Hey, blogging about nothing and everything here...how are you? (aliens and sin. is there a connection?)

I'm going to tell you what i've been thinking about today. Everything and nothing. Sound exciting? It sure is. Let me explain, i've had a lot on my mind today but since i'm still really tired and really jet lagged and have done nothing all day except lie around, play with the siblings, and do some chores. Exciting, as i said earlier, is the only word to describe it. So most of the day i was thinking about nothing. And some of the day i was thinking about EVERYTHING! And by everything i mean every. Yes, including monkeys, heists, chicken nuggets, kohupiim, verivorst...the list goes on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on! But anyway here is how one of my little sessions of thought went. "how come nothing interesting ever happens to me? I mean, i've never even had a close family member or significent other killed in front of me by aliens! how boring a life i must have. it would be so cool if as i screamed 'NOOO!!!' a significent other was killed and then i'd go on a mad rampage of judgement against the alien race. man...i've been playing to much Advent Rising." so that was my joking around thinking but then i did the stupid thing i always do. i started to REALLY think. and i thought about how not cool it would be to see someone i loved killed. and how though it may look cool in the vid games to shoot the crap out of anything that moves...well, i just don't believe real life would be so fun.

and then i got to the serious deep thinking junk and it hit me. i HAVE seen friends, family and way to many young attractive females (so what would be potential significent others) shot down right in front of my eyes. but not by anything human. oh no. and not alien either. well, some might consider it alien. i've seen them shot down by sin. ouch! that's the worst! shot down in the high point of victory. so anyway, that was my general thought process and then it hit me. (things kept hitting me today, so i should probably be in pain) how come when i thought about aliens killing my loved ones i was ready go grab a gun a spill some blood? but when i thought about all the people i care about shooting themselves in the foot with their own sin...i sighed in defeat? what's with that? and then that hit me. (more hitting, this could get violent...) i sigh in defeat because i know that just as much as i've watched people i care about get shot down by their own sin they've all watched me get blasted by mine. i know that just as much as the world needs saving i need it too. so then i decided something (or you could say it hit me, but that's getting old) i'm gonna sharpen up my sword and do some fighting. there's an evil "alien" empire attacking earth and we're sitting on our swords pulling out the enemies weapons and shooting ourselves! that's upsetting! therefore i'm gonna sharpen up my sword and jump into the thick of the fray! maybe throw a few Monty Python holy hand grenades...that type of thing. so anyway, there's another post i'm quite sure why i blogged. but now it's time to suit up and move out! or get a good night's rest so i can suit up and move out tommorow, yeah, i *yawn* like that last one. so good night, suit up and Cya in the thickest!

g'day,
that's awesome insight, and i want to encourage you in that fight, you are called for it, get a righteous anger in you and stand and fight in Christ, against the enemy. Remember, never to rely on your own strength, cause you are not strong enough, or own direction, cause you don't see the whole picture, but rely on God's strength, and seek His direction.
And walk in True Humility, knowing that you are no better then others, but also know who you are in Christ.
Lov ya mate, miss ya, especially when i read in your blog about hiests and monkeys and the like.
May you fully grow/learn more of who you are in Christ.
i reckon you can guess who this is so i am not signing it.
