Do We Even Understand God?

I was wondering what I should blog about today, but after reading Pete Wilson’s post (God Bless America?) and watching the video he linked to, there is nothing more I need to say. I encourage you to go read the post and watch the video of a young boy who’s family had to give up their custody to the government because they could no longer afford to keep him. Pete’s post reminded me of a message that I heard in 2005 at the PDYM Conference by Louie Giglio called “Prayer-a-Remix” You can download the entire message for Free HERE

Warning: After listening to this message your prayer life will be totally messed up, so do not listen to it if you are comfortable praying the average cliche’ Americanized Chritian prayers and living the typical self-serving Americanized Christian life…I warned you!

Here is an excerpt from Pete, be sure to go check out the rest of his post HERE and watch the video:

I saw this bumper sticker the other day when I was walking into Blockbuster. It says, “My Pastor Says God Bless America.” Since seeing the bumper sticker I’ve discovered it’s linked to a political movement.

I want to be clear that I’m neither condemning nor endorsing this organization. I know nothing about it, but this bumper sticker just prompted the following thoughts.

I’m tired of praying “God Bless America.” Now, before you try to stone me at the county courthouse, let me clearly state, “I’m proud of our country.” I’m indebted to people who have served her to give me the freedoms I have. So we’re cool. I shoot fireworks off on the 4th and everything.

Nickcarnes.com Car Magnets

This is what my car magnets are going to look like!
What do you think of the final product?

This will be 17.3″ x 11.25″ – About the size of a Ledger Piece of Paper.

My wife had a coupon where I can get the large car magnets for only $7.99 or a small one for free through Vista Print. I’m going with the large ones, so people can see my advertisement easier! I will never live down being a self promoter now 😆

Before you ask…Sure you can order some and advertise my blog. Thank you!

Major Self Promoter

Why write a blog if you don’t want anyone to read what you write, right?
My community group had fun with me last night, because on several occasions, I have actually blogged about a topic that we were discussing and as I shared my view and opinion on the matter, I told the group that they could read more about my opinion at www.nickcarnes.com – Now its the big joke. Whenever I start to talk someone throws out nickcarnes.com, in fact I don’t even think they refer to me as Nick anymore, but rather, Hey Nickcarnes.com. They have told me to have t-shirts made to wear around, but I think I am going with the $4.99 car magnets from Vistaprint.com.
(You can order some too and give me free advertising :mrgreen:

So maybe I am a little bit of a self-promoter, ok a major self promoter, but I told my group I would give them some free advertising, so here goes, a shout out to Kieth and Alexia Larson, Eben and Cathy Gray, Shane and Diana Padgett (the coolest couple I know), and Ford Hatcher (who drives a Chevy).

Are you a self-promoter? For good reasons or bad?
