A long awaited update

Sorry to keep you waiting so long, my loyal not so fans. I have been very very busy. You see, I got adicted to this new toy, called FaceBook... end of story there.

But the adiction is being beat (I hope). This last Saturday I went to the Christion skate night at SkateCity here in the Springs. It was cool. Me and several friends. They played Reality, Shine, Entertaining Angels (Newsboys), Jesus Freak, Into Jesus (DC Talk), Amazing Grace (Chris Tomlin), and lots of other good music. They could have left some of the songs out, but it was fun!

I also discovered that I have been volentiered to go to a recording Studio this comming sunday! Gasp! only a weak away! (Less now). I will be playing with people I have played ARROUND with before, but never really got down and learned anything real well together. Now we are having to work on it and arrange it all at the same time! It is fun, way fun. We had our first practice on Sunday, and our second is suposed to be tomarow. We have to hit it hard, and heavy, and just go in knowing that this isn't for an album, it is for fun. We will hopefully come away with two or three songs recorded. I don't expect them to be cd quality, not in the time we had to pull together, and not with some of our level of ability.

I'm SOOOOOO excited! I can hardly wait! What we were coming up with Sunday night was exceptional for the fact that most everybody is very very amature. The vocals are really good. I'm pumped! Ready to go all out with it!.

If I get good recordings, I'll post samples of them.

Another very exciting thing that began on Sunday was a film idea. A concept. A group is beginning to form here. Sorry, top secret, can't share much more! :wink:

Well, I hope this little update is interesting, will talk later!

Creation

The topic of the orgin of mankind came up recently on a web forum. I want to field comments from anybody about whatever it is they believe on this subject. To fuel discussion. I don't want anybody to be put down, but want discussion to be open. Disagreeing with someone is not putting them down. Making fun of them is.

I'll start by saying what I believe.

I believe in special creation, ex nehilo, IE out of nothing. This isn't to odd, since the "big bang" also suposedly happened "out of nothing". This special creation took place arround 6 to 10 thousand years ago, and was performed by God in six days. He made two people, Adam, and Eve, and we all are desendents of them.

Why do I believe such a far fetched sounding idea? BEcause I have met God, and believe what He tells me is true. He never lies. And He was there to see it happen.

I also believe the a majority of scientific information, when viewed properly, ligns up with my belief, please see the link to Answers in Genesis in my favorite links.

Well! I hope everybody has lots of fun. This could be big!

Made a goofy movie today...

Well... it was sort of just crazy, especialy cince ther is no consumed, but I really wanted to do something with the moving visual media, and help a young friend out with his ambitions.

So, we made like we were a band, and did like we were doing a podcast, or something like that. A goofy documentary into a portion of our lives. I might think about putting it up for all to see.

Then there's facebook... takes a lot of time, and is real adictive.

And then there's apathy,
chasing me like a beast,
All out to devour me
striving for a feast

Ok, my poetry isn't all that great, but it was quick.

Casting Crowns concert

I went to my very first concert last night. It was so cool. John Waller, Leland, and Casting Crowns. A lot of good material. Thought provoking. Casting Crowns has a good message.

Things that realy stuck out to me are what happens between "The Alter and the Door"? Yeah, I can have lots of zeal when I go to great talks, and studies, and can get realy excited, but I can loose that zeal. And Slow Fade. People never crumble in a day. Am I fading, do I slip? Of course I do. AM I in a state of apathy right now? A little bit I am. And then they played East to West. So awsome!

AT the end of the concert, all of the Casting Crowns band memeber prayed for the croud. Families, fathers, mothers, young men and wimen, youth workers... it was awsome! My eyes got wet, and All I could do was agree with them in prayer, thinking about all the people, and myself, who these prayers were for. Family memebrs of mine, and friends, I lifted them up with the band, even though they weren't at the concert. And that God would bless this band, and keep them going strong for Him.

If you ever have the chance to go to a Casting Crowns concert, go, ready to praise and worship God, and ready to learn something.
