– This is the weekly blog series that I look forward to the most.
– If I did this twice per week then I wouldn’t look forward to it as much.
– These are my spontaneous spur-of-the-moment thoughts right now.
– It takes you 3 seconds or less to read each thought.
– That’s why the’re called ‘Mini Thoughts’.
– I’ve got to be careful here because I could offend someone.
– Oh well what if I do ?
– I’m just being real.
– It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been on this journey following God.
– The devil is always working hard to win you back.
– He wants you to commit sins and rejoin the darkness of the world.
– If you take your heart and soul off of God then you lose.
– But once you’ve fallen it’s real easy to get back up again.
– God is the solution to every problem.
– If you don’t believe that then you just don’t get it.
– Maybe some day you will.
– Hopefully some day you will.
– God will patiently wait for you to come around.
– It’s never too late to stop wasting time and start chasing daylight.
– I didn’t proceed into the light until after my 39TH birthday.
– Ask me about my new Life over the past 1,000+ days.
– TOMORROW is my 24TH anniversary in the United States Air Force.
– There are people working on base that were born after I started working there.
– If you were born in 1993 then you can drive a car now.
– That totally frightens me to bits and pieces !
– Dallas Texas got SLAMMED by torrential rains, flooding, and wind damage.
– Some parts of Dallas got over a half a FOOT of rain today and last night.
– If my flight to DFW was this afternoon then I would have gone nowhere.
– Hundreds of flights in and out of DFW were cancelled today.
– Luckily I’m flying in to the Metroplex NEXT Thursday afternoon.
– I hope the weather is peaceful and quiet then – here and there.
– I received a funny joke today via E-Mail regarding Texas.
– I’ll post it as a ‘Saturday Morning Shenanigan’ this weekend.
– I might see “The Hangover” at the movie theatre this weekend.
– It’s a surprising runaway box office smash hit !
– I’ll probably be laughing all throughout the funny flick.
– I love to laugh.
– Laughing is healthy.
– If I’m laughing then all is good in my Life.
– And it is.

It’s all about that girl on the dangerous streets who’s lost, dazed, and confused in the darkness of her nightmarish world. She’s dying to live. She’s dying to know what love is. She’s got a good friend that’s trying to show her something more. If she would just take his hand he’ll lead her straight to God. This darkness would come to an end if she would just take her chances with God.
That’s the powerful story that’s set to music in this Summer Of 2004 Christian Rock smash from Columbus Ohio’s Everyday Sunday. Here’s the music video for “Gypsy Girl (What Love Is)”. It’s in the lyrics:
The band’s hot new album – “Best Night Of Our Lives” – drops at retail next Tuesday June 16TH 2009.
It’s the 1ST Sunday of June in 2009, and here are my takeaways from Life Pointe Church in Homestead Florida this morning:
– This was my very first Life Pointe Church service in ‘HD‘.
– That’s right – I have new glasses now, so I can see clearly now.
– The increasingly bearded Pastor Travis led this morning’s teaching.
– It was Part 9 of our current ‘Rebel’ message series that started on Easter.
– This morning’s teaching was entitled ‘Rebel Love: Riot Gear’.
– It was based on 1 Peter 3:8-22.
– God is working in each of us.
– He wants us to be victorious in Life – through the good times and the bad times.
– We must be confident in His authority and His power for victory.
– We must trust our gut only when God is in charge of it.
– We must never trust in ourselves.
– We will never know better than God.
– The only truth comes from God and Scripture.
– His Good News should be our owner’s manual.
– Satisfaction is always guaranteed with God.
1 Peter 3:10-12 (NLT, 2ND Ed.)
10 For the Scriptures say,
“If you want to enjoy Life
and see many happy days,
keep your tongue from speaking evil
and your lips from telling lies.
11 Turn away from evil and do good.
Search for peace, and work to maintain it.
12 The eyes of the Lord watch over those who do right,
and His ears are open to their prayers.
But the Lord turns His face
against those who do evil.”
Virtually all of the music that I listen to today on the radio is from artists that I had never heard of prior to the start of this 1,000+ day journey during the Summer of 2006. In fact they are all from a music genre that I didn’t really know existed until my Rebirthing. It’s the Christian Rock genre, and it’s hit music produced, written, and performed by followers of Jesus Christ. Their music can be louder, harder, and rougher than that of their secular counterparts, but this is music with a positive message – a Godly message. Even in music – it is all about Him.
Here’s one such hard rocker. It’s one of my all-time favourite songs of my fantastic journey thus far. It’s “Fading Away” from Demon Hunter, and it’s in the lyrics:
