My Manhood Before And After Jesus

I was just thinking yesterday about how my manhood has changed from the way I was before I came to Jesus in 1989. My conclusion was that I know of few men who would willingly admit he used to be a sorry excuse for a human being before he came to Jesus. We all want to glorify our past in many ways. I had my heroes growing up as well that I had to re-think of why did I admire them so much. If I was half the man before that I am now, I would still be married and my children would be much better off. That's just the way it is. And there would be less pieces for God to pick up and put back together. There's no reason for us to continue making a mess for God. It's madness and insanity. A good first step for men who are Christians is to admit that he used to be a dirt bag and share that with younger Christians to save them much trouble ahead of time. Joyce Meyer said, "There's no sense in becoming a sneaky Christian from the beginning", before praying for hundreds who came forward for salvation.

Sage Stallone News, Parents Outliving Children, & Public Knowledge of Celebs Family matters

  I've read so many interesting, comforting, insightful, and even horrible comments by people who comment below internet news articles, following the passing of Sage Stallone, 36 yrs old.  My prayers go out to the Stallone family and friends. But I will focus on two thoughts that were brought up. (Yes, believe it or not, journalist or so-called journalists, get many of their ideas, now, from OUR comments. So be careful what you put out there. You're giving away your thoughts. Make whatever you write useful instead of foolishness). So, the following are my take on these thoughts that I'll call, "common thought".
  1.  It's selfish to believe "parents should never outlive their children". Too many people subscribe to false thinking in common cliches and catch-phrases. I have three children, in their mid and late 20's now. My oldest is a girl, and the two younger are boys, and I love them dearly. Today is my youngest's birthday. My middle child's birthday was 3 days ago, and my oldest's is in 6 days, all in July. That's a whole story right there. Nobody wants their children to die, but children don't want their parents to die either. It's not a crap-shoot. It's just the way it is.
 About suggesting celebs family deaths be private. I wonder if it's part of what they (and even politicians), signed up for. Their whole livelihood is generated from pretend, and acting, but what's real should be shared. There's actually a good positive way to see that. Because if reality wasn't part of an actors personal life, then their whole life would be based on pretend, deception and fantacy, in which acting is comprised of all that and much more. What a great opportunity to connect with fans and society in a real manner, with things we all can actually learn by, instead of be entertained by. Never mind the poperatzi and media. At least they are there to record for the rest of us to observe. We aren't people who look at them as animals in a zoo. There's too many twisted analogies people come up with to satisfy their own negative personality issues. Everything that ever happens is history, and if we don't learn from it, we are doomed to repeat it.

1.7 Mag Carlsbad, CA May 16, 2012 Earthquake Info Wiped off of The Web

1.7 Mag Carlsbad, CA May 16, 2012 Earthquake Info Wiped off of The Web

 Following this update, go to the bottom link, where I have more detail from my blog I wrote August, 2011. 

 I can't figure why this link no longer goes to the site. It wasn't wiped out good enough because the link is still there. And I provided the info that's stil available before it's no longer available. If you go to the usgs website and site-search for "Carlsbad, California", the link will appear. But the link won't direct you to the info page. There's a dormant volcano in Carlsbad, too. I wonder if property value and earthquake insurance is based on publically available seismic data? Here is what appears after the site-search from http://earthquake.usgs.gov/search/?q=carlsbad%2C+California&cx=012856435542074762574%3A49ga9ubtojk&cof=FORID%3A11&sa=Search&x=23&y=7

Now, here is some updated info on the "volcanic plug", Mt Calvera, from http://www.preservecalavera.org/calavera.html
The word calavera means skull, which probably comes from the unusual shape of the area's centerpiece, Mount Calavera. The 513-ft. Mount Calavera is not really a mountain at all but rather a 22 million-year-old volcanic plug. A volcanic plug is a mass of volcanic rock that solidified in it's vent and feeding system millions of years ago. When the volcano becomes extinct and starts to erode away, the "plug" is all that is left behind. Mount
Calavera is one of only three volcanic plugs in Southern California. In the early 1900's, the ancient plug was mined for gravel. The mining was accomplished by stripping away it's west face and continued into the 1930's. What is left is a rather remarkable blemish on the side of the mountain that somewhat resembles the Grand
Canyon. You can easily spot Mount Calavera from either northbound Interstate 5 at Cannon Rd., or westbound on Lake Blvd., just past Oak Riparian Park.
Now, here is my blog from August, 2011, with more detailed information on California's volcanic and
earthquake possibilities as well as some awesome photos and maps with credits and source links of detailed
