Inspirational Friday - God in art

Welcome to Inspirational Friday.

Fridays are about my journey with God and the things He has impressed on me to share.

Today's topic will actually go over the next few blog posts going into Anime Monday and Warcraft Wednesday topics.

To begin with, I believe God created all things, in a perfect state in the beginning.

He gave us freedom to choose, because he did not want robots. Our ancestors were tricked and chose poorly to sin.

God setup redemption through Jesus Christ.

Now we being in the image of God have the ability to creates wonderful things in art, culture, literature, music, etc. We also use themes consistent with self sacrifice and redemption.

The scriptures say that God is evident in nature, the universe declares his Glory.

I find it amazing that even in pagan cultures, you can find universal truths God has revealed to all mankind.

Monday we will explore this in the anime culture, while Wednesday we will look at it in the Warcraft game world.

Have a great weekend!

Warcraft Wednesday - Panda Monks

Welcome to Warcraft Wednesday where I blog about World of Warcraft stuff.

Today I write about panda monks from the beta.

I love them so far and it will be a debate if therigwin stays my main.

First the did not take out auto attack, but e flow of combat is good. It is a mix of rogue and death knight play style.

Still need to level up further, but I expect good things from these pandas.

More on it next Wednesday

Anime Monday

Part of blogging I learned is to set up a consistent schedule.
So Monday is going to be Anime Monday!

I will blog about anime on Monday.

For those not familiar with anime, it is animation that originated in Japan.

They have children's stories to adult stories as it is the prime medium in Japanese media entertainment.

Now the show I am going to write about today is not technically anime. Some would call it Ameranime (anime made by the USA).

The best one is Avatar the last air bender by nickelodeon.

But I want to blog about "The Legend of Korra" which is the sequel to Avatar.

The released the first two episodes at Korra Nation this past weekend.

The actual shows starts later this April on Saturdays at 11am.

All I can say is this show looks very good so far, continuing the story.

It would be a 5/5 recommendation if it did not contain all the eastern mysticism in it. But it is still very good show showing the conflict between good and evil and coming of age.

I can't wait for this series to begin.

Saturday Night


God's blessings abound.

We saw many come to the Lord tonight.

Myself, I have recommitted to be the husband and father I need to be, in walk with my Savior Jesus Christ.

Man Camp 2

Saturday lunch



It is lunch time and it is steak sandwhiches and cheesy fries and chili.

All I want is a lite salad as breakfast was so much food anyways.

We shall see what I get in a few minutes as I am reserving the table.

Woot, got a salad.

This afternoon holds a nap and archery.

Man Camp

Friday



This is going to be a multi post during the weekend that will all get posted up once I have connectivity back to internet.

It is Friday and I road to camp with pastor Steve. It was a good drive and we got to catch up on things. Camp is at Miracle Camp south of Kalamazoo MI.

It is a nice camp, but Barakel is much more beautiful.

That aside, Tom Harmon is the speaker this weekend.

This is the first he has spoken at this camp but I love to hear him preach.

Following his routine, he gave a gospel speech. This one being his testimony, followed up by explaining the gospel. I think 5 guys went forward at the end and accepted Jesus Christ as their savior.

I look forward to see how God will work this weekend.

Saturday


Above is a picture of the worship band practicing.

Tom was an excellent speaker this morning, but they need to give him more time.

His message was one I had heard before at Camp Barakel.

Draw a line, take a stand, stand on God's truth.

On a plus side found a wifi hot spot, so I will be posting this sooner!

Last I got a shirt.

I guess for supper tonight I get to grill a steak.

Say Hello to Muichan

Yup, I am in the World of Warcraft®: Mists of Pandaria Beta.




And this is my monk, Muichan. This may be the first time I am really tempted to put Therigwin to the side and choose a different main. I still have to see how paladins play, so Therigwin may still stay up there, but so far, I am loving my little panda.

Welcome to my corner

Introductions

Welcome to my new little corner on the inter webs.
I am going to start up blogging again.

I used to blog just about World of Warcraft paladin tanks on my other blog, but here I shall write about all my interests from my faith and family to my gaming exploits and favorite anime shows.

So welcome to my corner, let's have some fun.
