Dont Burn In Hell

So the other night I went to a meeting at my church. I am part of a youth leadership team there. Basically everyone that has graduated college in the youth group now becomes leaders and takes their Bible study to the next level. We also give input to the youth pastor, Sam, on what to preach about during youth services. I find it pretty cool and it keeps me busy. Anyways, Sam started talking to us about how his uncle had just died recently. He was at the hospital and he leaned over and asked his brother, "Do you think Uncle Mike is ready for heaven?" As soon as he asked this question, his uncle passed away. Now if any of you dont know, what he meant by beeing ready for heaven is basically, has he accepted Jesus in his heart as his Lord and Saviour. So if he has not, his sins have not been washed away and Gods wrath has been stored up agaisnt him and he will send them to hell. God has to send him there because He is a completley righteous, pure, and just God. By his Holy nature he has to punish people for the deeds they have done wrong. But, He loved us and made a way by sending His son to earth and baring our sins on the cross. So, Sam thought to himself, I never tried to talk to him about God. Now Sam has no clue where his uncle is at. Its a hundred percent possible that he herd the gospel at some point in his life and accepted it and went to heaven. But Sam says he definatley didnt live his life like he accepted Jesus in his heart. This story has been sitting in my head constantly. I realized their are people in my life that I have no clue as to where they are headed. So I, as a Christian, need to step up and talk to the people in my life and atleast try to give them a choice. Atleast show them whats available in the next life.

P90X

Dang am I sore. So I hurt myself and I cant do my regular strength traing for a few weeks. So luckily for me, I have the P90X program. I have to say it is pretty freaking sweet. The program is straight killing me, but I love the challenge. Every work out I do on that thing just makes my body burn and scream with pain. But man do i feel good after wards. Just the feeling of overcoming the challenge gives me a high of it own. Now although the program is designed to make you look lean and all "pretty boy" like, its still not bad. My main go when working out is to basically get stronger and faster. Ive never really cared about having beach muscles even though i guess it would have it perks. The ladies would definatley check me out alot more. Anyways, its amazing how i need almost no equipment and get in the best work out of my life. Ive only been doing it for a few days and i already am noticing a difference in my stamina, blance, looks, and even strength. The routine requires all kinds of cardio vascular and you do a mother load of push ups and pull ups. If you are looking to get shreded this is definatley the way to go. I caution you though, it is not easy. I consider myself to be in pretty amazing shape, but it just makes me want to die when im doing it. I hate it, but I love it.

Rams Fan

I have to say, I actually had a feeling the Rams were going to take this one. Unfortunately they did not.  The Cardinals are a great team and if the Rams are going to loose to anyone I prefer it be them, given they are my second favorite team. Me and my grandpa are both die hard Rams fans even when they suck as much as they did last year. Every year my grandpa buys season tickets to the Jones Dome. Unfortunately the seats are split up, but both are pretty good. By the way their are four seats, two are 6 rows up from the corner of the in zone and two are along the sideline in the middle of the field. Its really entertaining to have such great seats.  Its nice to see some actual Rams fans in the dome this year. Last year every game I went to it seemed like their were ten opposing teams fans to every rams fan.  The stadium was literally packed with fans from the other team. I have to say that it was pretty embarrassing to be wearing a Rams jersey last year.  Hopefully this year Sam Bradford can pull them up. They may have lost their first game, but I have a feeling that Bradford will do some damage and the upcoming games.  After all the Cardinals are a hell of a team.  We cant expect the Rams to be completely rebuilt and ready to kick some tail right away.  I say give them a few years and we have another Superbowl coming our way.  I'm betting they will make the play offs this year. Hopefully I don't jinx them or anything.

I watched this fight the other night and I loved it. Couture walked right through James Tony. James Tony is some big shot boxer who thought he could just walk into the UFC world and take out Randy Couture. I love how he talked all kinds of trash and was just destroyed in the first round. A boxer can not come into the MMA world with just his boxing tools. Like Couture said, boxing is only a small portion of what they do. Once Couture shot under Tony the fight was over. Tony had no idea what to do and had no ground game. The only things he knows how to do is stand up and box. He doesn't know how to wrestle, how to submit, or how to even throw a decent kick. This fight was pleasing for me because I hate hearing boxers run their mouth saying they can knock out anyone in the UFC. Sure if a fighter played the boxing game he would loose. In the UFC arena you have more to work with and the boxer is only used to fighting a boxing match. Anyways the argument is over now. One of the greatest boxers to ever exist just stepped into the ring with one of the greatest MMA fighters to ever exist and embarrassed himself. Tony did say he would come back thought. His next fight in the UFC should be interesting since he will have more time to work on things besides boxing. In my opinion boxing is a great sport, but it just does not compare to MMA.
