Four Years Arky - VISION

Sheena and I have officially lived in Arkansas for four years now. Crazy to think its been that long, and yet somehow it seems like its been longer. In those four years we've had four different mailing addresses. There's a fun fact for the day. I can't say it's been the easiest four years of my life, but I can say its been the most blessed. I have grown a lot spiritually and don't plan on slowing down the pace either. In fact, I have more anticipation AND vision about this year than I ever have before. God has placed specific things in my heart that I am to walk out this year.

That last sentence has created so much excitement in my heart, and I believe it is a result of increase in my time in praying in the spirit. God is showing me exactly how I am to focus on my job, and my position at my local church. Obeying Him in these things requires less "me time" but wow the rewards of doing so are great. By committing to obey and pursue the things He has placed in my heart, God is giving me more. I believe the spiritual mandate this year is "turning the corner" and with that, I am not going to sit back and watch things happen. I am going take action and obey what God shows me. I greatly anticipate looking back on this year later, and reading this post only to give God glory for all that He has done.

Vaccinations

I recently asked one of my friends his reason for not being a believer in getting vaccinated for things such as the flu, hep b, etc:


“I am a firm believer that my auto-immune system was designed by God, and as such has been designed in a superior fashion to defend me from infections etc. I don't believe you "grow stronger" due to your exposure to all viruses. AIDS is a virus, why don't we have immunizations for that? That is an oversimplification I know, but that is the general point. A supporting point is the fact that western medicine has had many huge "uh oh" moments in the past, blood letting, leeching, etc. The medical industry itself states that they double their knowledge every 8 months - a year. This has the opposite from intended consequence for me and my confidence in them. If they doubled what they knew 8 months ago, and they know so little now, they sure seemed confident for knowing so little back then. And if that is the historic trend, I think they know far less than they attempt to suggest. When they stop discovering so much all the time, and stop having drugs with side affects worse than the problem they allegedly cure, I might re-evaluate my position.”

I decided to put this up on my blog so that people can have a fresh look at the subject… a view that doesn’t really exist in the media. There seems to be a lot of push right now for vaccinations, and I HATE IT.

Techno Tuesday

Ya, It's Thursday... what's your point.

If you've never heard of this website, and you're a texter, and you are like me and need a reminder about stuff every now and then, then check it out. No need to explain all the details since it's pretty self explanatory, but basically with this neat little website you can enter as many reminders as you want. Put in date/time or reminder, your phone number, and your message.
At that exact time, you will receive the text you asked for.

I use this site often. You could also use it to remind your significant other about upcoming events so they don't forget. Just sayin' :-P
