Here we go folks!

  This is my first attempt at a blog.  Scary I know, especially for those of you who know me well enough to know I can be overly detailed.   The inspiration for the blog comes in many forms, however if I had to pick one I'd say that is is credited to the changes that the 2011 year has provided me.   What can you expect from a blog like this from a guy like me?  The answer is I have no earthly idea.   All I know is that It's about to get real up in here.  


 The changes in my life this year, though significant and life altering, wont always be my focus.   I have opinions and things to say about just about everything in life.   I also know that every one of you will surely find comedy in the up coming literary commentary of my adulthood.    From the high school days, military time, self employment and so on there is enough experience to fill a lifetime.   I will say that the majority of the time I will credit Jesus Christ for all that I have, and if that happens to offend you or anyone else reading this blog then too bad.   I'm not sure that there is an ounce of political correctness in my body, and I like it that way.   In my opinion I think those are the ingredients for a likable guy :)  

   So.... lets kick this thing off.  I wanted to share something about Christianity that I've been studying here recently.    Louie Giglio is an evangelist from Atlanta, Georgia who has multiple videos posted on YouTube on his message of science and God.   He has toured several times around the globe, however this particular video I'm speaking of he calls the "How Great is Our God Tour".   Chris Tomblin, a worship music artist had traveled with Louie to several places along the tour and part of which Louie derived the name of his message.    This video gives great insight into the CREATOR of the universe and how we are connected to Him through our own human bodies.    For the sake of knowing myself and my urge to explain the entire video to you I'll just post the link for your viewing pleasure. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KqziOKZ4AE

   Beware, because this video literally changed my perspective on God and His connection with us.  I have no doubt that the video will do the same for you.   Now for all you scientists out there don't worry.   He cites and references scientifically factual information to support his message from scripture as well.    Skeptics are allowed to change their views of God just the same as someone as less #intheirownbrainabouteverything people are.  :)    However I will say that to understand a skeptic is to understand man at his fleshly nature.  Man in general is apt to find a prosperous heir to the factual truth.    I don't believe this was always so, as society and cultural influences have changed this idea.   Man has gone to great lengths to try and validate other reasons for creation and human history.   It seems we are always searching for the real answers or reasons for things, instead of exercising the faith we were given from birth.  Watch and listen to Louie explain the formation of eye sight of a baby inside the mother's womb.  Don't tell me that's just by chance, or that there wasn't a designer that made the process that way.    With that I encourage you to follow the link I posted above,  grab a cup of coffee and watch.     

   I hope you enjoyed my first attempt at a blog and I hope to see you back again soon
