Just so I can say...

...I blogged more than twice in 2007!
Life is cool.

What do you do with a space man?*

Woah...long time no blog! I had to "rescue" this thing...'cause it was too old or some business like that. Yeah well...I deleted my myspace. Almost. It takes a while I guess? Whatever. Life is cool lately, real cool. I don't think I've mentioned the classes I have this quarter; Chemistry 139 (boring, except two of my favorite people are in it... :D), Volleyball (awesome), Physics 110, Math 120 (fun stuff...really), and ultimate frisbee. Yeah...really. It's a class. Only in Washington! Oh yeah...I saw Pirates yesterday. It's a fun movie. Go see it! And if you're super bored...come visit me at school. I'm kinda done writing for now. Cheerio!
*Park in it, man.

And you thought...

I was dead. Admit it. But noooooooooooo! I was only mostly dead! Big freakin difference pinoccio! So yeah...I'm taking my second quarter of classes at OC. English 104 (tech writing), Math 119 (pre-calc), Speech 151, and Ballroom dancing. Which is a riot. So I'm a little busy. Oh and I acquired a laptop, my grandma actually gave it to me. So that's what I'm writing on. See how much better my spelling is? I kept saying it was the keyboard...I wasn't lying. Ok...I was. never mind. bah. My lies never last very long. It's usually not even worth it. So...you might be wondering, why is Joe updating his blog? Well you see, I'm trying very hard to procrastinate and I ran out of things to do. This is a very bad habit. I love penguins. Porcupines don't know. Sand doesn't know. Trees don't know! This is a song I made up...It's pretty cool. Do you have any idea how tired I am? Probably...cause you just read all that pointless rambling. In fact, from this point foward, I'm not going to use the backspace key. It'll probably get kinda wied. weird. Some retard at OC thought we needed a speed dating thingy. Yeah so I saw the list and there's like 50 guys on it. Not so many girls. Which basically sums up OC...Half the guys there are creepy stalkers. Ok, that's about it. And you know my post's are worthless without pictures so here you are:


Purple Penguins!

Sola Gratia

Today is Reformation Sunday. On this day in 1517, Martin Luther (my favorite rebel) nailed the 95 Theses to the Castle Church door in Wittenberg. the event created a controversy between Luther and those allied with the Pope over a variety of doctrines and practices. When Luther and his supporters were excommunicated in 1520, the Lutheran, Reformed and Anabaptist traditions were born. So that's how it is.

Ephesians 2:8-9
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast.

Acts 15:11
But we believe that we are saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus, just as they are.

Romans 11:6
And if by grace, then it is no longer of works; otherwise grace is no longer grace. But if it is of works, it is no longer grace; otherwise work is no longer work.

Some sweet hymns for ya:

Not What My Hands Have Done:

Not what my hands have done can save my guilty soul;
Not what my toiling flesh has borne can make my spirit whole.
Not what I feel or do can give me peace with God;
Not all my prayers and sighs and tears can bear my awful load.

Your voice alone, O Lord, can speak to me of grace;
Your power alone, O Son of God, can all my sin erase.
No other work but Yours, no other blood will do;
No strength but that which is divine can bear me safely through.

Thy work alone, O Christ, can ease this weight of sin;
Thy blood alone, O Lamb of God, can give me peace within.
Thy love to me, O God, not mine, O Lord, to Thee,
Can rid me of this dark unrest, And set my spirit free.

I bless the Christ of God; I rest on love divine;
And with unfaltering lip and heart I call this Savior mine.
His cross dispels each doubt; I bury in His tomb
Each thought of unbelief and fear, each lingering shade of gloom.

I praise the God of grace; I trust His truth and might;
He calls me His, I call Him mine, My God, my joy and light.
’Tis He Who saveth me, and freely pardon gives;
I love because He loveth me, I live because He lives.

Amazing Grace:

Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.

’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed!

Through many dangers, toils and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.

Yea, when this flesh and heart shall fail,
And mortal life shall cease,
I shall possess, within the veil,
A life of joy and peace.

The earth shall soon dissolve like snow,
The sun forbear to shine;
But God, Who called me here below,
Will be forever mine.

When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun,
We’ve no less days to sing God’s praise
Than when we’d first begun.

We Live On Front Porches and Swing Life Away...
