hmm....

Today was a fun day. I did not run into anyone special just had a day off from work. I randomly think about different things in life and different situations. This is common for me.

Today started out with Jen going to work and I wanted to play some Halo Reach. I played three rounds and they were my best rounds yet :) that is not saying to much because I am not that good, but yet it was enjoyable. Next, I heard a huge truck outside and then the door bell wrang and it was the UPS man. I was excited because the new computer case came in today and was not suppose to arrive until Monday. The third exciting thing for me today was I was able to spend some time with my wife and then have lunch with a dear friend.

Before I had lunch I decided to do a little reading in my Bible. I read 1st John 2. I really thought about what verses: 2-11

Love and Hatred for Fellow Believers

 ³ We know that we have come to know him if we keep his commands. ⁴ Whoever says, “I know him,” but does not do what he commands is a liar, and the truth is not in that person. ⁵ But if anyone obeys his word, love for God^[a] is truly made complete in them. This is how we know we are in him: ⁶ Whoever claims to live in him must live as Jesus did.  ⁷ Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. ⁸ Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and in you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.
 ⁹ Anyone who claims to be in the light but hates a brother or sister^[b] is still in the darkness. ¹⁰ Anyone who loves their brother and sister^[c] lives in the light, and there is nothing in them to make them stumble. ¹¹ But anyone who hates a brother or sister is in the darkness and walks around in the darkness. They do not know where they are going, because the darkness has blinded them.

These set of verses come together and give certainty to though who are saved and though who are not. I would encourage everyone to really look at these verses and understand them in all their context. Our home is not this world but we are only visitors here. Try not to get to comfortable because as soon as you do it will be time to move on. Take advantage of the people you meet and considered to be blessed to have ment them. Their maybe another day in this life.

During lunch we pondered the many question young men may have. What can we do with a grill? See any good movies? Talk politics? and of course talk about cell phones and the latest technologies and how we think they can be improved. After lunch, I decided to go to Best Buy to pick up a game that Mom wanted me to have and that trip ended being several hours in that day and never actually getting the game. As the day progressed I continued to go store to store looking for a great deal on many assortments with computer related devices. I was secretly enjoying myself.

When I finally got home my wife made an amazing dinner and then we decided to go return one of the devices I had bought prevoisly in the day and pick up something else. As we left target we decided to go get a coffee from Starbucks and then went to the mall. We walked by the movie thearter and noticed that Sherlok Holmes was getting ready to start so we decided to go see it.

I concur, as does my wife, that Sherlock Holmes character is an insane man, but brilliantly played.

As the day is starting to come to an end I wanted to write about it. This blog will be an active blog and I will be randomly coming on time to time to update and just write what is on my mind.
