Something Good to Say

for selective values of good

Caption1: Butterscotch Schnapps... The best kind of alcohol and (butter)scotch I’ve ever tasted.  Might not have been this brand, but I recommend it for all parties.

Caption2: Caramel Salmon, the most favorite food of the great webcomic creator, Christopher (Chrispy) Paulsen.  May his fun last long and health be renewed.

These are also not my pictures either.  Look up Butterscotch Liqueur and Pinterest if you want.

Caption: Excuse me, Sir?  Can I have your attention, please?

This is not mine, it is owenbreon’s on imgur.  I just wanted to have my own testing ground for when I link to pics.

Changes

I have great plans that will change things around here.  I will figure out how to make a panel that will appear as the mouse reaches the right side of the page, or more likely at the push of a button.  It will hold more buttons to access things like playlists among other special features.  Once I learn how to program things in this world I will be unstoppable!!!!!!!

I had a lot of great entertainment and experiences as a kid, and as I grow up, I notice that there are still a lot of things to get into.  I like to call the especially great shtuff that became a part of what influenced me: pieces of my childhood.  Things like playing with my friends, catching fireflies, playing or watching or reading certain games, tv, or (comic)books, or going out to find out where the creek near my house runs out to (a water runoff system next to the park).  There’s a story there.  I’ll tell it when anyone gets interested.  Now don’t be confused, don’t get it twisted - you (hopefully) never stop gaining new pieces.

So I need to figure out what I like to do here

I like making lists, communicating with people, being random, supporting my friends, making jokes, various cartoons (American and Anime), comics (especially Calvin & Hobbes), webcomics, red&blue for friendship, not being an active fandom guy, boardgames, games in general, Pokemon Go, Nerdy Stuff, science, not evolution, talking about our differences, moving on, other shtuff

Well, who am I?

I am a Caucasian guy, 24, living in Oklahoma in the US. 

I am a Christian - I believe there is a loving, holy God who created the universe and has complete rule over it, for all time.  He gave his creation the choice(s) to recognize him as the only one worthy to worship and follow.  At some point, both his servants in heaven, angels and greatest servants on earth, humans, rejected his authority and rules.  This is a bad thing to do when the one who created you also has the power to uncreate you and has given you everything you have and all the faculties to enjoy it!  The only thing that the guilty deserve is an eternity apart from God’s presence forever, which means ultimate suffering and decay, because we always underestimate his holiness.

So God had all reason to destroy the most important parts of his creation, but he decided to use this tragic disobedience to show that he is more powerful than the (eternal) death that comes with disobeying him and disobedience itself.  He used the symbol of life, blood, to give humanity a way to come back to him and live.  He gave humanity promises that someone born of a woman would come and not only be a scapegoat for God’s wrath but allow humanity to be redeemed and forgiven for all disobedience forever, and utterly break the weapons of the fallen angel, Satan (who deceived humanity in the first place): the threat of death and hell. 

These promises were fulfilled by a man born in the tribe of Judah of the nation Israel, a nation God chose as his holy people (chosen to reveal God to the unbelieving nations).  This man, Jesus, was unlike any other, because he was with God and was God even before he was born.  It’s this duality where he was as human as any human is and fully God at the same time.  See this God-man was the only solution to God’s problem: how to make an imperfect humanity acceptable and perfect in the eyes of God.  Only God could truly do away with the stain that disobedience causes in humanity’s spirit and soul - he had to bear the holy, consuming wrath of God by becoming what he hates most (disobedience) and die the humiliating death of a criminal.  

There he hung on a cross, the most innocent, holy man to ever walk the earth; dying, obeying the will of God, that disobedience, decay, and death (both physical and spiritual) may die with him.  At the point that all disobedience weighed on him, God (for the only time, from eternity past to eternity future) could not focus on this God-man, his only Son (note that this means Jesus was part of God as something of the same essence but somehow separate).  Since this God-man could not possibly disobey God, he was the only one worthy to act as a sacrifice on behalf of all who disobey, and so when Christ (the chosen one) did give up his life, he made the way for all who believed God sent him, to live unified with God forever both as they live and after they die. 

After three days of being dead, he was raised to life to live forever (we can be sure of this because he was seen by at least 500 people for at least a few weeks, and nowhere is it found that he looked like he had decaying skin as what happens at three days postmortem).  This had never happened before and is the sign that if we hold belief that Jesus, as the Son of God accomplished God’s will to become, and pay, the punishment of disobedience in our place, we will similarly be raised to life as Jesus was. 

As renewed in Christ, we are free from guilt, shame, and spiritual death, from the fear of death, and from a life that never satisfies no matter how hard we try to entertain ourselves. 

So instead of constantly working to be perfect, happy or successful, people can live a full life in God’s loving arms, living his way, following the Holy Spirit’s leading, and trusting God to provide for all (not even kidding - ALL) our needs.  To be a Christian is to trust God to fulfill his promises, follow Jesus’ example, and to want what God wants in your life.  It’s a change in perspective and lifestyle focused on Christ the savior.

Along with that wall of pertinent info, I go to UCO to learn how to be an engineer and to eventually have the opportunity to design cool things that either help people, are toys or board games, or are construction related.

I am geeky and nerdy.  I love cartoons and videogames, especially retro ones.

You might be able to find me in the comments of some of the Webcomics I read.

Now that that’s over, Rules:

This blog thingy is meant for all kinds of people, and no discrimination will be made based on the identity of anyone, whether they are male, female, young, old, poor, rich, disadvantaged, gifted, famous, infamous, (”race” here), (a different “race” here), random cat playing on keyboard, homosexual, or heterosexual, religious, atheist, nonreligious, skinny, fat, short, tall, vegetarian, omnitarian, or vegan... If I disagree about anything you do or say, it isn’t because of who you are.

If you have something good to say: go ahead and say it, but be warned that arguments will occur and you may not be popular (or right).  Also, ultimately, “good” is ultimately up to God and I retain the right to disregard, argue against, or ban any foolish ideals that are discussed in my domain, that do not match up with the counsel of the Bible.  If you constantly attack my view (or any other’s) you are subject to being blocked by me until you decide to act humbly and nonviolent word-wise.

Don’t be a jerk: No name-calling, swearing, lying, starting fights, or put downs.

Just because someone’s grammar or spelling is off doesn’t give any rights to criticize.  If you can understand it and it isn’t in a professional setting, it doesn’t matter if it is technically perfect.

No images or content involving the promotion of grotesque violence, drugs, sexual practice, ideas clearly harmful to others, or otherwise blatantly offensive material will appreciated and will have to be destroyed!  If whatever you have is harming you, why don’t you remove it and focus on something good?

Change, hope, and redemption are essential for life.

If something screwy is going on, let me know about it and I’ll try to fix it.

Jokes and stories are appreciated, as long as they comply with the other rules and even more if they are not (overly) political or religious.  Be warned that people have the ability to take whatever you put out and may use it in a way you might not like.  Puns are accepted.  Innuendos are not.

References are great as long as I like the meaning behind them.

Be silly, be odd, be weird, be creative, be respectful, but most importantly, be loved!  (not in a creepy way).

More rules are likely to be made

Red and Blue is for friendship (even rivalry can be constructive).

Greens represent brotherhood.

Rainbows represent God’s promises, hope, and beauty.

If you can avoid it, don’t douse everything in bright yellow: seriously, who are you, the sun?

For that matter, who am I, a brick layer - cause I just set up a wall of words... worth it.

(C) 2017 > > Intro Begin:

Heyo peeps!  It is great to have you here! 

I decided to finally put something on here.  I’ve never been too fond of social media and I don’t expect masses of people to pay attention to this page, but I just wanted to create/be a part of an atmosphere that uplifts and is also fun.  I want to be clear that (almost) all kinds of people are welcome to ask me things about (almost) all kinds of stuff, however, I am not the kind of guy who will go along with whatever ideals you have and don’t expect you to for mine, capisce? 

Anyway, in the name of Truth, Hope, and Peace, let this blog thingy be opened!
