Camping

I final got the pictures.
here they are.

The mobs question (teaser)

remember this?

well I have chosen to give out a teaser. I now have four ideas of which I plan on giving to the mob.

Now this is very rough and just an IDEA but something that I think our church should do is:

Set up a mentoring program where ONE guy meets from each age group. (50+) (35-50) (20-35) (16-20) and have a MOB style of bible study. (kinda like this idea)

This would of been GREAT for me, and I think there is ton of potential, but the key is that you can't force people into it. I do not know if it would work for women and girls.

But there is my teaser, I will try to post my others Sunday.

shurg

this made me laugh.
a lot.

but if you don't follow football close then you will probably not get it.
but do try.

Border Patrol

So here is a mini-espoides show that I find funny as heck,

its called Border Patrol and you can find it atom.com

Football

I am so excited for college football to start.

Its starting to look like a great year.

That is all.

Here we go again

This weeks question for the MOB was what is three things that you think will make Church better.

And after my headache* wore off, I got to thinking and I found my three. I will try to post them Sunday.

* Something that I got from my dad is migraines. I get about one or two a year and they hurt like crazy, the only thing that you can do is sleep it off. Well yesterday I got one and went to bed right away, sadly I could not sleep it off. Finally after about 20 hours it wore off.
It was the worst headache I have ever had.

Because I know your wondering...

Yesterday I took a trip up to Seattle with a special person. And yes in case you didn't know we are dating. (shows how much in the loop you are)

It all started at 5 in the morning when my dad woke me up and informed me that he was really really sorry but he needed to take the truck.

So the bad news was that we were going to take the thunder-mobile.

So after being able to go back to sleep, I killed time till it was time to pick up Lauree.

Off I went, first stop, flowers.
Next her place.
Then off we went, on the highway of death.
We made it up to Bremerton all ok but couldn't really find any parking. The bad news was that we missed the ferry. But it all worked out ok as we got to walk around the dock and saw a sub.
After reaching Seattle we headed off to Pikes Place, after circling around it we made it. We ate at this really cool Italian place who had a awesome cook/waiter. And also the best lemonade I have ever had.
After that we went to the new Seattle library. If you have not been there I suggest you go, it was really cool.
Then we went to Pioneer square, where after grabbing some coffee, we sat and had a great time. One of the things we did was pick a random person and try to guess what they did for a living and what was one thing they liked doing.
After that we grabbed some fresh raspberry and headed home.

All and all it was a great day and I tons of fun, but something that I came away with is how much I love Seattle. Every time I go back I remember that fact.

Well

Well I havn't been posting much because I have been really really busy.

I will try to start up again tomorrow

So...

I was driving in today and really just remembered how lucky I am.
I have a great family.
Awesome friends
etc etc etc...

An optimist stays up to see the New Year in. A pessimist waits to make sure the old one leaves.

FYI

I now have a facebook,

Its WAY better then stupid myspace.

College

So heres a really quick post,
i got my schedule for next quarter,
psychology (and the human adaptions)
philosophy (and the theory or ideas)
and AUTOCAD,

I got to talk to the head guy for engineering and well he laughed when i asked if i should get a mac or dell. he said if Microsoft and a dell.
so that settled the debate. Its going to be a dell.

And I think my dads going to pick it up in japan, that way there is no tax and its cheaper.

Thanks to all who gave imput.
and besides Apples not looking to hot right now...

who knows why...

to share,

- . - . 1914 to - . - . 1915 - Lt Colonel A.J Foster

Led the battalion into battle at Ypres during April 1915. However, he fell ill during July 1915 and returned to England to convalesce.

Appointed Deputy Assistant Director at the Ministry of Munitions 16th Sep 1915.

(his title sounds like mine, appointed assistant to the assistant project manger at CCI solutions) and the guy looks a little like Hitler)

Plus there was aj foster in the civil war, he fought for the south and died after making captain.

Capital Punishment Part I

Yesterday the mob met (missing Nate L and S and Kyle)

And our topic was about Capital Punishment, is it right or wrong.

Before I had never made up my mind, but now I have.

And I believe that Capital Punishment is wrong.

I believe that if God wants you dead then your going to die.

Now some people argue that God can use people to kill people.

And heres my take on that, How do you know? People are full of sin and can’t that affect their judgment? Why would God want someone to kill someone else? From what I have seen is Jesus is ALL about forgiveness. Can you really kill someone and forgive them too?

For example in the old testament God opened up the ground to kill people, the Holy Spirit whacked some couple who lied about money.

You can’t hide from God. I’m proof of that.

Even God didn’t kill Cain…

So heres my quick take on it.

What right do we (as sinful humans) to send people to hell forever and ever? Because isn’t that what your doing when your killing an unsaved person?

I plan on posting a part II later tonight, with my notes and verses that back me up.

(By the way the MOB was split on this Adam and Drew for and Jw and I against.)

Flowers

So this post is all about flowers.

I guess you can say I’m back in the flower buying/giving game. And little did I know that this game has rules. For example go here.

Which got me thinking who why did they got to choose these meanings?

For example lets take the dandelion, it looks like a flower (I know it’s a weed but still it looks like a flower), who got to decide it was a weed in the first place?

Well if I was in charge of what flowers meant this is how it would work.
1. We would take apart the word. Lets break it into two words, Dandy-Lion.
2. Dandy means: something or someone of exceptional or first-rate quality.
3. And lion: (as an adjective) a person of great importance, influence, charm, etc., who is much admired as a celebrity
4. So if we put them together we get: A first rate person of great importance.

I like it. (and this does NOT mean that I will give some dandelions)

p.s. I guess giving a dandelion means: Wishes come true. (how lame is that?)


With this whole flower thing I envision something like the N.W.A (hot fuzz anyone?), a creepy secret society of old people who rule the flower industry who let nothing or anyone stand in their way.

Goodbye

Goodbye Sonics,

I never really knew you, but you did bring the only championship to Seattle.


At least College Football starts up soon.

I really have my figners crossed for this guy.

I hope that we can reach .500 this year.

Go Dawgs!

Just Because I Can

This is my favorite pic of Honduras. I really liked it how the PIT made us all better friends.
This picture is possibly my favorite one that I have ever taken and part of that has to deal with the memories involved. The day I took this picture was the day I decided not to hunt anymore.

This is my favorite picture from the rotc time, These two people were really my best friends in the unit.

This is from last years kids alive and every time I see it I always remember the great times I had.
This is hands down my favorite pic of my sister and I. I just wished she would of posed.


Maybe I will do a part II, but till then you check out my album here.

Today

Today is the first day in maybe two to three weeks in which I don't have any plans for today.
It's kinda weird. But also kinda relaxing too.

Tomorrow I'm off and running again.
