A sermon from The UnChristian
Though I was Christian for most of my life ,I don't claim to be so now. After years of studying the bible and the Torah I threw them out except..the words in red.
Though I don't believe in the God of the Torah, bible or Koran I do believe that Jesus was a profound man who spoke words of truth. And that if the Christians would only really live by them the world would be completely changed.
From the time of his birth till his death Jesus spoke only of love, peace, kindness,charity and man serving man and not himself. He said if a man had, he was to give to others. He said life was not about an abundance of possessions but storing up treasures in heaven.
Remember the young man who came to Jesus and asked what he must do that he might inherit eternal life? Jesus first told him to keep the commandments. The young man replied he had done these things from his youth.Then Jesus told him to sell all he had and give it to the poor and to take up his cross and follow him. And the young man went away sad because his things meant more to him than following Jesus and instead of parting with them...he parted from Jesus. ( Mark 10:17 - 10:25)
Matthew 7:14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
Christmas is coming soon. All my Christian friends have told me of their Christmas plans, parties and travels. They have told me of gifts they're giving and gifts they wish for but not one has said to me " I look forward to celebrating the birth of Jesus and I hope I will find a way of spending that day in a manner that is pleasing to him".
You see, for most Jesus is still hanging on that cross.. or laying in his tomb dead and they act as if his word died with him. And they visit his grave now and then and lay down a few flowers and leave. And then feel as if they have done their duty.
For the few Jesus is risen and alive and well and living in them. And the "word" he spoke is alive and living in them also and they have cast off their "grave clothes' and they are following him where ever he is going.
The gate is narrow and they must enter single file, following directly behind him, not off to one side or the other but placing their feet directly in his footsteps...this my friend is a true follower of Jesus!
As for me,I can't say whether or not Jesus arose from the dead. Like Thomas I would have to touch him physically to know that. I cannot say I believe he was God or the son of God. But, I do believe Jesus spoke the truth when he said we must take care and love one another. We must share what we have and not neglect the poor. And I do believe that a life defined by the "possessions you gather" instead of the love you share is no life at all.
John 14:24 He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings: and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the Father's which sent me.

A really big rap tour is exactly what the game needs right now. A rep for Soulja Boy Tell'em told MTV News that the rapper will be joining Lil Wayne on tour this summer, along with Young Jeezy and Wayne's fast-rising protégé Drake. Sources in Wayne's camp told MTV News they are confident that a tour with at least some of the four players will happen.
In May, Drake told MuchMusic about a similar tour that, at the time, was supposed to include Jay-Z.
"God willing, if everything goes according to plan and everybody's schedule is in place, then I will be on tour with some amazing people," Drake said. "One of them being Jay-Z, one of them being Lil Wayne, one of them being Young Jeezy and one of them being me."
Jay has lined up a tour this summer, with Ciara opening up some dates, that kicks off in Las Vegas on July 3.
Thursday night from the Los Angeles Lakers game, Soulja Boy Tell'em announced the tour on Twitter.
"TSA (Twitter Service Announcement) — I'm going on Tour with Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy & Drake this summer! Get ya tickets ASAP!!!!" he Tweeted.
Dates for the tour are still being locked down.
Drake has been working on Rihanna's next album as well as his proper debut album. Soulja Boy has been in the lab recording, as has Young Jeezy. Wayne told us on Sunday that his long-awaited Rebirth album is done. It's now scheduled for an August 18 release, although a new single has not been announced.
"I wanted to grow, and show my growth as well," Wayne said after the MTV Movie Awards. "It's a difference from when you go in a room and come out and you're better and everyone says, 'How did you do that?' So with this album, I wanted everyone to see my growing pains."
Wayne recently wrapped up his I Am Music Tour with T-Pain, Gym Class Heroes, Gorilla Zoe, Keyshia Cole and others.
DJ AM plans to tell all.
The celebrity DJ has battled substance abuse, used gastric bypass surgery to treat obesity, dated a slew of Hollywood starlets and, of course, most recently fought for his life after that tragic plane crash.
It's no wonder he's planning on releasing his memoirs some day...
"I will definitely be writing a book," AM told us last night at Activision's DJ Hero launch at the Wiltern Theatre in L.A. "I'll work on it when I see the ending in sight. That may be a long time from now, but it will happen."
AM was on hand last night with best bud Travis Barker to open for an invite-only concert by Jay-Z and Eminem.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Tobey Maguire, Usher, lovebirds Ryan Phillippe and gal-pal Abbie Cornish, Matthew McConaughey and Taraji P. Henson were among the boldfaced names hanging in the VIP area.
Even though Kim Kardashian is mocked in Eminem's new music, that didn't stop the E! reality star from having a good time. Also appearing to have a very good time? Ashlee Simpson-Wentz. A wobbly Ms. Ashlee was spotted leaving the VIP area with drink in hand and on the arms of a friend and a bodyguard.
It wasn't until midnight that Jay-Z finally hit the stage, performing snippets of "99 Bottles," "Swagger Like Us," and "Dirt Off Your Shoulder," among others.
Eminem joined him on stage for their 2001 collaboration, "Renegade." Slim Shady then performed a solo set of five songs.

More than 10 years ago, a slew of young stars hit the pop charts. Although the queen bees were Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, back then, Mandy Moore held her own with hits like "Candy" and "I Wanna Be With You."
With Spears and Aguilera continually reinventing themselves but staying true to what Moore considers their "formula," the singer/actress has moved on with a throwback to a " '70s sort of Southern California pop sound" on her new album, Amanda Leigh.
"I kind of always knew we would all differentiate ourselves from one another," she told MTV News. "Musically, they've stuck to a formula that works for them and, obviously, has always proven successful. I don't think I found that same success singing music that really, at the end of the day, I wasn't happy singing."
But Moore said she wasn't trying to prove anything by jumping off that bandwagon. "It wasn't a bold gesture to try and show that I was an adult," she explained. "I sort of have taken my baby steps to get to where I am today. I feel comfortable singing the music that I'm singing, because it's coming from me, finally."
In fact, Moore helped write all the music on Amanda Leigh, making the album in Boston to stay away from the distractions of her life in New York and Los Angeles. "It's the record I've always wanted to make," she said of the LP, which debuted at #25 on the Billboard albums chart this week. "And I'm excited for people to hear it. It's sort of got a tinge of all the artists that I love and listen to on a consistent basis."
The album — which she said was inspired by Brian Wilson, Joni Mitchell and "maybe even a little McCartney" — was recorded on vintage equipment and with Moore's more mature view of life. Partly thanks to her marriage to rocker Ryan Adams, it is a far cry from the music and themes she sang about back in the day.
"I think I have a lot more information now, be it life experience, discovering new music. ... I know what I'm singing about now," she said. "Everything is really personal now, whereas before, I had no connection to it. It's deeper now. It's a bit more organic, because it's what I want to say."

Computers and Daily Life
We cannot Unbind Computers from the people in the modern world. It's combined with all the activities of people in their daily life .We can categorize the usage of computer into two types
They are
1.Business
2.Entertainment
All the programming, Data storage, Internet and all the official works comes under Business Rest of all the activities like Chatting, browsing, Listening to music and watching video's and gaming Etc comes under Entertainment. Now a days There are "n" number of computer manufacturers available in the market .They are delivering new technologies in their products to get more market .everyday they are trying to deliver new features in their product to their customers. It shrunk the world- “yes we can access through computer any thing in the world, for example long back to access your bank account you need to go to bank and you have to wait for a long while to do your work ,but now most of the banks giving opportunity to access their account through net banking we cab use this feature via internet .Overall this we can conclude people can't live without computers.

Blog #59
1/5 of a Dairy Milk!
I suppose writing Regenbogen Streifen did something for my writing confidence...
I had to write a big fuck off analysis in Media Studies this morning.
I shan't lie and say it was a piece of piss, because I did struggle with it a little. I did get around a page done, but I do think it was a load of shite.
At least I wasn't as dramatic as the last time. But saying that, I was in a worse position last time.
I met up with Shelly after the lesson, walked into town and got our lunches. We ate them back in college at around 11:45. I got my usual sarnie - the slag was proper skimpy with the chicken mayo today for some reason...
I'd printed out a copy of Regenbogen Streifen - I let Shelly read it.
As I did expect, it upset her.
I'm still not allowing myself to let Ashleigh read it. She was upset by Carving - and Regenbogen is far far worse, emotion-wise.
When we were sat with Lewis and Danny later in the day - we all chipped in and went fifths on a Dairy Milk.
Lmfao, seriously. Talk about scummy students - sharing out a single bar of chocolate. Honestly. :)
I was sat beside Ashleigh - all day I'd been thinking about Regenbogen Streifen.
I started to get upset, so I cried with my head down. I put my hand on Ash's lap and she squeezed my hand.
I can't describe how happy that made me... :(
Living Alone
"Blargh!" I cheerfully greeted the morning.
Actually, it was indeed relatively cheerful. Having a room and a bathroom entirely to myself is going to start messing with me, soon. At the moment, we're just at the stage where my laundry is everywhere (okay, that's because only half of it fits in my hamper, and I do a lot more personal randomness because it entertains me. But you just wait.
I imagine that there might be people who are designed to lead a solo lifestyle. I am not one of them. I live in a space without having to share it with anyone, and I become very self-interested, self-centered, and an internet-addicted hermit. As much as I fantasize about having my own place, kitty, and hours, I'm not designed to live that way. As a person, I require community to keep things balanced. I recognize this, and boot myself out of my room on a regular basis.
Lizzie has a cat, a rat, and a guitar in her room. I'll go hang out there. :P
It's not that I don't get annoyed with the people I live with sometimes. But that's kind of a good thing - it reminds you that this world was not in fact made for just you. The fact that I have to share a bathroom, come in at a reasonable hour, take turns on piano vs. tv time, for some reason make me a better person. I don't know why, it just happens that way.
It's even more fun at camp, because then I'm sharing a room with another seven girls, and there are fourteen of us to a bathroom. You will learn to get along with people, even people who would in other circumstances drive you crazy.
I know this for a fact - one of the other girls is someone I know from school.
If you ever read Blue Like Jazz, Miller's got some cool thoughts on this that stem from his deep resentment when he moved in with a couple of other guys who were suddenly interrupting the tv show that was all about him. Rather entertaining to read. He's got cool thoughts on a bunch of other topics - if you're a Christian or at all spiritual, you should definitely read it sometime.
