http://www.blogigo.co.uk/dbattles The world from a younger fundamentalist.... en dbattles dbattles Sun, 04 Jun 2006 03:55:04 +0200 daily 1 I am finding there is both good and bad with blogging, the good being that the writer (aka: me) learns a lot from writing. The bad being that “a fool’s voice [comes with] many words” (Ecc 5:3 ESV). I am doing my best not do the later, basically rambling and gossiping, rather promoting wholesome and spiritual conversations (albeit internet text conversations) and intellectual growth. I don’t have a perfect percentage or formula, but I do know this: no person should be blogging or discussing anything Biblical if the person is not first seeking the Lord for himself, and reading as much as he can on books about the Bible. For me, that means, I will not let myself post anything, unless I have been reading Christian living books. While I will admit that men are but men, and are not infallible, they certainly do have a lot better things to say than I do. So at very least, at this point in my game, I should be learning more than I should talking. Yeah, I know….sounds oxymoronic at this point…. Back...

I dont know if I will have time, or even access to this site in the future, but I might as well give it a try. Oh, I am talking about blogging if you didnt get my hint. I will try to put some of my posts that I put on my blogspot on here. I no longer have access to that because the BJU filter blocks all blogspots. Bummer.

Apparently a really big dinosaur has been found in Argentina. What I found most interesting about this article is this quote from it: (found at http://dsc.discovery.com/news/briefs/20060417/meatdino_din.html) and at: http://www.nytimes.com/2006/04/18/science/18dino.html "Coria said it is possible the big meat eaters evolved different habits for each species, and Mapusaurus simply may have been more social. The pack even appears to have passed away together in a mass die-off. "  If you ask me, it is further indication that the flood happened at once and killed them all off in one catastrophic event. But what do I know? I am a Pastoral Studies major, certainly not a paleantolologist (sp?)

I just spent probably 20 minute that I shouldnt have spent in the first place writing a response to what is going on over at SharperIron.org (http://www.sharperiron.org/showthread.php?t=2807&page=1&pp=7) and was going to copy my quick reply (which wasnt really quick into the real reply box and accidently hit the copy command again and totally lost my text. And I do not have to to retype it, so I aint gunna. Man talk about feeling like you just got kicked in the stomach! Good thing it wasnt for class! (FYI, I hit command-S every other second when writing a paper; if only I was that smart a couple minutes ago!

As my campus job, I work at the music company BJU owns called SoundForth. We yearly put out a CD featuring students, former students, staff, and faculty of BJU. This year's is called A Quiet Heart (SoundForth Singers and Orchestra). It is supposed to be supplement to Dr. Berg's new DVD series called Quieting A Noisy Soul (check out quietinganoisysoul.com for more details). A 30-second preview can be listened to at SacredAudio.com of all the songs on A Quiet Heart, and many many more CDs. Here is the text from one of my favorite songs on the CD called I Could Not Do Without Thee Words by Francis R. Havergal Music by Craig Curry Orchestration by Dan Forrest Kristin Alexander, soloist © Copyright 1997 by Beckenhorst Press, Inc. All rights reserved. Used by permission. I could not do without Thee, O Savior of the lost, Whose precious blood redeemed me, at such tremendous cost. Thy righteousness,...

While I do not agree that courtship is okay for everyone, he definitely has has some good biblical proof behind his points. I have enjoyed all 4 of his books, particularly the 2 on relationships. Here is most of the post I wrote on this past summer on relationships. I may come back after a few days with some comments and learning I have done since I wrote this: >>>>>>> July 14, 2005 Many people have asked me, "Do you have a girlfriend? No? How come? You had better get moving!" While I appreciate their concern, I am taking things as slowly and as cautiously as possible. Why? you ask? Because, as I told one of my friends at work today, I want to present myself to my Lord someday in Heaven as best as I can. I know that I cannot be totally without sin. But that should be our goal. I see so many men and women, unfortunately most of the time young boys and girls, Christian and non-Christian alike that do not care...

I have blogspot one, but since BJU blocks it, I dont have access at all to it. So, I dont know if I will have time to keep it running or not, but it will at least give me a place to vent and to write a llittle bit. I will also try to put some of the articles I wrote for my other blog on here. Have fun reading!
