Hey<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I was reading a book I just recently picked up and this caught me as authentic and perhaps something useful.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“He talks about Jesus as if he knows him, as if he has talked to Him on the phone earlier that morning.  Rick loves God because he accepts God’s unconditional love first. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Rick says that I will love God because he loved me.  I will obey God because I love God.  But if I cannot accept God’s love, I cannot love Him in return, and I cannot obey Him.  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

.. The ability to accept God’s unconditional grace and ferocious love is all the fuel we need to obey Him in return.  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

…  Our ‘behavior’ will not be changed long with self-discipline but fall in love and a human will accomplish what he never thought possible.” – From the book Blue Like Jazz by Donald Miller<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

So they have this new xanga themes thing— I think its okay.. doesn’t have everything or all the options I want, but you can see what it looks like.  [  Click here to see.<\/a> ]<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

These are my thoughts at 2am going into the 3rd hour of the day.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Not like this is foreign territory.  ha!  I laugh at that thought…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Yankees season has started, they are 1 – 1, it is good to have that going- just as basketball starts to wrap up.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I found an old video.. anyone who is a sports fan back in the day should enjoy it.  Especially if you like basketball… and a current one that is only a year or so old.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

And the 2nd…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I know this part is old old news.  When I went bowling with JJ last week, I bowled a 183?  or something, it was really good.  I hit 4 strikes straight.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Anyway… more random videos coming in other blogs.  2 more, unless I find more! \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

JJ applied for the US Airways job and landed it!  I’m happy that he got the job.  Tomorrow (which is now today) Crystal might come up to have lunch with me.  Fun times…<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I loathe the expression “What makes him tick.” It is the American mind, looking for simple and singular solution, that uses the foolish expression. A person not only ticks, he also chimes and strikes the hour, falls and breaks and has to be put together again, and sometimes stops like an electric clock in a thunderstorm.  – James Thurber <\/p>\n

I suppose that’s all for now.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
