The Lord’s second coming has been talked about forever now. It blows my mind even more that it’s mentioned in the Bible that His coming would be soon. (Revelation 3:11 & 22:12,20-21)

I remember thinking when I was a kid that Jesus would definitely come back before 2010, and here it is about to be over with a new year just around the corner.

As a kid I wanted to do five things before going to heaven…

graduate from college
be a millionaire
get married
have sex
be a dad

Those third, fourth and fifth things all go together if you play your cards right.

I don’t know if anyone else has ever felt like it would never happen because it has been talked about for so long and nothing has happened, but I have.

I needed a reminder that this is a promise and not some fairy tale.

Some people are too tied up in things here on this earth.

I’m tired of waiting. He needs to come soon. This earth is cool and all, but I’d take Heaven any day.

I know, I know. 2010 isn’t quite over yet, but it’s close. It’s hard to believe that this decade is almost over.

As I think about this last decade, my mind goes to two events. 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina. Of course this is because those are two events that happened on American soil. The photos really depicted a hurting, confused and frustrated nation. Although these are terrible events, there were tons of other terrible things that happened in the last ten years. Such as the financial crisis, war in Iraq, the Indian Ocean tsunami and Michael Jackson’s death. That last one doesn’t really go with the other things listed, but I’m leaving it.

There were also a lot of great things that happened as well. It’s always seems harder to name the good things that happened, but here are some of those:

Lance Armstrong won his seventh Tour de France.
Electronics became even thinner.
YOUTUBE
100 million iPods sold
twitter

The list really could go on for a while.

Now, I won’t mention presidents because some of you would put Obama in your good column. And some of you would put Bush in your good column.

For us personally the biggest events were getting married, finding out that we were pregnant and moving to Colorado. The last ten years were huge!

Anyways,
What was your big event of the decade? Good or bad.

i’m sure most of you love technology.

you’re probably reading this post on a mac. at least i hope you are.

this is a glimpse of what could be in 2014. it reminds me of the stuff in the movie, minority report.

yes, i love that movie. and yes, i’m a tom cruise fan.

forget the iphone4.

Some remember that exact moment when they accepted Jesus into their life and some just know it happened along the way.

For me, I remember that moment.

I was twelve years old.

I had that altar time with the snot cry.

A lot has happened since I was twelve.

I’ve done some good. I’ve done some bad.

That’s why this relationship of grace through Jesus is awesome.

It’s a daily walk with Him.

How did you come to know Him?

Some people love school. I am definitely not one of those.

Others can’t wait to get out and get their career started. That was me.

Which one are you?

The site has changed a bit.

It’s different because it’s now on Standard Theme.

The 8bit team created one of the best, technically built themes I’ve ever seen.

It was given that extra tweaking goodness from Andy. Yep, he’s the man.

After he created my last site, I had to make sure he helped me with this project. Then he just showed off on this one, folks.

If you ever need something done to your site, make sure to go see him first.

He is by far the easiest person I’ve ever worked with, even when I’m being stupid picky.

Sorry. I might be a difficult person to work with… Sometimes.

Standard Theme is the new TWLOHA, toms shoes or charity water for Christian bloggers.

Ok. That might be taking it a little far, but you get the idea.

Go get into the goodness.

No stop-motion this year.

Here it is. The Christmas tree is up.

Do you have your tree up yet?

As I’ve been reading others’ blogs, I’ve noticed something lately about “Christian” bloggers, including myself. We rarely use Scripture in our posts. Maybe it’s becoming “uncool”… NO.WAY.

I know my reason. It’s because I know someone is reading my posts and knows a lot more about the Bible than I do. Then when I use that Scripture that I think is perfect, someone who knows Hebrew and Latin and actually wrote part of the Bible, points out that it’s not being used in the right context. Yep. That happens quite a bit.

I do learn something from those folks, though.

I’ve been thinking about all of this lately. This shouldn’t keep me from using Scripture. I should share it every chance I get.

I should actually use a verse in every post even if it doesn’t go, just to mess with all of your minds.

Maybe I’ll start with something easy, but profound. Something like John 3:16.

That verse always goes.

So, what’s your favorite scripture and why?

let me be honest here.

for me, blogging started out as a “trying to be like everyone else” thing and ended up being a way to express myself and let my thoughts out on a page. except it’s not that personal journal thing. instead it’s where the whole world can see it. never thought i’d like it really. social media surprised me, too. i like to keep everything to myself, except for this area.

so, when i started reading others’ blogs i noticed they had a niche for the most part. a place where their blog fits in.

but, lately i’ve been thinking about finding where this blog fits. i mean if i just stuck to music or climbing or church, i don’t know if i’d even stay interested. i guess writing all over the place is for my enjoyment, too.

yep. this blog fits in the random category.

so, what do you think?

Should blogs have a main subject or do they work when they’re all over the place?
