Link crazy
Yeah, I know I’ve been a bit Link crazy lately. I’m not giving up on blogging, but I’ve been a bit busy. So in the mean time, I’ve tried to post some links regarding a few current events here and there.
I was on vacation two weeks ago and then a retreat and with the end of the quarter I was in meetings all week long.
This weeks been a bit better, but I’m now in need of rest.
Once things settle a bit I’ll try to start getting some of my own stuff once again.
In May I’m gonna hit the FireFlight concert in Minnesota but then I think I’ll be done with the road trips for a while.

On a lighter note
On a lighter less serious note, I’ve got a scanner and have begun scanning a lot of my art … er sketches from High School until now.
Unfortunately, as a high school student, sketching his way thru his education ;^) I usually ended up with lined paper for my precious art.
So please enjoy some humor of a high school student, from the early 90s.
Now if I can just find the stuff I did in college, then you could see my work from 1995-1998.
I didn’t do much after that with work and all, but I’ve started up again, as the trinexdey collage is new. and I’ll try to find my sad elf in the snow pic I did a few months ago.
My sketches are still not great, they’re just for fun sometimes I even managed poor comic level.
Hopefully with a little practice, I can improve again. Mostly, I lack consistency.
But here goes. If some of the drawings look familiar, I was a fan of certain Turtle shows and Transforming creatures. I also drew from some of my toys for inspiration.
No tracing, although I do like to do copies of photos by looking. If I can find it I have a not so bad Abe Lincoln hiding… if he’s still around.
I found one of Rockefeller, good ole History with the book of good pictures to draw….

Revelations or signs
My last blog featured a number of things reminding me of Revelations and other prophecies in the Bible. A few people have asked if this is what I really think
I don’t really know how everything is going to fully play out and I don’t think anyone does but God. For example, I’m not convinced the guy from Puerto Rico claiming to be the Antichrist, is the Antichrist. But I’ve come to realize that God was using articles and videos to remind me of the end times, and they are reminders that our time is running out.
The article and the videos except for Steve Taylor’s video, just came to me in the last couple of days. Yeah, I know, the Steve Taylor video and the Declaration video aren’t really end times, but all of history connects. The video about the Declaration just makes me wonder how many “Freedoms” we’ll surrender for our security. Does or how does the loss of our freedoms play into all of this?
At church today we sang a hymn tonight that goes “Soon and very soon we are going to see the Lord” and Pastor Dave mentioned that “Our time is short” and “Hell is hot” this has caused me to rethink a couple of things.

I used to think we shouldn’t worry about this stuff too much cause if we get saved then we shouldn’t be around for it anyway. But then why in such a short period of time in the last 3 days or so, would God keep bringing these videos and news articles to my attention to make me think of the events and prophecies in Revelation.
In another sense, if we needn’t think of the future then why would books in the Bible like Daniel and Revelation contain prophecies about the future? There are signs and things that God must want us to know and look forward to. And even though things will get bad, we know we have hope.
Also as a follower of Christ, I have to keep my eye on the prize. I read, that if signs of Christmas are already appearing and Thanksgiving hasn’t occurred yet then chances are good that Thanksgiving is right around the corner. This is true of the end times as well. If signs start to appear or things begin to happen to remind us of the prophecies of the end times then Christ’s return for us must be very soon. Could be a week, could be 50 years. Soon nonetheless. And as a follower of Christ, getting to heaven is my prize and that is something worth remembering when considering what may happen before I get there.
I admit this thought process is a bit cluttered, and I don’t really know much on the future or the meaning of the prophecies. I’m hoping to introduce thought on the subject. If not to anyone else then at least to myself. I pray God will make things clear as I study his word on the issue and read other peoples ideas on it as well. So in a sense I was kind of right, we shouldn’t worry about it in the sense of fretting, but we should think about it, and be aware of these things and look for the signs.
Posted pictures of trips
I posted some pictures of my trip to Toronto, Anime Expo, and Indiana dunes
Then pictures of Vegas and of the Classic Gaming expo.
I usually travel with Ted, who doesn’t really like taking pictures or being in them, so most of what you’ll see is just the scenerey with some random people. I had an old camera and disposable camera for these trips so the quality isn’t too good.
Now I have a better camera so future trips can be remembered more clearly.
Something
Ok, Here’s something so my blog isn’t completely empty.
If you want to see my very short videogame blog you can check out my 1up page at http://midnightq.1up.com
Otherwise I’ll try to put more general info here. Like the time I almost smoked myself out of my house because I’m a terrible cook. Stuff like that.
Later.
