Pictues? WHAT!?  

Posted by Daniel in ,

Yes, yes, I know I've been very bad about pictures especially, not just posting. I'm sure you have noticed that my 365 project kinda died. Anyway, my family and I are goin to Austin this weekend, so y'all might just get some pictures. And if anyone knows of some really good places to eat, feel free to mention em.

TULIP Conclusion  

Posted by Daniel in , ,

Yes yes I know, it's been incredibly too long since I've blogged, but such is life. I was actually somewhat reminded of this by someone completing my blog form, only the 3rd person lol.

I'm so weird because its fun, and being "normal" is incredibly boring. So I hope that answers your first question. As for Perseverance of the Saints I've actaully already done a post on that, here is the link to it. However, I also need to finish up my TULIP series which includes it, so hopefully my post will be informative, and maybe you'll find something of interest in the other ones.



So here we go.
Here is my introductory post to my series. 
TULIP is an acrostic for the "Reformed" doctrines of:
Total Depravity
Unconditional Election
Limited Atonement
Irresistible Grace
Perseverance of the Saints

I hope that my series (while perhaps being long in finishing lol) has been useful to my readers.

Psalm 23  

Posted by Daniel in

Psalm 23
The Lord is my Shepperd; I shall not want.
He makes me lie down in green pastures.
He leads me beside still waters.
He restores my sould. 
He leads me in paths of righteousness for His names sake. 

Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, 
I shall fear no evil for you are with me;
Your rod and your staff, they comfort me.

You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies;
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days fo my life,
and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

For some reason this really seemed to fit with the rainy day we have been having.

I read this to my uncle multiple times the last time he was in the hospital. It seemed to calm him, even in his subdued state. He is truly beside still waters now.

Took me long enough...

Well I finally got around to making myself a formspring/formstack. For those of you who don't know what this is, they are a survey form run by the same company, just slightly different format. Well here it is, I would love to have every fill it out.

New and Interesting Experiance  

Posted by Daniel in

Well I had a very interesting experience at the farmers market today. A friend of one of the other vendors came up and asked me if I wanted to be a silent auction item. For those of you who don't quite get this, let me explain. There is a practice, generally for charities, where people will hold auctions of either guys or girls, and people bid on having a date with them. Basically it's a blind date on steroids. While I was extremely flattered by being asked to be one of the participants, I declined the invitation. I just thought there are those of you out there who would get a kick out of this, lol. Feel free to ask for further explanation if that didn't make sense.

Jesus and Animals  

Posted by Daniel in ,

I'm really not sure why I even thought about this the other day, but I did. I was wondering how animals reacted around Christ. As far as I am aware there are only two instances mentioned of Jesus around animals, the pigs that He sent the demons into, and then the donkey He rode into Jerusalem. However, these accounts really don't say anything about how the animals reacted to Christ. I was just wondering if animals reacted normally, or if they were extremely docile or something. Just random thought I had, any thoughts anyone?

Whoops....

Well I intended to blog about my first day at Katz coffee after my first day, monday night, but I was really tired. I then intended to do it yesterday after work, same situation... So here I am finally blogging about it on my third day. I started an internship with Katz coffee, a local coffee roaster, on Mon, learning to roast and all the other parts that go along with it, like packaging and such. I'm enjoying the roasting, its in a warehouse "outside" so its hot, and pretty dirty, but I enjoy doing it so it's really not that bad. So thats that, might take my camera one day and post some pics we'll see.
