This is a writing I felt the need to repost, Initially written at the beginning of 2010 it still rings true, and will forever more. I’ll resist my current urge to expound upon the importance of consistent intimacy with God. Nonetheless, despite our ability to initiate intimacy he actually made the first move while we were yet sinners Christ died (Romans 5:8). Once you understand the ferociousness of such a love, the thought of being forsaken is the silliest notion one can conceive. However we must fight to abide in this love. Read more »
Here on the eve of the S.C. Primary I’m still torn juggling electability, political philosophies, voting records and a host of other considerations for the current candidates.
So right off the top, Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich just scare me. Mitt Romney has flip flopped so much he um…just kinda comes off unstable to me, however if I was forced to vote for him I will. The same for Gingrich with the unstable thing and even more his personal life is also um… unstable (and I’m being nice)? I believe in forgiveness but I also believe in integrity, hence someone who has serious commitment issues in there private life, it will affect their public life eventually, there is a core character malfunction there. So that leaves me with two candidates to choose from Rick Santorum and Ron Paul. For the past two weeks I have read through both candidates personal lives and public voting records, impressed in some places disgusted in others. I’ll just skim the surface with my explanations here. Read more »
So I set out to chisel my photoshop skills and chose thistutorial of an audio receiver. However I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. I though the receiver was pre-designed, I didn’t know everything was gonna be done from scratch. I’ve never used so many layers in photoshop before (91 LAYERS!!! TO BE EXACT). I’m sure some experts use well over that but that’s a first for me. Nonetheless it was a great experience and I can use it to advertise for my great friends. If you want to hear some great music check out my friend James Powell’s latest EP Aliviaon iTunes. If you like what you hear and want to know more about him check out theirIUS Foundation and support them on this years trip to China. Lastly, the Raggamuffin Radio text is in support of my awesome friends Joy& Heidi, check out their handcrafted headbands and accessories at the Ragga-Shop!
And here is my attempt of the detailed digital receiver…
In the course of a day I possibly read about 20-30 news articles online and I’m consistently thinking of theories, political philosophies, and taking notes. Reading, highlighting through my pocket sized constitution and The Law (free book!) and engaging in political discussions. I value knowledge with the utmost respect as prescribed through God’s word, not just man’s knowledge that puffs up. Nonetheless, with so many different thoughts, theories, and political ponderings at the end of the day I can find myself a bit overwhelmed. In my passionate pursuit to see things in there right and proper function I tend to fill a bit hopeless looking at the current state of our society. So, with my mind filled with ideas and ideologies in hope to sleep at the day’s end I realize its imperative I have an anchor for my soul in the unstable sea of my thoughts. Thus, God’s word refreshes me, when I look into God’s perfect law of love I realize we’ll always be contending for what is right. We’ll continually be debating one another as to what’s right because nothing is truly right until God makes it so. As I was reading earlier this week before bed I remember the statement arising in my heart “lead me to the rock that is higher than I.” Read more »
