Middle America's Worldview

I took some time to appreciate Memorial Day today, while I enjoyed quality time with my kids and family.

I look back at certain movies that came to my mind today. 'The Patriot' to see the deep resevoir of honor and dignity, and see the comarade in the movie 'We were soldiers' with awe.

Yesterday during church the theme of course was Memorial Day and the willing soldiers sacrifices so that others may live in peace. But the true story of Love was that of God giving his only begotten son as a ransom for our sin. To give ones life is to give ultimate love. Of course many know the story of Christ's willingness to die for our sins, but I do not think many actually understand why or truly appreciate the depth. In the book of John we learn that Christ is the only means to God and that path is truly narrow. This fact alone is the sole difference of Christianity compared to any other religion on earth. The fact we as mere mortals cannot equate or work our way through those pearly gates, yet God Himself created a means for us to live eternally with Him.

The fact if you were caught in a crime and stood before a Judge, would you expect the judge to actually let you go without punishment? If the judge had, he would not be a fair judge. God is not only fair but he is pure. He could not let a sinner go unpunish any more than any fair judge. We know in James if you broken just one of the laws, your as guilty as breaking all of the laws. That alone should make us shudder. Especially considering the fact everyone has broken at least one of the laws, most likely all of them. So upon the day of judgment will you bear your sins upon yourself and suffer eternal punishment for them, or would you rather have a representive take the stripes for you? Christ has already paid that penalty upon the cross. All we have to do is ask for him to take our burden and sins asking Him to take control of our lives and He will. Simple really, but so hard for so many. Check it out in the bible.

So today I acknowledge all of those fallen soldiers willing to shed their lives and blood to make this Nation great. But I more so acknowledge the blood shed by Christ to make this world so so miniscule compared to the wonders of life eternal with Him.

I have just returned from a Buisiness trip Friday night and now it's already Sunday evening. Unbelievable how the week can be long yet 3 days fly like a 747 on crack. I just put my two kids to bed and figured I try this blogging out.

I initially started to see 'what the blog' is about blogging. Now I have a good idea. Basically blogger is a means for other people to find interest within this inside community. Fascinating, I checked out some other blogs of same interest and everyone seems to either a) post what is occuring in their lives or b) posting information in their work/home/area situations.

Now that I have an idea of what blogging is, I can safely continue forward and see if I acquire any interest in my mundane life. : )

I am currently reading Ed Sindson book on Revelation. It's a worthy book, I put him up there with John Hagee and that says alot since I have read many John Hagee books and find them to be to the point, yet understandble.

I am off for tomorrow, being memorial day, but I am also on-call from Saturday to Saturday( yes that means I got home Friday and started call the next morning ). I am hoping for a slow week in that regards, otherwise its going to be busy, busy.

The following week, we have vacation. My family and I will be going to St. Louis and I am sooooo looking forward to it. A week of no cell phones or on-call work.

I have to still catch up on the news, I understand the tornadoes rocked Oklahoma and Missouri. The Saudi Arabia hostages were released and John Kerry still double-talks.
I think I will go check some more blogging and see what I can find.

Well, I seen it on tv and I read about them in the mags. Now it's time to get my hands on one. My first posting on the blog. Not too much but a 'Hello World'.

I named it 'My Worldview' because I wanted to express my viewpoints on a myriad of things in regards to how I see them. Everyone has their own view point, ie worldview, based upon their upbringing and chosen lifestyle, welcome to Middle_Americas world view.
