New Band
Alright...I had a great idea for a band name on Sunday, and I want yall's opinion on the matter. Mike thinks that the name is ripping off our favorite band, Muse. I don't see how. Yall tell me what you think:
Please welcome to the stage, the totally rockin' band.....
FUSE!
Think I'll get sued?
Weekly news update: July 18-25
Here's what's made news this past week:
There's a
stinking DUST CLOUD "nearly the size of the continental US" drifting amiably towards the Southern states of the America. Wow. Scott Kelly at the National Weather Service believes that the cloud will dissapate shortly after reaching Florida. Now, honestly, being from West Texas I've seen my share of dust storms...I've even seen a day where it rained mud! Crazy. But imagine those poor Florida residents, sitting on their porch drinking their cappuccinos (that's what they do in Florida, right? Sorry Tom..) All of a sudden, a massive swirling cloud of dirt hits. Talk about abrasion. And say goodbye to that $4.00 latte.
But seriously, after all these hurricanes Florida has been hit with, don't you think it's just adding insult to injury to now be attacked by a cloud? Well, according to local meteorologist Larry Mowry, it won't be so bad after all:
"The reason you probably haven't heard a lot about it is because the effects here are going to be very minimal. What we're talking about are beautiful sunrises and sunsets with reddish hues to them. And you may have a little dust on your car if you leave it outside during the day."
Ahhh. So a dust cloud approximately 3,120,062 square miles will provide Florida with pretty sunsets and a little bit of dust on their cars. Well, that's just pretty cool to me.
Another California Finger incident? A San Fransico prison inmate, who happens to be a vegetarian, bit into a human finger that was packaged within his vegie-meal. He's now suing the packing company for $75,000 because of the physical and mental trauma he has experienced, which includes losing 15 pounds of body weight. What's funny to me is that this guy is a convicted drug felon in a maxium security prison, and he loses his stomach and 15 pounds because of the emotional trauma he experiences from a little finger in his veggies. Poor guy.
And lastly on this week's news update: There is an
Egg Alergy Alert! Beaverton Foods, Inc. is recalling Inglehoffer Wasabi Horseradish Code N172 due to undeclared egg. So be careful. I guess that this puts the Yolk Alert Level at code yellow. Ahh haha.
That is all.
A Solid Identity
Just some thoughts: I want to encourage yall to learn to define your identity in a Godly manner.
Who are you?
It's imperative that the foundation of who you are is totally based on Christ. If you reach the point where you are honestly able to say "I am a child of the sovereign God, and nothing that I go through is going to change my identity", hard times will be made much, much easier.
Recently I've relearned just how important it is to have a solid identity, not based on anything in our own lives such as relationships, material items, or talents.
I'm so thankful that God has instilled in me a foundational belief that I am totally dependent on Him alone...and as I go through hard times, I will only learn what it is God is teaching me from the trials. These hard times can't change who
God has made me to be. I've done nothing to deserve His love and grace in my life, nor have I created who I am, but Christ in me.
Let Christ be the definition of who you are.
Seth's First Blog
Hey everyone...welcome to the Training Grounds. Catchy, huh? Mike thought of it.
Mike encouraged me to set up this blog so that I can post cool info like he does on his. I'm not a copy cat. But seriously. If I happen to have the same articles as he does, I wrote them first. Got it? Good.
So. We'll just see how this goes. Please feel free to post comments so we can talk about cool stuff. I'd like to use this blog as a place where we can talk about upcoming events within your own personal lives such as school events, birthdays, vacations, National Shoe and Toe Awareness Day, and/or Statistical Analysis problems and the variations within mathematical statutes. what?
That is all.
