bored?

Here are some pretty good websites to take up your time.

This is an infinite picture, when you click on it to zoom in, the picture is made of smaller pictures, hard to explain, but it is pretty cool. Check it out.... CLICK ME

LaRae catches me on this site all the time. Its friv.com all it is, is little video games, some are horribly bad, others are very addicting. Good time waster.

If you like music then here are some great websites...

8tracks, is a great place to discover new music. People just post their mixes on here and you can listen to them. Some really weird stuff, but also some very cool/hilarious stuff. Check it out. www.8tracks.com or listen to one of my all time favorites from 8tracks by clicking HERE

And just because this is awesome...

um...

So you can laugh at this person, but sadly I am not sure if I, personally, have ever been this excited about anything in my life. So more power to ya.

a quick one.

This blog is going to be short. I love my wife. I don't know if I would be ME with out HER. Ministry would be pretty lame without her, and I can't wait to step into the unknown with her. Plus she is hot.*

*see picture (yes i am schlub next to her, hence the reason I am lucky)

Gamaliel.

Gamaliel was a member of the council that had brought some of the apostles in to question. The council was wanting to kill them and Gamaliel sends out the apostles to talk with the council and this is what he says. "...keep away from these men and let them alone, for if this plan or this undertaking is of man, it will fail; but if it is of God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You might even be found opposing God!” So they took his advice" Acts 5:38&39

Smart guy.

What is awesome about this is that we have that same advantage. If we do something for Christ and for the right reasons we can not be stopped. Man that makes me want to run around and do everything that I can. Get motivated.

"When I want what God wants, and want it for the reasons God wants it, I am unbeatable and unstoppable."

Awesome. I hope this puts a little pip in your step.

love.

If you read this please just take the time to stop and think about the love of Christ. Easter is next week, and yeah we always think about how much God loves us because he sent his Son and he died for us. But take the time to think about how he loves us. He loves me the way I am. Not the future me, or the man that I want to be. My mistakes, my faults, my sins; it doesn't matter, He loves me in spite of all this. Sometimes I do feel an urge to put on the "Saint Cody Suit." After all I am a worship leader at a church so that means I need to be perfect. But that is totally wrong. God doesn't love "Saint Cody" because He didn't make him. He made me. Yes I am going to always try to be a better man and strive to be like Christ, but to white wash myself to appear like I am something else isn't right. That is why I work at being the same person on Saturday night as I am on Sunday morning. And if I do this and work at it, then I can leave that Saint Cody Suit in the closet.
Sometimes I think my reputation is so much more important then my actual relationship with Jesus. So I can end up wasting so much time protecting my rep. I believe that a true liberty or freedom exists once you can be real with yourself and others, with no fear of being "caught." I am not saying just abandon your testimony, represent Christ always! But remember to be real and authentic. Perfection is not real and won't be achieved by us (Ecclesiastes 7:20). So why do we pretend to be that which isn't even reality? I know that sounded very philosophical, but just think it over.
