June 12, 2010

For the past eleven years I have been a Christian by name only. The last year of those eleven years, I have been in the middle of an intense spiritual battle – I was loosing. Over the past couple weeks, I have been thinking a lot about my spiritual state. I knew, and had know for a while, that I didn’t truly know the Lord.

This morning I decided to go through some of the New Testament to see what Jesus said about folks in my state. I didn’t make it past Matthew 5-7 – Jesus’ sermon on the mount. The passage is rich with texts stating what will happen to those who don’t trust in the Lord. That passage encouraged me to be a Christian in more than name. I am now a true follower of Christ.

Today’s the Day!

Wouldn’t you know… National Parkour Day opens up with rain… rain in the forecast all day long, too. Maybe – hopefully – it will clear up enough for me to get out and do a little running. We’ll see.

Since today is National Parkour Day I thought I’d share, according to American Parkour, what Parkour is.

Parkour is the physical discipline of training to overcome any obstacle within one’s path by adapting one’s movements to the environment.

Parkour requires… consistent, disciplined training with an emphasis on functional strength, physical conditioning, balance, creativity, fluidity, control, precision, spatial awareness, and looking beyond the traditional use of objects.

Parkour movements typically include… running, jumping, vaulting, climbing, balancing, and quadrupedal movement. Movements from other physical disciplines are often incorporated, but acrobatics or tricking alone do not constitute parkour.

Parkour training focuses on… safety, longevity, personal responsibility, and self-improvement. It discourages reckless behavior, showing off, and dangerous stunts.

Parkour practitioners value… community, humility, positive collaboration, sharing of knowledge, and the importance of play in human life, while demonstrating respect for all people, places, and spaces.

The New Blue is Red

For years and years my favorite color has been blue. I love it! Blue is a calming color. It is seen a lot in nature. All my jeans are blue. But recently I’ve begun liking the color red a lot. It’s a very powerful color. It’s the republican color ( ). It disappears in the dark.

I’ve finally made the switch from having blue as my favorite color, to having red as my favorite color. Viva red!

Please Pray

We just found out that something is wrong with my Grandmother – we’re not quite sure what it is, yet – but whatever it is, she isn’t responding at all.

Finished Geometry!

Just finished up the last lesson of geometry about 30 seconds ago! Even though I love geometry, I’m glad to be done.

  lol! I can tell you the password for this one. It’s “silhouette”. I uploaded a photo for a friend and it’s full res, so I didn’t want the poor folks with dial-up to get mad at me when I tied up their computer.
