ezekiel- the dude ate a scroll, and it tasted like chicken(or in there time honey)

2006-01-20T15:00:00.000-08:00

sorry mr selyer that might be a little blasphemic (?) so since class time with the one and only mr seyler, ive really been getting into ezekiel. and its an awesome weird weird weird awesome book. basically it opens up with a little freaky scene. if this was real, i probly wouldnt be conscious to get past the first four seconds of this thing, and if it was a dream (vision) then he had some nasty peperoni pizza like right before he went to bed. anyways it lays out this big old scene and then these tings start talking to him.

they basically say thats israel is headed for destruction and YOUR the man (with Gods help of course).

so lets get this straight. theres this big old scehne, two aliens come out and say that he has to go save the who country of the ever so faithful isreal. sounds alot like another dude huh? i never really thought of them both in one spot before, buts its kinda cool to think about.

so after this, basically this alien says eat whatever you find here (kinda l;ike when we were kids and we like hide bugs and say "Eat whatever is in here") well then he pops out these scrolls. so now im like- what does ezekile got himslef into? but then he just pops them in. and we hear the phrase of their time (kinda like how we say everybody and there mom, beack then theyd say everybody and their camel) and so he says their modern day "tastes like chicken" "mmm tastes like honey"

so i mihg thave played a little sarcasm into all of this but thats ok. so i dont know what the whole scoop is with the scrool thing, bbut one thing i do know is that God's words were on it. and ezekiel said they were like honey. do i EAT gods words? no, lets not all start ripping pages out and see what flavor they are, but do we truly enjoy Gods words? do we eat them up? sorry about the we's, put i's into them. do i get done reading God's words and go "mmm tastes like chicken!"? maybe i should start...........

I HATED GOD (and somtimes still do) PART 1

2005-12-19T17:56:00.000-08:00

terrible thing to say right. i know what everyone is thinking. no way! well as much as i hate to say it, i did. sure i didnt go out and blow God off and go my own way, well in a way i did (THE GO MY OWN WAY THING, not the flip God off which even if i did it owuldnt matter, cuz he joy doesnt bank on if i love Him today or not, hard pill for me to swallow.)
But in James 4:4
4You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred toward God? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God.

here it is in the amplified version
4You [are like] unfaithful wives [having illicit love affairs with the world and breaking your marriage vow to God]! Do you not know that being the world's friend is being God's enemy? So whoever chooses to be a friend of the world takes his stand as an enemy of God.

hard pill to swallow. for the longest time i just shrugged that verse off, and didnt take it seriously, but look at it! it lays it out plain and simple. and for the longest time i was on the wrong side. i find myself looking towards even now somtimes. well thats gotta stop. some of you know my weakest points, my struggles, where i fall the easiest. and no im not perfect but no ive been too lazy about it as well. and if my life is held up to the Mirror, i would be marked as a hater of God. and that kills me to say it.

gotta go, finals tomorow, ill finish this soon, im speakig on this in chapel january 17, so you guys will get a sneak peakm but i got to go (hence the part one)

so just in case you're wondering, relient k put on probably the best show ive ever seen. it was awesome. the band interacted with the crowd well, they had alot of different uses of instuments such as banjos and bells and just put on a great show. also it was packed. ill show you some pictures, alot of them turned out bad because it was so crowded.

this is the opening band named rufio, actually there was a band before them neamed "GO, BETTY,GO" and they stunk beyond words, leterally beyong words the were terrible. but anyways this is rufio they were pretty good

and here is my hero- matt theisson he was amazing, they opened with the family metters theme song, and then they did the full house theme song as well it was pretty sweet!

ive found it

2005-11-01T13:59:00.000-08:00

hor-hay has a blog, i found it its www.hor-hayschwab.blogspot.com anyways things are going pretty good, kaitlyn was in town this weekend that was awesome to spend some time with her in person. school is going pretty good getting used to it kinda. not much else to tell though so i guess ill talk to everyone later

heyheyhey

2005-10-24T15:16:00.000-07:00

just got dont looking through all of the xanga's haha you losers. its a cult over there. BLOGSPOT IS GOD!!!! just kidding anyways school was pretty good today now that its over. alot of things have been on my mind lately

if you could love me as a wife
and for my wedding gift, your life
should that be all i’ll ever need
or is there more i’m looking for
and should i read between the lines
and look for blessings in disguise
to make me handsome, rich, and wise
is that really what you want

(chorus)

i am a whore i do confess
but i put you on just like a wedding dress
and i run down the aisle
i’m a prodigal with no way home
but i put you on just like a ring of gold
and i run down the aisle to you

so could you love this bastard child
though i don’t trust you to provide
with one hand in a pot of gold
and with the other in your side
i am so easily satisfied
by the call of lovers less wild
that i would take a little cash
over your very flesh and blood
(chorus)
because money cannot buy
a husband’s jealous eye
when you have knowingly deceived his wife

that song is called wedding dress by derek webb, if you skipped it go up and read it again- like derek said, this song is offending to the reader. and it is whore? bastard? he said that? makes you think, arent we so much like that though, james said in james (what a coincidence) 4 - You aldulterous people! how often do we try to live out "Jesus is better" when we have our hand in a pot of GOld and one in his side. we are so foolish, the day we take our hand out of the pot of gold is the day Jesus becomes real in his fullnes

God help me to do that

hey everyone

2005-10-23T17:50:00.000-07:00

hey everyone hows it going, im ok. theres alot going on right now. i have alot to think about- alot of different things goin on. ok im repeating myself. i really dont want to go to school tomorow. at all. i know my bible teacher reads this periodically so he can read it- i dont want to go to school i want to stay at home or be somewhere else. i hate getting into this school routine you can caught up in this routinial (word?) lifestyle. i just want variety in my life. i know i sound all sappy and sad and part of me is there alot of things that could be going better, but hey Jesus died on the cross for me what more could i want? anyways praises on fire was awesome it was a pretty cool time, besides the fact i was absolutely freezing and i had a ton on my mind- i went to the johnsons house before that and it was sweet that family rocks they just kept feeding me and feeding me it was AWESOME. after me and caleb left mrs johnson said she wanted me and caleb to come over monthly and clean out their kitchen HOW AWESOME IS THAT. anyways im gunna hit the road

REVOLUTION

there ben the fearless leader- glad to have him back with the band, we had a little scare for a while as to who was gunna lead, but they stuck with ben praise the Lord. notice the guitar hes playing, his martin. its about the coolest guitar ever! (not for a cheap price though!)

there the heart (Or beat) of the band, upon my opinion hes the coolest drummer ever, besides the fact hes plays with his hat on sideways and his mouth open!

Luke hardie- probly the most talented guitar player around, (Now that seth moved) great guitar player

and of course me, the deep low rumble of the band, and im not just a good farter- i also play the bass, georgia is her name.

and of course the female vocals of the band- theres bime (hannah nemmers) getting the crowd into it and katie moulten thanks drue for all the great pictures

hey everyone

2005-09-11T19:32:00.000-07:00

hey everyone hows it going. im doing pretty good- still trying to get in the jist of school and the whole routine jazz- soon enough ill be done with this year, and then my senior year, and then ill be off too college, then ill be done with college, and then ill dive into the ministry and get married and have kids and everything else mani cant wait. anyways im taking my baby step towards that plan tomorow by going to school. fun fun. there is a junior high game and then a jv game so im perty exited for that.

anywya si wanna share a verse with everyone that has been so bluntly on my mind lately i just cant get it out-
Luke 14:26 (NIV)-If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters-yes, even his own life- he cannot be my disciple.

thats a POWERFUL verse, i have been stuck on it for so long. now i know were not supposed to go off and hate our moms and dads and what not- but he uses that word doesnt he? look again he uses the word hate. now i know i know "in comparison to our walk with God thats what it would be like" that true- but thin kabout this for a second- he uses the word hate. that means that we should love GOd SO much that when you put our walk with God up against our relationship with our moms and dads, spouces and children (you married kids out there), our brothers and sisters- it should seem like we hate them compard to how much we love God. wow. and heres that hard part, ever God realizes it in the verse- yes, even our own life. we should love God SO much that everything else seems like nothing. thats hard. i cant say that about myself at all. whcih is sad cuz in the verse he says "if anyone comes to me" not if "i go to you" no it says if anyone comes to me- I WANT TO GO TO GOD! I WANT TO BE A DISCIPLE FOR GOD! i hear people say that all the time- even me. but do we really know what it costs?

thats just been laying heavily on my mind lately.
here it is in the message

"ANyone who comes ot Me but refuses to let go of his father, mother, spouce, children, brother, sister-yes, even one's OWN SELF-can't be my disciple."

i wonder what it would have been like ot be there when he said that.

thats about it for me id love to hear from you so leave a not

the common human defection to which i had never gotten before

2005-09-02T16:54:00.000-07:00

i couldnt remember the last time i had a headache before today and last night. but today i got a headache. maybe im a wimp cuz i never get them, but it was bad- i coudlnt walk straight, the light hurt my eyes, and it hurt to move my eyes. so i went home after first hour, cried all the way home from school ( mostly because i had a headache) then i liad in my ben from 930-3 trying to get some sleep, but i coudlnt. so then i started feeling better after a while.

i could be at kaitlyns house right now, hor-hay and his fmaily left today at 12, and i had an invite, but my parentals wouldnt let me go- im trying my hardest not to angry at them for not letting me go, cuz i really want to see her.

i met with drue and josh jackson last night, it was pretty sweet, were gunna meet on a regular basis. im in drues small group again this year, to which i am pumped.

today during sons of thunder (guys meet early before school) we watched a sermon by louie giglio- for the second time, and i almost cried. im gunna by the dvd and make all o my friends watch it.

other than that not too much is going on, just sitting back trying to enjoy my long weekend on the tale enf of a 24 hour flu and trying not to think about how i could be spending the weekend with kaitlyn.

everyone have a good weekend

hello hello hello

2005-08-29T14:11:00.000-07:00

irs was awesome, the change is awesome, God was glorfied through that week. me and nilius have already started talking about ways we can impact our peers and younger peers, me and josh jackosn have already talked about how we can keep e/o accountable the week was awesome....

2005-08-24T14:06:00.000-07:00

irs is tomorow- i am pumped NO SCHOOL. and dave tebbenkamp is speaking, that guy rocks. im exited to see what he has to say. i am speaking ot my class as well, about what i think is one of the biggest problems eating away at christians, and the place where satans loves to get us. above pot, drugs, sex, violence, or anything that we christians today label "really bad."

theres a chruch in revalation 3 that has the same problem. they are lukewarm, useless. SURE they were a great church, they werent dealing drugs, lending out prostitutes or anything. heck they even gave ten percent, they are pretty good christians...

back way back whewn spain was a major leader, in fact they believed they owned all the land that was possible to own. so they put up big old statue that said BEYOND THIS POINT THERE IS NO MORE. and that was it.

today in our lives satan has put a sign around our neck that says BEYOND THIS POINT THERE IS NO MORE. and we start to believe weve learned all we can know about God.

well there this fellow that goes by the name of christipher colombus and he found a little bit more. so in time spain had to change that sign.

we ask chrisitans have gottten so content in our walk with God that we sit were we are (not knowing that in reality were only backsliding) and satan puts a big old sign around our neck that says BEYOND THIS POINT THERE IS NO MORE that is the BIGGEST wad of bull ive ever heard in our lives, and satan loves it when we believe it. loves it. no where not smoking pot or having sex all the time while where drunk, but were good kids right? i fear that GV has to many people like that, starting with me the perceptioon christian have of God today is so little. way to little. i hope our school can get to the point where we blow that sign off and blow those doors out and realize that there is so much more.

ever have one of those days?...

2005-08-22T14:52:00.000-07:00

ever have one of those days where your guitar is your only friend? weeelll it wasnt one of those days, i jsut am playing my guitar alot tonight,i really want to get better at six string because my bass doesnt do much when im by myself. andyways im bored so i thought id post again

cya

first one

2005-08-22T13:55:00.000-07:00

so i decided to make one of these---- first day of school today. it was school. im exited for some classes though. i dont wanna lie to ya- i dont wanna go to school. but God told me somthing today. i was sitting in class and all i could think about was how this high school needs christ. maybe not for salvation (although many are needing that) i was thinking how those who are saved arent living it, if they would the school would be way different. And i was thinking to myself, maybe i need to step it up! i can name off good Godly leader in the high school, but what about my class? ---- So I prayed if it were my year then God would give me way s to step it up.

Another thing is my youth group- Ben's gone. He was a hardcore leader, Tony is gone- Another hardcore leader. the youth group is in need of a student leader, and i believer God is calling me to step it up! please dont think im getting a big head or anything (to whoever reads this) the fact is this- i know where God has me, and thats in the Youth ministry, and the time is now for me to step it up-- God Help me to do that.
