What's this life about anyways?
And you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength (Mark 12:30)
But if we walk in the Light as He himself is in the Light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus His Son cleanses us from all sin (1 John 1:7)
But speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ (Eph 4:15)
These verses are all verses that our church is collectively memorizing. Each of these verses tie into a purpose for our live.
- To Please God - Worship
- To Belong in God's Family - Fellowship
- To Become like Christ - Growth
This is what living is really all about. It isn't about the things of this world but a chance to get to worship the father in heaven, fellowship with other believers and grow in Christ.
This series at church has been an interesting time of personal reflection. Changing attitudes and lifestyle to align myself closer with the God that I serve.
Having a baby really makes one think. It puts this "life" thing into perspective. What am I living for? What example do I want to be to my children? and What will my Children take from my life. It is time to get serious.

McCain or Obama
- Abortion - This is a big issue for me. I cannot vote for a candidate that believes Abortion is a viable alternative. This goes again my moral code of ethics. This also puts me on the republican ticket the majority of the time. Last night Obama tried to reason his pro-choice votes but it comes down to the fact that he is pro-choice. Bottom line I have to go for McCain.
No I think and expect some criticism for this, which is fair that is part of the lovely country we live in. Each person can make their decision based upon their own belief system and what they feel is best. We do not have to agree, or like what the other person says ..and at the end of the day That's OK!!!. For me human life is more important than Money, economic issues, etc. That is why i vote Pro-Life. I think Roe v Wade was one of the greatest upsets in American history
- Economics - This is another issues (much smaller one than Abortion) I worry about both of the Senators plans. I do not think either of them have proven themselves to be an economic savior. Obama announced the other day that his plan would allow for people to take money out of the 401K's penalty free for a period of time. If this happens - look out. Economic chaos continues. McCain on the other hand does not have any brilliant ideas either (although I do like the limited government approach). American has spent itself into a problem. We pay Medicare- which we cannot afford, we borrow from any country that will give it. We need to scale back spending in a major way. Limit the "perks" of government. Pay people that deserve it (teachers, police, fireman,) decent salaries but cut back on Congress' salaries. Why is my state senator making $160K a year and my teachers $30,000K
- Health Care is another issue they touched on last night. I don't think anyone has a great plan. Obama thinks socialized health care is the answer...scary on many levels. McCain thinks that the government should stipend you for your health care - why? When has health care became a right of living in America? If we focused on creating jobs and benefited the company's for providing health care packages there need for health care would largely be met....
End of the day either candidate will not be able to do what they say. The presidential position is much more of a figure head than what we often think. Congress is votes and passes through the majority of what is decided on. And as a christian I am called to respect either candidate that gets elected.
Romans 13 1-2
1. Every person is to be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. 2. Therefore whoever resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God ; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves.

Class is kicking my butt

Our earthly mission is short, just a glimpse of what eternity is. The important things on earth are those things which will carry forward in Heaven. So as I said above Education, Social Acceptance, Salary, possession are not important but rather Spiritual Education, Godly Acceptance, doing God's will, and spreading the good news about Jesus is.

Today was it, the doctor told me I was looking at my child. He even pointed out the hear beat which would've been way cool...if I knew what he was pointing at. It was cool though to see him point out the head and etc.
We also had an interesting experience when it came time to pay the bill which made me think just how vulnerable people are at certain times in their live. Example is having a baby. This is our first baby, neither Candace and I have been through anything like this before so we take everything at face value. The doctor says pay this much..we say sure because we think we are suppose to and we are to excited to argue. After talking to a few people with prior experience and my mom with medical billing experience we realized that the doctor is not "helping" us but looking out for his best interest.
This is a good lesson to learn early on, watch out for people, ask questions, and don't assume that people are doing things the correct way.
enough with the downer! Enjoy the video of Lil' Yak!
