It's Been Awhile & Links

Well, it's been awhile. I'm super busy right now with school, 2 classes this semester; Systematic Theology II and Life of Christ. I'm in the middle of my "Doctrine of the Church" and I just wrote 2 sermons on "The Hypocritical Heart - Overcoming the Pharisee inside you" for Life of Christ. It's been fun; I'm also teaching a long lesson to the church on Marriage in the month of February.

Weight Update:
I've lost 10 pounds since starting my diet and workouts. 10 more to go! Thanks!

SUPER BOWL!
So I'm really torn for the Super Bowl. I love Kurt Warner and I love the Steelers. Whoever wins I will be happy. But a little part of me wants Warner to win. 1st, he will give all the glory to God and Christ. 2nd, I think that puts him in the Hall of Fame, no matter what anyone says. I will have a prediction next week.

Spring Training!
Less than a month away for Pitchers and Catchers to report. To be honest, I could care less. The Cardinals are going to be worse than last year, 3rd in the division. They didn't pick anyone up that matters. Everyone under the sun knew going into the offseason they needed a closer and a starting pitcher, they have yet to whiff at anyone. Oh well.

Obama!
Well it's finally over, Barack Obama is President. I'm glad the country is moving forward.
Barack Obama needs our prayer for strength to maintain the convictions he holds which are in keeping with God’s will for our nation, wisdom to realize where his beliefs are not according to God’s plan and then the courage to change.

Romans 13:1, Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God.

Enough about me, on to the links!

Now this is funny, we've been watching 90210 season 5 and Ray is in full effect. The thing is Chicago Heights was on before he appeared on 90210. Ray's about to throw Donna down the stairs soon.

Welcome 2009 & Friday Rants & Links

Well 2009 is here and as I sit here I wonder where 2008 went. A lot happened; our first black President was elected; the Illinois Governor is a laughing stock across the country and gets crazier and crazier each day; the economic times in America and the world continues to become more and more unsettling; however, God is still in control.

Some quick goals for 2009 (thought this would keep me accountable)
1. Continue to work hard at Moody and get as many classes as I can done.
2. Lose 15 pounds. Yes, at 32 my metabolism has slowed down and I weigh more than I ever have. Working out and eating more fruits and vegetables are the early goals. Eating better food overall is the long term goal. I'd like to give updates on this.

Happy New Year, on to the rant & links...

People are really scared about Rick Warren's prayer for Obama and the name "Jesus"

Cardinal update: Aaron Miles went to the Cubs. We tried to get Fuentes and he went to the Angels. Right now the Cardinals are worst than last years Cardinals...one more year of the 3 year grace period and I can complain all I want.

What happened to college football on New Years day? It used to be all day and tons of good games, now it consists of one good game (Go Penn State) and the rest of them scattered out through a week.

This on makes my brain hurt.
