What are we supposed to think? Or How are we supposed to think? Living in this world filled with sin and hatred, how are we supposed to cope? How do we prevent ourselves from falling into the worldly pattern? Is it possible to get out of it… for good?
I’ve come across these questions lately as I have found myself slightly stuck… Certain areas in my life have become habitual and I’ve become content with that… which is bad. Also I’ve been slacking on my devotion and dedication… (as you can tell by the amount of posts I’ve had lately) Read the rest of this entry »
So I come back from my all-too-needed spring break - I mean really needed, I just got over being really sick, in the middle of make-up work and tests, and finishing projects and tieing up lose ends in groups that I missed out on while not being able to communicate - and I return home with my messy clothing bag and all my bag of souveniers, clumping a new pile in my room. Then I look at my hypothetical “to-do list” and I groan… Then I notice something my friend gave me before I got sick.
My grin slowly crosses my face as I remember what it is…
While on vacation in the Smokies, I picked up a book from one of the many book outlet stores there called God is Closer Than You Think, by John Ortberg. This book hit a key note on what was going on in my life. I felt distant from God, but this book helped bring me closer and realize opportunities I could take advantage to help me grow. I HIGHLY reccommend this book! Read the rest of this entry »
Too often do we judge one another in the wrong way. I recently read an article that talked about how the common phrase, ‘Judge Not Lest Ye Be Judged‘, has been misquoted. The article gave multiple Bible verses and talked about how God tells us to judge, but do it acording to His Word, the Word of God.
Working on this post in the near future… Isaiah 42:16, Bob Marley, and I AM LEGEND….. I’m “writing a book” in the near future about this. I have a collection of verses I want to put commenting on. The following is the pdf of it.
10And we pray this in order that you may live a life worthy of the Lord and may please him in every way: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11being strengthened with all power according to his glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, and joyfully 12giving thanks to the Father, who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of the saints in the kingdom of light. 13For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, 14in whom we have redemption,the forgiveness of sins.
Sidenote: Sorry about not so many posts lately, been busy, and have been focusing more on in-person approach to things rather than through “technology” haha… Read the rest of this entry »
My dad received a chain mail from a friend of his at our Church, and liked it enough that he showed it to the rest of the family. I’ll post my comment after it about my idea. Read the rest of this entry »
SWITCH BASE copy Originally uploaded by tehumbert@verizon.netBased off the new theme for Toggle. This, when pritned at 50% of the original size, should fit on your average lightswitch. I put this on my lightswitch as a reminder to myself Which life do I want to live, in the world or as God wants me to live?
Now this may sound corny, but you’d be surprised how well it has worked. ACtually when I was leaving my room, I didn’t want to turn the light switch down(off), so i went around to each room and turned of each light.

Remedy.fm There’s a new(ish) Christian Rock Radio Station out there. THe only thing is they are not yet on the radio, it is only on the internet at: Remedy.fm
It has a bit more “heavier” music than most “christian” stations. Bands I’ve heard on it:
Switchfoot
Thousand Foot Krutch
Leeland
Flyleaf
Sanctus Real
Hawk Nelson
Relient K
As you may have noticed, There Is a banner at the bottom of the page to go to their site. I thought I would help them advertise. Check it out when yoy get a chance. (YES I think it works on dial-up) =] (0)
