"Our hearts capacity for God is infinite, and the measure of God's presence in our life is gaged by the size of our appetite for God.Those who seek God with passionate, reckless abandon will find that there appetite for God increases as God's presence increases. 5000 people in the desert, hungry...and the Living Word speaks...taking a few meager fish and loaves and feeds them to overflowing. They are filled...and his presence is overflowing...so much so they filled baskets with the leftovers."

Website to Definatly Check out
Hey guys, Im in the middle of reading this book, The Irresistible Revolution by Shane Claiborne, and I came across a few different websites that fight for fair trade. Basically: justice in the global economy. I would encourage everyone to just spend an hour or so reading and familiarizing yourself with some of this stuff and just what goes on a lot of the time behind the scenes with clothes, sweatshops etc and we can do just as regular folks to help.
www.globalexchange.org
www.sweatshopwatch.org
www.corpwatch.org
www.hrw.org (Human Right Watch)
www.Iccr.org (Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility)
In the past I havent had much concern with any of this stuff, and Ive pretty much chosen to ignore it all. I'm hoping that this will improve, and maybe you guys will be challenged to take a step or two, even in just writing an email to a certain cause, or perhaps choosing to not support a certain company involved in exploiting workers. Anyways, check it out. We can make a difference.

Beautiful
Im not sure why I titled this beautiful, just thought i might.. for fun. Well I know it was been a while since ive tended to the ol' blog, but alas... i havent given up completely!
I actually just finished a one month no computer time, and I would highly recommend it for all of you who spend more than an hour on the computer a night that is -not necessary- I think you might be surprised.
For me, I have an addictive personality, so as you could assume I get addicted to computer games pretty easily, Ive played different games on and off for years, but just prior to the month, I was getting back into starcraft for the chewbillionth time... and the computer in general was just way to much of a focus for me. Not even really a focus, it was more of a place where I didnt have to focus, and it just sort of ate up my time. But we all know the routine... come home, sign on msn, check whos online, check your email, check your youtube account, check your facebook, cruise around a bit checking out all these little communities and whats the latest.
Anyways, it was a month well spent, and Im hoping that in doing that, I will minimize my time spent... gaming is now completely out of the scene, which is what I was most of all wishing for.
Ok well Im being called off for dinner, I'd love to talk more about it later! peace be with you.

Another lame post...
Hey everyone, sorry for "another lame post" but heres the website to my msnspace which is now open to the public. I will frequently post pictures on there as fast the limit allows me too. (certain amount per month.) the quality kind of sucks cause it compresses the photos down so much. but hey, photos are photos!

I'll have a good post soon... patience.
