Tomb RaiderI ordered this game through my GameFly account and it's been sitting for at least two weeks when I was more than 70% through the game. A review for BattleBlock Theater and the need to finish BioShock Infinite blocked the pathway to finish Tomb Raider. And like Lara swooping through and ripping past many of her obstacles, I finally ( Read more... ) -

Matthew 9:9
If Jesus sees potential in you, it does not matter what sort of past or present you have; what matters is what He can bring out and what He sees.
Matthew was a tax collector and tax collectors were despised by everyone. They cheated people in money and Matthew, I am sure, was no exception. But Jesus saw something in Matthew that was ( Read more... ) -

Matthew 9:1-7
There is a character trend going on with Jesus that is being shown: He does not turn people away. In fact, when these people brought a man on a mat, Jesus saw something--He saw their faith. When He saw that, I am positive He could not help but respond to their need. They understood what Jesus could do and who He was and in faith, ( Read more... ) -

Matthew 8:28-34
Jesus did not even get crazy with the demon possessed men. The demons were doing all the talking and Jesus just had to say, "All right, go!" and that was it. That's how much the demons feared Jesuvs.
Here's the thing. Jesus lives inside of me. If I allow Him, He rules my fleshly desires, my soulful desires and He is just as powerful ( Read more... ) -

Matthew 8:23-27
Again, I do not know what Jesus was doing when going into the boat with the disciples but I am going to assume that it was to get away from the people for a while. In fact, it probably was because Jesus did eventually go to sleep despite the storm so I am positive He just needed to rest for a bit.
Anyway, a storm did come and the ( Read more... ) -

Matthew 8:18-22
I'm not sure why Jesus instructed his disciples to move to the other side of the lake but I am going to assume that it had to do a little bit with getting away from the crowds just for a little bit. Even Jesus had to get away.
The next part tells of disciples who were not part of the core twelve who had decided in some form or ( Read more... ) -

My spirit has been focused on the unity of my marriage with Gwen. Not to say we're on the rocks or anything because that is certainly not the case but in the midst of me trying to get a new job and building up my art skills, cultivating that oneness in marriage is pretty difficult ( Read more... ) -

In trying to talk about my feelings concerning this whole corporate prayer thing, I didn't get very far. See, I'm very ashamed of my problem. I shouldn't have it. I know the word and I know what I should be doing yet the fear of judgement is what pops in my mind. I don't think anyone would in this group would but I can't help but think that someone ( Read more... ) -

I was reading my Bible this morning and Psalm 46:1 stuck out to me.
God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble.
That resonated with me because I am in trouble right now. It's more like peril but it is there. I hate my job and I'm fighting a bad attitude all the time. So, it is in these times where I go to God--and He's ( Read more... ) -

There's been a lot going on in my heart and I am full of all kinds of nonsense because I'm not being the type of person I'm supposed to be. At work, I'm impatient with the kids, annoyed by them constantly and have willingness to love them. My fuse is short with my job and it's not really the kids' fault but to some extent, I am tired of seeing the ( Read more... )
