3 days

Ok heads up all I am taking a three day break from inklings and Major computer activity. I need to get some priorities straight. Sorry for the abrupt change, but it is completely necessary.

What the????

Well yesterday we were all celebrating Hulk's birthday, and it was the first day of spring. We all watched UP, and had some cake, and he chose Lasagna as his birthday dinner.

We all had fun, and Hulk especially had fun. One little thing though... We got 2 inches of snow last night.
On the first day of spring.
In Texas.

I'm not likely to go play in this one. the conditions are a bit icy, and I don't want to dislocate my knee, but I am sure the younger kids will have loads of fun.

But still. it snowed, on the first day of spring, in Texas. how weird is that?

Lost our fire?

So, knowing my stance on Christian rock already. I was bugged by one other thing Tillie had mentioned, about anger and the feelings rock produce. Recently I have noticed a lot of people saying that Christians should have no temper, to keep themselves in check, and to ALWAYS be loving caring (does the term hippie also describe this?), and touchy feely goodness.

Ok so what is my point? We Christians either fight too much for what we know (or think) is right, or, in most cases, not enough. This goes deeper though, and this is to a core level. We have lost our desire to fight the real war, and to lead the lost to Christ.

What is happening? People have come to the belief, and this has been assisted by churches, that we all are insufficient for shining the light, and that the church REALLY needs us to lead the lost into the building, so that they can lead them.

This is not only in complete contradiction to the Bible, but it also has made us lazy. We have come to the attitude that someone else can lead people to Christ, we just need to show the lost to those people. One glance at the Bible would lead us to the conclusion that we are needing to be outside screaming the Gospel at the top of our lungs.

Why do we refuse to do that? well many would say something along the lines that they would "look stupid". also they have other things to do, some people are even afraid to step into a church, or too busy again. We are so busy with our "Normal lives" and how others view us, that we are blowing our lives away with material things, and not do what we were sent out to do.

Another common thing i see is Christians forcing our traditions and rules on non-believers. It does no good; If they do not see the light, why would they hold the lamp? They don't know what good is, so they just toss the lamp aside and go back to what they were doing. We SHOULD be teaching them the Gospel, and THEN worrying about teaching them the rest. We also should go back to the bible, specifically the new testament, to find out what we should, and should not do. Not look at Victorian traditions.

Bottom line: Wake up and feel the fire of God, and stop fighting the silly fights. We should lead lost souls to Christ by showing them the light.

Computers

Well the laptop is looking hopeful, my dad ordered the parts to fix it. Also i have purchased a new desktop, and my parents are buying themselves some laptops. All in all, no matter what i will be seeing an improved computer situation.

It will probably be next Saturday when I finally ship out the story.

Laptop died

This is being posted from the main computer, my computer has gone down, and while we are planning repairs, it will take at least a week before it is back up and running.

Until then I am not sending out the book, and you all will just have to wait longer, i am sorry for this inconviniance

Conversations with buddy

One thing they never tell you, is that when you are an older brother, you are bound to have weird conversations with a two year old at some point. Buddy and I have had three very weird conversations with each other, and I am going to share them.

I am replacing real names with these nicknames though, so no one in this house is really named Flash, Or Buddy
(Note, none of this happened all at once, I am combining three different conversations into one.)

Buddy: Bubuh Bubuh!.
Me: Yes?
He runs off with a mischievous grin. I worry for a second, and then grab myself some hot cocoa.
Buddy: Bubuh!
Me: Yes, buddy?
Buddy: Weed o’ ween
I am confused at this moment, but he has a Wolverine action figure, so I reply: “Wolverine?”
Buddy: Yeh, Weed O’ Ween
I walk over to the table with my hot cocoa, and look over some of the work in my stuff. He gets up on the bench across from me and leans over the table glaring.
Me: What?
He covers his eyes with his fists and acts like I can’t see him. I keep sipping my cocoa, and glancing up at him only to see him cover his eyes again. I get board, and head for my computer with my half full cup. He runs in there with his “Weed O’ ween”
Buddy pointing at my cup: Wast that?
Me deciding to play along: Yeah what is that?
Buddy: Coffee
At this point I try not to laugh.
Me: No it’s Hot Cocoa
Buddy: yeah, is a Coffee
I do laugh this time.
Me: why not ask flash for some Cocoa?
Buddy runs off yelling: FLASH!

Coming back in the room I ask him what he got.
Buddy holding up the sippy cup full of cocoa: Chocket
Flash: No it’s hot cocoa
Buddy: yes is a Chocket
This is about when he runs around all giddy, and grabs his batman action figure
Buddy: Mad man!
At this point I am tuning out and listening to my music when buddy runs over and sticks batman in my face.
Buddy: Mad man!
Me: go on.
A few seconds later I am still tuned out Buddy runs up to me again
Buddy: DDD!
Me: uh yeah it’s a DV….. wait a minute (I promptly take away the DVD from him, and flip it over to see: Master and Commander: Far side of the world
Me: Where did you get this?
Buddy: Madman DDD
Me: You want me to put in Batman?
Everyone else in the room: NO WE HAVE WATCHED IT A MILLION TIMES!
Me: Ok, how about Superman?
Them: NO
Me: Spider-man?
Them How about you put in Batman?
Rolling my eyes I stick in Batman and let the now very happy Buddy watch for all of ten seconds before he gets board and runs off.

After having put up Master and Commander I move on to my other daily routines only to be interrupted again. This time by Hulk
Hulk: AAAAAAAA! GET HIM OFF THE LAPTOP!!!!
Me: Sissy can you get him off the laptop?
Sissy (aka Katie): Ok
She gets him off. his is where he start screaming and runs to Mommy
Buddy: Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy Mummy
Mommy: WHAT!!!!!!????
Buddy runs off because he forgot what he was upset over.
I walk into the living room, and see him at my laptop again, and buddy is wearing my headphones while bobbing his head, and wiggling his finger across the touchpad.
Me: What are you doing?
Buddy: Storeee
Me: What?
I look down and see nothing was left up, so he wasn’t listening to anything either, obviously he was trying to mimic me. I ask him to move, and he does.
I am starting to finally get some peace when I heard:
Buddy: Bubuh Bubuh!

FRIDAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

An apology, and a really cool game.

I do not have photos on this computer, and worse, I have had an impossible time uploading them. I am sorry I was not able to put up the picture of the snowmen, but it just did not work out.

In other news, I have found a really cool new game. Ok the word new is a pure lie as it came out in like 2001, but now it is free. The game is about a world that has been dying, and you must travel though several worlds to solve the biggest puzzle of all.

that is right, it is URU  Live. This game is old enough to run on most computers, but it still looks fantastic. You can play alone, or find buddies and explore with others, and sole the riddles and puzzles of URU

for those wanting to play here is the link  http://mystonline.com/en/play/
