We are still in Beta.

So recently I have been listening to a lot of praise music, and just wanted to say I love it. It is so uplifting and cool. I like David Crowder Band, Jeremy Camp, My Church’s band, Revolve, Aaron Shust and others. Music does such amazing things to you and I don’t know how people can listen to people sing about Sex, Drugs, Violence and other things like that. Why would you want to? Compared to this which is just so great. It feels like walking into a clean room compared to walking into a dirty one. Ok that wasn’t a very good example but oh well. You get it. I love Praise Music and I love my Creator. I love that I was created in his image not just some worthless being that appeared out of nowhere. Praise God!

So I found this video on the Lego site. I decided to renew my subscription to the Lego mag (I know I’m 15, but hey it’s Lego) So I was on the site and found this. If you like Star Wars you will think it’s great. It’s very original.

Think it’s hot? So do I! Can’t stand the heat? I hardly can. You know what this has made me realize? No? Well I’ll tell you. This heat makes me so glad that I know I’m going to heaven. Seriously this is hot, or so I think and Hell has to be soooooo much hotter. Thank goodness God saved us all. Thank goodness we can all be children of God. Thank God!

John 1:12
“Yet to all who received him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God”

Hey I FINALLY got the Winter Formal Pictures online!
Here’s a link.

Summer is beautiful. Sometimes I wish we didn’t have to go to school, especially when I get to hang out with friends like I’ve gotten to Friday, Sunday and Monday. It has been so much fun. This has been the best summer I’ve had so far, thought it will get lonely since everybody is leaving to faraway places. Which leaves the question… what will I do? I would get a Job but I don’t think it’s likely since I would have to work for someone with a permit to hire me. Plus even if I did find someone who had one then it would have to be a job I would at least want to kinda do. I’ll probably start spending to much time on the computer. Hopefully instead I will start spending time outside, maybe get a nice tan. Haha. It’s hard to imagine summers in the good old days. You know summers without houses and buildings everywhere. Seriously there is no giant open fields you can go to. There is no good trees to climb, no creeks to swim in. Maybe I’m just being weird but I’m not sure. For example last night. I went outside while everyone else was watching the movie, because it was at a bad part. Anyway I was trying to see the stars but what with all the street lights, house lights and cars I couldn’t see them. Or I could very slightly see them. So I ended up going to Lincoln School which was better. I could see the stars from their cause there were no lights out in the middle of that slightly open field. It was beautiful. I can tell right now summer is going to be good. Oh and guess what? Summer officially starts tomorrow! So here’s wishing you a good summer!

So we went to Lincoln School on Sunday night. We played sardines and just hung out. It was really fun, and the most amazing thing happened. At one point after playing a round of sardines we were swinging and I decided to just leave and go sit in the field and watch the stars. I started timing to see how long it would be for my friends to follow and then just watched the stars…..oh and started praying. In under 30 seconds I saw a shooting star. Now you might think I’m crazy, but I think that it wasn’t just a coincidence. Then again do you think anything is really a coincidence? Like the earth. Our world? Our universe?

An Oxford physicist Roger Penrose once was talking about a parameter of our universe called the “original phase-space volume” just this one parameter he said would require fine-tuning to an accuracy of one part in 10 billion times itself one hundred and twenty three times. Penrose said later that it would be impossible to write down that number in full. Because it would have more zeroes than the number of elementary particles in the whole universe. Now that’s just ONE parameter, and there are more. So can you really say that it’s just a coincidence that the universe came together? In the book I’m currently reading puts it like this.

Let’s say we were to go to another planet, say Mars and find a enclosed biosphere. Now this biosphere has multiple dials, buttons and switches. So you find this and all the dials are set randomly, but to contain life the have to be set just right, every single one of them. Let’s say that you leave without touching them and a year later you come back, but this time you look at the dials and you see they have all been changed. Not just changed but changed so that every single one of them is at just the right setting. What would you think? Would you think that they had just coincidently been set to that, or would you think that an Alien life form had come and set it. Or something/someone had set it. Coincidence? I think not. Now apply this to the real universe with way more settings, dials, parameters, etc. Can you say it’s a coincidence, that it just sprung up out of no-where? Evolution? The big bang? I doubt it. In fact I know it’s not true.

There is in Intelligent Designer and his name is Jesus Christ. He died for everyones sins, and then his disciples died for this belief. They believed him and most of them died for it. Would you die for something you didn’t believe? They did and they believed the Bible including Genesis 1:1 “In the beginning God Created the Heavens and the Earth” Coincidence? I think not.

So I was reading the other day…. actually I’ve been reading for a while about the web 2.0. I’ve heard good things and bad things. We’ll I’ve decided to mention some things about the web, maybe 2.0 maybe not. Or is it the web 2.0 that we didn’t think about? Anyway supposedly the web 2.0 was supposed to be better than 1.0. I really don’t know what this means, more security and faster or something. The reality is that instead they* are going to most likely start changing the Internet in a bad way. They are going to soon start charging sites extra to have their site load fast. They will charge extra for the extra bandwidth. Now this is a reality to some extent already, for example If I host my site with the top hosting site compared with some dinky little of name company sure it’s going to affect it. But this is to a lot bigger extent. So say I don’t (or actually my dad doesn’t) fork over extra cash to give his sites more speed. This would mean that my web page is going to load a lot slower than say Google or someone who can fork over tons of cash to give their site a lot of speed.

*they being the money sucking over-charging internet service providers and possibly the Governementtext
