The House of Prayer

If I could snap my fingers and change one thing... I wish I would pray more. PS 118 vs 5-9 says ”In my anguish I cried to the LORD, and he answered by setting me free. 6 The LORD is with me; I will not be afraid. What can man do to me? 7 The LORD is with me; he is my helper. I will look in triumph on my enemies. 8 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in man. 9 It is better to take refuge in the LORD than to trust in princes.”. I saw this house and had to take a picture of it. It reminded me of how much things can fall apart when we do not take things to heart. We might talk about prayer, we might call days of prayer, we might even blog about prayer, but if we do not do it, nothing will happen. I think I will go call out to God.

The Dark Knight... the hopelessness...

Just saw The Dark Knight last night. A good movie from a movie standpoint, but hopelessness from a message stand point. The Joker seems to be most vulnerable (no armor, no guns, no vehicles, etc) yet everything goes his way...not even a scratch. Yes yes, his makeup does seem to run from time to time, but not a scratch, no blood, not even pain. Take this one scene, Batman gives him a royal beating, slams his head into a table, breaks a glass window with him, yet no visible signs of anything, but a little fatigue.  Where all the other characters in the movie all have scars, cuts, pain, etc. the joker on the other hand has a joyfully happy time. There is some insight to the Jokers past and why he is who he is, but it is so overshadowed by the carnage around him, that his past is quickly forgotten.  Evil just seems to triumph over good. Yes there are a few redeeming moments, where the people of Gothom show mercy to each other, but the darkness of the movie left me with a sad cloud the following morning. Maybe, that is the whole idea of this batman series.

In the end, I am thankful we do not exist in a universe where things are left to random chance, a flip of a coin. In stead all things are by the order of a living holy God, willed with mercy and long suffering to all who worship Him.

Kill them with Love

www.KurtAspland.com
On the eve of Fourth of July–we can change the world if only we would love our neighbor. But this starts out at home first. For me it begins by showing love toward those who are near me. My wife. In this day of divorce this is must not be neglected, nor taken advantage of. My children. Remain patient in all circumstances, slow to anger. My Neighbor, caring and wanting their well being. The most important of all my enemy.

Depravity T-shirt design
I love it when people start a internet based company that could not work in anyother format. Here is what I mean... I found this company on the web called Threadless. They are nothing more than a t-shirt printing company. What is cool, is that they encourage anyone to submit a T-shirt design for printing. Then they put that design up for a vote to the web community. If the design receives enough votes they print the shirt. That vote tells them that people will buy that shirt before they even print it. Is that awesome. Anyhow, so if you like my shirt please go to the site and vote for it.
Thanks
