Well, after a spent an unspecified amount of money so that I could have my custom background on this blog, I decided to check into some other things. First off, uhh…if you care to know the reasons, you can check out my my new blog at…

It was good knowing you Old Blog.

By the way, the Bus Route pictures will probably stay here for awhile.

Hearers of the Exodus

Jbomb — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 15:00:24 +0000

I was contemplating what messages I was going to write this week to turn in when these three sermon ideas hit me:

Hearers of the Exodus

1. Moses the “Doer”

2. Pharoah the “Denier”

3. The Children of Israel the “Delayers”

I had the basic outline in my head on Monday. When I got into my car, I heard a preacher saying something about the things Moses had to worry about. When I sat down to write the message, I quickly found out that there were three distinct sermons there, all relating to the same topic. It’s too bad I can’t preach them until who knows when though. No doubt, if I studied it out more, at least Pharoah and Moses could be more than one sermon each.

Great Preachers

I was talking to Bro. Valdez and Johnny Shaver after church tonight, actually last night since it is 12:28 a.m. on Monday. Bro. Valdez asked me what classes I was taking in summer school and that was when it hit me what two classes I was taking…Great Preachers and Minor Prophets. I think more people have heard what the Minor Prophets have said than what any Great Preacher may have said though. Anyways, for the second week of school Johnny and I had to turn in two 10 page reports for Great Preachers class. After that, one ten page report a week seems completely doable. Until next time…

If you can’t stand the heat…

…stay out of the kitchen! Some of us should stay out anyway. I tried my hand at making some chicken alfredo. It wasn’t a total disaster, however if you looked at the kitchen afterwards it might have looked like it. First, I battered and fried the chicken. Next I boiled the noodles. Lastly, I tried making the sauce. Too much pepper, not enough parmesean. Mom liked it, no one else said anything else about it. Oh yeah, the whole meal cost less than 15 bucks, and there is plenty more for another meal or maybe even two. Needless to say, I won’t be starting a culinary school anytime soon, as if there aren’t enough of those around anyways.

Musing…

Sitting on lunch break by myself (that is, no Christian co-workers on break), I realized that the conversation around me was quite disturbing. People were blurting out four letter words about every five seconds or more frequently than that. Then these thoughts came to my mind (realize, I didn’t have a concordance to look up the verses I was looking for at the time):

1. As little as 15 years ago, when people would say, “Oh my G–!” They would normally notice that there was a Christian present and profusely apologize.

2. People still do apologize to me when they some of those “more vile” for letter words.

The point being made is this…

Morality somewhere along the way in the last 15 years or so (an age that I can notice, not what someone has told me) has slipped away. Some principles in the Bible come to mind even though the exact verses don’t. Without the law, people don’t realize wrong. When the law is there they realize it. Whose fault is it that people don’t even realize it when they take God’s name in vain? Not being a big advocate of lifestyle evangelism alone, has your testimony proven anything otherwise? Eh…you didn’t have to read this, I just thought about the sad situation my workplace is in, and thought about whose fault it really is.

SPRING BREAK!!!

Jbomb — Mon, 16 Mar 2009 18:36:06 +0000

I didn’t know if I would make it to spring break, but its here. As a rule, I always have goals for spring break, and the second rule is that I never reach my goals. So, maybe sharing some of these will help me accomplish one or two of them:

1. Get some sleep (did that this morning)

2. Adjust my back brakes and possibly replace adjuster.

3. Do my Spanish II report.

4. Work on Video Presentation for Missions Class.

5. Work on Problems of the Field II book report.

That’s it. Already got some sleep and sent out some e-mails for my report. Posting on my blog wasn’t exactly a goal, but I did it anyways.

The Southern Cross

Jbomb — Tue, 13 Jan 2009 22:01:38 +0000

While visiting in Lima (I know the stories have to be getting old to you all) my girlfriend and I stepped outside and glanced up when be both noticed a very bright star. Neither one of us knowing very much about astronomy, we debated whether it was a star, or a planet. After a few minutes of debating, on which it was, we asked her mom. She told us that it was “The Southern Cross.” I came to find out that it is only viewable below latitude 30 in the Northern Hemisphere. I was kind of bummed to find out that I couldn’t see it from here. Anyways, the Southern Cross is actually a constellation, not an individual star. Better yet, the brightest “star” in the Southern Cross, Acrux, is actually not a star…It is two stars that orbit each other too closely to be distinguished. I thought that was interesting. I guess it could be awhile before I see it again.

One good thing

Jbomb — Sun, 11 Jan 2009 01:38:14 +0000

Your President Elect (Barak Obama) has done one good thing so far. No joke. He did something good.

“If you’ve got a bunch of teams who play throughout the season, and many of them have one loss or two losses, there’s no clear decisive winner,” he told Steve Kroft. “We should be creating a playoff system.”

He even got into specifics: “Eight teams. That would be three rounds to determine a national champion. It would add three extra weeks to the season. You could trim back on the regular season. I don’t know any serious fan of college football who has disagreed with me on this. So, I’m going to throw my weight around a little bit. I think it’s the right thing to do.”

Caleb and I had that exact conversation before I left for my great vacation in Peru, all the way down to the number of weeks and amount of time it would take. Oh well. Check it out!

Thanks To Technology

Using an online flower delivery, I was able to send some beautiful flowers to my even more beautiful girlfriend. As I expected, she flattered them completely. I hope she doesn’t mind my sharing a picture.

Live Writer

Jbomb — Mon, 05 Jan 2009 18:06:35 +0000

This is my first blog update using Windows Live Writer, so I am not exactly sure how I like it yet. However, if it makes adding photos to my blog, I will continue to use it. If anybody has tried Windows Live Writer before and has something that they would consider valuable information, I would appreciate it.

Ok, after experimenting a tad, I think I like this Live Writer, about the only thing I haven’t tried doing yet is adding a video.

By the way, the background picture was taken in Larcomar, a beautiful place, but doesn’t even compare to how beautiful my girlfriend is.
