great googly moogly
I have the greatest job ever. It’s hard to believe that I almost did not apply for this job. Thank you Jen for pushing me to apply. Not only do I play with AutoCAD but I also play with the latest software version of it. I’m talking stuff in Alpha and Beta phases. I’m free to make my own schedule most of the time and I get paid pretty good as well as compensated in other ways.
But this just takes the cake. Jen and I have debating about what to do with a laptop and me deploying. We have a laptop currently at home, but it’s not really meant to be used as a laptop. Giant 17″ screen, full keyboard, and heaven forbid you keep it on your lap because I’m pretty sure I could back brownies with the amount of heat it gives off. About 2 weeks ago I was talking to my boss about this situation and that I have been looking at the Dell Outlet store and that I’ve been watching the prices on there. We chit-chatted about the deals there and that was that, nothing more. Flash forward to today and my boss I asked me if I found anything yet for a laptop and I told him we’re still debating it and we also need to budget for it. Well out of nowhere he told me to go ahead and find one that I like and the company would purchase it for me. I say company like we’re a big firm, but he is the owner of the company.
Talk about a huge blessing from the Lord. Thank you Jesus!!
Mass Effect and Other Foolishness
It’s been busy lately so I haven’t been able to keep up with posting as much. Our new project at work is really picking up speed so I’m trying to keep up with that. I’m doing a lot of script writing (programming for AutoCAD) just so I can alleviate a lot of my work load. When I have had a moment to spare at work I’ve been working on another 3D project.
School is going well. I got a 97 on my last paper, in regards to the unreachable and there salvation. I’ve come to the conclusion that it is an absolute, not relative to a situation, that salvation is through Jesus. If even one person can get into heaven without knowing Jesus then Jesus’ death was for nothing. I believe if a man is truly searching for God with his whole heart God will shed more light in a way that he can know about Jesus (Jeremiah 29:13). Whether it be through a missionary, a vision, or an Angel God will provide a way for that man to know Jesus. John Piper said “I believe they’re all [the unreached or unreachable] lost, and will go to hell if they don’t hear the gospel. But they will not be indicted for not believing the gospel which they haven’t heard- they’ll be indicted for suppressing the truth they had.” God is sovereign in everything He does and will always do what is right. He is in control.
If you’ve read the news or watched Fox News at all you may have seen there story on the video game of Mass Effect. Typically I’m all for Fox News, they have good stuff. But this story they ran last week about the game was plain ignorance. They were making a huge deal out of a love scene in the game and called pornographic. They had some dumb woman on Fox, who had never played the game and I’m not even sure if she even saw the scene in question. She was on Fox to talk about how traumatizing this scene is to younger kids and it’s a problem and blah blah blah. First of the game is rated M for mature, so parents do your job and don’t let your kids play M rated games easy solution. Second of all I’ve played the game and I’ve seen the scene they were talking about and there is no nudity. Actually, if you turn on your local Fox channel you see worse stuff on any TV show after 8:00.
