What’s going on at Rick’s house?

Pea Pods and Ocean Palace-
Heroes– spoilers-what’s up with Nathan? Super fast girl is ??? Ando and Hero are so cool.
24- ok, let’s talk about Jack for a moment. I’m not sure about the FBI lady. The president is kind of cool. I like her. It’s too bad she’s surrounded by a bunch of dufuses. Is that a word?
Do you watch the big band theory? It is so funny! I mean we are talking about geek mainstreaming here.
I wrote a new parody song to the Tink Tink’s song shut up and let me go- it’s called shut up and let’s just go to the new star trek movie. Hehehe. Go to http://www.christrocks.com/parody
My friend Jeff. Check out his blog at www.jeffjobb.com he was very kind and has an excellent entry about the difference between religion and relationship.
Here is my friend Jeff from Canada

WORDS OF WISDOM

Romans 10

1Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for the Israelites is that they may be saved. 2For I can testify about them that they are zealous for God, but their zeal is not based on knowledge. 3Since they did not know the righteousness that comes from God and sought to establish their own, they did not submit to God’s righteousness. 4Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

I get something interesting from this-I can’t make my own rules on how to get right with God, I can crave spiritual things, but sometimes that isn’t enough.. I need to find God, and let him be the cure for my craving.

FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
Yeah, this week we are continuing on in the story of how I came into my faith.

My babysitter’s husband used to take me to Payless House of Values and we would buy 45 hit singles on vinyl. The “b” side always had a lesser known song by the band or artist. I used to do radio shows with a mic and cassette. I remember getting my first cassette tape recorder, the little mono ones that had a mic built into them.

Montgomery Wards. Whoa!, it was cool.

I wanted to be a DJ- I actually did, for ten years I spun the discs!

We lived in the country, and we didn’t have cable tv. We had
Black and white TV with rabbit ears!

The day I stepped out of Dorothy’s house-we got a color tv.. and wow, the whole world changed!

With tv cable comes good and bad…
I was skimming through the channels- what’s with that? Why do men love the remote control so much?

I ran across a show on the Christian channel. You know, with eyelash lady and mustache man.

They were doing a show on backwards masking. NO WAY! NO WAY! So I ran upstairs and did it.

I had a sound design all in one stereo system with about 16 speakers set up on it. Maxing it out of course.

My mom used to tell me that I didn’t need to have a rock concert in my room. But hey, of course I did.
I decorated my room with album covers- I wore a denim vest, a KISW SEATTLES BEST ROCK SHIRT and I was into it!

So I pull out the album. Led Zeppelin- the song Stairway to Heaven.

I don’t think it was intentional, but it freaked me out enough to think, that maybe there was more going on behind the scenes in this life.

I do an experiment by turning the vocals backwards, I even say the words and make them go backwards.

Take a listen to what I heard! http://www.takehimwithyou.com/podcast/021509ruinedmyrecord.mp3

I WAS SEARCHING FOR ANSWERS. I knew there was something more to life than just my music. There just had to be!

I believe that every human being was created with an intrinsic desire to be spiritual and make a difference in the world.

We don’t need Superheroes, we need people that will walk in truth, integrity and thoughtfulness. That is some real power, especially in a world of fakeness and financial frailty.

Next Week I’m going to share with you what happened when this old guy that was the pastor of the Church asked me to lead his youth group. Rock and Roll guy, leading some teenagers… we did some crazy stuff… it’s called Ouija boards and Sunday School.
