phone after i had set up mobile blogging and if u saw the post u know it did not work. i took it down because it was all jumbled nonsense. the just of the post was how we need to remember our root's. i know that like most other holidays the fourth has become more about the parties, the fireworks, and bbq's then it is about the day it's self and what it really stands for. i happen to love the United States of America. i love our history of great men fighting for freedom, and fighting against all that is wrong in world. i hate the idea that we might be the generation that is remembered for losing what so many men died for. we have already turned so far from their ideals. i believe we can take our country back and hand down to our children what was given to us, but only by the grace of God.

a poem for the times

this is not the post i am working on, but thought this poem was worth sharing...

Do not go gentle into that good night.

Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

not for sale

not for sale is a book by David Batstone. here is a brief run down of the book. "Award-winning journalist David Batstone reveals the story of a new generation of 21st century abolitionists and their heroic campaign to put an end to human bondage. In his accessible and inspiring book, Batstone carefully weaves the narratives of activists and those in bondage in a way that not only raises awareness of the modern-day slave trade, but also serves as a call to action." (provided by Christian audio). i highly recommend you listen to this book. though i must warn that it is not for those who are easily upset. i spend the last two days listening to it and though it has been very hard to hear (there is very graphic depictions of the acts committed to children and women as well as grown men) i have learned so much about a topic i have never even thought about. it has changed the way i think about prostitution and the sex business in general.
you can download the entire book for free this month only at christian audio just click this link to go right to the page. enter FEB2009 as when it asks for your promotion code.
be warned! this is not a fun read. you will learn a lot about very very disturbing facts and personal testimony of the modern day slave trade.
