Another Test of some stuff.

#11

I'm bored, so you get stuck with another boring post about nothing. Or maybe, it will be about something. Well, first I had a thought driving home today. There are alot of church sponsered youth rallies and things like that going on. Summer camps, retreats, week-end projects and so on. At these 'church condoned' get togethers some times there are bands. These bands like to rock out, have a good time, sing uplifiting music, and such and stuff. Well, what does that teach the youth? I, as a church of Christ lifer, was never told why we didn't use instrumental music when I was growing up. It was just something we didn't do. Of course the cc music then was pretty lame, but now, there is a different flavor of it every week. Now that I am older, I still don't know a scriptural reason why we don't use instruments. The only reason that is ever explained to me is that some of the older members feel that it is inappropriate for a Sunday morning service. Well, thats a real good explaniation for the next generation. "Sure, there's this thing that you like and can listen to all week long, but not at church. Nope, the old people won't let us." Yep, that should take care of any questions kids have for next generation or two, and by then I'll be dead so I won't have to worry about it. Its just one of the things that was never explained to me growing up. Of course, I am pretty clueless about most stuff. Always the last to find out. I worry about children, a lot. Especially Middle Schoolers, they have it rough. Caught in the middle like that, its tough. People wonder why teenagers get off track, well, I think its because their armor hasn't been given to them. They get sent out into the world everyday, a world that doesn't care about them and what do they have for protction? the vast majority have nothing or very little. Maybe a small shield, an undersized helmet, a little dagger instead of the sword they should be wielding. Meh, more angst. :)

Secondly,Mark, I have clue what you were talking about in your comment. Bloglines or some such thing? Can you elaborate(sp?) on that, thanks.

EDIT:Wait, I think I found it. Did you mean WebLogs?? Cause I just turned that on.
EDIT EDIT:Ok, I found BlogLines. I'll try and figure out what the deal is with my outbound feed.

Fantastic. Some of those who are reading this(Mark) may notice a new picture in my profile. Yep, thats us. Of course this picture is 3 years old. It is a honeymoon picture actually. Of course, I've gained a little weight and the wife's hair isn't blond any more, but it still works, for now. Oh and the steak counts as a Victory.

Well, crud, look at that. I only posted once yesterday. How am I suppose to be an angsty twelve year old if I only post once a day. BLARGH. Oh well. I guess my real age kinda shoots that in the foot anyway. Not that I'm in to shooting twelve year olds in the foot, cause I'm not. Ok, and now if the tour will look over to the left. It is Friday. I have weekend plans. 1)Mow the lawn. 2)Watch Superman, perferably a matanee it is cheaper and it is my understanding that the movie is six and a half hours long. 3)Read something 4)Continue on my quest to modify this venue for my daily angst. 5)Deposit my pay-check. 6)Find and bug old friends on the internet. On that note, a really good friend of mine,The Ark Keeper, who I came across referred to my move as Peter Pan returning to NeverLand. Yeah, that makes me smile. :) Part of me thinks I'm building up this move to much. Most of my friends have moved away. A lot of them to Texas, some to South Carolina, a couple to the mid west. I miss them a lot. I'll survive but going back makes me miss them so much more.< /angst> Meh, I have customers backedup now. I'll write later, must keep my tweleve year old status.

I'm making a post, just so I can have more then one post today. Also, I found even more brothers today. Alot of them are over on Xanga.com Oh well, I still think I'm going to to with this one for the long haul. Going to spend some time tonight tweeking my template again. Man, I have no life. I can't wait to move back to a small town. Maybe then I'll get out of the house a little.

Deuteronomy 13-17 and Psalms 12 are the chapters tonight. I think it is interesting that so many people look at God in the old testement and they choose to see the blood shed, sacrifice, death, destruction, and so on. Then they look at the new testement and they see a God who is easy going, non-confrontational, a buddy Jesus if you will. Neither of these images are acurate. In the first 12 chapters alone Moses has repeatedly told the nation of Isreal that God loves them. That he has given them laws to protect them. That he has taken care of them like they were babies. Its amazing how concerned He is with there well-being. Amazing.
