Here Comes Earth

The grip gets tighter...

A federal ID... Then I.D. Chips. Once we get the chips thats it. If you don't comply with what they want, they shut your chip off. What does that mean? Well since you won't be able to purchase items without a chip it means that you're cutoff from society.

First they came for the Communists, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Communist; then they came for the trade unionists, and I did not speak up, because I was not a trade unionist; then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak up, because I was not a Jew; then they came for the Catholics, and I did not speak up, because I was a Protestant. And then they came for me, and by that time, there was no one left to speak up for me (quoted in Littell).

Why is there so much killing?

2007-12-21T04:22:00.000-08:00

I see it all the time on the news, in fact I have a blog about it (http://repoff.blogspot.com). Why is there so much killing? Why are people so angry, things weren't this bad before. I can tell you some of the reasons. The first thing one needs to do to find the answer is look at what is different between now, and when things were more peaceful. Firstly, men and women are both working full time jobs to make ends meet, so no one is home to watch the kids. The cost of living has outpaced wage increases in an absolutely ridiculous manner. And, the most important in my opinion, people have abandoned Christian belief and morals.

Let's start with working. Men and women are both part of the work force, which isn't a bad thing -- as long as they don't have kids. Unfortunately for most kids their parents do both work, and they are left with the "Electronic Babysitter", the television. Mind you that the television, video games, and computer games do not endorse Christian morals in any kind of way.

Now when I say Christian morals, what do I mean? Not killing, loving people for who they are, not loving money, not having premarital sex, not doing drugs(Idol Worshipping), and just about any other thing that parents don't want their children doing. The television, movies, and games almost completely promote these things. And worse yet, they GLAMORIZE them.

It's expensive to live and with average jobs you need two to live on. It is now inexcusable financially to only finish high school, unless facing poverty everyday is your goal. The paradox is many people can't go to school for many reasons. I'm pretty hard nosed when it comes to peoples' decisions. What I mean by that is yes, I understand that many people make bad decisions, but I will admit that there are some people who are born into circumstances beyond their control and they will be unable to go to college, or even finish high school if they are lucky!

The third topic I will address I feel very strongly about. People have put so much time and effort into making God their enemies. They want Him out of government, the want Him out of schools, they look at you funny if you mention His name, but as soon as something bad happens they say "If there truly was a God, then where was He?" Well, I'll put it into the words of Billy Grahams Daughter: "I believe God is deeply saddened by this, just as we are, but for years we've been telling God to get out of our schools, to get out of our government and to get out of our lives. And being the gentleman He is, I believe He has calmly backed out. How can we expect God to give us His blessing and His protection if we demand He leave us alone?"

People want their kids to follow the rules set forth in the bible but they don't want them to read the bible. They don't want their kids to read the bible or go to church but they won't teach them how they are to act because they are at work trying to earn money to buy presents for a holiday that represents the birthday of a loving Savior that they refuse to acknowledge. How do you expect these kids to turn out? They do what they know, and in TV. and video games that means sex and violence.

Man of the Year goes to.. who?

2007-12-20T04:40:00.000-08:00

This is the face of Time Magazine's man of the year. Yeah, that would be the Russian President Vladimir Putin. Yes, I'm in complete disbelief too, I wonder how much he paid to get that title.

I want to go here

2007-12-14T10:08:00.000-08:00

How beautiful is this? This is Ireland. This is a country that I would definitely want to visit. I've always imagines it to be very green, and every once in a while I look up pictures of it to see if I'm right. I can't imagine what it would be like to stand at the top of those cliffs overlooking the water and feel the mist and the wind blowing. I want to take my Fiancée to these places so we can experience it together.

Yeah... It's a hybrid

2007-12-14T08:39:00.000-08:00

Yes, this is a hybrid vehicle made by Fisker. It can do up to 202 MPH(This is electronically limited.). I don't know how far it can go off one charge, but this looks very nice. It better be, because this car rings in the $200,000.00 to $300,000.00 mark. I'm still waiting for the GM Volt. I think that will be nice too, if GM follows through of course. You can see the Fisker car at http://fiskercb.com/ and the Chevy Volt http://www.chevrolet.com/electriccar/. There's a lot of really good things in the works for Hybrid and All Electric Vehicles, I'm excited to see where everything goes.

Dec. 14, 2007 - Nashville Tennessee - Al Gore's house is finally up to par. After coming under huge scrutiny for having such an energy inefficient house, and preaching so highly about being green, he has completed the changes to his house and seems to be quite proud.

Eleventy Seven - It's Beautiful

This is a really good song that I heard this morning. Check it out at http://www.purevolume.com/eleventyseven

Eleventyseven - It's Beautiful lyrics

I wish that you would tell me how
You know me well and want to be together
Falling short and fading out
But you keep making gardens in this desert
Despite the grace that I dismiss
Forgiveness was the catalyst
To penetrate my heart with what is true

It's beautiful
You can turn mistakes to miracles
The way that you still love me after all
It's beautiful

Redeem the years I've thrown away
I'm ready to make good on what I've wasted
I'm asking you to shape my heart
I want to be your work of art
'cause when you change me
You make me more like you

It's beautiful
You can turn mistakes to miracles
The way that you still love me after all
It's beautiful

So help me God, forbid
I never take for granted
This endless gift you give
It's beautifulYou can turn mistakes to miracles
The way that you still love me after all

It's beautifu
lIt's beautiful [x2]

I wish that you would tell me how
You know me well and want to be together
