campfire anthems

i’m delighted to see that you made your way to my new home. i hope it wasn’t too difficult for you. leave me a comment so that i know you made it ok.

begin tangent:: so yesterday i wrote about bob ross and could not believe the response i got on it. it was just about as high as my video for “fat camp.” i’m kind of at a loss for words because i didn’t realize he was such an admirable figure. i kind of always just thought i was the only one that watched him growing up. glad to see i’m not alone. ::end tangent

i’m really excited about this new site. it has some really cool features that the old one didn’t. for instance, check out the “music in my head” tab towards the top of the page. here, you can listen to an interactive music play i created and see what i’ve been listening to lately. pretty cool huh? well anyways, i’m going to go eat lunch now. too bad its not wingsday!

thats the titles of today’s devotion. frog. its a concept that most christians would not find outlandish, but i dare say that most either forget to do that or just don’t have the faith to do it. i see a lot of people that will say, “god, help me with my kids…but i can handle my finances.” “god, let things work out in my just but i can do my marriage on my own.” it also talks about how, instead of going to god, we more often than not seek counsel in our mortal friends (who just like us screw up a lot, don’t know everything, aren’t divine, and so on) because they have been in similar situations.

i think as humans we have a hard time grasping the concept that god can help us in whatever situation we are in because he is this divinity that lives in the cosmos. how can god understand what we are going through. thats the beauty of jesus. fully god…fully human, jesus went through the same things we do. ok enough rambling. i haven’t even told you the scripture yet. it was 2 chronicles 16:7-9, i guess i got a little ahead of myself this morning. i think a striking verse within today’s message was that “not relying on god will result in one round of war after another.” i don’t know about you but war isn’t the way i want to surround my life. sure, its easy to say that you have undying faith and can give god control over every single situation that comes up in life - but to live it truly remarkable. i guess any of us can talk the talk.
