walking along the beech, i came across what i thought was a red flower.... much to my disappointment it turned out to be a nasty red pepper...

as usual some random thing got me thinking, and i started coming up with all sorts of analogies.

i guess sometimes things just aren't what you think they are....

check my Deviant art page for some pictures I took while in Florida

here i am in the car driving down to Florida with my family + Leah's friend Charlette. Right now we are sitting in ATL Traffic yo, which is pretty much the worst ever. We are about 8 hours from our destination, and it is 1:30 which means we will get there probably around 10 or 11 because of stops along the way. Unfortunately this means i will have to miss LOST!!!!! plus i already missed the announcement of who got voted off AMERICAN IDOL *crossed fingers that Jason stayed on*. but yeah, The end of the world? i think so.

i guess there's always the internet....

speaking of the internet, having a macbook is alot less fun without access to the web. i was going to do something on garageband and half the loops you have to download! which is difficult without internet. finding wi-fi spots is pretty challenging on the road. Luckily this dilemma will be remedied when we get to my Nana's house.

talk you you all then!

Global warming



So i am going to do a Pseudo political blog seeing as i haven't ever done one on here that i can remember.



I was driving in the car with the Huerta family and Micaela brought up how Christians deal with the controversial topic of Global warming. It sorta got me thinking and so here is my take on the issue

I think that Christians can't deny that global warming is happening. Polar ice caps are smaller and scientists can measure CO2 levels etc. I think the controversy is the cause of it, and to what extent. For one, this isn't the first time climate issues have been risen. back in the 70s scientists said that an"ice age was imminent". How much of the climate changes naturally? how much is humans?

People like Al Gore and the far left environmental organization ELF (Earth Liberation Front) would like us to believe that its humans fault and some would go so far as to say its the U.S.'s fault mainly. E.L.F., which holds this view, was responsible for the burning of $10 million worth of homes a few weeks ago in Seattle because the homes weren't "green enough". For one the claim that Global warming is mainly the U.S.'s fault is bogus. if you have been to any third world country and stood on the streets you will realize that the United States is remarkably clean in comparison.


As a Christian i personally feel my role in this is to be a good steward to the earth that God has given us, and if there are chances to conserve waste and to be more earth friendly, then to of course take them. who would want to pollute the earth? Also to be open minded and realize that there are other causes for global warming than humans (the sun is burning brighter, current changes, movement of the Milky way etc.) (not saying that humans shouldn't do what they can to prevent it) and be wary of spending millions of dollars of tax money on things that we are not even sure about, and that scientists can't all agree on.

but ultimately we know that we have a Father in heaven who has the whole world in his hands, and we can be rest assured that his plan for his creation is the best one.

so the other day i was sitting at Dunn Bros with Beau, we were supposed to be doing homework.....like thats gonna happen though!
anyways instead of doing our homework we decided to make me a facebook profile picture on beau's beloved Adobe illustrator instead. After brainstorming and randomly chose to do a sky theme it popped into my head that this was the same theme as my blog!!

"take to the sky"

thats the title of my blog and the picture!

now if only it had some significant meaning....

well im gonna start to write on here more often.

Til next time!
