Best Week Ever

Last Sunday's elevation service, Brent mentioned Easter week is second only to the week of creation.
I find no qualms with this, except that it may need a qualifier, that this is the best week for mankind.
It probably was a pretty tough week for Jesus.
He had the foreknowledge that one of his 12 would betray him.
He was aware of his impending doom and sacrifice.
He knew that still to this day, much of humanity would not acknowledge him as the one true God.

Not to be heretical, but I don't know what i would do in these circumstances if i was Jesus.

I always remember a song by the band Dogwood when I reflect on Easter and the Passion.

"Do or Die"

I killed the Son of God today.
I built the cross where He was slain.
My sins,
The hands that held the hammer that
drove the nails through His skin.
Someday I win.
I want to make it up.
I want to die to myself for You.
It makes me fall apart,
When I think of all that You went through.
I owe my all to You. (I owe my all to You)

Chorus:
Because when it came to do or die.
You died for me,
Though I would be nothing perfect,
For human eyes to see.

My hands are Yours for works.
My eyes will seek until I've found You.
My legs will walk the earth,
Until You tell me my work is through.
I want to make it up,
I want to die to myself for You,
You are the one that I love,
I owe my all to you. (I owe my all to you)

(chorus)

I met the Son of God today,
He said "I forgive you for My pain",
He took my sin that held the hammer
that drove the nails through His skin,
He said I win.

(chorus)

I'm a new creation through You,
Created for You by You.
So make me worth Your while,
Put me to use.

Hey, Remember Me?

It's been a while.
Let's start off slow.
Here's a few jokes...

How did Hitler tie his shoes?
With little nazis.

Have you heard the jump rope joke?
Eh, skip it.

On a scale of 1-10,
how old was Michael Jackson's boyfriend?

thanks, I'll be here all week.

More Stimulating Talk Radio

I finished my last day at KFI AM 640. One whole year believe it or not. I worked in the promotions department, which included podcasting, creating contests and going to events, representing KFI.


What I will miss:
Being aware of all the current events.
Seeing the occasional celebrity.
My coworkers.


What I won't miss:
The commute. 3-4 hours a day.

Shaving and dressing modestly.
Dealing with the "talent."
Going to events in the boondocks and setting up a tent and passing out swag for just two hours.

Dealing with KFI fans like this.

Long time...no blog

Hey, sorry guys.
I know you've been shedding tears thinking I would never return to the blogosphere. I suppose I haven't been very inspired to blog about anything this summer.
The last draft I had ready to post was about why I think the 4th of July is a disappointing holiday. I didn't feel that was worthy enough to post, so here I am today, rambling...

Well, here I am. FYI, I'm still alive.

Movies, again...

Hopefully this blog doesn't turn into a movie review, but Live Free or Die Hard is by far the best movie of the summer. I would highly recommend it for a purely entertaining time. No need to see the three previous films.



Yet, this could all change after seeing Transformers.

Deja Vu

So really, what is it?
Does it exist?
According to "The Matrix" it exists.
Is it a man-made explanation, or do we really have a sense of recurrence?
I only bring this up because I was editing my blog, as you may have noticed, and I had the strange sensation that I was experiencing these same thoughts and actions before. And this is not the first time either.

Seriously, what do you think?

Side note: I did not see the movie "Deja Vu" staring Denzel Washington, nor do I have a strong desire to see it.

This is the summer of...

Trilogies!




And some other sequels...



I've seen five of these movies so far, and I intend on seeing two more of them when they come out. (I pretty much don't care about the Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer or Rush Hour 3)
If you weren't aware (and you should if you know me at all), I pretty much love movies. I love going to the movie theater. I wouldn't mind working in the movie industry. My dream is to have a home theater in my house one day.
And some of the movies I'm most excited about are not even being talked about that much.



So if you ever feel like going to the movies, give me a call.
