Touch Jesus and Believe

Tonight I went to Chi Alpha. I really like the praise and worship there and most of the messages. Tonight, Eli Gotreaux (spelling?) spoke. Eli is the main/head guy at Chi Alpha. Dude, if you were to see him, his arms are like the size of California Redwoods. The guy’s huge, not fat but muscular [...]

News Run-Down

  Very Rich are Leaving the Merely Rich Behind – This is about doctors and other professions that feel they aren’t earning enough money, even though some are earning over $150,000 a year and so they get involved with certain management/business programs. One doctor earned about $61,000 a year and is now a multi-billionaire. Jordan [...]

Are Circumstances or God Ruling Your Life?

Church was pretty good this morning. I hadn’t been anywhere in two weeks so I didn’t think this was something good for the “third time is a charm” cliche. Not to make me sound pious or anything, b/c I’m far from it, but this was after staying up late watching “Gettysburg.” (Okay, this isn’t part [...]

Post Thanksgiving Report

Well, Thanksgiving has now come and gone.  I know I ate quite a bit.  I guess it’s time to hit the ol’ diet on Monday.  When you think about it though, the actual foods you eat aren’t that bad as far as your diet concerns, it’s the desserts that do it.  I am not a [...]

Home for the Break

Well, I’m home for the break. It’s never a dull moment here since my sister and her three-year-old and eight-year-old live here. My sister had surgery today to remove scar tissue and to have her left ovary removed. So she’s in bed in pain. So the rest of us have to pick up the slack [...]

New Counselor

I went to see a new counselor on Thursday.  The old counselor recommended I see him.  The new guy specializes in sexual ideanity issues among other things.  Even though the old counselor is a Christian and I am as well, and I told him about it’s not an option of accepting these homosexual temptations, he [...]

“Arise” Theology

There’s this new praise and worship song I’ve learned in our BYX meetings. The lyrics are below. It’s a good song but I have a question about some of the lyrics. I think it’s bad theology but maybe I’m missing the point and not understanding the song that well. Here are the words: Verse One [...]

Sherron Watkins Speech

Today Sherron Watkins, the Enron “whistleblower” spoke at SHSU. She was a good speaker overall. She primarily spoke about the whole Enron saga and gave tips for students on what to watch out for in organizations. She defined the entire saga in terms of the old tale, the Emperor’s New Clothes. She started out by [...]

Yesterday’s Counseling

Today I went back and saw the counselor and the session was interesting. I knew it was true to an extent, but the counselor showed me how much I beat myself up and how unforgiving I am to myself. He said I have enough to worry about so why do I keep being crappy to [...]

Stellar Kart’s “Me and Jesus”

This is a song I’ve heard several times on XM’s The Message.  I don’t know if it’s because they just repeat songs like all Christian stations or if maybe God is trying to tell me something.  Or I guess it could be a combination of the two.  Who knows?  Here’s the song: When there’s no [...]
