It's a lot better than how you got your name, probably.
Sorry, it just is.
What is the worst sin we can commit?
And when he comes, he will convince the world of its sin, and of God's righteousness, and of the coming judgment.
The worst sin
What would you consider the worst sin you could commit? Adultery? Stealing? Murder? You might be surprised by the answer the Bible gives.The worst sin—and the one with the most far-reaching consequences—is this: to refuse to believe in Jesus Christ.
Jesus taught that the Holy Spirit convicts guilty men and women of sin "because they do not believe in Me." (John 16:9) On that final day, it will not so much be the sin question as it will be the Son question. All sins can be dealt with and forgiven if we believe in Jesus.
We must not forget that knowledge brings responsibility. It is a grave thing to shake off the conviction of the Spirit.
Jesus said the Spirit came to convict us "of judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged" (John 16:11). The ruler or prince of this world, Satan, was judged at Calvary. When Jesus went to the cross and died in our place, Satan lost his death grip on humanity.
The spirit convicts us of sin, righteousness, and judgment, but He wants most of all to give us assurance of forgiven sin. Why not let Him do what He really desires to do? Why not come to Jesus? Or if you have already done that, help someone else to follow your example.

I suppose a bigger problem would be being able to find it in my "recent calls" folder, which I can access to without the tracking ball. Then I would probably be morbidly obese and unable to do a lot of things beside getting into my address book... like using the key pad or having friends I can hang out with outside of my house.
1: I am not that emotional.
2: What?! You're not emotional?
1: Not really.
2: You are very emotional. You're like Oprah's used tampon.
Hey, Guys. You know how sometimes you break up with someone and then like, within a month or two's time you guys are totally sick of each other's faces and are kind of disgusted by the fact that you once fucked and said "I love you"?
OK, cool.
So I'm not saying I'd ever really be down for sloppy seconds or whatever, but if you guys break up and it happens to be one of those situations, maybe I can get in on the Matt Creed party. Like, Alexis, I'd never steal him from you or attempt to do so and Matt, you don't have to worry about me coming on to you when we all hang out as a group or whatever... but like, file me away in your catalog of "Babes I'd do when I broke up with my girlfriend Alexis Hyde after we tried and tried to make it work but we just wound up hating each other's faces."
That'd be cool, thanks.
And Alexis, like... whenever you want to lend me your boyfriend to come install wall-sized art and walk around with a couple of nails in his mouth using his hands and shit, that'd also be a pretty sweet compromise. And by "compromise" I mean "Can I hook up with your imaginary boyfriend sometimes?"
K, THX
What were you afraid of when you were younger that seems silly to you now?

Uhhh that a monster (el cucuy) would be hiding under my bed and would try to get me unless I hid under my covers. I thought that my blanket would be my protection... this video clip proves me wrong. HA!
What's your favorite season and why?
Submitted by [Susan]
The "fall" is my favorite season. Why you ask? It's football season!
So, about two months ago, one of my best friends gave me a book called Skinny Bitch. No, she didn't think I was fat, but rather thought I would enjoy the biting humor of the two women who authored it. I did, and the rest of totally changed my attitude about food. I have always eaten everything, and have never had an issue with anyone who didn't eat meat, etc. In fact I've hardly touched beef or pork in years (health reasons). What my friend didn't know was that the women who wrote the book are vegans. But what I read solidified my reasons for already staying away from most dairy and meat: too much bothers my stomach and I would rather do without the pain everyday.
Each chapter in the book focuses on one topic or food item. For example, dairy, meat, soda, etc. And, whoa, some of the stuff in this book is well, whoa! You just need to read it. The book is well documented and quite fascinating. Interestingly enough, because I was working in a restaurant the last year, I drank a lot of soda. About three months ago, I decided to drop that from my diet mainly because it makes me feel bloated, and lo and behold, no stomach issues! Well, I thought, what's the next thing I can 86 from my diet that bothers my stomach? Coffee...yep, just gave it up cold turkey. What a difference!! I actually felt more tired when I drank caffeine all day!
Needless to say, my friend probably never thought this book would actually turn me from a ravenous carnivore into almost vegan (I say that because I try to eat vegan, although, living with my mom right now, I would have to buy all my own groceries and I just can't afford it. So, I will be eating a lot of whole grain pasta and veggies!). But, my health has improved, I have a ton of energy, I've lost fat, and not buying meat, dairy and eggs saves me a ton of money!
So, I check the L.A. times everyday and they reviewed this restaurant, which, I will have to drive to soon to try:)
The Vegan Spot: A vegan twist on comfort food in Silver Lake

Vegan sandwiches and smoothies at the Vegan Spot in Silver Lake
IF YOU think vegan junk food is an oxymoron, you've obviously never had a dairy-free "Twinkie" from the Vegan Spot. So great is the public desire for them that Silver Lake's newest vegan destination -- it's been open for three months -- regularly sells out of the golden-cake tubes filled with rich white frosting.
"I hadn't had a Twinkie in probably 25 years," says the restaurant's co-owner and chef, Sara Radovanovitch, about her first taste when the baker brought them in. "It was amazing. I'm eating something that totally tastes like my youth and it's not going to give me a heart attack."
The 31-year-old Radovanovitch has been a vegetarian for 20 years and a vegan for 10. Her robust complexion, tan skin and long, shiny blond hair repudiate the old myth that you'll waste away if you don't eat meat or dairy.

Still, Radovanovitch found she couldn't shake a hankering for all the forbidden foods she grew up with in the Midwest.
Like many vegans, she spent much of her time cooking for herself and became an expert at making what she calls "vegan comfort food."
She opened the Vegan Spot with her friend Miranda Megill, who owns a popular vegan restaurant near Sunset Junction called Flore. Radovanovitch was waiting tables there when the two hit on the idea of opening another restaurant with more playful, less straight-up healthful leanings.
At first glance, the menu makes die-hard vegans feel guilty just for looking at it. Roast beef and cheddar sandwiches, Philly cheese steaks, corned beef Reubens, turkey dinner sandwiches, nachos and French bread pizza are listed alongside a lengthy roster of salads, wraps and shakes that include decadent-sounding flavors such as orange cream and chocolate-banana-peanut butter.
Radovanovitch says the most popular menu item is the roast beef and cheddar sandwich. Made with homemade seitan (gluten flour and seasonings), sliced deli thin and marinated in a browning sauce to give it a beefy color, it's served on a crusty French roll and smothered with a cheese sauce made from nutritional yeast, flour, pureed carrot and soy margarine.
The result is eerily addictive but pleasantly light.
As Radovanovitch says, "I want to give people what they miss and what they crave. Only I want to give them a healthier version."
Vegan Spot, 3206 W. Sunset Blvd., L.A.; (323) 667-0116. Sandwiches, salads and wraps $8.95 to $9.95; shakes $4.95; street parking; open daily for breakfast, lunch and dinner from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.; delivery available.
Like any comic fan geek boy I still can't get enough of the 2008 film The Dark Knight. For me it's ranks on top of my list of must own DVDs. I don't care the cost, I plan on buying the premium package because I'm sure there will be several (and cheaper) DVD packages. Anyway, here's a video of "The Passenger" with clips from the movie. I dig this tune too by the way... This is the Michael Hutchence cover of Iggy Pop's song.
