looking for the key to the ignition

The blog world is, well, daunting.
I've had the idea for a new blog for over a year now and getting it off the ground has proven to be a bit of a challenge.
While the "template" choices range from scrapbook style to the cheesy-ness of a twelve year olds myspace there even more complicated then simply "cut and paste"-ing you're way to personalization. You've got to consider your "adwords" and other such things that make it very, very confusing.
I'd like to literally cut and paste pictures of what I want and hand that compilation over to someone who will then reach further into my brain and pull out a masterpeice. Ideally.
Not only that but for some reason using wordpress isn't as easy as I thought it would be-it's taking me some time to learn how to navigate around there.
Ah well I should get back to all of that. I just thought a simple blog on old faithful would maybe ignite some leftover blogging passion.

Give me 6 minutes and 30 seconds

There are few days where I go without a worship song burned in my brain.
Today it's been this one, "Soon" sung by Brooke Fraser on the new United cd. I included the words because they're more rich then most worship songs ("with unveiled face I'll see Him") I love that line.
Pretty much all day I've been basking in this song and I encourage you to do the same.

Soon" Lyrics	[edit]
by Hillsong United | from the album Across the Earth: Tear Down The Walls

Soon and very soon
My King is coming
Robed in righteousness and crowned with love
When I see Him
I shall be made like Him
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
I’ll be going
To the place He has prepared for me
There my sin erased
My shame forgotten
Soon and very soon

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I’ll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon
See the procession
The angels and the elders 'round the throne
At His feet I’ll lay my crowns My worship
Soon and very soon

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I’ll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon

Though I have not seen Him
My heart knows Him well
Jesus Christ the Lamb
The Lord of heaven

I will be with the One I love
With unveiled face I’ll see Him
There my soul will be satisfied
Soon and very soon
Soon and very soon

The Onion Sandwich

If Elizabeth is what you crave, today you're going to be disappointed as we're fresh out of her thoughts and instead offering you a delightful little treat known as The Onion.
I have recently been turned on to this website and thought a slice of it would do my customers some good. ("the onion" while being a multi-layered, potent vegetable is also a multi-layered humorous take on the news. You may reference it at www.theonion.com).

Criss Angel's Nephew Forced To Sit Through Another Lame Mindfreak

EAST MEADOW, NY—Sixteen-year-old Jake Howell groaned and rolled his eyes Monday evening as he was subjected to another embarrassing performance by his uncle, famed illusionist Criss Angel. "When I was younger, it was cool when he'd crank up some thrash metal, cut open his forearm, and remove a penny he'd just swallowed inscribed with my initials, but now I'm just like, come on, leave me alone and eat your dinner like a normal person," said Howell, who has requested he not be seated next to Angel during Thanksgiving this year. "I don't know how much longer I can keep pretending like he's freaking my mind." Debbie Howell, Criss' sister, added that while she too finds her brother's antics tiresome, she's just grateful he finally has a job with health insurance.


This next article is seasoned with more truth then funny. After reading it instead of laughing I went...Huh, you know, he really did die at 12....Read on...

King Of Pop Dead At 12

LOS ANGELES—Michael Jackson, a talented child performer known for his love of amusement park rides and his hobby of collecting exotic animals for his Neverland Ranch, died from sudden cardiac arrest Thursday at the age of 12. The prepubescent singer, who enjoyed playing dress-up and often referred to himself as "the King of Pop," was celebrated for his naïve exuberance and his generosity toward other children. "This is a terrible loss for music and for all of us," brother Jermaine Jackson said. "He had so much potential to blossom into a gracious and mature human being. As it is, the world will never know the genius Michael Jackson might have become had he grown up." The singer leaves behind a large body of hits, 25,000 unopened toys, and nearly $400 million of debt.

Why others morn the loss of him, I will never understand.
