- Have you ever felt good and then bad all in a day? I have felt so much, but it is when I trust God at His promises, when I realize that I have value and that I have a job to do here on earth, it is then when the joy of the Lord becomes my strength; as I know now that giving is better than receiving.

I'd be a hairbrush to straiten things up.

- If you were Great, how great and who would you be?
I'd be a Star-Pilot upon many Galaxies, the year would be AD 2,303 and my skills would be seven times beyond Luke Skywalker. I'd be worshipped and girls would kill and die for me. I'd be richer than Solomon, Muskier and more pathetically funny than Donald Trump, Faster than Spiderman and Batman combined. I'd be more loving than a Zeus or Jesus, more tricky than a Devil.
However, being great comes before a fall. Being great was in the eyes of Eve, as she stated her Convictions above Doctrines of God which resulted in a sinful lie of "God said" instead of a "I Prefer not to Touch..." and her preference was her path towards being great, as in getting more even when God supplied for them all that they needed, with that wonderful Garden. Tower of Babel was made to be greater than God because they insisted in learning more about Creation [Astronomy] rather than the Creator. Titantic [also starting with letter T] was said to be greater in those words that "not even God could sink it." Satan said that he would become Greater in the words "I will" in Isaiah. God, however, gives grace and Exaltation to the Humble.

- What Disney Character Would You Be?
I'd be Aladdin because he is full of adventure, and no shirt for you ladies out there. This Portorican Jew, Renee Hartsman, said she would be Jasmine prior to my answer. Hmmm, how convenient, but I didn't say I would be Aladdin just because I was sitting by this funny Orange Kiwi Starburst of a girl. Being the Genie would be good but I don't like his haircut. - If you were a fruit, what fruit would you be?
I would be a pear, after it's sliced up, because they are really Consistent, and for all you ladies out there [Uncle Jim's accent], also because they are very smooth, and especially delicious.

- FOCUS
I need to develop a focus and desire to do just as God wants and to stop being all over the place as if I lost my marbles, or oatmeal.

- Praise 1
Bought a green wallet
with 2 cool zippers and plenty of pockets. I got the one with the fish on it, instead of the cross, because the fish is our part of the program, and
because it is less misrepresented than the cross
since most religions will try relating to us because of a symbol.
But it is what is behind the symbol that counts,
the idea that it was Jesus, not the cross, who saved us,
it is only Christ as God and man that can and did save us;
and we have the better half, that better half is salvation that then gives us a hope and guarantee
that He will live through us because it is the will and the to do of His good pleasure to
finish what He has started with, and that is to work in us, those who have accepted, the desires of His heart.
This green wallet, with a fish symbol,
is a huge praise;
and this may be simple and not a big deal to you but I
love that God cares about us that much. He cares about even the little things in our lives.

- MOM
At my Mom's Xanga are articles like New Orleans was prophesied;
click here to subscribe to my mom. - God or god?
9. Greek's "gods" not "Gods"?
In this article Austin Cline states that Atheists are not insulting Theists, but that "Gods" is incorrect just as we would't write "Cats."
He states that we must accept, tolerate or compromise, other religions;
he includes that it is correct to say that Christians believe in a "god."
Yet, God is a diety, He alone must be served, Matt.4:10 and God is not just another god.

- prayer update
1. Currently, I still need a ride to the airport on November 24, as my plane leaves at 10:43am from Albany, NY.
2. I have no ride back to WOLBI on my return on December 29, when I land at 10:00am.
3. I am still needing $450 to go to Quebec on April 21-30, 2006.
4. My Dad is unsaved, mom needs wisdom concerning financial and family problems.
5. I need wisdom in selecting a college for 06-07, unless if I make it into the Impact Team.
The just shall live by faith aloneGalatians 3:11 - SUBLIMINAL 2
Behind the lyrics and melody lies hidden messages, oh my word [British accent];
music can distract us to
compromise;
to serving the creature [us]
rather than the Creator
Romans 1:25
8. does it even matter?
I never saw the connection, most of my life,
between
the music that I would allow myself to listen to and my overall behavior throughout each day.
Even without subliminals,
my music was nonsense [mom’s favorite word]
And it was a waste of time because God made music for a purpose.
A good person who gives in to a bad personis a muddied spring, a polluted well.
Proverbs 25:26
My Music:
It was ok [better now I hope]
because I listened to everything, which injured my testimony [as I was ashamed of Christian music],
like Brittany Spears, Michael Jackson, and anything that had a cool beat to it.
God really have changed my taste for music after I realized what music is for.
God should be the center
of music and the center to

- SUBLIMINAL
Eat oatmeal, find me a date, you are getting sleepy, when you wake
then you'll be a Christian rabbit. No.
Just Kidding.
But Florida Jake Greer showed me Demonic things.
It reminds me of slavery, as seen in Philemon,
yet why can't Christians subliminal-ize the gospel in songs?
Never mind the answers, as many as there are xangas.
Subliminal defined as unawarable but capable of changing one's actions.
7. What is Subliminal?
It is not Subway or a sub-train in New York where the Turtles and Superman lives.
It is often demonic to say one thing but to do another.
This is probably not a subliminal, above, but if the love of oatmeal substituted God then it would be.
Just say what is true.
That way,
your language can't be used against you
James 5:12

6. Is it ok to be Homesick?
On November 24, 2005, I am scheduled to fly home
and I feel unsure how to trust and wait upon the Lord
My perspective is clouded, as the just shall live by faith.
I am unsure of the future
but I must trust that God will take care of me
but
that does not mean that I sit around and do nothing.
Do all things
without murmurings
and reasonings,
-Phil.2:14
It is tough to trust when I don't have a ride and my dad is unsaved; we are in a war
but I will not quit
because by God's grace I can do it.

- CULTS:
5. Could I be in a cult without knowing it?
A cult is anything apart from God's ways
because without the truth you're lost.
Christians can be a cult if they think that serving God is an obligation
instead of a blessing and honor.
meditating on things true
[Phil.4:8].Sophomore year, 01-02:
I was ever determined in consolidating all our home videos;
homies, there is nothing cultic about organzing and developing movies,
especially when these videos are my memories to precious times "back in the day."
but
I was not doing enough homework, I was procrastinating the immediate essentials.
if
it gets in the way of
doing the best.

I was leaning on me. I still do this.
4. Can we be selfish without knowing it?
As a teen, would I consider myself as selfish?No.I went to church, and served God here and there on any day.But there would be certain things that I thought I had to do.SIM CITY:I would play Sim City on Nintendo because I wanted to have the biggest and best city.God never said"thou shalt not play Sim City"so what was the big deal? Christians can have fun too.For me,the problem was distraction.I would be obsessed at balancing the city-structure betweenthe commercials, residents and filthy industries.I would play for hours, daily,and when I wasn't playing my mind was still planning out my perfect,but unreal, world; I lived in a virtual reality.5Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lordwith all your heart and mind anddo not rely on your own insight or understanding.6In all your ways know, recognize, and acknowledge Him,and He will direct and make straight and plain your paths.
Why can I know all the answers,
when I don't know all the questions?
I am as a man in the dark forest,
without following God,
as one being preyed by the wolfs.
