"Somebody trying to scare us?"

That was the quote from British Prime Minister Tony Blair today as the bombs rocked the subways there. Its amazing really. The world we live in today. All that has happened, within my own life time. I was there in OKC the day of the Oklahoma City Bombing. I was appart of, just like all Americans, the fall of the Twin Towers, and now we see our friends getting blown up, and for what? Because some idiot someplace thinks that he knows better and that we need to be taught a lesson. Well, if Britain takes the lesson half as well as we did, then all that will be taught is how to be stronger. I don't know about you, but I can promise you, if anyone other than Bush would have taken the office back in 2000, we wouldn't be here as we are today. I know that everyone hasn't agreed with his policies, or that we even went to war, but its the resolve that he has that keeps this country strong. Its his resolve that he showed on TV right after the twin towers fell, its his resolve that makes this country strong. Just as Prime Minister Blair's own resolve helps to strengthen his people. Its the resolve of our leaders that guide the people. If they don't show backbone, if they don't show strength (and I'm not talking military power either), if they don't show resolve to take this and move on, then what will we have. I was listening to Paul Harvey this afternoon when I heard that quote, and the thought that Paul put with it. That Tony sounded a lot like Winston Churchill right at the moment he said that. Churchill was a leader now. A man who stood up and laughed when half of his country was in flames from the bombings, and man who knew that they could, and would win. What am I trying to say, you know I don't know. Maybe it has something to do with that we as a people are strong, and that its helps our resolve when we have leaders that show theirs, or maybe its that what we see is what we do. All in all what I'm trying to say is, our leaders make a difference, and to see them laugh at whats been done so as to mock our enemies, is just plain cool. "Somebody trying to scare us?" I don't think so.

A New Beginning...

Good Morning All, I am going to start trying to post every single day, with tech news, hacks, gaming, and the best part, scripture. I am a geek, and also a Christian. But above all I am a follower of Christ. I am a father, a husband, a friend, a coworker, a son, a grandson, a cousin, a liar, a cheat, a shameful mass, but because of my belief that Jesus died for me, and rose three days later, I am a son of the King, and a follower of the Most High. And though I am wretched, I will still go to heaven, not because of the things I have done, but because of the sacrifice Christ made for me on Calvary. Jesus, this is for you. Saw something cool on lifehacker today. They always have the cool hacks about well, just about anything. 6 Volt Battery Hack! You'll Be Amazed! - video powered by Metacafe Todays will save you money, trust me. Next on the agenda, the scripture of the day. I will be putting what the Lord lays on my heart here. Todays scripture comes from Jeremiah 17: 5 T...

Things to think about...

Weird day! I don't know why, but its weird. From the moment I woke up I knew that today would be odd. So far nothing has really said that, but I just feel weird. On my iGoogle page I subscribe to the Hack-A-Day widget, and love it. Most of the hacks are a little much for my liking. So that is to say, they take a chunk out of you day to make happen, depending on the project. But a few days ago is so simple, its sick. Its a multi-tool, or thats what the creator calls it. Its just a simple lock pit to me. Here's the vid: Someone lets the s-word out at the end, but you have to admit, that is cool. So simple, just so stinking simple. It just takes the right kinda mind to make it happen. Other musings now. My boss comes back today. Yea...... I hate this place. Okay, maybe not this place, but I am getting sick of it, and she doesn't help any either. She had neck surgery, so I hope she is doing well, I just wish she wouldn't come back. She just drive...

Hello! McFly!!!

Ah yes. The words heard round the walls of my mind as the Lord's voice calls. Don't ever think that God doesn't have a sense of humor, because you would be wrong. Why is it that people seem so hell bent on doing it themselves? Why do we want to rely on our own powers so much? I ask myself this question because I realize that I do it more often then not. And the answer is, because its our nature as humans. Thats part of the fall I guess. Once we realized the difference between good and evil, the flaw was placed in our hearts and then we "thought" we knew something. I realize that there is a higher power, and I believe in Him today. I realize that the downfall for me has been that I wanted to do it on my own. "Morpheus : Do you believe in fate, Neo? Neo : No. Morpheus : Why? Neo : Because I don't like the idea that I'm not in control of my own life. " That is one of my favorite quote, wanna know why? Of course you do. Its because it blu...
