The day has come to put down my keyboard and wait patiently for comments on what I write. Yes it might be random, but I know someone has something to say. So please comment, I would greatly appreciate some feedback.
Thanks

Wow I finally get a little down time so my faithful readers ****cough cough*****………..MY FAITHFUL READERS…………… can enjoy my thorough penmanship. If no one is going to gainsay, I will continue. What a great looking title isn’t it. It almost sounds like a speciality drink at your local Starcrack. But alas, it is a phrase I coined while playing basketball and halo. Basketball inspired the buttacream portion while halo inspired the mocha. It basically means being smooth while having a kick. So while I’m driving the lane in basketball or having a smooth shot in your face……………once again I’m going to have to pick on Pastor Chuck………………its all going to be smooth as butta. When I’m sniping you in the face or bouncing grenades off of walls while you are trying to shoot me from behind its mocha, giving you a kick. I could go on for more I will digress from being Pastor Chuck’s ghostwriter.
>>>>hopefully he reads this one

Everybody knows TGIF, but how many people thank God for the weekend. See you cant thank God for one day and forget the rest. It ultimately is an incomplete “thanks”. This past weekend was definitely a good one. Friday night me and my wife(the one who posted a comment about the big butts)…….wait my grammar is so much better than that. Let me try it again Friday night my wife and I (because if I left it me and my wife the me would represent the object however I would try to be using it as the subject of the sentence). Did you notice how I went from one sentence to hacking it up to void the natural flow then try to get back to the original sentence. I’m great at being disjointed. Anyways I took my wife on a date, basically dinner and a movie. We saw the Prestige which was a really good flick. Unless your a master movie watcher, there is no way in the world you would be able to guess the ending. On saturday I did absolutely nothing except beat Splinter Cell double agent. Saturday night we had an awesome awesome time at our Young Married monthly social gathering(that sounds so 1940’s). Anyways our little group ate at Fuddruckers, which is a really good hamburger joint. We went back and played board games at the leaders house(they will remain nameless for national security’s sake). The big group played cranium while katie and myself played Boulderdash with Blake and Amanda…….aaaaaaahhhhhhhhh freaknuts the security threat meter just went to red because I leaked their names. See boulderdash is a game where a good vocabulary and a creative mind just might come in handy. Or you can just be a really good liar. We had some great words and great definitions and ultimately great laughs.
Well I am writing too much so I will just say Sunday we had a great lunch provided by our church www.gcofh.com. Its called the New Beginnings luncheon and its for new members of the church. It was really really nice and the food was excellent. I also played ultimately frisbee in the mud while it was raining. The testerone was definitely flowing and I felt like a man!!!!!!!!!
Chuck update your blog.

The title speaks for itself. I thought hey I’m going to try what these marketing geniuses do everyday. Bombard us with images that have absolutely nothing to do with the product. However, it grabs our attention to where we remember it. A very disjointed but smart process. So now that I have your attention, let me share whats on my heart. The conglomeration of food. You know what I’m talking about, where you mix and match food to the point people make grotesque facial expressions in your direction. See I’m the kind of guy that likes my food crunchy. So naturally fritos or tortilla chips usually follow my food. The next question would be, “Jordan, what do you like to eat.” ZAZING, somehow I knew you were going to ask that. Ok usually I dont eat breakfast(LOL I was just thinking of that new sonic commercial, which I cant find because of the stupid filter at work*****grabs rabbit out of hat,******Booooooooooooooooooooooyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyah corporate bloodsuckers, its called a proxyyyyyieeeeeeeeeieieieieie aaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyahhhhhhhhhhh.
Ok I’m still not going to be able to find the link. But, you can probably find it yourself on youtube. They are funny because of the awkwardness and stupidity(the other funny one was about the accelerated high school plan). Speaking of rabbits, I just went on a ginormous rabbit trail(ginormous is gigantic and enormous exponentially multiplied to the 100th power). Grits, wow what a great breakfast food. Nothing like tiny corn in an almost soupy state to satisfy the break from your 8 hour a night fast. But only on Saturdays, see there is a mental block in my brain to where I usually cannot eat before 8 a.m. Dont ask me why. As soon as the grits come piping hot out of the microwave I crush up chips and put them in there. Wowsers. what a great combo, I wish I could go through a drive thru and say grit combo #3 please. I could imagine the lady at the window say would you like cheese, philadelphia cream cheese, and some pepper with that. In the great words of Napoleon Dynamite, “heck yeah”!!!!!!!. So that is one of my many conglomeration of food stories.
P.S. Please note how many times I say I in my posts. Yes even though this is my blog, my highschool English teacher(Mrs.Barley) would not be proud.

As I sit here in the drudgery of cubicle life, I’m reminded that the only reason there is drudgery is I perceive there is drudgery. I could pull myself out of the muck and mire(even though while a great analogy, sounds really grotesque). and have the best day I ever had. See the problem and solution lies in my perception. Do I persevate through the audacious people that I often cross paths with? Do I automatically assume the fetal position and rock myself while mumbling,” I like skittles and combos.”Or do I stare so intently at my computer monitor when you see me you will be reading gnihton yletulosba…….gnihton on my forehead. Ok before I go any farther I have to admit I first tried to find an online tool to do that for me, then sadly enough I took the time to spell that backwards. Back on track Jordan Back on track!!!!!!!!!! Ok so drudgery….wait let me find a synonym for drudgery****flips to webster only to find……….*****, wait can’t find one because Mr.Webster decided to give me work as a synonym for drudgery. Sorry, I just dont see the correlation. I was trying to find this elaborate word that would make the readers think I was really smart, only to find a normal mundane word called work. I think I have just lowered my I.Q by just saying work, why is that? Glad you asked. The reasoning is simple, the more a word is used, the less forceful it becomes. ( I will also refer to my commercialization post). The only word I think that has stood the test of “over exertion” is awesome. I mean cmon you can’t go wrong with AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So forecful it gives me chills. This just goes to prove that the Bible is correct when it tells us how powerful our words are. (I will not give you verses dangit, go look them up yourselves)

This is such a cliche little argument. However really think about it(yes I did make up that second word), and what it measn. As I was writing this, I happened to look back at one of my email folders that contain my daily verse and devotional I get through crosswalk. Funny thing is the daily devotional talks about this same thing…………which boils down to contentment. Let me add this devotional in here.

Discovering Our Real Needs
Grand, sweeping statements can be hard to take. We’ve all turned on the TV and heard confident claims such as, “Got a problem? God has the answer!” That can cause something in our spirit just tighten up.
Whenever someone makes any kind of bold statement, we must consider the source. Who is making the claim? Does that person really understand my situation? If we are in the midst of a struggle, we may wonder, Is this a person who knows what pain feels like? Or we ask ourselves, Is this someone I can trust? So, when we read Philippians 4:19, “My God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus,” we have to stop and ask, Can I trust the writer? The answer, without a doubt, is yes.
Paul was not always a bubbly, happy-go-lucky communicator. He was bold and brash, spreading truth whenever and wherever it was necessary. He also knew what it meant to be in need. In fact, he wrote the book of Philippians from an Ephesian jail where he was most likely chained to a prison guard. More importantly, Paul knew where to get his needs met. Even in this dark situation, not knowing when or if he would ever be freed from his chains, Paul reveals something amazing: his contentment. He trusted that God’s hand was at work, no matter how the outward circumstances appeared.
As you consider your present circumstances—your place in life and current needs—would you say you’re content? Do you believe the Lord truly can and will meet your needs according to His glory
That is the kicker. We become so numb to the fact that we have been given so much yet we always seem to focus on what we dont have. Yes I am bundling up and throwing myself in the mix here. I always like reading Ecclesiastes to point out what Creed has in one of their songs (Whats This Life For). At the end of our journey, what has been the most important thing. Why focus on material possessions when you cant even take them with you, they are fleeting and are a vapor. It definitely puts a different perspective on what you consider as important. This then leads into worrying which I wont get into today. I just think it is funny how one subject can flow into another in a logical process.
