Evolutionists Flock To Darwin-Shaped Wall Stain

Funny; Darwin evolved from mold.

I had to have a little mold removed when I sold my last house. Bet I would have gotten more for the house if it had one of those pictures. Better yet, I could have charged admission.

A Classic Guitarist meets a Classic Rock Guitarist

Went to see Joe Satriani play on Sunday (19, Keswick Theatre Glenside, PA US); what an awesome performance. The Man totally rips on guitar! He also had Leslie West of “Mountain” open for him.

I remember seeing Mountain perform at “Max Myers Park - Oakland St & Magee Ave Philadelphia, PA 19149” in the 80’s.
Get Directions The classic rock guitar player astonished me back then; and again tonight. Both guitarists are masters of their own style of rock. Joe ended the night by asking Leslie West to perform the song “Goin Down” with him. Hearing both these guys trading solos just floored me. Satriani is clearly a leader at commanding his guitar to scream, laugh, cry, and through chunks at will. I kept hearing this little voice telling me “Bob, you need to practice”.

Cuba Gooding Jr.

I’m not sure how people are going to take what I am about to say; but in my opinion, Cuba Gooding Jr. does some of his best work in the movie, “Jerry McGuire” (while a bit coarse). Whether from a comedic or serious point of view, his character of “Rod Tidwell” dramatizes his ability to become whatever a movie needs to be great. The acting I loved the most in the movie was performed by him and Renée Zellweger. This is not to take away from the performance that Bonnie Hunt (a classic actress), or Jonathan Lipnicki (as child) delivered. I just personally feel that Cuba Gooding Jr. takes the audience on that bipolar rollercoaster of believable excitement which carries the movie through its scene.

Why am I gaining weight when I exercise?

When a specific volume of fat is weighed against the same volume of muscle, the fat weighs less. This is because the fat has less density than the muscle. For this reason, if we exercise it is feasible to gain weight (due to building muscle), before losing it (by losing more weight in fat).

This shows the importance of a healthy diet (as in, a life of routinely eating right; not a quote, unquote Diet program), and cardiovascular exercise. Cardio exercise focuses on raising the heart rate, which in turn burns fat. This mixed with muscle building exercise can grow calorie burning-muscles that also assist in burning fat.

Yes; this is a balance that I have been struggling with since my heart-attack in June. It is hard for me to keep a healthy diet when having constant gastritis and taking 11 pills every day; five of which are for the chest and stomach pain caused by my inflamed esophagus.

However, maintaining a good balance of exercise, Body Mass Index (BMI), muscle mass, and diet is important for everyone. I have found that joining a Gym and being diligent with scheduling time to go during each week helps. So, when you find yourself gaining a little weight at the beginning of your workout, don’t get discouraged. Press-on and you will begin to see the scale easing its way back down.

Remember, I am not a professional dietitian; so always consult a physician before making changes to your diet and exercise routines.

I've got the piece of paper

You might be wondering why I have been spending more time on my website. It’s because school is out (at least for me). Believe it or not! I graduated from the University of Phoenix with a 3.28 GPA (that’s a “B” average). Now I have a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology (a - BSIT). It may have taken me until the ripe old age of 45, but it still feels good.

One Nation under God: Unity in Christ

When I think of the saying, “One Nation under God”, I think of something even more important than the Pledge of Allegiance; rather, the Kingdom of Heaven. In Revelation chapter 21 through 22, the Bible speaks of a new Heaven and a new earth where all nations will come together in unity as the Bride of the Lamb: “…those whose names are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life…God’s holy people.” This weighed with Galatians 3:28 (for we are all one in Christ Jesus) and Colossians 3:11 (where everyone is equal in importance when in Christ), it is clear that racial differences are absolutely meaningless. In fact, every form of racism is considered non-Christian. When in Christ, we are new creatures belonging to a new nation and unified under our one true God. More astounding, we are called to love all other believers as the family of Christ, and in so doing, we are witnesses before the world testifying of our authenticity as Christians (a new Nation).

“A new commandment I give unto you: that you love one another, as I have loved you, that you also love one another. By this shall all men know that you are My disciples: if you have love one for another.” - John 13:34-35 KJV

Allow “where we are going” to define who we are (citizens of Heaven); not “where we have been.”

God so loved the World

I had the opportunity to hear Shane Claiborne speak at Bethel Fellowship today; and while I probably wouldn’t hold to all his views, I thought he was a very provocative speaker for Christ. From his message, the most profound image I walked away with was that God loves the world. What I mean is; there are no exceptions to the statement of John 3:16.

"For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” - John 3:16

Why did God omit the portion of that statement that would be in agreement with our human nature, “except for the bad people” or “except for all evildoers?” It is so easy for us to say, “God loves the world except for… people like”:

Adolf Hitler
Osama bin laden
Muslims
The Unsaved
Abortionists
Homo sexuals
Divorced individuals
People in other churches
Druggies and Alcoholics
People who surf the Internet for porn
People who hate their neighbors
Anyone who has ever stolen
Anyone who has ever lied
A brawler
An argumentative person
A Sinner

Rather, what I find in scripture is:

(1) Christ is a friend of Sinners (meaning brining salvation to all) - Matthew 11:19, Luke 7:34

(2) “But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we (no exceptions) were yet sinners, Christ died for us. (Including you & me)” - Romans 5:8

I know that the point is; all of us deserve condemnation, but God loves us all enough to give us the Lamb (Jesus) as the ultimate sacrifice for our sins.

(3)Everyone who sins is breaking God’s law, for all sin is contrary to the law of God.- 1 John 3:4

(4) For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: Whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God; To declare, I say, at this time his righteousness: that he might be just, and the justifier of him which believeth in Jesus. Romans 3:23-3:26

(5) For the wages of sin (all and every sin) is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. - Romans 6:23

The more amazing thing to see here is that salvation through Jesus is offered to everyone, including you and me. No matter who we are, if we turn to God for forgivness we will not be refused. “…that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” No one is beyond salvation, being saved, or being pleasing before our God. God loves us! God loves you!!!
