I am becoming quite insane. I’ve recorded the first and second Kiwi Rossdale demos. They’re both pretty high quality, but the bass doesn’t sound too good in either of them. That should be fixed tomorrow. Also, I re-recorded Spilt Milk with drums. It’s sounding pretty good. You guys should tell me what you think. This week, I will record a lot, so check out my site to see what kind of progress I’ve made.

In other news, I’m reading Foundation by Isaac Asimov. Good times. Mike’s reading it, too. I have plenty of other things to read after that.

I’m not single anymore! That’s pretty cool. It’s been six months, I realized. That’s a while. Danged girls… always got my fanny in a hoodle-bunch. I really like this one. Her name is Shelby. She’s a neat kid.

I figured out how I’m going to live from the ages 18-25 today. I’m going to live in Polo Run in the richest apartment style they have… The Shetland!

 

 

That’s all I need! Sleeping area! Perfection! The recording equipment could go in the living room and I’ll get a Queen size bed so that my baby’s mama can live with me! It’ll be great! I’ll make enough money to pay rent (399-412 a month) and I’ll work at Von Maur during college and then become a teacher at GHS! Of course when I start having kids and getting married and stuff I’ll have to move on but those will be the Golden days!

This Wednesday, I went to my mom’s Bible study with her. Luckily, it was the first day of their digging into Romans. Since I hadn’t missed anything, I was able to dig in with them and put in a little bit of my word on what we were talking about.

In the beginning of Romans, Paul talks about God’s good news for us.¬†There is an introduction telling us that we are forgiven and what not. What it moves into after that is God’s anger at sin. God’s anger at our sin as a people is that he let’s us have our sin. He let’s us cover ourselves in sin and then we have a chance to learn our lesson. This second chapter, I believe, talks about that and what kind of things man started to do when God left us to our own shameful desires. Men started lusting for other men and women started lusting for other women. We did shameful things with our bodies and started feeling sinful emotions towards other people.

Where I came in was to discuss the metaphors that I was seeing as we read in. My view is that we are all marbles. God has a bag of marbles that he wants us all to be in, and we would like to get in, too. The problem is that we desire to cover ourselves in a black coat (aka sin) until it is hard to see God. For some, we cover ourselves in that black coat that we cannot even see God anymore.

God’s anger is that he let’s us wrap ourselves in this black coat of sin so that we can learn from our mistakes. The great thing about our God is that he not only forgives us for pushing him away and surrounding ourselves in sin, but he loves us so much that he is willing to reach out and chip at our coat of sin.

So yeah. I’ve been soakin’ in the werd. Good stuff.
