But it's a new season for me... and Tumblr is going to meet my needs... so long old friend... I shall visit you from time to time...<br />

If you know me personally, you know how frustrated I've been.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;"></div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;">I've tried everything to get it to stop. Layed off caffeine, slept more, even tried drinking Tonic water which is thoroughly disgusting. Nothing was really helping.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;">But praise the Lord, the new electric guitar player at <a href="http://www.realitycarp.com/">my church</a>, is also an Eye doctor... who, by the way, gladly gives 50% off to people who go to the church. Seeing that I'm still trying to figure out how to pay off the 6 grand I'm spending on my braces, this was welcome news.<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;">Anyways... as it turns out, my eye balls are slightly misaligned or something. Which would totally explain the twitch and random headaches I get. What this means is, shortly, I will be the owner of 2 pairs of glasses. One for my everyday wear and another for when I read or am on the computer (which I am about 90% of my day). </div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;">Hopefully all will be fixed....<br />
</div><div style="font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;">Random special fact about me, though. The Doc. dilated my eyeballs and then was completely in shock on how fast and big my eyes got! It's been 3 hours since my appointment, and this is what they still look like:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisry4gsIlN-2VzHezH8fS07u1DY91QeS_Ao2YWKVc8gQpjqgotE3r82894hWi1GThKJg0AYea-vcNLQc4tOPxZTv1l-iuut5iFN_fo8qM3x25rCixtbVztZzZb8oLHfwKP4RSg/s1600-h/Photo+11.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEisry4gsIlN-2VzHezH8fS07u1DY91QeS_Ao2YWKVc8gQpjqgotE3r82894hWi1GThKJg0AYea-vcNLQc4tOPxZTv1l-iuut5iFN_fo8qM3x25rCixtbVztZzZb8oLHfwKP4RSg/s400/Photo+11.jpg" /></a> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: "Courier New",Courier,monospace; text-align: left;">Luckily he gave me some "cool" glasses to help my poor eyes handle the light...</div><div style="text-align: left;"></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik46h1capwcfO2jq2uEwsl0EFtC9qCyffeaqDuYoWKHp8_a2iyW7FGuhlNT_fskmQjei20nfbpkSyy9XCw-qvwnUv7j1z9rCs7Gm1tgM5LReyk3z3hYLH8CK8MIHy_BnJepF3w/s1600-h/eyes.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEik46h1capwcfO2jq2uEwsl0EFtC9qCyffeaqDuYoWKHp8_a2iyW7FGuhlNT_fskmQjei20nfbpkSyy9XCw-qvwnUv7j1z9rCs7Gm1tgM5LReyk3z3hYLH8CK8MIHy_BnJepF3w/s320/eyes.jpg" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"></div>Kjaerehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05030415975302088566noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30927151.post-84552605988963106392009-05-11T18:49:00.000-07:002009-05-11T18:49:48.009-07:00Tweet Tweet!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8dLbzMo5Nb604Zq-I6vbewYZdyPHY47pmawc56lkwK86Y9Z2IPEIAMmT4sOvWTNoWvS8Wd2JcT0E8OOfe5Ydzx8UCAJ8i3W8-30VPzqSbvJMxk3TMedqdgGXhtED-Sxmzezrz/s1600-h/twitter_logo.gif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj8dLbzMo5Nb604Zq-I6vbewYZdyPHY47pmawc56lkwK86Y9Z2IPEIAMmT4sOvWTNoWvS8Wd2JcT0E8OOfe5Ydzx8UCAJ8i3W8-30VPzqSbvJMxk3TMedqdgGXhtED-Sxmzezrz/s400/twitter_logo.gif" border="0" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">I get grief all day long for using Twitter. People just don't seem to understand it. The same people who are updating their Facebooks everyday, don't even get it.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">The most basic explanation I can give of it, is it's like the Facebook status without everything else Facebook has to overwhelm you by. Just a status update pure and simple...<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">Now usually my Tweets are simple updates on my life or a way to let the world know to visit this here blog... but this last weekend I fell in love with Twitter even more.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;">There's a way in Twitter to make your Tweets show up in public searches. Now in my area there was a humongous <a href="http://cbs2.com/local/brush.fire.wildfire.2.1002397.html">fire</a>. The local <a href="http://www.keyt.com/">news</a> didn't update adequately for me at all. However, search in Twitter for <a href="http://twitter.com/#search?q=jesusitafire">#Jesusitafire</a>, and I was kept update and was able to link to all sorts of news and information. From people who suddenly saw fire in their backyard, to former firemen able to get close to the action. It was amazing.<br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;

Here's one of my favorite quotes: <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;"><b>"Sin is not simply doing bad things, it is putting good things in the place of God. </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>So the only solution is not simply to change our behavior, </b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>but to reorient and center the entire heart and life on God."<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i> page 171</i></span></b></div><br />
Why does God allow suffering in the world?<br />
How could a loving God send people to Hell? <br />
Why isn’t Christianity more inclusive?<br />
How can one religion be “right” and the others “wrong”?<br />
Why have so many wars been fought in the name of God?<br />
<br />
These are just a few of the questions and doubts even ardent believers wrestle with today. As the founding pastor of Redeemer Presbyterian Church in New York City, Timothy Keller has compiled a list of the most frequently voiced “doubts” skeptics bring to his church as well as the most important reasons for faith. And in <i>The Reason for God</i>, he addresses each doubt and explains each reason. <br />
<div style="text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: left;">Keller uses literature, philosophy, real-life conversations, and reasoning to explain how faith in a Christian God is a soundly rational belief, held by thoughtful people of intellectual integrity with a deep compassion for those who truly want to know the truth.<br />

It's been so sweet. Right now we are in Leviticus. As strange and hard to understand as some of the ancient practices and sacrifices are, I'm so amazed to see so many pictures of Jesus foreshadowed in the Old Testament.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglZZuN3jYj1WCUdj_69XWh5PvFsQzafU-t8_UKkBMxToVIJjs4oCmvm5cwkHLOV0AEMeHvVfrufqHIW_Y4ddk1rV2PETIaRUWoeAl_pEl8tkIrfE0oUbWov2Rmxqqxui_BffJA/s1600-h/mt121ful.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglZZuN3jYj1WCUdj_69XWh5PvFsQzafU-t8_UKkBMxToVIJjs4oCmvm5cwkHLOV0AEMeHvVfrufqHIW_Y4ddk1rV2PETIaRUWoeAl_pEl8tkIrfE0oUbWov2Rmxqqxui_BffJA/s320/mt121ful.jpg" style="cursor: move;" border="0" /></a></div>Check this out:<br /><br />Leviticus 17:11<br />"For the life of the flesh is in the <span style="color:red;">blood</span>, and I have given it to you on the altar <b>to make atonement</b> for your souls; for it is the <span style="color:red;">blood</span> <b>by reason of the life that</b> <b>makes atonement</b>..."<br /><br />Ephesians 5:1-2<br />"Therefore be imitators of God, as beloved children; and walk in love, just as Christ also loved you and<b> gave Himself up for us</b>, an offering and a <span style="color:red;">sacrifice</span> to God as a fragrant aroma."<br /><br /><b>Leviticus 17:14</b><br /><b> <span style="color:red;">"For as for the life of all flesh, <span style="font-size:180%;">its blood is identified with its life</span>... the life of all flesh is its blood..."</span></b><br /><br />I like this verse especially... we sing about it, we pray it, but it is so cool, to me at least, to see it in scripture and understand it better. Before Jesus, my life was identified with my fleshly works and that was only going to lead to destruction and eternal separation from God. But when I accepted the sacrifice of Jesus on my behalf, my life became identified with <span style="color:red;">HIS blood</span>. His atonement on my behalf transfers me from the bondage of my flesh into His glorious kingdom.

<br />
<div style="color: red; text-align: center;">John 15:5 </div><div style="color: red; text-align: center;">"I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing." </div><br />
I could talk a lot about what it means to abide and all that is wrapped up in that, but recently God showed me a neat picture of what the outcome of of <b>Abiding</b> looks like... the fruit part. <span><strong></strong></span><br />
<br />
I was thinking about what it meant to produce good fruit. <a href="http://www.blueletterbible.org/tools/printerFriendly.cfm?b=Gal&c=5&v=1&t=NASB">Galatians 5:22-23</a> talks about what the fruits of the spirit are (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control)... however, I was also thinking about fruit literally.<br />
<br />
A tree, that is properly watered, with good solid roots is going to produce healthy fruits. Not only is the fruit a sign of a healthy tree, but the fruit has a purpose.<br />
<ol><li>To provide nourishment to those who would partake of it </li>
<li>To plant seeds so that other trees can grow </li>
</ol>How cool is that, when you look at how your life should be in accordance with the Word of God!<br />
