Happy Labor Day

Happy Labor Day everyone!! Did you know the first labor day took place on September 5, 1882. Which is a good thing. The sad thing is labor day symbolizes the last day of summer, I love summer. What I've always wondered though is where the rule "no white after labor day" came from. The reasons I found are: 1.) White reflects sunlight so therefor it keeps you cooler, and why would one want to be colder in winter?!?! (duh)...thats my favorite dumb reason. 2.)In the late 19th century alot of people where entering the middle classes. Well, they didnt know anything about the standards of high society, so they were given specific rules to follow in order to fit in. Thats just plain mean!! 3.) Apparently to southerners its just rude and total bad manners to wear white before easter. I dont think it bothers me, but hey thats just me. I dont really care for any of these reasons, so I say WEAR WHATEVER YOU WANT PEOPLE! Have a great labor day and don't work to hard :)

My Fear

This has been on my mind for about 2 months now, so I thought I would share it to the world (all 3 of the people that read my blog :) )

In 2008 the United States of America will vote in a new president. For the past 100 years, the President has come from either the Republican or Democratic Party, so it seems safe to assume that the same will hold form in 2008. The leading candidates for President of the USA are Hillary Clinton (D) and Rudy Giuliani (R). I know there are other people including Mitt Romney, Fred Thompson, and Barack Marx (Obama).

This is what is bothering me; the most likely two candidates will be both pro choice and pro homosexual. This is unbelievable to me, that in the USA a country founded on the word of God we will chose between two people that have no regard for His word or His principles. This is not a blog to debate beliefs, just to say that I fear for my country. What will happen in 2012? How much more will we walk away from the principles of God? Hillary also wants socialized medicine and basically a socialist government. This was a country founded on capitalism and the Word of God, both are being abandoned in 2008. It is really sad to see this wonderful country destroy itself. My Grandpa lost his dad at 3 and mom at 11, yet he worked his tail off to make something of himself, including picking cotton, sharecropping, and welding. He got his GED in his 40's and became a productive citizen of society. My Grandmother father died at 13 and was raised by her mom as she worked multiple jobs to provide for her family. The government did not give her anything and she did not expect them to. She worked HARD! In today's society b/c of all the social programs, when tragedy hits and people have their backs against a wall, what do they do? They turn to the government, not to hard work.

My fear is simple, I'm afraid that this great country I love, is continuing to ignore God and His principles and that is a dangerous road to travel. Lets make a difference in 2008 and vote in accordance to Gods word and turn the tied.

I just need ONE MORE DAY!!!!!!!!

Ever wonder why there are only seven day in a week? why not eight? i just need one more day...seriously, my "do absolutely nothing" day. If i were the rule maker back then...eight day weeks would be the way to go. This sparked my interest. so i looked into it.......but searching for a reason to have a day all to myself, i realized there is someone way more important who needs a day...

So Sunday, to christians, is God's day, a day of rest. Yet ironically, the name Sunday has nothing to do with God. It's named after the sun, because the romans wanted to show their respect for the sun by letting it have the first day of the week...whats up with that? They should of given us ten day weeks just to make up for that dumb decision...

Ok, u thought sunday was named for a retarded reason...listen to monday. since the sun was honored, nobody wanted the moon to get jealous so they had to pay their respect to the moon as well. Also, it's referred to as the blue day. Nobody for sure knows why, but the reason i liked was that blue is associated with depression. And since monday begins the work week, don't we all get a lil depressed?

Tuesday has a long drawn out story...basically it was named after the Roman god of war, Mardi....like Mardi Gras, fat tuesday....funny how so far none of these names have anything to do with the one and only true GOD.

Wednesday, another day named after a false god, Odin. He was the chief god of Asgard so i guess he must have deserved a day too....Wednesday also called hump day...awkward...its the "middle of the week" day

Moving along...Thursday named after the god of thunder..dont know why, probably another boring story, but i like thursday because Thanksgiving is always on a thursday...yummy

TGIF...the most favorite, popular, and looked forward to day of the week (is that a fragment?) anyway, named after Frigga (Odin's wife). She was the goddess of marriage, to the Romans named after the goddess of beauty. This is the first day named after a female....and who doesnt love fridays??

Saturday, named after a roman festival. It is a day free of work...thats always good....

So, seven days. None of which were named after the actual God who worked the first six days and rested the seventh. None even mention respect to the real God who created these crazy roman people. Nobody even honored the awesome God who started it all, invented the day in the first place. Not fair huh. So i vote we have an eighth day completely named after our amazing, awesome, powerful creator...tell me what you think? what should it be called??

Just a Thought

In the early 80's Pepsi started the "Pepsi Challenge." Up until then, Coke had completely destroyed Pepsi in drink sells. Side not, if you are from the south everything is a coke. Do you want a coke? Yes, I will take a Dr Pepper, everything is a coke first. I digress. After the Pepsi Challenge, Coke begin to lose its control of the market. In response to their decline, they created "New Coke" and it was HORRIABLE! As Coke studied the "Pepsi Challenge" they fcund out that the reason Pepsi won on a sip test, was that it was sweeter than Coke, but when Coke and Pepsi were sent home, Coke always out lasted Pepsi and people would chose Coke for the long haul.

My point is this, this world can be fun for a moment (a sip test) but in the end you are left with nothing (coming down from a sugar rush). Jesus is the real deal, His ways will lead you to a life you can only dream of (John 10:10). No one ever says I hated living for God after 20 yrs, but many people regreat a moment of sin (Drugs, Alchool...)

Jesus is the REAL Deal and He has lasting power, chose JESUS

My First Post

Ok, here goes. Welcome to my blog and I hope you enjoy my thoughts (what little there are).

We just came back from our annual youth retreat and it was awesome. Ryan and Shari Dean were our special guest and they did an unbelievable job of connecting with the youth group. If you have never been to theRevolutions youth retreat, you are missing out on an incrediable experience.

Me and the youth staff took 50 students to Gatlinburg, TN and went white water rafting, which was an experience in itself. I was so proud of our youth group as they showed that you can be crazy (BARBARA!!!) and also still be passionatly in love with God.

My most memoriable time at this year retreat, was the transition from crazy fun, to crazy moves of God. We went from watching the Saints game into powerful moves of God, in minutes.

With as much pride as I can have, theRevolution is the greatest youth group in the WORLD and I'm privalaged to be their Student Pastor.
