Pokering...

So it's late Friday night (Saturday morning) and I should be going to bed. The deterrent is that I'm mindlessly playing in a couple-thousand entrant free poker tourney online, and I'm sitting at about 10th. There's a chance I could actually take some money from this thing, albeit a small one. My plan is to play like an idiot so I can either dump off my chips or build a ridiculously big stack that will take me deep into the money. Either one's a win for me. By the way, I've now moved up to 2nd with ~650 people left. I figure while I'm wasting my life away, I might as well share a couple interesting links with you. Here's the first- http://theater.goodfight.org/. Seriously go check this site out. The interesting thing is that this guy (I think) is completely off his rocker, but a good portion of what he reports is probably true. Still this crystallizes why I want to go in to ministry. Some people make their gospel some type of morality or the evils of the 'secular' world. My goal is to follow in the footsteps of Paul and preach nothing but Christ crucified. I don't want my focus in life to be anything other than Jesus' life, death, and resurrection and the redemption therein.

Somewhat related to the first link (since that website essentially calls out U2 as devil worshipers) is this little guy- http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/music/interviews/2005/bono-0805.html. I don't think Bono's theology is right in all things, but it is encouraging to see him show some understanding of the grace of God and be outspoken about it. Along the same lines of well-known figures speakin on Jesus, here's another link- http://www.iamsecond.org/. There's some pretty cool stuff on there, check out Brian Welch's video. Well I'm gonna peace out, and by the way I am currently 12th out of 170. I might just fold my way into the money.
