The World We Live In...

On Sunday I was watching the Simpsons. This clip got me thinking about the advertising world we live in.

What do you think?

"The Barbarian Way" by Erwin Raphael McManus

I am reading this book right now. I am half way though it. It is really making me think about this whole this called Christianity and what we have done to it. 

This is what the back of the book says: "...a call to revolution against 'civilized' Christianity." - Marketplace

"Two thousand years later the call to follow Christ has been repackaged to be smooth and trouble-free, filled with opportunity and promise but lacking risk, passion, and sacrifice. Is this really what Jesus died for? If He chose the way of the cross, where would He hesitate leading us? Is it possible that to follow Jesus is to choose the barbarian way?

Jesus never made a pristine call to a proper or safe religion. Jesus beckons His followers to a path that is far from the easy road. It is a path filled with adventure, uncertainty, and unlimited possibilities - the only path that can fulfill the deepest longings and desires of your heart.

This is the barbarian way: to give your heart to the only One who can make you fully alive. To love Him with simplicity and intensity. To unleash the untamed faith within. To be consumed by the presence of a passionate and compassionate God. To go where He sends you, no matter the cost."

 Lynne Spears Book Due In Fall

Lynne Spears book about motherhood is set to hit stores in September.  Judging from the title, “Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World”, it seems like Lynn will have a lot to say about Brit’s troubles as well as Spears’ 16-year-old sister Jamie Lynn who is pregnant.  The book was scheduled to drop last year but was delayed after a series of family blow-ups. (http://www.muchmusic.com/news/story.asp?id=21078)

I get daily emails from Much Music this one I got on Friday. Thought you might like to hear about the book.

I wonder what the book will be like. Maybe I will read it!

Father's day

This year's father's day is going to be one to be remembered for ever. On Friday night I was talking with Melissa and Kelly. They asked me what I was doing for father's day. I said I was going to play golf with my dad and brother as long as my brother did not hurt himself. Last year he messed up his shoulder.

 

This year on the Saturday he was playing soccer we his friends. And He broke his ankle. Here is a picture of an ankle it is not his. The bone that is sitting on top of the foot bone is called the Tibia (shinbone) that bone moved right off of the foot bone and need to be put back in place. 

On Sunday at 11:30 am he went in to get a plate and screw put in. The put the screw in to hold the Tibia to the Fibula (leg bone). 

I got to the hospital at about 9:40 am. Here are some pictures of him just laying around...

That is one big cast.

Here are some pictures before the surgery...

Here are some after the surgery...

Under this picture needs to be the words "LET ME OUT OF HERE" 

A much smaller cast!

I sent my father's day in a hospital. We did leave during the one and half hour surgery. To leave to have some lunch at Swiss. 

The best part was when he found out he need to slept the night there. He was like no way I am getting out of here. Matt get me a wheelchair and get me home. 

He did end up sleeping there. I went by today at 11:45 and he was already out. One of the guys in the room told me. I said did they let him out or did he leave on his own. He said he wanted out. 

Now he will spend the next 5 weeks justing laying around the house. I do not know how he is going to do it. 

Next year I am going to tell him on the saturday of father's day weekend. He must spent the whole day in the house just laying around so he does not hurt him self so we can play this game of golf!

Supernatural

"Supernatural is an American cult dramatic television series regarding the paranormal. The series, which is filmed in Vancouver, Canada, debuted on September 13, 2005 on the WB, and is now part of The CW's lineup. The second season premiered on September 28, 2006, and the third season premiered on October 4, 2007. Supernatural returned on April 24, 2008[1] after the writers strike. On March 3, 2008, the CW announced the pickup of the show for a fourth season.[2]

Premise

The show follows brothers Sam Winchester and Dean Winchester, played by Jared Padalecki and Jensen Ackles respectively, who travel across the country in a black 1967 Chevy Impala investigating and combating paranormal events and other unexplained occurrences, many of them based on American urban legends and folklore, as well as classic supernatural creatures such as vampires, werewolves, and ghosts. Eric Kripke, the show's creator, cites Neil Gaiman's The Sandman and American Gods as influences on Supernatural, along with American Werewolf in London and Joseph Campbell's The Hero's Journey.

Plot

The plot of the show has evolved over time, beginning initially with Sam and Dean looking for their father. Once they find him, however, the show becomes about killing Azazel, the demon responsible for the death of their mother. This is accomplished, but not until after Azazel's plans are completed and a door to Hell is opened momentarily, releasing a horde of demons into the world. This event also sees the death of Sam, who is subsequently resurrected by Dean selling his soul at the end of the second season. In season three, the plot of the show focuses on trying to save Dean from his deal. Along the way, they meet a demon named Ruby, who has an interest in Sam and claims to be able to help save Dean, as well as Bela Talbot, an "acquirer" and seller of occult objects who is constantly a thorn in their side. The brothers eventually manage to track down the demon who holds the contract, a powerhouse named Lilith who wants Sam dead. However, they ultimately fail to save Dean, who, as of the end of the third season, is in Hell." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernatural_(TV_series))

I have not watched this show. I have seen previews for it. One I saw yesterday really got me thinking. It is from season 3 the title of the show is sin city. Here is the tv trailer.

Did you see the words "first comes temptation then comes sin" 

We see this in the book of Genesis 4:7 it says: "Sin is crouching at the door, eager to control you. But you must subdue it and be its master." (NLT) 

This is God speaking to Cain. He was speaking about him killing this brother.

The temptation was there he was told to master it not to give in to it.

So first comes temptation and if we give in then comes sin.
