| Devourer Wha?Please read the whole thing...I promise to be funny to make it worth it.
I am a Christian, that has been established, but I'm not much of a verbal Christian. You know, I feel that the people I'm surrounded by already know what would come out of my mouth and then 10 fold. I'm a computer geek not a religious guru like oh I don't know EVERYONE I work with! So I keep my thoughts and comments to myself by the thought of, "it is better to be thought a fool, then to open one's mouth and remove all doubt."
I am a preacher's kid, a Charismatic preacher's kid none the less. I've seen and heard and been apart of things that will make you not want to close your eyes at night. I feel like I know a lot about the bible in the essence of if someone has a problem I know how to answer that problem with the bible and encouragement. You ask me what mountain Noah's ark rested on after the flood...I'm out!
But have you EVER gotten so complacent in your "knowledge" that you never ask yourself what to do and just find yourself content to wander around in the darkness playing the martyr? A LOT of us know how to fix our lives if we just listened to ourselves. But we would rather blabber our mouths around all over the placing spewing our problems out on everyone else. Why do you think that God would rather talk to a stranger or a friend about the answer to your problem instead of going to the source? Cause we're FRICKN' STUBBORN that's why. And HONESTLY everyone...seriously think about when was the LAST TIME you got advice from someone that you didn't already know in your heart what they were saying to you? You sat there going yeah yeah you're not telling me anything new that I don't already know. Please say something revolutionary to me that will rock my world. They can't cause you already know what's coming.
Now I'm not talking about addiction problems or problems that take accountability and people and deliverance. I also understand that community and bonding is what God wants for us with our "brothers and sisters to seek out fellowship it's good for the soul" Don't beat me up by being too literal with me here. Just follow me to the end...
Let's talk about tithing for a second. Hurts I know to give up that money but listen here about what I read in Malachi 3:8-12
"Will a man rob God? Yet you are robbing me! But you say, "How have we robbed you?" In tithes and offerings. "you are cursed with a curse, for you are robbing Me, the whole nation of you!" "Bring the WHOLE TITHE into the storehouse, so that there may be food in My house, and test Me now in this, says the Lord of hosts, "if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows." "Then I will rebuke the devourer for you, so that it may not destroy the fruits of the ground; nor will your vine the field cast it's grapes," says the Lord of hosts.
Did you catch that up in vs 8? "You are robbing me, the whole nation of YOU." This is God saying, if you would just give to me, just show me some diligence, some responsibility, some respect, some affection...I WANT TO BLESS YOU! I want to bless the NATION with YOU. See I think people get so hung up on the MONEY aspect of tithing that they miss the symbolism of what tithing is to God. We know he doesn't need the money, but what does he need? He needs to see that we are diligent with what we have and obeying him and showing traits to him that would have him to believe that we are worthy of being blessed and aren't just going to blow it and waste his time/effort. THE SACRIFICE of effort and passion for God.
Not a simple answer to life's problems. Everyone says, "Having money problems? Well just give to God until it hurts and he will bless your sacrifice abundantly!" What you talkin' about WILLIS. Buying a burger hurts right now and you want me to do wha? But think though...what would you tell someone else to do if they came to you with this kind of problem? You would regurgitate something to the degree of tithing is number one. You must be faithful with the small before God will bless you with an abundance.
See...we know how to fix our lives if we would just listen to our spirits and trust that it's God leading us not thoughts from tonight's show of Grey's Anatomy. Why do we find it easier to trust someone who really doesn't know the WHOLE story of what happened. They only really know what we wanted them to know so they can tailor their answer to be what we want to hear.
Let's all not forget where our blessings, gifts and talents come from and give God back what's due. Not because we feel guilty about it or giving with a selfish ambition of getting more back, but because HE SAID, "test me now in this and see if I will not open for you the windows of heaven and pour out for you a blessing until it overflows."
Don't let Satan rob you of your blessings and what God has in store for you and your life. Spend time with God and SHUT UP for once and just let him speak to your heart and you will end up leaving with more peace in your soul then you thought possible knowing that HE is rebuking the devourer in your stead.

| Why...are we so frickin' busy right now? It's supposed to be our "off/down season" but I've been more busy in the past month then I was the whole time of camp. What the?
So Monday night TV is fantastic for me right now.
_HEROS
_STUDIO 60
_THE BACHELOR (I only watch it for Lori)
Then Thursday night...SMALLVILLE!!! New season started. Oh what happiness fills my heart.
Had a CO2 scare the other night in the house. Was up giving Tori a bath and then all of a sudden our CO2 alarm started going off. So Lori freaked and we ran outside and we called 911 cause I really didn't know what to do or who to call. So they send EVERYONE to the house. 5 firemen, 2 police officers and an ALAGASCO guy...oh yeah and EVERYONE within two blocks of our house to. That was special.
Also...tried to cook spaghetti for supper last night. Got 98% of the way through and realized...STUPID forgot to put in the sauce to cook with the hamburger meat. So I went to get it and realized that we didn't have anything but ONE small can of tomato paste. So I followed the instructions on the can on how to make the sauce. Went into Lori's spice cabinet for the spices it asked me for.
Then I tasted it and it still tasted kind of bland to me, so I went sniffing through the spice cabinet for something and found something in a little baggie...I compared it to the Oregano that she's got and it looks the same and SMELLS the same so I felt secure in what I was doing.
So I spooned out a plate for me and a plate for Lori and then sprinkled the contents of the baggie on the plates and handed it off to Lori. She asks me, "what did you put on the top of this?" So I showed her and she just fell out laughing at me.
Anyone wanna guess what I just put on our spaghetti? Yeah that would be CATNIP. This is why I should not be responsible for cooking. We do have a cat just FYI why the catnip was in our spice cabinet who knows.
I'm sticking to Mac & Cheese.

August 26, 2006 is our 6 year anniversary.
What an amazing woman I am blessed to spend the rest of my life with. Proof God's a man cause guys always seem to get to be the ones that marry up! :D
Happy Anniversary Lori! | | |
| Do you want to die?So first off, Lori started to read my last post, and she read the title, "Yeah, they're real" and she says, "what did you write about with the title of "yeah they're real?" And in my most oblivious tone of voice said, "What? The bug guy...remember?" And she laughed and said, "I thought you were going to write something about ::insertwomanchestpartthatican'tsaycausemixedcompanyreadsthis::" Sigh...how oblivious can I be sometimes!
-----------
So BIG GIRL SCHOOL has started as of Monday. Tori's 4 and in Preschool now. Great school, learning alt. Mom and I are mainly learning about how much a bunch of sissies we are regarding Tori. I think Lori cried three times just in the 10 min we were there making sure Tori wouldn't have a melt down. Tori's patting Lori on the back telling her that it will be ok and that she'll see her when she gets out of school. haha
So in true fashion to the Kuehn life never being dull, Tori's got a boyfriend!! Really no kidding. There's this little boy in her class named Dylan, great kid, however Tori hadn't been in the school for more then 4-5min and Dylan comes up to her and puts his arm around her and says, "Hey I'm Dylan, wanna come over to my house and let me show you my snake?" AAAAAAAAnd of course Lori and I went STRAIGHT into the gutter on that one and just busted out laughing like we were in 5th grade and someone just pooted in the middle of class.
So that night (Monday) I'm laying on the bed waiting for her to finish brushing her teeth and she finishes and runs in and jumps on the bed and plops on my stomach and says, "Daddy, can I have a boyfriend? Really it's ok." I'm saying, HECK NO, I'm your only boyfriend till you're like 30(ish)" And then we laugh and giggle and then daddy can't sleep at night now. Anyone got a gun I can borrow? haha j/k...
------------
So the 26th of AUG is Lori's and my 6 year anniversary. We're going to THE Ross Bridge Resort for the weekend and getting massages and what not. So in an effort to not be that guy that walks around in a white robe freaking people out cause I'm a. so white b. so flabby c. so hairy d. all the above, that I'm on my own personal extreme make over. For about two weeks now I've been running every other night and then doing pushups and situps the alternate nights. It's making a difference and I can see changes happening for the better, but holy MOSES am I out of shape. But I'll be even better looking then I already am in the long run. BWAHAHAHA

That's it I'm done, latest update, hope ya enjoyed it

| Yep...they're REALRandom Story:
So we've switched to COOKS PEST CONTROL cause the one we were using is horrible.
So Saturday was the first day of our treatment.
This guy steps out of his truck who is maybe 5"4 and "portly" I guess. Big square glasses, shirt hanging out the back of his pants, and A-W-K-W-A-R-D with females. i don't think this guy even looked Lori in the eyes the whole time.
So we're walking through the house and he's looking in our pantry in the kitchen and says, "Ah a clean pantry, don't see that very often." Then he snaps his fingers and says as God as my witness, "AWWW SHUCKS, that reminds me, I forgot to record MONK this afternoon. I love that show."
Ever have one of those moments that if you actually make eye contact with a human soul your head will explode from holding in the huge laugh that is just waiting to come out?
Oh well just thought I would share a great moment.
