Blogs....


I just noticed how I fall short in the blog area. I just spent the last 15-20 minutes checking out people's blogs that I don't know....talk about weird. I saw blogs that were online for the past year taking the identity of Pickard from Star Trek to a woman that has posed as Padme and talks about Obi and Anakin. I have seen a guy that is a bouncer at a club and 30 second clips of popular movies reenacted by bunnies. If only I too could up with an alter ego or a crazy way of living....
I know what I can be....I can be a crazy goggle wearing person that goes to church campouts, discipleship retreats, sings praise music at the top of my lungs, pretend like I am pilgrim, that this isn't my home and I am just passing through. But until then I will just have to be a humble goggle wearing goof.....until I get the memo that it is time for me to come home.......until then my fellow aliens......

The Da Vinci Code

I know...I know... I know... everybody is so sick of hearing of the media that goes with this. I am the kind of guy that purposely ignores the going ons with this kind of stuff. I phased out The Da Vinci Code until now.....

The other day I was listening to one of the two good( I'm being generous with good) radio stations here in Winona, and a D.J. went to the theater to see the movie and what all the hub-bub was about. After the movie he returned to his car to find a flyer underneath a windshield wiper. Picking up the wiper, he started to read the flyer, it was deposited by a local church telling him that was going to burn in hell for seeing the movie.....I was immediatly angry.....chapter and verse please....my Bible says that not knowing Jesus as your Lord and Savior is what keeps from spending the rest of eternity with Christ. The church should be ashamed for all the protesting and all of the different tactics that "Church People" use when this stuff comes down the pike.
The best way that I have seen this handled was by a priest, from LaCrosse, on the television. He said,"One thing have to remember that when we are getting bent out of shape on this Book and movie is that it is in the fiction section." We are supposed to be spreading the good news of Jesus's death and rescurrection and that if we believe in him and trust and what he did on the cross you can spend eternity with him. NOT putting flyers on people's windshields telling them they are going to hell for watching a movie. If you don't like the movie don't go.....of you don't like the book don't read it.....it's just that simple....

I am Franz!!!

So yesterday, as my wife soon will post, if she hasn't already,joined a gym. This will be the first time that I have ever really lifted weights or ran for long periods of time on my own accord. I am Looking forward getting into shape so I can walk/run from the bottom part of "The Munchies" to the offices without breathing like a walrus. It's pretty cool because the Lord has been laying this on my heart for a long time convicting me about taking care of my body. I know that when my time is up my time is up, but it will be nice to have more energy and actually be healthy for my stay here. This will also be be benefit for when I am playing supevisor/bouncer on the overnights at P-Kins. HAHAHAHAHAH......huh?
