I just had to…

I just had to post this video after watching it over at Rick Smith’s Blog & I think you’ll understand why after seeing it.

I’ve placed the transcript below which is also available here on the original post from John Piper at the Desiring God Blog.

It’s a magnificent thing: The only newly-originating life in the universe that comes in the image of God is Man. The only newly-originating life in the universe that lasts forever is Man.

This is an awesome thing.

And, as everyone knows, that reverence is not shared by our new President, over whom we have rejoiced.

He is trapped and blind in a culture of deceit. On the 36th anniversary of Roe v. Wade, he released this statement,

We are reminded that this decision not only protects women’s health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters.

To which I say:

* No, Mr. President, you are not protecting women; you are authorizing the destruction of 500,000 little women every year.
* No, Mr. President, you are not protecting reproductive freedom; you are authorizing the destruction of freedom for one million little human beings every year.
* No, Mr. President, killing our children is killing our children no matter how many times you call it a private family matter. You may say it is a private family matter over and over and over, and still they are dead. And we killed them. And you, would have it remain legal.

Mr. President, some of us wept for joy at your inauguration. And we pledge that we will pray for you.

We have hope in our sovereign God.

(From the sermon: “The Baby in My Womb Leaped for Joy.”)

In The Mean Time…

It’s been awhile since my last post & hopefully I’ll be finishing up the new design soon. In fact there is a series of posts that should be coming live soon that I think you’ll enjoy. But, in the mean time I saw this and laughed. At first I thought maybe it was just the day I had yesterday that made me laugh at this. But after watching it again I’ve come to this conclusion: It Was Just Funny! In fact when I first saw it someone poked their head into my office and accused me of liking country music. Which I suppose that it’s time for a confession “I actually don’t mind country music”.

So in the mean time…

Man It’s Been Awhile…

I just cleared through the posts in Google Reader and caught up on the blogs that I enjoy reading and realized that i’ve neglected to post anything here as of late. In fact I logged in to see 10 posts that still sit there unpublished. I have no intentions on publishing those posts since alot has transpired since the fingers graced hit those keys. There have been alot of changes as of late in the Anderson Household. Amazing changes, but with those have came some adjustments and lets just say that I’m finally getting settled in to the new schedule & can’t wait to bring some actual life back to this little place I call home.

A question to leave with those few readers that venture this way. In creating my reading list for next year what is the one book that has had the most lasting impression in your life to date?

The Dust Settled but I didn’t…

It’s been awhile and I’ve honestly missed this place. As stupid as it sounds i just wasn’t liking the design so much that it was actually pushing me to not post. So here I enter with a “temporary” design that just feels better and will hopefully renew the fun that it started with. Besides life has been to good not to share. So if you’re here and reading this then check back for more changes and alot more updates.

Coming Soon…

I gots something brewing like a fresh pot of coffee. Only better! (if that’s possible)

Ramblings…

Like I said before I’m addicted (again excuse the negative connotation) to reading blogs. There’s just something about hearing the voice of God through other people in the context of life. I’ve noticed something interesting. The best of the bloggers out there seem to flow in a certain direction with their writing. Some Apostolic Bloggers have even put together whole series of posts discussing the topic of having a “Vision for your Blog!” I completely agree and can even see this for myself eventually. This brings me to my point, since coming back and cleaning up all of the old posts are starting this blog out fresh. (new design coming by the way) I was looking at my tag line “Caffeine Induced Ramblings” when the word Ramblings caught my eye.

ram·ble noun –verb (used without object)

1.	to wander around in a leisurely, aimless manner: They rambled through the shops until closing time.

2.	to take a course with many turns or windings, as a stream or path.

3.	to grow in a random, unsystematic fashion: The vine rambled over the walls and tree trunks.

4.	to talk or write in a discursive, aimless way (usually fol. by on): The speaker rambled on with anecdote after anecdote.

–verb (used with object)

5.	to walk aimlessly or idly over or through: They spent the spring afternoon rambling woodland paths.

–noun

6.	a walk without a definite route, taken merely for pleasure.

So many people live life this way, they aimlessly wander around through life without a definite route. Don’t get me wrong there are a lot of things about life that are pretty random. I just don’t want to be that guy. I don’t want to be the guy that at the end of the day looks at what was known as his life & sees a trail of what could’ve & should’ve been a great and impactful life but really looks a lot more like a windy road of pleasure. So what’s the point? As far as my life goes, I refuse to Ramble. In regards to this blog, for now, well…

Well Here We Go!

to be completely honest if only for myself, since it’s really impossible that anyone else is reading this web-journal called a blog since this is my first post. i’ve become “addicted” although that word usually holds those ooh so negative connotations it’s the best fit. so like i said i’ve become addicted to reading these blogs. I can’t count how many times my heart has been quickened to prayer, or sensed my spirit rise in anticipation shouting from the inside “that’s what i want!” Although I’m sure there will be readers, for now the intent of this blog is to bring those things that are deep down inside to the surface. I am a writer by no means! (in fact i don’t even use punctuation or grammar in emails, pretty much just one big long sentence!) so this might not be the blog of an aspiring English major, but prayerfully it will be as another blogger put it “pieces of fuel for our own burning hearts”
