Shotgun Preaching New Years Eve

2010-01-03T07:01:00.002-06:00

I have had the good fortune of attending Harvest Baptist Church here in South Korea. This New Years Eve, we celebrated by singing Hymns, testifying and what Pastor bill calls Shotgun Preaching. I was the second shotgun preacher and below is a link to the short sermon I gave. Enjoy.Video Here

That Blog Thing

2009-12-31T00:15:00.002-06:00

It's been 8 months since I last posted on here. I doubt anyone ever comes here to check on things anymore. Regardless I am going to start blogging again. I am going to try a commit to posting something once a week, and see how it goes from there. I would make this my New Years resolution but, then we know it would be destined for failure.

Thoughts from Korea

2009-04-05T22:36:00.002-05:00

Korea has been about what I have expected so far. It's not a bad place to be the hardest part of being here is the separation from my lovely wife and kids. I have learned to talk to God a lot more while be here, but recently have had trouble with my daily devotionals (that needs to improve!) I miss out on so much news with the time difference and as my brother said recently the news is so

Hello From Korea

2009-03-29T01:50:00.000-05:00

I'm still alive, and still plan on blogging. I have simply been busy and overwhelmed with everything that is going on in life these days. I am in Korea now and currently deployed to Daegu in support of FOAL Eagle, a defense exercise.Yesterday me and my counterpart MSgt Marshall went to visit the city of Daegu and experience some Korean culture. We explored two blocks of a restaurant district

Way to go Israel!

2008-12-30T18:21:00.002-06:00

For those who are unaware (Which I hope amounts to none), Israel has launched attacks against Hamas in the Gaza Strip. Hamas militants have been launching rockets almost hourly into Israel, killing and terrorizing innocent people, so in response the Israeli government has taken appropriate actions and used it's military to remedy the situation. Way to go! That is why we have governments.

Since I will shortly have an abundance of time on my hands I have set a goal to train myself so that I can compete in an Adventure Race. I have convinced my younger brother to team up with me, and it would be awesome to find to more people and run a 4 person team. The main reason why I am posting this here is because now I am truly committed to this goal being that it is public knowledge. Please

Movie Reviews

2008-12-24T12:31:00.001-06:00

Last night me and Melissa sat down together and watched Expelled by Ben Stein. Wow, everyone should see this movie! It is a great documentary on the debate between Intelligent design and evolution (It never really gets down into detail of either theory, it just shows how the scientific community refuses to treat ID with any legitimacy.) If you have netflix you can watch it online through the

Diversity Vomit

2008-12-14T18:37:00.001-06:00

In case it is not painfully obvious some people may be offended by this post. However the celebrate diversity concept is sickening, and another one of the horrible things wrong with our politically correct society. There is nothing wrong with being different from others (If that was the case I would have been locked up long ago), however the idea of celebrating peoples difference especially

Patriotism

2008-11-06T20:21:00.001-06:00

It has been on my mind to discuss this subject for some time. Certainly patriotism's application will be different for each individual, but the definition is concrete: -- devoted love, support, and defense of one's country; national loyalty. I'm not going to make the claim that a person needs to serve in the military in order to be a patriot, but if you really want to understand

It's over

2008-11-05T05:39:00.001-06:00

The election is over! That is great I was so sick of things, and now that the democrats have won I can finally shed the shackles of capitalism and without fear of the vast right wing conspiracy celebrate my new socialist masters! In all seriousness, congratulations to Obama and Biden although I do not agree with them on almost any issue I will pray for them as the assume leadership of

How Dangerous is Faith?

2008-10-14T13:34:00.001-05:00

I'm currently reading a book called The End of Faith, it's the kind of book where another atheist makes an attempt to "kill God." Every once in a while I like to read something like this just to see if any of the ideas are new or if it's all the same stuff rehashed in a new format (for this book the latter would be true.) What really stood out to me was this statement, aside from being

Race in light of POTUS 08

2008-10-13T16:40:00.001-05:00

I'm am going to say some things in my post today that are hard. Hard to say and hard to hear, but need to be said. Despite how far society has come since the days of segregation this election has been made into a racial issue. Those making it a racial issue are not the angry white voters who are members of fringe organizations, in fact I have not seen one news article or video from hate

I'm all for apologizing when we err, but the Church of England is now apologizing to Darwin!? DailyMailThe tragic part of this is (Pay close attention to the Bold):Church officials compared the apology to the late Pope John Paul II’s decision to say sorry for the Vatican’s 1633 trial of Galileo, the astronomer who appalled prelates by declaring that the earth revolved around the sun.The officials

In the most recent issue I was caught off guard reading an article on the Kim Jong Il the leader of North Korea written by one of his

The main story depicted on CNN.com today is the story of an unwed mother. The main story on Yahoo.com/news we see the events of Gustoff. Which is the more concerning issue here?

I'll let you decide.As far as the young

Over shadowed by the POTUS 08 race is the real news. Russia invading a country most of us have never heard of (Unless your a fan of the video game Splinter Cell.) Russia is moving on a course that is very scary and looks to me a hard course to reverse. They I think have realized how bad a mistake they have made and thrown some wild accusations out there blaming Israel and even the U.S. for

Something Senator Obama said Thursday night stood out among his normal make the world feel happy but don't say anything while doing it speeches. He stated that it is our "moral obligation to provide our children with a world class education." I wish I had the opportunity to question him at that point in his speech.Which children Senator Obama? Come on people! This is the guy who told Rick

Restoring America's Moral Authority??

2008-08-27T20:37:00.001-05:00

So listening to a speech from the DNC this week I heard someone and I can't remember who say that Obama was the candidate to restore our Country's moral authority. That is really funny in light of his pick for Vice President. As I learned Monday from some good freinds Joe Biden has a strange moral compass. Take into consideration his speech in 1987 Where he blatantly plagiarized a speech

Anger -- It's Okay Even on Sundays

2008-08-24T20:59:00.001-05:00

Some have asked me lately what I meant in my introduction by "I am a Christian, and I have a passion to restore a more masculineimage to the Christian Church (sorry ladies, but church has become wayto feminine and it needs to reverse direction)". Therefore today I would like to expand a little on this subject. Truthfully its no one thing, and men we have nobody to blame but ourselves

Human Suffering

2008-08-22T14:55:00.000-05:00

A recent reader of Fractured Perspicacity asked the question "what kind of God would let innocent children suffer"? The bigger question is if God allows suffering why would I follow Him? This is perhaps one of the most difficult things to answer, its not difficult because the answer is not available from God, but because its a hard thing to hear, especially when you are suffering.
