Good as annual

My Aunt's house at the lake is one of my favorite places to be. It's like a vacation, but it's like home too. I could sit out on the dock all day, especially at Christmas because everyone has their lights up across the lake. Every year on the weekend of my parent's anniversary Scott, my Grandma, and I go there to spend the night. Every year it's the same tradition. On Saturday afternoon we see a movie, eat at Ryan's for dinner, do a little shopping, it rains, and we go home to open a couple of presents.

Movie Review: Four Christmases sucks.

I'm going to Gaffney on Tuesday and staying the whole week after Christmas. I couldn't be more ready for a REAL break from work!
holler.

I promise you the world. again.

I don't even pretend to pretend like I know anything about Revelation. The demon, spiritual warfare topic has been one that I could never wrap my mind around, and I guess that's a good thing. I hope no human fully understands it. But as opportunity would fall, it's my week to teach sunday school and we're in Luke chapter 8, where Jesus heals a demon-possessed man. I never know how to teach high schoolers, much less on anything demon-related. However, in my attempt to study up on it, I found some pretty cool things about the authority of Jesus. Ya know, one of those characteristics we say Jesus has because we're supposed to, but often do we think anything of it. I'm the worst at that game. The thing I find cool about these demons inside this man is that over and over they begged for mercy. When Jesus speaks, they first call Him by his name, then they beg him for mercy. A demon begging for mercy. To me it's a pretty solid example of Christ's authority over everything, even the spiritual world.

It says in Revelation 20:2-3 "He seized the dragon, the ancient serpent, who is the devil, or satan, and bound him for a thousand years. He threw him into the abyss, and locked and sealed it over him, to keep him from deceiving the nations anymore until the thousand years were ended." So the abyss is no Disney World. No one wants to be up in there. I would imagine that's where most demons hang out, and that's where they belong. In hell with Satan. Luke 8:31 says, "And they begged him repeatedly not to order them into the abyss." That place must be pretty evil if the demons are terrified to go there.

Reading this makes me realize Jesus can heal anything. I act like my sin and my problems are too much to handle or sometimes too small to worry about. The man in Luke had hundreds, maybe thousands of demons inside of him, this lasting for years and years. Imagine being that man after you were freed from that. I very rarely ask the Lord to free me from my own sin. It's usually just a "hey, help me out." But Jesus heals because He has the authority to do so.

Greatest Hits are the Only Hits

Why do musical artists always seem to come out with their "greatest hits" album right at Christmas time? I saw one christian artist put out a new album called, "the yearbook," including all of his hits from I guess 2008. Putting out a new album is great, and around Christmas is a good time for purchasing purposes. BUT my problem lies within the fact that those artists only have like 2 albums out anyway. And then their gonna make a "greatest hits" album out of that? Na, man. I wish more people would think before they act.

EP albums drive me nuts too. I mean, let's just make a full album. I know you have the time.

Welcome back, love

When I was smaller, but not too small, my dad always made sandwiches with only one peice of bread that was folded over. Usually pamento cheese, which i loved. I thought it to be way cool so i started to do that and would have one like...everyday. I feel like I had way too much pamento cheese in those days, and I haven't had it for years. Until yesterday. I was re-introduced and the fire was re-lit. I realized it wasn't over.
