How old are you?

How far back does the Bible go? I know it starts at the beginning of time, but what time line does it give for man? I just read a news article about some Archaeologists finding two newborns buried over 27,000 years ago. The new testament covers the time Christ was here on Earth, which was a little more than 2,000 years ago. That's a big gap. I haven't read all of the old testament & I'm sure I'd get lost trying to do so, but how old does the Bible say the Earth is? Where do these human remains fit in? The article stated that there were other findings in the area that were just as old, which leads me to believe the age of these remains is correct..... so what was going on for those 25,000 years? Did people just live a subsistence lifestyle for thousands & thousands of years? If the time line of humanity is as long as suggested through archaeologists findings, where was God during that time & what kind of relationship did man have with God?

On my wall

I did this tonight, Psalms 143... gonna print it out & put it on my wall next to my desk. I've created a new bulletin board area next to my desk & I decided to put this up.... It's a passage I've liked for quite awhile.

Spirituality 101

I had an odd sleep schedule on Friday, after being home for just 2 hours after work on Friday, I took a nap... that lasted 4 hours. Around 3am I found myself back in bed, but couldn't get to sleep... my mind just wasn't ready to go to bed. So I laid there thinking... I started thinking about my spirituality. I often think of this subject, I grew up with it all around & have it infused in my blood - it is not something I can escape. Although I'm not sure I'd really want to....

I always come back to "seek Jesus." We are all sinners, each with our own vice(s).... & we all choose different sins. I've been taught that one sin is not greater than the other: example - to lust after a woman is the same as actually having a sexual relationship with her. Sin is sin. No one will be put into a situation where sin is unavoidable, with each instance there is a way out. Although we are to seek Jesus & try to be more like Him, each time that option is ignored you choose to sin.... which it is in contempt of what God has decreed. To live like Jesus is to strive for a life without sin. But what are you to think when the same sin is committed again & again... consciously choosing it? I've asked for wisdom & strength to overcome... though I still choose to ignore it for the sin. I guess I'm trying to come to terms with a life that has sin while living a life for Jesus. Despite the sins I do commit, I'm to go on living the best I can.

After I determined I wasn't going to fall asleep... a little after 4 I got up & was awake till 7:30... slept in till 12.

Haven't Posted...

I haven't posted in awhile... didn't really feel that recent events have been portworthy. So here is some filler...

I cleaned my storage room Sunday... it really needed to be done. I've got a few more things to throw away, but it's looking pretty nice. I like having it all organized to where I can get to things if I need them. It is amazing how much stuff I've got.... I'd really like to make some shelving space, there is a lot of little nicknack's that I'd like to display.

We've been really getting into the swing of things at {cc42}. First of all I'm happy to announce I've been elected to the BF2 council. I'm really excited about this... I now help make decisions on the things that really shape the clan. The other council members are all well respected in the community & we all share a strong desire to make cc42 the best it can be. They are all experienced leaders & are down to earth in the decisions we've made. A quick side note, we've also all met in person, a rarity in the on-line world. We are well on our way to becoming a top 10 team. We've dropped down to just three leagues, one of which will be over after this week. The extra time has allowed us to get some more practices in, which we really needed. The team is starting to come together, playing together more & beginning to trust each other... as well as learning each other styles of playing. I & the council look forward to what the next year & beyond will bring.
