Drained

I haven't written in a while... been all over the place lately.

Life has been good... just more complicated than I like... I am a simple man and enjoy a simple life... that just hasn't been the case lately. It seems several situations have just gone a little hairy and dealing with it isn't always that exciting of the process... though I does make me appreciate the simplicity of my life.

A lot is going on lately and I'm one who typically feels others burdens with them (except when it comes to them being upset with me for some reason). So, with my sister going through a split up from her husband, my mom having mega issues at home, my brother being laid off, a good friend having really bad health problems, another having health problems, and some other stuff... I am kinda feeling a bit emotionally drained lately. In my own life I'm trying to find a new place to live, trying to work on pics and video stuff, organizing for the move, taking care of Harley, and such. It all kinda adds up. I need people who build me up right now and I am not getting a lot of that. I need to be there for those who need it and am trying to find ways to do so. Thankfully God gives me the strength for it!

I pray for God's clarity and guidance in my next steps. I pray that I will lean on Him when I'm feeling weak. Thanks to anyone who reads this and joins with me!

My new Prayers for Her Location :)

I kinda of have 11:11 seasons... I'll go months without noticing it, then all of a sudden... I see it all the time.

I have received some criticism recently about posting them to my facebook... so, I've decided to just move them to here... Maybe someday I'll be able to even copy them from my FB and Twitter to here... I think that would be a good gift someday... or maybe even a handwritten journal? I dunno...

The criticism I received was from someone who lovingly calls herself "Debbie Downer". She said they may come off adding a lot of pressure to any potential girls in my life that they may feel they have to live up to this expectation... I don't understand that because they are prayer for her not for what she will be like? Also, she said it makes it seem like I am desperately seeking a wife... something I don't want people to think at all... after all I am not completely sure God has one for me... I just know that there may be someone out there God has who may become my wife someday and to be able to put up with me, she needs LOTS of prayer :)

So, here they shall be... The great thing about blogspot is it will let me retrospectively time and date them for when they were actually written...

With that... my prayer for yesterday morning at 11:11 - I pray that You show her things to be joyful in all things you give her

And this morning...
I pray that you will give her a love of serving your people and your Church and that you will provide her ways to do so!

Prayer for someone I don't know

Dear Father I pray that You help her realize her value and worth... I pray that you show her the good in other people and help her love others well

Movie Reviews

What should go in a blog? A little bit of everything I guess :)

Tonight?

Recent Movies I've watched and their reviews...

I really like movies... I really like the way they can move emotions, create laughter or just entertain. I will watch just about any movie... but ones I like, more than once...

So, my recent reviews...

Avatar - I loved it in the 3D theater... and it is great on Blu-Ray too! The story has so many levels to it and I appreciate that. there are a large amount of undertones and amazing effects... I am not into the hippie earthy theme, but appreciate the focus on the battle between technology and nature... And the action and creativity were both awesome too... overall I would say a 9

Night at the Museum 2 - Battle of the Smithsonian - It is great! A good amount of comedy on several different levels, good effects, a good feel good story with incredible characters. I really like it! Better than the first I believe... 9

Fantastic Four Rise of the Silver Surfer - Though they are a bit cheesy, it is a good balance of action, cool characters, a little love, and pretty decent graphics and an alright story line. I enjoyed it enough I've seen it about 5 times... 8

Interview With a Vampire - I have seen it a ton of times be rewatched it and still enjoy it thoroughly. though there is a scene or 2 I have to fast forward through, it is a great take on the view of "Vampires" and tells a good story. It has a great cast (though they are greater favored by females) but it is a very interesting piece. 8.5

The Hurt Locker - I don't think it lived up to the hype, but it painted a great realistic picture of the current war going on and the characters were interesting. I really went from disliking to loving one and was left tense often, and I usually don't stress much! I though it was a great piece with a great purpose... soo... 9

Monty Python and the Holy Grail... I am not really the laugh out loud kind of guy... I will sometimes... but am more of a chuckler... So, I may not seem to enjoy it as much as most... however I like the silly witty humor that it had, but it was really kinda weird... I evened out with a so-so opinion... not one I care to buy or will watch many times... so as far as rating for this British parody of life... a 5.5

Clash of the Titans (2010) - Now, I have to start by saying I fell asleep for a while when I went to see this... with that I missed out on a good chunk of stuff... Now, I have seen the original several times and enjoyed the story line in both and liked the graphics in the new one a lot... especially in 3D. But, I still think they could have done more with it... more drama, more power, more effects... so a 7.5 overall

Prayers for Her

11:11
Pray that she grows in grace for others and that she receives God's grace openly.
