Wow.... What a interesting day. I'm no expert on severe weather.... only an amateur severe weather spotter... but I have to admit... tonight was something much different then many of us younger people have never ever seen... like me one who has lived here all of my life....
I have never seen so many tornado warnings as well as severe thunderstorm warnings in Minnesota in my life time (25 years if you need to know). These storms stretched from the Canadian border all the way into Iowa. Basically the line of very strong storms stretched the whole length of Minnesota... something I have never ever seen... with warnings also stretching that far as well without many gaps.. all going on at the same time! We had to of broken some record in this state today... scary isn't it?
Its funny.... People at work have been making fun or me all week about today... how I am making such a big deal out of it... (long story)..... I have kind of become the unofficial weather person for our work... they think of me as Paul Douglas and call me Graham Douglas or Channel 5 (which is funny but really?)... and even they admit I have been right quite often... which I don't even care about... what I care about is reporting it... the thrill and honor to maybe able to help in reporting severe weather... which I find cool!....
All I do is look at the maps and forecasts and relay on my own experience knowledge and make my own conclusions to guide me. I like to forecast for my self because I find it more replay able that's all....
I didn't know if I would be right but that didn't matter... all I knew was it was coming... an it didn't matter if I was right... (o and I was excited to finally get a chance to severe weather spot... although that didn't happen the way I planned...)
Unfortunately I was right... and I hate being right about things like this......... it pains me.... and the worst part is what I was right about brought pain to a lot of people............
The ingredients where coming together... according to the national weather service and my gut I guess. My intention wasn't to be right I said but to heed the warning....
Around 21:15 (9:15pm) CST I looked outside and saw a very hard sunset to see.... I went outside and look at a sky... and saw a sky I don't think I have never seen before. It was getting dark yes... but the air, the clouds the wind... and the atmosphere.... was red and orange... I have never seen before in my life....
I don't know about all of you but that sky really hit me.... probably because as a trained weather spotter and as a believer in Christ... it strikes me as God trying to get our attention once again... because we as a nation... and we as believers need to wake up and see the truth of how sinful and small we really are compared to God and what he can do......
I was talked to my Dad tonight and even he told me he has never seen so many tornadoes going on at once throughout the state. I believe him because I can't remember that either... and seeing the sky tonight reminded me of God's power... and how small we really are... when he can't even stand up to a bit of bad weather.
I was only outside for a few minutes... my thoughts of how much we have turned to ourselves and evil.... in this county and in our lives... it makes sense that this has happened to us....by the look of the sky. I can' really put it all into words but I guess the sky being red and orange reminded me of what Hell is going to be like for so many that have turned away (which breaks my heart so much)..... the fear of the sky reminded me of God wrath... but Jesus reminded me that I can stand outside and fear nothing... because I have Christ protecting me... and his will be done just as he has promised.
I also learned something... well a few things... For one tonight was not worth to Spot... because nothing happened in the twin cites anyway.... as well as I learned how to use my ham radio... but I also learned to not be foolish and listen the wisdom of the people older then me...
One thing does puzzle me though about all of this... The twin cites was fine?... I didn't even rain where I lived? Why? How? What up with that? It interesting and one question I can't answer....
Most of us will probably forget this night because nothing really happened for most of us... even for me.... but I don't think ill ever forget seeing a sky like that... Its a good reminder of how powerful God is and how small and sinful we are... but he loves us anyway... all we need to do is Believe in is Christ.

God can speak even in the worst of places + April Fools Day
Hey all,
I don't really know if anyone reads my notes but I need to remember that it doesn't matter either way because I am proclaiming God in the way he made me…. I guess and if someone is benefiting and stealing my work... It doesn't matter in the end. God knows everything anyway.... moving on.
Class tonight has hard…. No not the subject or the things discussed... it was the spiritual attacks on life and how wrong people really are when they don't look at the big picture though Christ. It’s so sad, and heart breaking to see that people are so blinded by sin that they are missing so much. My heart hurts to see them blind without hope… and I feel so helpless to help… because I’m not even where I should be in Christ….
To give you an easy visual example of what I mean since I bet you are confused... Take driving for example. I love to drive and I do every day still… and did for over 2 years straight everyday for my last job. The one thing I find so amazing is how little people see... like Peds, Cars and even Semi’s! (It’s a huge list). It never seizes to amaze me how much people only care about themselves, having vision that is so narrow-minded and focus on only what is in front of them they miss everything else around them... like 270 degree of the sphere (in a 3D world or 2D which ever works for you....) The whole point is seeing though Christ eyes not only gives us the TRUTH... which is what we long for and are wired for... but it even gives us the advantage and hope to make it though anything no matter what it is…. To be able to see the wrong in what the world thinks is completely normal and right...... I really want to say give you an example from class tonight but until this class is over I have to use the (CODEWORD BOARDSTATSSIDEONE) for myself in order to write this at this time. It’s silly but you never know who reads you stuff…. just have to be careful and to be as much Christ like as I can… he CODEWORD is there to fill in the gap for myself. Ok formal stuff is over with… this is my point...
Christ gives us so much when we deserve nothing yet he still loves us and gives us more then we need. My class has been more of a spiritual battle then an English Class but either way I am learning so much. Maybe more then I want to learn spiritually right now but the point is my views, thoughts and feelings are being challenged… and tested… because God needs to know and I need to learn something…. What that is…. However… God is keeping from me probably for my own benefit. The extreme worldly views and this battle has been one that's been extremely hard to bear but just as rewarding as well. Every week has been heartbreaking.... and walking out of class with the anger because I know in my heart that the facts are wrong proves God’s anger towards people who have turned from him. It’s not anger at the people but at the views that are being presented that make God look stupid, wrong and self right.
Yes I know this would happen… but I was tested… In my case though I wasn't as prepared as I should have been but either way I have learned so much... and am happy to know I am stronger than I thought but know that I have much to learn. If anything its remaining spiritually healthy for the most part has made all of the difference...... more than I can even describe.
Its funny this week is "Holy Week" but it's kind of special because its Holy Week.... kind of makes no sense but you kind of get the idea (quotes are the big hint!). The idea of what Christ did on the cross is so powerful.... and how there is nothing that can we can do re pay the debt he gave us… and how he came to save us even when he didn’t need to is mind blowing. He gave up everything for us…. It’s just so amazing how he can break someone (like me for example to help) to follow him and then put the pieces back together better than they ever were blows my mind every time. This is what gets Easter a celebration… not just for me but to everyone who Believes in the Cross and aligns their life to this. Getting your life to follow Christ is the hard part! It’s easy to become a believer but hard to follow that teaching. It means you have to give up what you want most to Christ and God…. And we don’t like that… for it was control…. And you know you find you can leave without… but it’s hard! For me this excitement never goes away or ever gets old!
Even thought I hate my English class... I know now that God put me there not to just learn English and how to write college papers.... (well that to)... but to learn that the spiritual battle is bigger than we know and we are more powerful with Christ in us then we even know.... its learning how to us that… that takes a lifetime. The Hymn that comes to mind that describes life since I became a Christian and even this class experience is the Hymn that has the words... "for the things of Earth will grow strangely dim.... for the light of glory and Grace.... (something like that.... and I don't remember the hymn..... grrrr.... I should know this…. Now I feel bad… o well…)
The point in a nut shell or line…. The bigger picture is and has been the battle rather than the class itself.... Fully how God works…. He’s creative and always able to think of new ways to work… I never stop loving that!....
Just to let you know for you people who think I am all talk... I have an A in the class unfortunately… I know it sounds like an ego…. It’s just the truth. I have worked very hard for it but will admit I don't feel like I like the work to earn that grade has reflected my grade… Even though I’ve worked hard for it.... funny.... Praise the Lord and that best part is God gets the Glory for it and I can boast about it thought Christ.... NOT MYSELF.... how cool is that?
....on a side note…. I actually wanted to write about April fool’s day... which is tomorrow the same day as Maundy Thursday. Personally I think April Fools one of those holidays that really everyone loses in the end. Personally the Kitchen sprayer is not funny to me at all.... just to give you a perspective and example.... and since it falls on the same day as the night that Jesus was portrayed... (well this year anyway) I find it both fascinating as well as kind of scary to. If you really want to does an April fools joke then do it on something that everyone would laugh at…. Including the person who is being fooled and make sure they wouldn’t care either way. I guess since I care so much about people April fools only naturally seems like kind of a mean holiday…. I don’t know guess I’ll stop before the hole gets bigger. Just thought I would throw that out there. Well I better get back to work on my paper for school. Just didn't want to forget....

Woeked 26 Hours + Fixed Car= GOD protecting me and blessing me! :)
Hey all,
Just an FYI I am kind of tired so if I make mistakes sorry and ill try to correct them. Telling me would be the best... anyway...
Wow what a day... I have worked 13 hours today and 13.5 yesterday... not by choice.
I am working at PartStock Computer located in Minneapolis. They are moving their facility and we(me and other co-workers have been working overtime to get ready... not by choice... well at least for me. in the middle of all this I am trying to go to school (hint on trying) and trying to keep my faith straight. Its hard...! There isn't a day that goes by that makes me see how stupid, sinful and not very smart I am.... However God really shines though... and even keeps me safe and out of situation that could be very dangerous and not fun. PRAISE GOD... For example tonight.
Now I'm not a city person but driving home from midway late (like after 9:00pm) isn't safe (have to go on Snelling…. Not fun) even though this world is not safe at all we have to rely on God.... And he does his part.
The past couple of weeks my headlight has been working and not working. Finally tonight when I was driving home it was out again... so I figured I would fix it... even after a 12+ hour day. Good thing do... Because I discovered that my serpentine belt had a very bad crack in it....
It brings me back to the my thing I did on God's Temporal Prime directive (which has not been released yet... I need to edit it... coming soon in other words)... God just intervened and made me stay on the path he wanted me to be. What are the odds that the only crack on the serpentine belt would show up in only visible spot on the whole belt? I would bet the odds are 1/5,000,0000… If you know cars the odds are huge. The weirdest thing was the last couple of days I have noticed that something was wrong. I could just feel it..... Just like a caption knows his/her ship... or the engineer knows the ship better than anyone else.... knows how to do anything with it... to make it work and more... (Star Trek fan!)
My car is my ship (just see the bumper sticker… I even have a name and a NCC number… sad I know….) Let’s just say I can tell when something is wrong. I'm not kidding about this. It’s a ability that God has blessed me with apparently… well at least I think its true… long story so I will keep going. It does also help to drive every day for over a year with the same car. I can tell if the vibration is off just by listening.... Just like the caption can tell if the inertial dampers are out of alignment. Its that simple.
The whole point is God intervened and showed me his LOVE! Wow! It’s so cool and I once again am in his Debt… not that, that really matter…. How lucky we are that he loves us that much!... that he went to the cross to save us LOVES US THAT much. I am always amazed.
O and by the way I fixed my serpentine belt and feel so good. The funny part is I bought the belt about a year ago or so because I was worried about not having the belt if my car broke down. Its been in my trunk forever... even had cobwebs on it... at least that’s what my Dad said. LOL! But when I needed it, I was there... because remember I worked over 12 hours today.
I would bet God know that I needed it fixed for some reason and that its apart of his plan... even though its just a car and a belt... but hey everything is relaying on a piece of rubber to work so its important. God thinks it is... how cool is that.... and the coolest thing is even though I failed today in sinning... (General sin, nothing big but the usual... like being stupid and such) yet he still cares and showed me how much he Loves me.... I just wish more people would see this... it’s so important....
Well I’ll stop babbling and get to bed. More work tomorrow 9:00am… ... Almost done with the move stuff.... Thanks everyone for being patient and I’m so sorry for not being available... no choice!
This is also posted on my blog.... (Just give me few days to move the post.... use the website link on my profile page... or goto http://adfgrahame.blogspot.com/ )

This Year's 2010 Valentines Day (well at least for me)
First Official Real Time Posting
This year for some reason has been one of the hardest holidays for me. This day in general is hard for me but this year has been especially hard. Why this year? Who knows? All I know I must trust in is that God has a plan… and why I feel lead to post this online for the first time, I also have no idea why?
I know people say “Jesus is your Valentine” and that is good and all… but that doesn’t seem to help for me. In recent years it’s been more of anger trigger, rather then a help… at least for me.
What really boggles my mind is how you single ladies go though this every year? I can’t imagine how hard it must be for all of you!? You process things in emotion and I get that in at least some forum because so do it. I know I’m a guy and so I’ll get over it somehow... but how you do it?… I’ll never fully understand. I will not explain how I understand that but... In my mind that it’s a miracle literally... and how you do it exactly in your mind and in your emotion I can't even fathom. Let’s just say I have huge respect for how you do it... anyway…
It's not that I hate Valentines Day…. it’s that I am not able celebrate it with someone who is special to me. I know it will probably happen someday but that someday might never happen either. This paradox cases issues… and this is why I understand how emotional this holiday is for the opposite sex of me.
However how guys do I would guess not thinking about it, but I could be wrong. Hey I'm hard on my own sex for a reason... we are suppose to be the foundation of women and there is a reason for that. My justification for that is just as Christ is the foundation of the Church… this is what we Men are suppose to be to our wives... figuratively speaking of coarse... Only a few see it that way... anyway... got a bit off topic...
The only holiday that I really want to celebrate more then anything... is this holiday and because I can't that hurts deeper then anything...
If I could choose the only 3 holidays in the world, I would pick Easter, Christmas and Valentines Day. All these holidays show Love… and all biblical love in some form or another… a bit of a stretch but you get the picture. I guess maybe thanksgiving too but that one gets a little complicated. I guess I will be able to some day but for now I can’t and that’s what makes this Holiday the hardest one of them all… :(...
Happy Valentines Day... for the people who are able... Just please remember how honored you are to be able to do so...

Super Bowl Sunday (observations...)
First off I don't want to make anyone mad or anything but try to see this more as an observation rather then an opinion on the matter (although my opinion does fall into this a bit as well but I will try to keep it as observation based rather then opinion based). Feel free to tell me I'm way off base though since it sometimes happens.....
I have noticed that other the years it seems the super bowl is becoming more and more so big in peoples lives that it kind of takes over. Hey I fall into that category as well. The point is I guess that sports unfortunately are sometimes becoming a God. I find it interesting how people would rather have a national holiday for a sporting event (which has been talked about more then once) then for Christ's birth (Christmas) or his Death (Good Friday and Easter... which I have never been able to have off in my lifetime). This seems to be moving in the wrong direction in my mind...
I find it ironic how Biblical teaching of "God's" throughout the new and even old testament has held true to this day. I (opinion here for just a sec) truly think and believe that this is not accident. It seems that sports figures (such as Farve, Manning, etc...and the list goes on and on) have become sometimes God symbols themselves. What a great position to be in to tell others about Christ but it seems this never happens. A position of influence and power is such a great honor but a lot of times it gets used for SELFISH reasons rather then looking at the bigger picture of others rather then as inward or self.
So whats your point [ADF]Grahame? Well its this... Don't let something take things or events take over your life to the point that you serve something. It can be anything (an object, a person, even an idea) ... but sports seems to be a big one and since its Super Bowl Sunday I thought it a great time say something. A lot of people across the country are going to church this morning and then right to the "big game." Isn't our focus suppose to be on Christ? Isn't that the reason that we go to church? Isn't that the reason we serve? Only the Lord Jesus Christ who is in our hearts should fill this role and nothing should be above our Lord. If he is not in our hearts there is a problem and if we are not focused on him even when its something as dumb as this there is no exemption.
I'm' not saying that the the Super Bowl is bad and watching it is bad... but if your life in any way revolves around it then changes are needed ASAP!
I myself have had this problem as well but as long as Christ is first and there is nothing else... I (opinion) think God can then be pleased in anything we do... because as long as he is first everything seems to fall into place and work.
However lets not have something like the Super Bowl get in the way of the one who came and saved us from ourselves. There is nothing we can say to justify that.
Happy Super Bowl Sunday. :)

I have noticed that other the years it seems the super bowl is becoming more and more so big in peoples lives that it kind of takes over. Hey I fall into that category as well. The point is I guess that sports unfortunately are sometimes becoming a God. I find it interesting how people would rather have a national holiday for a sporting event (which has been talked about more then once) then for Christ's birth (Christmas) or his Death (Good Friday and Easter... which I have never been able to have off in my lifetime). This seems to be moving in the wrong direction in my mind...
I find it ironic how Biblical teaching of "God's" throughout the new and even old testament has held true to this day. I (opinion here for just a sec) truly think and believe that this is not accident. It seems that sports figures (such as Farve, Manning, etc...and the list goes on and on) have become sometimes God symbols themselves. What a great position to be in to tell others about Christ but it seems this never happens. A position of influence and power is such a great honor but a lot of times it gets used for SELFISH reasons rather then looking at the bigger picture of others rather then as inward or self.
So whats your point [ADF]Grahame? Well its this... Don't let something take things or events take over your life to the point that you serve something. It can be anything (an object, a person, even an idea) ... but sports seems to be a big one and since its Super Bowl Sunday I thought it a great time say something. A lot of people across the country are going to church this morning and then right to the "big game." Isn't our focus suppose to be on Christ? Isn't that the reason that we go to church? Isn't that the reason we serve? Only the Lord Jesus Christ who is in our hearts should fill this role and nothing should be above our Lord. If he is not in our hearts there is a problem and if we are not focused on him even when its something as dumb as this there is no exemption.

Update of my Grandfather... timestamp 1-25-2010
Hey all,
I just wanted to let you know that it looks like the fog has cleared. He is doing very well and the Lord has answered prayers.
Nothing gives me more joy then to be able to say thank you for all of your prayers. Thank you to everyone for sending out a prayer requests and for everyone praying for my Grandfather over the past week and weekend. There are not even words that I can say to express my thankfulness for the prayer. Its overwhelming and I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
God has really shown himself in this and it brings me great joy to be able to say that its all God's work! Continue to pray for him since recovery will be slow but it looks like the worst may be behind us.
I don't know the verse but it reminds me that we should be always in prayer of others regardless of how good or bad things are.
Praise be to God and that his Glory! There is nothing like it! :) :)

Abortion and Christian Persecution? Is that possible? I think I is... especially now...

Abortion and Christian Persecution? Is that possible? I think I is... especially now...First off I am not going to bore everyone with the details. I really am sick of it too so no worries.
However something struck me as interesting and scary. According to the health care bill, if passed tax dollars will be spent into funding abortion.
If memory serves this would be the first time that we as Americans would be faced with paying for the murder of incident human beings (unborn babies or Fetus's). When I heard this on the radio tonight on the way home in this bad first snow in December of 2009 it hit me funny and much different. For me it hit the deepest parts of my heart in ways that are very painful and scary. Why do you say? What's so different about this fact? What’s the big deal? Are you crazy?
Well for one you are funding the killing of people. it is the same as if I go out and get a gun and kill someone. However according to the government and culture that is OK to kill babies that haven't even be able to see the light of this world, but its not OK to kill a pregnant women (in which you great charged for the murder of the women and the unborn child!) Isn't there a commandment for this in the bible as Well? Yep! Excuse 20:13 or the 5th commandment: "You shall not murder."
I know being a believer in Jesus and having him in my heart as my personal savior that I can not do this and his word says that clearly as stated.
However that is what we will be doing if this passes and for the first time supporting murder without even realizing it. Its just what Jesus said about lusting after a women... Jesus Said You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ a 28But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart. Matthew 5:27-29.
But what does that have to do with murder and the government? Hold that thought for 2 seconds....
When I was now following the Lord I was deeply into Pornography. It got to the point that I actually paid sites online for Porn. That is supporting the sin the pornography industry and Lust itself!!!!!
When I look back, it is something that I deeply regret and I know I singed and have had to ask God for forgiveness. This is why I understand how scary this is of supporting sin to the point of not even knowing that I am. Yes I know that is a loose translation of it but the point is that I supported Lust. However it was my sin and my choice and praise God he can forgive, but their are consequences to actions (like the guilt of knowing you did it, emotional pain etc)
Aborting a baby is the same thing as murdering.... but according to legislation currently and government it might become something that is not a choice anymore but instead a DEMAND! If you want insurance from the government you will have to pay for it.
You see the parallel of this and how scary this really is. I would even go as far as for the first time Christians being faced with a choice of supporting evil and being persecuted for not complying to it (by not being able to have insurance as the example). Though Paul's time in the book of ACTS from bible people had where burned at the stack, and not able to do trade in the marketplace since they had to pray to the Greek God's of whatever and bring a sacrifice offering for the pagan God. This also goes into end prophecy of the mark of the beast and such. Its scary to see how far we have gone from God and how much we need to ask God to forgive us of our sins and proclaim Jesus as the living raisin savior who came to this earth to save us from sin and death. His Gift is free and worth the price of something as small as not being able to have health-care.
I don't know what is going to happen but knowing what the bible says and being a believer in Christ is what I am worried about and this is why it hit me so hard today.
I know it’s confusing and probably has issues but I really felt led to write this (why I don't know) so if you don't understand let me know.

Just talking (to anyone who wants to listen)
You know its funny but once you become a really big follower of Christ (Jesus Christ) you see stuff you never saw before and your so happy you figure it out. There are so many things I can think of now like this. It pains me so much that so many are lost in the world and are so frustrated and the reason is they don't want God or don't even know who he is (frankly I truly believe the second one for many people). However God does such glories things with such sinners as myself that in the end God gets the glory (which he commands and wants anyway) and we win 2. Believing by faith and even sometimes blind faith shows the ones of the path to heaven. Hey even I will admit I was not on the path for a long time but and everyone though I was doomed (which I was) but God saved me from myself (for reasons still don't know and may l never now for a long time or never) and brought me out of sin and into his kingdom. That doesn't mean I am not a sinner (I totally am) but it was a change of the heart and mind though Jesus Christ and for that I have never been more joyful. Does that mean I am still learning stuff? O yes more so then ever but its so worth it in the end because God loves you and wants you to be his Child of God and a servant in his kingdom because he came to this world to save us not himself.... Just felt like writing this stuff for some reason... G2G to bed though...

CBE 1103 College Class tonight
OK this is going to sound just plain off the wall but ill just say it because its late and I need to get to bed but I really need to write this... why i
Everyone who reads this please, please pray for my college CBE 1103 class.
We had a quotation essay thing tonight where we got up and spoke about what is a quote that we live by and what helps us get though this tough time of going to college and life transition and work. We are all working adult students going to college and tonight well for me was very inspiriting, uplifting, emotional and was so to the heart that it hurt me and moved me and I think everyone in the class (well me for sure anyway). All of my classmates are women and I am the only guy in the class now (yes I know scary) and this really has hit home for me. It so hard to see all of these women both young and older having to go back to college and take on so much!
I literally broke down after I got home tonight from class and just because of it started to pray that everyone one of them be given grace by God. Its so hard to hear so many of them with having to be a single mom or going and have gone though a divorce and now finally starting to realize that they need an education... however being christian I know it goes much deeper then that and being a women I know it goes even deeper then I understand (remember I am a guy)...... However this broke my heat and I am REALLY WANTING PRAYER FOR MY CLASS... ITS SO HARD TO HEAR IT BUT I KNOW THAT EVERY PERSON IN MY CLASS HAS THE POTENTIAL, WISDOM, MOTIVATION AND ABILITY to get a college degree and I am asking for prayer in there lives... I KNOW THAT THESE WOMEN IN MY CLASS ARE HURTING AND SOME OF THEM MY BE SAVED BUT SOME ARE NOT BUT ALL ARE HURTING! I explain it but I know they need help and I would ask you to pray for them.
I have never felt so much about this and it just hit me on the way home tonight and I thought I would write about it quite before I go to bed and because its important. They need so much help and Godly Men in there lives to help take the burden off of them. It angers me, but also doesn't surprise me (since I am the only male in my class out of dozen or so women) how much Women now a days do that the MEN should be doing. It hurts me so much because that is not what God teaches in his word.
This is my request that they are saved and God be mercy and graceful. I know this really weird but I can't help it tonight. I think it needs to be known and said because all I want to do is help!
-SIDE-NOTE
I talked about this the whole way home (to myself... since there is no one to talk to at 10:00pm... besides you get used to it when you drive a lot and when there is no one else to talk to.... remember God is listening)....Anyway I talked to myself as I said and then when I got home broke down and had to pray because it was overwhelming and saw the need so much that I had to and wanted to so much that it was the only way to release this is pray for them and bag God grace on my class. After I finished praying I felt so much better and stop crying. An interesting observation... So I thought I would write it down. :)

God Center Denist story (if thats possiable which I think it is... well for me)
I got my teeth cleaned this morning 7:00am (early for me)! What a difference doing the work of brushing. flossing and using Mouthwash everyday makes as well as not drinking soft drinks and eating right! (note haven't been to the dentist in 4 years!) NO cavities *cheer*and they really like my teeth and were supper nice! And the best part is I fixed there computer yesterday for work which made a really cool 2 way exchange and had an answer to prayer about needing a dentist! The best people and place ever! I was a great experience because dentists are not fun. Me=Happy :P .... my advice is to work hard and when the times comes to see the dentist the report they about it will make it all worth the wait (that's the praise for anyone who miss it... I do that sometimes....) well g2g to work again later!

Sad day but God is Good and in Control....
My parents had to put our Doggie (Caley) down today. She was 13 years old and a great friend and dog. She was a Shetland sheep dog (my favorite Dog... they are so cute). Also, on the way home from Class there was a bad traffic accident on 110 and 149 right by my house... someone I think was killed (Being respectful of the situation at this time... but I do think I know) :(.... Please pray for the family and people involved... As you can see not the best day in the world but that's God is in control... I know that for sure.... and its Great to know that he is.... God is so loving and wants to set us free from Sin... How wonderful he can be even today as bad and dark and gray and rainy and icky it has been... He is still there... yesterday today and forever.... you are the same, you never change. Yesterday today and forever... you are faithful, we will TRUST in you... got singing there (I heard that song today in my car). Anyway, Just thought I would write this quick... I could go on and on but I g2g to Bed. Later all and be safe....

Exploding Smoke Detectors... A true Story
OK if you have ever heard a really loud noise that came from no where chances are its something that you didn't think of. Well I guess that doesn't make sense but on Saturday a thing like that happened to me. Even though the day was not so great (kind of scary hearing loud noises you can't explain)... now at least I have the whole story it actually made it worth it (OK again that makes no sense but moving on).
I was sitting in my room doing some stuff on my Server (yes I know geeky) when all of the sudden there is a really loud popping sound that echo's in the room. The sound didn't actually even make me jump (no joke) but the sound is something I have heard before. To me the sound sounded like balloon that exploded... (to put it in easy terms for everyone). However I have no balloons in my apartment (at least now you know :) ). If you know me the first thing that it sounded like to me was a light bulb exploding. I only had one light bulb on in the whole apartment but it was working.
This is where the story gets kind of funny and creative. Knowing myself I checked all the light bulbs and they all worked. I even checked my projector bulb which gets really hot but that was intact to. So then I got me thinking that my computer equipment or TV had some capacitor exploded, but they all worked. I even checked my battery backups for my computer equipment. No luck. I couldn't find anything. Hey I even checked frig (the back, not inside come on I’m not that paranoid). I was stumped.
Well today I got my answer. Yes there was one thing I missed that had a battery… The SMOKE DETECTOR. As you probably know some smoke detectors start to beep when there battery was low. Well it started beeping this afternoon when I was doing my homework (apparently things happen when I am trying to concentrate). The 9 Volt Battery apparently exploded inside the smoke detector. I checked it and the battery had exploded from the bottom and had a big ball of dried battery acid that had leaked out and then dried. Guess we should pay more attention when it says on every battery about the warning that they may explode... because in my case that could be anytime.... literally. LOL!
So mystery solved... finally. So if you ever hear a popping noise that you can't explain check your smoke detectors. I guess now I know that Smoke Detector batteries randomly explode. What a great fact to know :P. Makes for a good story though :) .

ACTS 2:42 Thank you...
First off I want to say Thank YOU from the bottom of my heart for everyone single person in ACTS 2:42. That’s all 60+ members (as of the date of this posting 08-22-09). The past 8 months have been the longest, tiring and most enjoyable months I have ever had in my entire life. I can’t even describe how much joy I have had… it’s so overwhelming. THANK YOU, THANK YOU to Everyone! I mean that from the bottom of my heart. In a way I feel like you all are a second family… in Christ and in a personal way and I can’t stop thanking you enough. You all have been so loving, caring and Christ like in so many ways I can’t even remember it all… that’s how much to give you an idea. This is something I have really never had before ever in my life and have wanted to say to you all for a long time, but never seemed to have the time and energy to do this, and for that I am really feel bad & sorry. God is working on that to with me. I am also sorry if I made bad impressions on anyone or am boring or something. I just don’t do well in groups at all and am trying to improve so bare with me. This is due to my disorders and such but I am learning.
I don’t know if anyone has been praying for me or not but finally after 2 years of really working hard I been able to finally be able to move to my own apartment, am starting school in less then 3 weeks and just found out that my request for going from full time to part time at my Job went though. This has been something that I have wanted, waited and prayed for over 2 years. I have been working hard on rebuilding my life in Christ and like probably everyone else have a past.
It’s funny how God really does provide and works with you… to the point of you actually overflow… all our dreams and wishes come true by being faithful and true to him and though him. Wow what a surprise? It seems so simple on paper yet so hard to live; unbearable at some points. Keep trusting in the Lord and he will keep his promise to you. Praise God for his Grace, protection and wisdom.
I hope every one of you can be able to do that. Now or in the future because maybe you are there right now going though stuff that just doesn’t seem pleasant and has no joy at all. Been there and understated down to what you are feeling. Hang in there and let God bring you the joy later that only being faithful can bring. God Bless everyone and may we all learn to grow in our faith, one step & day at a time.

P.S. I am working on my writing skills to... and see I need to keep working on it... bare with me here.
My thoughts on the Severe Weather and Tornado's Today...
First off I want to Praise God that NO one got hurt or killed from all of these Tornado's today in South Minneapolis, Cottage Grove, North Branch, New Richmond as well as all of the rest of Minnesota and Wisconsin. Its amazing how with all the damage and stories show how lucky we really are on how fragile life can be. This is kind of the like the outbreak back in the 70's or 80's (if memory serves) Praise the Lord that all of us all over the Twin Cites are OK. A little shaken up probably but safe and sound tonight (I hope).
I myself was very shocked on what occurred in South Minneapolis and across the Metro today. Its really a eye opener and interesting how even when its cool that Tornado's can form. There was a prediction out today by the National Weather Service that severe weather could occur but not the way it did. I think most of us if not all of us where very caught off guard. I was for sure, driving back from East Bethel listening to KTIS AM 900 when the emergency tone came on and said there was a Tornado warning for Hennepin, Anoka and Carver County’s @ 2:00pm CST. It was 67 degree's and even I said about 2 hours earlier that it’s just to cold for anything. Guess not. What I found though the most interesting about today was what was said about the storms. I watched and heard the weather reports from TV and WCCO Radio and how the phrase "there was no warning" or "it happened so fast" and the most interesting one of "Tornado's don't hit city or Downtown" was used to describe what happened. Usually this is used in this kind of event but it struck me differently this time probably due to my thought of how faith, prepares you for anything... even Tornado's in the city.
However what came to mind next is also kind of interesting. It’s what Bruce said this last week @ church when he was talking about what was said to the Church in Sardis which said to WAKE UP! Repent or I will come like a thief in the night (Revelation 3:3). For me I took this as WAKE UP! would represent the storm occurring... REPENT would represent me being prepared for anything kind of like a Tornado happening in South Minneapolis Today... and the Thief in the night being the aftermath and the destruction of the Storm. OK not the best usage of the passage but the point I am trying to make is that people need to realize that things can happen to them that are bad, unexpected, things that don't make any sense, but IF you are walking with the Lord, Storms will come and destroy everything... but not your faith and trust in the Lord.
I was just so struck how so many people in South Minneapolis had the same story of not being unprepared, not knowing what to do and in shock that it happened and it hitting so close to home (I.E. in the heart of the City). They just ASSUMED that where "safe" and it will not happen here and to them. I used to think the same thing but I realized that in reality that there is NO place safe in this world and things can and will happen that no one will be able to predict of see coming and even explain. Being prepared, taking Severe Weather seriously and walking in the faith in Jesus Christ are probably the best and only things that you could do Today. The funny part about all of this is all you can take to heaven your faith in Jesus Christ as a personal savior... otherwise you will being going to the only other place besides heaven... and its not pleasant...
I thought I just throw that out there... its a rare opportunity to be able to write this for me so I thought I take advantage of that... and unfortunately I was stuck in Mahtomedi MN fixing a clients computer the whole time... (Figures).... and missed being able to use my Severe Weather spot... and No it’s not a Tomato warning... otherwise that would be an interesting storm! O well, l next time I guess...

P.S. Feel free to let me know what you think! ;)
Thursday's Snow....
Wow what a snow day that was. Hey I took me like 30 min to go 2 miles on Universality in Midway. There was like 3 accidents on University by Midway. I don't understand how you can have an accident going less then 5 mph?
TIP! If it snows that bad and it’s a wet snow... don't go west on Kellogg from 35E to 94 going up that hill. No one was making it up the hill. I really wanted to help out those people on at a time and just push but where would I park my car in the snow storm? O well it was kind of funny but sad too.
O and the coolest part is there was some thunder reported in the south metro! It was quite a powerful storm. Hope everyone was safe and didn't get into any accidents.... God is very good to his children... as long as they listen. Just thought I post that... Before I forgot. :P!
-FYI if you want to know more check out my Tech guys log.... Ill post more about it there...

Interesting Day
I had a funny thing happen to me today. For some reason when I got to my clients site in Midway today dropped my lunch and it fell on the floor right on the way to put it in the fridge. Half of it was able to be saved since it was Leeann Chen lunch and half hit the floor. O well thats life O wait it gets better. Then after doing about 10 computers in the moring, I went to get my lunch out of the fridge, put it on the counter and open the microwave and it hit the floor. All of it! A least it feel on a rug. So it all went into the garbage. I guess God didn't want me to have lunch :P. Well a least I was able to get see the food before it hit the floor, although it was hard for the rest of the day. I the best part was it was a reminder how life can be. Fun and not fun. Just felt like writing it down LOL...

Hey all,
These posts are actually stuff I have collected over the past year but have not been able to post... The original date will be posted inside each blog clearly (I hope. All posting should have the date of 02-08-2010 which should make it easy find know.
Before I post this stuff just want to dedicate this Blog once again to Christ who all things flow and am hoping God uses this in ways not even I have thought of.... God Bless this Blog and use it for your Glory! I give it all to you.
