Divorce

I recently found out some good friends are divorcing after only 2 years of marriage. We don't live in the same place as them since we moved in the summer of 2007, so I don't know the whole story yet.

What I do know is that our culture teaches this:
a. FIND the right person.
b. FALL in love.
c. FIX your hopes and
dreams on this person for
your future fulfillment.
d. If FAILURE occurs repeat
steps 1, 2, & 3.

While it should be teaching this:
a. BECOME the right person.
b. WALK in love.
c. FIX your hope on God and
seek to please Him through
this relationship.
d. If FAILURE occurs repeat
steps 1, 2, 3.

This was from a sermon last summer at my church.

I was shocked when I heard the news, and it made me very sad. Then an interesting thing happened. I was angry at my friend for not talking to me about the situation. I thought I should have been someone he could come to for counsel. That is gone now, and I am praying for them

Paul Scholes

I became a fan of Manchester United during my senior year of high school after they won the treble in 2000. One player who I have been a huge fan since then is Paul Scholes. His specialty is the long rang blast and he has had few in his outstanding career.

Some of his goals

Proverbs 31:10
Who can find a virtuous woman? for her price is far above rubies.

I was reviewing some notes for FPU, and I read this verse again.

I love the book of Proverbs, and this seems right to me.

24 is back and good

In honor of season 7 of 24. Here is Jack Bauer and co. from 1994.



Season 7 started off slowly for 24, but I think it will be good. The last few years they have tried to start off strong, but they faded down the stretch. I also like the change from LA to DC.

Why do bad guys always get shot/blown up/poisoned or otherwise killed just before they reveal vital information? If his conspirators are going to kill them because they are talking to the good guys, why don't they kill him sooner? Maybe they appreciate the dramatic effect.

iTunes vs Amazon MP3

My first ever blog post was about the iPod shuffle I bought and some thought about iTunes. I refued then (and continued) to buy music that had DRM. With no way to do this in iTunes, I used bittorrent to illegitimately acquire music.

Last year Amazon.com started an mp3 store with DRM free. From then on, they have been my choise to acquire music. It's not like I get a lot of music, I have 20 songs from them, some free, from amazon mp3 in about a year since I discovered it.

At Macworld 2009, Apple announce that iTunes would be expanding their DRM free iTunes+ program to eventually have their entire collection available DRM free.

I think I will start using iTunes as my primary source with Amazon as a backup. Exciting times for music fans.
