Well here comes another long one...

Actually I think I will only post a couple classes, but, I will give some updates on what has been happening around here,
first of all, God is amazing and is supplying everything I need, I'm putting my best into my work, and He is with me, and I have favor with God and man. Everything I put my hand to prospers!
second, juggling is one of those things I'm putting my hands to, and like usual... just seemingly enhanced more than before, I am learning new patterns and increasing in the ease and consistency of my juggling! Learning 1-2-and 3 penguin catch mills mess patterns, at first I didn't think it was possible to do more than one, then I did two, and then just because I know that with God all things are possible, I tried three and got it a couple of times! not easy, but I can do it on the right side, and with practice I will do it consistently soon enough. And... yes I know you have no idea what I am talking about, but in essence, I am catching the balls with my hands turned outward from my body, and then mixing that into mills mess doing 1, 2, or 3 out of the 3 catches per round as those penguin catches. And if you still don't get it, thats ok, just know this, its totally crazy, and probably has never been mastered before, so I look forward to being able to do it.
third, school has been awesome, I've been hanging out with new friends of my own more often, and I got 100% on the test from Lawson.
Besides all that, I suppose now that I have internet back on... I do have internet back on now btw... I will be posting some more juggling videos soon enough, check up on the channel and subscribe to keep up with all the new ones at http://www.youtube.com/user/Brntrogdor?feature=mhum

So I think the first one I will put up is.... *random selection...*

Lawson Perdue-Bible Covenants Lesson 2

We should not see all the “different” covenants as “different covenants. But as one big covenant. Jesus is the fulfillment of God’s covenant with man.
God initiated the covenant, not man, God the greater did it, not man the lesser. God, who did not need it, loves us so much that He still initiated it with man. Beginning with Noah.
The Covenant is NOT our idea! So when we preach the promises of God and the covenant of God and the benefits of God, why are people offended? God did it, not us, we are simply pointing out that people could be living in those promises rather than weak, poor, and cursed lives.
Isaiah 54:9-God is not mad at us, God is not angry at us, He will not rebuke us, He has mercy on us, His kindness will not depart from us.
Its not me trying to get something from God, its God trying to get something to me.
He is an unchangeable eternal God.

Nice and short, nice a true, nice and... hey its awesome Lawson!
anyways, next up is someone new! And awesome as well, it just doesn't rhyme, so, here comes Funky...Dan Funkhouser-What Faith is And How To Live By It Lesson 1

Romans 10:17 “So then faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.”
The Bible is God’s ability to communicate with us, it is a book of God’s thoughts.
Joshua 1, Be strong and of good courage, why would He tell him that first? Because what he was going to tell him
As business men, we see that the kingdom of heaven is the greatest long term investment that there is, and if our lives are the tuition then it is worth it.
If we quit trying to act so stinking perfect because we’ve done three things right, then we could be real and help each other.
Paul said, “I’m pressing on to know the Lord.”
Who being a Christian now would say that? We want people to think we are super spiritual or whatnot.
The very thing we have our hands on and say, you have can all those other things, but not this, the Holy Spirit comes and says, oh whats that in your hand? Oh yes I want that, here let me have that. HE wants no other God’s before Him. He wants to be your God.
Deny yourself-What??? Aren’t we supposed to be happy? Paul said, “I die to myself daily” Jesus didn’t have a beautiful home. He walked everywhere.
No I don't think this is the whole lesson... I'm pretty sure my computer ran out of battery at that point, but here is the next lesson as well!

Dan Funkhouser-What Faith is and how to live by it! Lesson 2

How to begin to trust God
Where is your emphasis? I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, is the point of this I and me? Or is it Christ? I can do all things through christ who strengthens ME. Or, ican do all things through CHRIST who strengthens me.

Romans 12:1-3 “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your reasonable service. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. For I say, through the grace given to me, to everyone who is among you, not to think of himself more highly than he ought to think, but to think soberly, as God has dealt to each one a measure of faith.”
One decision at a time
People are not the ones that are our supply! God is always our source and supply that freely supplies all of our needs! We don’t look to the millionaires for our income when in ministry, we look to God. And its not about greed, we are a pipeline, one hand receives, one hand gives, and as it goes through, there is plenty for you!
Our confidence is not in money, or our abilities, it is in God, Faith is putting out total confidence in someone else despite our abilities, strengths, or anything, total confidence in God.
Isaiah 55:8-9 “For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways, says the Lord. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My  ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts.”


And yet again, it ran out of battery, but hey! good stuff still! And this guy is dead on... just has a different perspective than Andrew on some stuff, doesn't mean he disagrees, just sees things from another angle, and that is very good! We need that!
And that said, have a great day.. night, or wherever you are right now!
Be blessed,
Live it,
and... as I like to quote from the book "the Shack"
"Learn to live life loved"
