The Tree of good and evil

Last night my wife was reading to my daughter and I from my daughters Childrens bible. She started from the beginning. While she was reading through it I just thought about how things were before sin got introduced to humans, to Adam and Eve.

I mean we can't ever think or have a concept of how it was, and soo will be, to be with God and actually be able to directly talk with God. All the wonderful things you dream of when your a child, and also all the wonderful things God give's you in your life. (your moments of pure bliss... like laughing non stop with your kids, etc.)
Anyway, as she read through it, came to the part were the mean old snake talked Eve into eating the fruit. I recall clearly what really got Eve to eat the fruit... "It won't kill you... it will make you like God". There enters the problem... Fruit was eaten, and then knowledge that Adam and Eve were naked cam to them. Knowledge of Good and Evil.
God asked them "who told you that you were naked?"

What I learn from this, is that we cast ourselfs out of Eden, and slowly slowly each generation does what it can to return to it. Trying to build the world up in the ways we learn how to make it a " better place" as we can see it.

In the end, I think deep down we just yern to be back in the Garden with God. So I walk my weary path, that is blessed with pure momments of happiness. Weary, only because I make it at times, but thankful I am for the path because Jesus is leading the way!

Storing up riches in Heaven

One of things that I worry about, and I guess I should not worry, matter of fact I know I should not... but I do..

Is learning how to store up treasures in heaven. I pray, and I try, and I can do better. Sometimes I just let this world get to me, and let what I know that I can not do worry me.
I have to realize, and it seems re-realize ever so often the fact that Jesus Christ is the only one that can do this for me. And when I say for me, really I mean show me how, guide me each step.
I get in the way so many times and let my ignorance or moments of sin get to me. I truly seek to be with God, and I know in my heart it is written that Jesus Christ is my savior and Lord. I still let things get to me... So God please guide me... as I know you do all the time, I just have to learn to be still. To ease my mind with the fact that you are in control dear God.

Thank you God, I send you praise... my un-holy, dirty self, that is clean by the blood of your son. Please forgive me... please guide me... please... oh Lord please...

Small things

My wife pointed out yesterday that I was getting mad at our 3 year old for small things. I don't know why I let things get to me, I mean I should just punch myself!!!
That is why my wife is around I guess, to punch me!! LOL.

Back to the serious side of this though, I am going to talk to my little girl and ask for her forgiveness for acting like a jerk. I mean I love her, told her that serval times, and I was just tired and let little get to me. I am very thankful to have a wonderful family and wonderful wife that is THE better half of me. I also understand I am still learning at this daddy thing and I know I am going to make mistakes. I just hope I can make less and less and not more and more.

So if anyone is reading this, then please pray that my ignorance will not cause pain to loved ones, or any body for the matter! Thank you God! I love you!

Last week

Well this is my last week at Honda. I have to admitt that I have learned a lot from this place, not only in IT, but dealin with people and projects. Also God blessed me, with given me time with people who also are followers of Jesus Christ. I learned a lot from them, about their views and aspects. I have to admitt that my family and I are really missing an important aspect of being a Christian, by not having a chiurch.

But I am going to do my best to go to this church in our area. It is a private school as well, so we want to look into it for our children and also try our best to find a church we can really get involved in.

At any rate, truly God is working in our lives and I just hope and pray that I do not get in the way of things.

Nice Morning

Well, due to the wreck on Friday, I am having to take the day off. My last week at work so I really hate to do so but I have to get my car looked at and also get the drug test and paper work done. At any rate, this past weekend was just wodnerful, and from the looks of outside seems like it is going to be a wonderful day.

It's nice that I get to spend some more time with my family. They are going to go with me today, so it is going to be wonderful. I guess I can tell you about the furtherment of my Adventure game: 10.108 officer down. I got the first main character done (v1 at least) at the intro screen to the game. (half way) I am taking a little break. So far I have spent about 1-2 hours on the art side of the game, and about 5 total hours on story line and art. It is going to take me a while to just get a demo up and running. Hopefully I can stick to the style I started out with. It is real easy to get away from the style of art that you are doing and jump in and out of styles.

But anyway I am very thankful that God has given me the chance to express myself through my game development. My current game is going to be about an officer getting killed in the first scene. You play to main characters, decetives, who hunt down the killer. Hopefully it will be a fun game to play but at the same time delivery the message of what cops have to go through and the reality of doing such things, well as killing poeple, will land you. It will also deal with the struggle of one of the cops trying to figure out why this happened and, hopefully if I can write the story his spirtual development with God.

Well see how it turns out, and I am sure I will post more about it as time goes on. Anyway, hope whoever i reading this has a wonderful God filled day!

Sun burnt

Well I went golfing yesterday. It was the first time that I did something without my wife and daughter. My wife told me I needed to go and hang out with my now old co-workers. Now old, because I am going to my new job.
Anyway I got sun burnt yesterday but to my surpirse I am actually tanning... first time really that I could get red, then tan. I guess either man skin is getting older or I have went through a genetic mutation, which the ladder part is really not possible. (At least I would not think)

I guess I should start though for the beginning of Friday afternoon. I was on my way to pick up the paper work for my new job, and I was rear-ended... big time. Everyone is ok, and that is the main point. I was completely stopped, because of another wreck across the street and that is when I got rear-ended. Anyway, long story short I am getting a new rear-end for my car, and I was not able to finish the paper work. So I have to go tomorrow.

At any rate, overall this past week and weekend has been wonderful and I am very thankful. Hopefully in the following weeks my wife and I will be able to check out this church that we want to go to. Pray for us, and I will be praying for you!

New Job

Well I accpeted my new job last night and turned in my res. here at work today. I am truly grateful for the time I was able to spend at my current job and hope and pray that I can do a good job at my new place for God and my family.

I know that change for some is a scary thing. I mean I am not going to lie, I have some you know feelings about what if? But I trust in the Lord, and have prayed that if this is meant to be then let it be, if not then I pray it does not happen.
So I know God is watching over my family and I and taking us through this for a reason. So if anyone is reading this please pray for my family and I in our new endavor.

Thank you God for this wonderful day.

Thank you God for this wonderful day.

Trust

One thing that I have do learn how not to do is not to worry. I have to put all of my trust into God. I admit right here and now this is one of my issues. I do not put enough trust into the creator, and let the creatation get to me at times.

I am though very happy and pleased for the fact that I can finally realize such a thing and not let me own intetions or "just saying I trust" get in the way. Thank you God for the revelation, because with this I ccan go forward and seek your guidance on such an issue. If anyone is reading this please pray that I would let God run more or my life that what I currently do.

On a side note of this, I have noticed that when I just let things go and let God handle them I am happier and enjoy my time more than if I am trying to be the only one handling it. I guess it goes back to letting the will of God lead me, instead of letting myself led the way.

Thank you God for this wonderful day and I hope and pray that every day I can grow closer to you God. Thank you Jesus Christ, my savior and Lord for dying on the cross for my sins. May God bless us all!

Love

One of the areas that I pray a lot about is love. What I pray is help in seeking the love of God, others, and not letting myself get in the way.

There are many forms to love, hard love, pyhsical love, emotional, spirtual, freindly, parental, etc. etc. etc.
I mean you can't bottle up love, or wrap up love. There is an endless amout of type, and quaninty of love. Love itself is free, giving, and endless. One of the things I truly believe is that God is love, pure, holy, love in all it's forms, but not limited to being love for God is all and nothing at the same time.

I just hope and pray that one day all of God's children can experience and at least know a little bit of the love God has for us. And learns about the love that God expressed for us, when he gave up his life on the cross. The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit = One God, but three.

Thank you God, and thank you for letting me to try and blog my way through this and try to but in some form the emotion, spirtual, physical, endless love that is love.

May God bless us all, and if you can't understand my ramblings on this, understand this: God loves you, and is waiting for you!

Seeking wisdom

Today is a new day. I am renewed for the day for God so made it that way. I seek God's wisdom, love and peace.

We are told in proverbs that the key to all wisdom is the fear of God. That is the start to wisdom and knowledge. Fearing God does not mean you can't talk to God, or love God. It does not mean God never comes down to your level of understand so he can make you see what is right and wrong.

Fearing God is understanding that you will never understand God. God is the almighty, and fearing him is accepting that. I am learning more and more about this because it is one of the area's I am working on. To truly improve past what I am I must seek God's wisdom. So if anyone is reading this please pray for me so that I could truly seek God's wisdom and not get in my own way while doing it.

Thank you God for this wonderful day! You have truly blessed me in given me this new day to become and new person and to not commit the same old sins!
May God bless us all!

Adventuregamers.com

Well I just submitted my entry to become an adventuregamers.com writer. They are looking for people and hopefully I can do that part time. It has always been a dream of mine to write and also do it for a eZine that is cool and about games is just a ++++.

I mean whatever happens is suppose to happen, and I do not want it to take away time from my family. And any rate thank you God for the chance! And for those of you who care, here is my entry:

About yourself:
(e.g. adventure gaming background and favorite type of adventure games)
[I started playing the Sierra Style games back when the first Police Quest was came out (mid 80's). I played the entire Police Quest series, King's Quest, Quest for Glory, and Gabriel Knight series. I am currently using AGS (Adventure Game Studio) to develop my own adventure game called '10-108: officer down'. I love to play games, and the adventure genre is my favorite. I am 24 years old, and I develop software. I use VB, Java, C/C++ to develop business applications and games.]

Article title:
[The future of the adventure game genre]

Article text (see below for formatting tips):
[If you ask the common gamer today what they think about adventure games in general they may be able to spit out a few titles they played but most likely could not tell you any that are out today.
Reason why is the commercial demand for adventure style games has bottomed out. That is all about to change with the introduction to some of the latest technologies and making use of some already in place ones. Adventure style games will soon have a big commercial demand again. Crazy you say? Well let's take a look at the following, which helps make gamers part of the game instead of just playing it:

Voice Command Technology
Voice command will soon find its place in adventure games. Take Konami's "LifeLine", which lets you talk your character through different situations. At the link you will find that the critics give the game an average of a 61% out of a possible 100%. Granted that is not the high level that most high demand commercial games get but at the same token this is new technology and the future to adventure gaming. This adds a whole new side to gaming by letting the users interact with the game by talking to the character and having the character respond to the different voice commands.

The Eye Toy
A big hit for Japan, and slowly making its way to America is the Eye Toy for the PS2. The Eye Toy is a camera that plugs into the PS2 and allows the gamer to interact with the game by recording the movements of a person and then relating them to different aspects of the game. Such technology has been around for a while but used in this way will add yet another side to adventure gaming, allowing the user to possibly “pick up” items and “push” open doors literally.

With such technologies adding new game play and interaction to games in general the carry over to adventure games has the biggest advantage. I mean can you image starting up a new game, talking to NPC’s and other action scripted characters while also picking up items and adding them to your inventory while never touching the keyboard, mouse or controller?
Now all that is left is for someone to develop a game or series that encompasses all these technologies. ]

Dealing with issues

I have to admit that finghting with some sins, well some time make me were I want to beat myself up. I mean will all have our vises, just sometimes dealin with them after that fact can be hard. I pray to God for disipline so I would not re-commit the same old sins. I mean, it just seems sometimes I let the momment get the better of me and give into slander, lust, etc.

Being male does not mean I have to give into lust, or slander. Does not give me the right, but it is one ofn the tings I battle with. God please guide me in my journey in life so I want re-commit the same old sins.

My little girl

Well yesterday my little girl came home from her MaMa's. She spends a good bit of time with her about every other weekend. Anyway, she came home and she was so hyper, we played with each other so much yesterday. Her, My wife, and I played on the swings and played with her little basketball... (she loves the fact that she can dripple!)

Anyway it is so cute because she will run and jump on one foot and say "I bet you can't do that!" or "I bet you can't do this" and then kick the ball some wierd way. We just laughed, and laughed, and laughed! At any rate, she brings so joy and love into my life. I am truly thankful that God has given care of her to me. I just hope and pray that I can spread the love equally between both the baby and her. I also pray that I can be a good father to both of them, and friend, and mentor.

The joy of yesterday I will always recall, my wife, my daughter and I had so much fun. We made a promise that we would go out at least once a week and play like that. I hope that anyway who is reading this will pray for the daughters and sons of this world. Pray that they grow up to become a good, loving generation that is loving and hopeful towards their own children.

Thank you God for another wonderful day, and such great and wonderful memmories.

Sunny days...

Well today I am only working a hald day. I went this morning with my little girl to "Donuts with Dad" at the WEE care day care program. Today, oddly enough , is also my daughters last day there. So it was wonderful, we talked and had a great time together. She made me all kinds of stuff, then I gave her a hug and kiss good-bye!

It was truly a blessing, and then on top of that I got to eat with my wife (early lunch) right after that. And even further on top of that, God made it a wonderful sunny day and well to tell the truth I did not want to even come in today... but I did...

So if you get a chance today go outside and enjoy the wonderful day! And tell at least one person how much you love them!

Spending Quailty time with my wife

My wife brought it to my attetion that I have been distant the past few weeks. Just smalls things like me sitting in my chair and her on the coach. She would rather have me sit on the coach with her. Also holding her more, and just general spending alone time with her.

I have to admit it is hard for me not to want and go and spend time with my Mom, Dad, and lil' bro. I am very close to them and I have not tried to make sire my wife and I spend enough time by ourselfs. So I pray to God for help in working through this and making me see how my wife feels and guide me so that I can make my wife happy. At any rate, these are the type of things that relationships grow!!! So even though I was hurt at first, because my little mind could not understand... I am thankful becuase God used and is using this to help shape my wife and I as one.

Thank you God, I send praise to you. I am a sinner and I need you in every moment of my life. Thank you for the wonderful smiles, and tears of life. And thank you for another wonderful day!

Putting God first

One of the things that I pray for a lot is to learn how to better put God first and make my life center around God. I must admit that my wife and I need to find a good church so that we can grow further.

For the longest time I thought that I did not need a church, but being around other Christians and having others to talk to about certain area's that well... to be honest is on the wonderful things about being a Christian. Sharing your knowledge, experince, etc. with others who might be facing similar things, have faced similar things, or have different aspects and view's on the entire bible itself.

So I truly am starting to belive that if I am to contiue my education at putting God first, my family and I need to find a good church to go to.
So if anyone is reading this please pray for the George Family (My family) that God would lead us to a good church that preaches the truth about God, God's love, and so on!
And let me say thank you God for this wonderful day!

On a side note, the interview I had yesterday went well. I am waiting on a phone call today sometime to see how well it really went. In any event I want to say thank you God for guiding me through all my choices and I hope and pray that you God are in this one as well!

Work related things

So today at 3:30 PM CST I am going in for another look at the Berry Company. I get the feeling that a.) they are going to offer me a job / money or b.) it is the final interview in their process. I must say that I have enjoyed the fact that when we moved, I am now only 5 min's away from my current job.
This new job would put me back at 45 min's away. But it is about 10-12k more per year.

I do realize that more money does not mean I will be happier, and so I pray for help and hope that I can put my mind and heart at ease to reat on this and let God guide me. I know how jumpy and stupid I can be.

Anyway thank you God for this wonderful day i pray that you are in this and every move I make! I need you or Lord and I say it before men that Jesus Christ is my savior and Lord!
On a side note, I got my fast internet connection setup and maybe even have a cool idea for my first game. 10-108 Officer down! That is all I am going to say.

Finding a church

My wife has really been moved over the past weekend, talking about us finding a good church to get involved with. We just got moved yesterday, and it only took me like 5 min's to get to work today! Anyway getting moved went pretty good and so I want to stop and say Thank you God for everything that you have given me.

I just found out that someone here at work, a senior and leader was fired on Friday. This was not of course by his choice, and he was a senior on the GALC team. Anyway pray for Bryan Hall and his family!

At any rate, God has truly blessed my family and I. And I don't want to say that in a bragging manor but in a way were I acknowledge God by saying that! Going back to Bryan Hall being fired, it is truly a shame to hear about that and it does go to show that nothing is guranteed. Only God is!

So many things...

Well I have not even touched on this, because I have been so busy. But I need to talk about the lint season we are in, which was kicked off by (I hear) a great movie done by Mel Gibson called the Pashion. This of course I am sure a lot of people all ready know about.

At any rate, the Lint season is not something that I have ever really practiced, I do know that it starts by Ash Wed. and then for 40 days and nights I believe that, as a Christian, you are to give up something that you like or do. I know that there was a movie that talked about this, a Teen movie were the teen gave up sex for 40 days. This of course took a bad spin on such a thing because well, sex is for a wife and husband not for teens!

But anyway, that is whole other post! So we are in the lint season, and then we are leading up to passover and then easter.
I know this time of year is great, because right now outside it is sunny and 70 degrees (here is Alabama!)

My point (I know I can get off on some tangets) is that were are in a time were worship and communion are stressed and something that we should all do. I must admit at this point that my wife and I still have not found a church and hopefully after we move all together we can get involved in a church. I know that my wife being out of work my really enjoy getting in with a nice church and maybe even working at one!

Anyway, this should be a season of praise, one that we all Christian shout out to God in thanks for all his good Grace!

Just found out

Just found out, that my little blog here was mentioned on the front page of blogs4god.com! To check out the post click here: Blogs4God.com Post

I feel that this is a honor to be posted with such great blogs as Challies.com and Mark Shea blog! Thank you blogs4god.com for the exposure and I hope that I can contiue to write things that some people find helping, amussing, cheerful, etc.!

Great moments

Well, things are still moving along with work, and my family. I have gotten a new HP (used to be compaq) iPAQ - Pocket PC PDA. One of the first things I did was download the books: Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John.

I plan on re-reading them, from start to finish, and I will see if this will help me keep it with me so I can read it. I used to be able to read it every day, and I still get my morning off right by listening to it and then reading a few verses but I want to read it more and more... and well having it on my PDA, which goes with me everywhere, may make it possible for me to read anytime!

Anyway I am very thankful for this wonderful day, last night my little daughter was singing her ABC's and so I recorded her doing it... she is so cute! She is only 3 1/2, but so so smart, seems like she is going on 23!

I just want to say how wonderful God is, and how great God's creatation is. We just got to always keep in mind to worship the creator not the creatation! So thank you God for another wonderful day, and I pray and hope that I can use this day to get closer to you, do your will, and also bring smiles to people's faces!

May God bless us all!

A wonderful day

What a wonderful day it is. I woke up this morning, and wife and daughter still asleep. I went to take a shower, got out, and came into our bed room, and there was our little girl awake wanting hugs & kisses... I love her so much and I am so glad that God has given me her and another little girl on the way!

I am truly a blessed man, and I can not thank God enough for this wonderful family he has given me. I also am very thankful for the past few days at work, I have been able to talk about God to Christians and non-Christians. I just pray and hope that what I say is helpful and truthful.

Thank you God, and please guide me in every moment. I pray that you are apart of every side to my life!
Thank you God so so very much!
