A Lugee Hocking savior

I'm setting here in starbux and want to say... that I love Jesus in a major way....

LOL.

Why do you think Jesus spat in the dirt and made mudd. He was God he did not have to do that. I'm glad he did don't get me wrong, I just think it was funny and kool and disturbing (to some people, but not to me) that the God-Man sent to save the world (or at least the elect) made mudd with spit. I love it....what if it was done today? Do you think the church would accept it. They didn't then! Kris

Not Left Yet

I got my bike up in my truck (said yoda tuff it was) But I cowboy'ed ???? up and did it. So hold the applause till the end please. Also, I sold my couch and love seat, and my wife just bought a leather sectional sp??. Moving is fun when you get new stuff.



I'm at starbux (that is the way they spell it on their Hear Music cd files) like I am all the time. The 56th street Starbucks is the best in all the world. I have found free wifi here, the store across the street does not have their linksys router WEP'ed so I open up my powerbook and boom, wham, pop, zoewe, thud, crack, whoop there it is free internet.

Moving Pics

I will be posting pics of my move, here is the truck I'll be moving in. After shots (full) will be posted also. I have a good route picked out. I'll be posting that route soon. But for now just pics of the rig. I'll try to find some wifi heading across the country. This should be exciting. Well I have to start manhandleing furniture. Kris

Awesome Post

This guy (Steve) is really creative. He has a good blog to follow if you like to keep up with people and their stuff. This is one of the funniest things I have read lately.

I'm irregular

A irregular blogger....lol I am packing . I hate moving. I have to finish packing and drive our stuff across the country. I would much rather blog and set here (at Starbucks) all day long, but I must go see my wife and new son (Josiah). They are in Bremen waiting on me.

Well I'm leading our home group tonight. The book we are reading is The Unquenchable Worshiper by Matt Redman Great book!!!!

I love this Post

I know I am prostituting another person's blog, but I just can't help it, I love what he says. I have to say it makes me wish I worked at a place like that. Maybe I will?????

Tony had a cool insight when he read this post from Seth.

Bremen, GA

Everyone I know asks me where we are moving. I am going to post some info on Bremen.
First of all, it is a tiny city about 45 min from Atlanta which is just far enough away. Atlanta is huge it ranks pretty high when it comes to big cities in the US. It is the cultural center of the south, in my opinion. You can find anything you want and some things you would never want. Well that may answer some questions you may have.

We Have Gone Too Far

America's obsession with looks has gone too far. Don't get me wrong I enjoy beautiful people, but I'll just get right to the point. The other night I was surfing the TV and found this show called America's Next Top Model. I watched for a little while and I was really ticked..... They sent a girl home. Well, first of all she was considered full sized which in street terms means that she actually had curves and a figure!!! But the thing that really killed her was that she would not pose nude!! This wasn't like playboy nude, but nude with that paint stuff on your body that makes you look like you kind of have clothes on (but really she would have still been nude). She was from Atlanta and said she did not want her kids to see her like that and she had a husband and basically it was against her morals. Way to go girl, stand up for what you believe. But that got her sent home. I was mad. I don't know weather or not this was a new episode, or in syndication, or what but I turned it off thinking that something was wrong. Forgive me for being so blunt but this is my blog. What do you think?

When One Bleeds We All Bleed!!

Look familiar? 9-11/7-7

Least we Forget. Pray

This may be coming!

The phone is labeled the E790:

It will be like a iPod shuffle in function. Very kool, but it may be a while before it shows up on the market. I don't know about you but I would much rather have a few songs on my phone than a lousy camera. It should sync with iTunes and have sound as good as a full size iPod.

This is from a rumor site that got leaked from a website in Israel. (Link in title)

Ok On A Lighter note... LOL

This is cane syrup. Good Stuff!
As some of you know I was a Youth and a Music pastor down in South GA for a little while and one thing that people always talked about was cane syrup. It is not molasses and not some weird honey. This is made from corn, not sugar cane. Different it is, but bad it is not! I do find the label quite funny though. I love the south, it's different from anywhere else in the world. Well, I’ll let the pics speak for themselves. Kris

The Best Thing I have Read In Like....Forever

This blew me away. Please read this! It may a little long, but I have not read something so true and real in a long time. This is coming from me... A "culture guy" I have been culture crazy, but I have some stuff to think about. I have been challenged by this article. Wow, I say this from my heart, this deals with what really matters.

Please comment I want to hear your opinions.

Hello ?

I was just Chillin on my G5 today and ran across this article. I have seen so many security warnings from Microsoft I could not possibly count them. If you aren't using a Mac, then there are a few things you need to do to try and protect yourself from the Big Bad Cyber Wolf. Cuz using IE on XP is like walking through the cyberspace woods in your little Red Hood.

It's the WWW! Full of people ready to steal your stuff. Sure, with a digital mugging your not going to walk away with a bloody nose, but that's not the worst thing that can happen to you. You wouldn't leave your wallet in the seat of your new Lexus parked in the "bad" section of town while you decide to hop out and walk your 5 pound Yorkie! Cyberspace is scary enough, use a good browser that is safer. Nothing is 100% safe, but Firefox is pretty ironclad when it comes to surfing the web.

Easy Podcasting

Apple just released iTunes 4.9 yesterday. This version is updated to support Podcasting. Already tried the podcasting and Apple makes it very easy to import a feed . They have always been the masters of drag and drop. Just get the URL feed for the podcast you want to subscribe to and drag it to your podcast playlist... that easy. They did it once again, Mac simplicity.

Here are some feeds about the Emergent Church I have tried so far.

Something I just discovered was a link to a list of different blogs dealing with all things emerging.

I will state as a disclaimer I do not necessarily agree or disagree with any or all of these authors. Peace out...Kris

Neo....

I have been following the white rabbit for a while now. But I now have in front of me ... A choice

"This is your last chance. After this there is no turning back. You take the blue pill: the story ends, you wake up in your bed and believe whatever you want to believe. You take the red pill: you stay in Wonderland and I show you how deep the rabbit hole goes."

I took he red pill. Life is different, and oh yea.. the rabbit hole is deep. I'm still learning about life where I am now. Every Sunday I get jacked in. I get to see my friends. I love them, but some of them don't want the choice, they never even cared to follow the white rabbit. Others took the blue pill and believe whatever they want. The people that took the red pill stand out, we recognize each other after just one conversation. They still jack in for the same reason that I do. To find more potentials.

I love The Church, (God's people) however there are some problems. I tired of the masquerade party. It is about time we take off the mask and let people in. We have to stop guarding the skeletons in our closet and be free of the crap we fear the most. Being found out as sinners.

I Want Money... lots and lots of Money

This article (not by me) says a mouthful of truth, some of which is hard to swallow. I think we as a church need to rethink some of what we are teaching people. What do you think?

The Grand ole' Duke of York

This gets a little personal I hope this does not make you nervous, or God forbid hurt your opinion of me! LOL

One of the hardest things for me to do is to get up after I fall. Generally I am pretty good at anything that I do but, when I fall I fall hard. I know plenty of people like me. It's kind of like "When your up your up and when your down your down but when your only half way up your neither up or down". This describes a lot of people, usually us people that have a more creative or artsie side to our personality. We have to work hard at being balanced. I don't take getting crushed well (who does?) I have to work hard at getting up if people saw me fall. When I get embraced it turns me into a monster, and I react harshly.

When this happens to me I must try to do the thing that is Christlike. Just cowboy up instead of laying there and bleeding. My pride or ego is the thing that always hurts the most when things like this happen. God has his way of teaching us. I pray to learn what I have to soon so I can get on to the next chapter in my textbook and ultimately my next lesson. KLB

Life and Death

My mother died a little over 4 years ago. It was the hardest thing I have ever endured. I cried for a long time. My son Josiah was born 6 days ago. I laughed, I was overjoyed, I could hardly contain myself. Then I started to think of the pain this child would have to endure to live in this world. I thought of the heartache, sickness, and ultimately death he would be acquainted with. Then I was reminded of something I read once that a church father said a long time ago. He said "We should cry when some one is born and rejoice when they die". What the heck? That made no sense to me then. But now.... I get it. Life is hard and wonderful all at the same time. What joys we do have, we should enjoy them. When someone dies (in Christ) we should rejoice.

This Is New
