Bored of the rings? . . .No way!

Whassup?!
Today me and Janine are having a lord of the rings marathon day (a bit like the illustious 'Pokethon' day, but without those darn adorable poket monsters!)anyhoo, we are watching all three movies, and not only that but we are watching the extended versions (4 dics no less!).
After starting to watch the first movie I realised how many biblical references and similarities there are. (eg. orcs were once elves = satan and his minions were once angels)
To get you lazy bums to do something I am now officially setting a challenge... see how many biblical references and similarities you can find within the world of middle earth.

Harvester Hands

When I first came across this phrase I imediately thought of Matt's dad. He has a fool-proof method of maximising your salad from the salad cart at the Harvester.
However, in this particular instance it was to do with the calling of the disciples in the book of Matthew. Jesus told the disciples that they must have "Harvester Hands" in order to collect the lost souls for Him. He also told them that if they wanted to be filled with the spirit they must first empty themselves of themselves (does that meke sense?!). This linked nicely onto what Andy Downton said on Sunday and then he went on to sing a song (I think its called Father) and one of the lines in the courus is. . .

"First I must be emptied to be filled"

Ties together quite nicely, dont you think?

Peace

Brand New

First off, I just wanna say "has anyone heard the new JayZ/Linkin Park song?". It kicks ass! I really like both these artists and combining the 2 is wicked cool!
JayZ's black album is one of my favourites this year, and Linkin Park's meteora aint too bad either.
Anyhoo, I liked this song so much that I worked out the Linkin park song that it is sampled from (numb), it works really good as an acoustic song....speaking of songs, heres my latest one

I'm tethered to this body

I wanna soar through skies

like in the song..."why live two lives?"

I wanna be with you

spend my whole life through

I wanna feel Brand New

When I feel you moving

When I know you're here

I lift my hands in praise

And through the lightning flashes

And though the thunder warns

You calm those storms

The angels will be singing

When all the world will see

You died for me

What does anyone think?

Me, Matt and Andy have been working on arrangements and stuff, sounds pretty cool.

Hit me back

Peace

Blessed are the empty
I was reading my bible this morning (at 7:15,before gym and morning meeting!!!-how holy am I?!) and I was reading about the life and ministry of Jesus. I think it was in Matthew,anyhoo, it said something along the lines of "when you is feeling down, drained and empty you should rejoce, because the less of you there is, the more space there is for God to fill".
I never thought of it like that before. Just thought I'd share it with you guys.

Locusts and Honey
This morning, in my bible, I was reading about the start of the adult life of Jesus and his first meeting with the locally well-known prophet and his cousin, John the Baptist (the most suitable modern-day visual example is Matt).
Anyhoo, before I started reading, I prayed that God would help me to understand what it is that He wants me to do to progress. After starting to read I instantly thought 'WOW.. God wants me to get baptised!!!'. However, after further reading this passage I soon realised that this was not the case.

"Bro0od of snakes! What do you think you are doing slithering down here to the river? Do you think a little water on your snakeskins is going to make any difference? It is your life that must change, not your skin!" Matthew 3.15

The first part of the verse is aimed at the Pharisees and Sadducees, who had come to be babtised because it was seen as the popular thing to do.
I now know that baptism is in the future for me, but not yet. First I have a lot of "soul cleaning" to do before i am ready.

Sorry this post was so heavy going but I just thought I would share my experiences with a few close and personal friends (however many millions of people have access to t'internet!)

Peace
