The Flames

The Flames flickered violently
As the wind and the rain beat upon them
They danced like David danced
Majestically, Mesmorizingly, Magically
The roaring flames flickered and flowed ever constant but never the same
Like the waves of the sea, predictable yet uncontrollable
Dancing upon the rocks searching, licking at anything it may consume

The Flames, they are jealous
They desire to consume everything, wanting all things for themselves
The Flames, they consume, they destroy
singeing, burning and roaring.
They devour, they overtake and consume all
All who will let them

The Flames they warm, they console
They change, they create
They love...
There is life within the flames
I am different here,
Lighter--cleaner

In the Flames, I feel loved
The way I need to be loved
In the Flames I feel like me
I feel different in the Flames
I am purged in the Flames

As I look in these Flames I see secrets
The Flames, they teach me
These Flames are ETERNAL
In them is life everlasting

I learn how to live from these flames,

For our God is a consuming fire. Heb 12:29

Interesting fact about Lebron James

I heard an interesting stat a while back. In true game winning scenarios. King James shoots the ball at less than 14% lifetime. in this context a game winner would be defined as less than 24 seconds left on the clock, down by 2 or less, with a made shot winning the game or forcing over time. Where as Melo’s numbers in the same category are around 50% from the field. Upon researching it more on 82games.com I found that Lebron and Kobe’s percentage’s are similar Kobe has taken far more attempts. the numbers show 4 out of 19 for King James where as Kobe’s numbers come in at 7 for 32. Both shooting roughly 21 % where as Melo is shooting in the 60% range. Lebron has 2 turnovers to Kobe’s one. And while they both have attempted nine free throws Kobe made eight of those attempts where as Lebron has only made five. While copy is a better percentage shooter by hundredths of a percent. It seems that when you factor all of the numbers in, Lebron simply is not as reliable of a last seconf choice the Kobe over the long term. In the end the missed free throw attempts are what really kills Bron Bron

More about Lebron

A few months ago I wrote a posting expressing why Lebron James is overrated, and just possibly a creation of David Stern in a laboratory. James has always had a bit of a mulligan considering the fact that often times he never really had a that good of a squad to help him. However, this year, especially after the trade deadline Lebron has what can be considered an all time squad. Shaq is not really any worse than when he won a ring with Wade, and in fact has played very well this year. A healthy Mo Williams is an all star caliber lead guard. J.J Hickson is an athletic and developing power forward. Then when you come either with Anthony Parker or Delonte West at the off guard position, you have to ask, if Lebron fails to to win a ring or even get to the finals this year will he bear the same level of blame for said failure that a player like Kobe would. Would he be blamed as much as he is praised for his successes. There is not a player in the Cavs rotation who is not All Star quality. After the starters coming of the bench you have the likes of Antwan Jamison and Anderson Varejao. Varejao is one of the best energy guys of our generation. And Jamison is one of the best swing guys we have seen a very long time. Lebron has one of the best supporting casts in the league.

If Lebron can't get to the finals this year with the squad he has now, will he still be considered one of the greatest in the game. Wade got a ring with this same incarnation of Shaq that Lebron has and Lebron has better role players. He missed 4 free throws again today. If you replace Lebron with Kobe, Wade or Melo and the Cavs are a sure fire championship team. We will have to see about Lebron.

For all of the improvement that the Cavs have done to their roster they have been unable to get over the top in the past. Many have said it is because of the lack of help for the King. If the Cavs fail to win a title this year with a roster much better than Jordan ever had. will we still consider Lebron a legitimate MVP candidate? Will he still be considered one of the greatest of all time?

Day 2 in Israel

Today we did a lot of amazing things. I was able to collect a period shard of pottery, picked some stones out of the same stream that David did and stood in the town where the Prophet Micah was born. Got some excellent video's and pics. But I have to say, the highlight of the day was when we got to the hotel on the Mediterranean and I went and play in the sea as well as walked along the beach. Talk about dreams coming true. This is a truly amazing and fantastic country. I have never seen so much history, culture and meaning packed into one place before. It is truly awesome, sharing this experience with so many wonderful Christians. I am truly humbled and blessed by how good God has been. But not only that, but the amazing blessing that all of the people have been. A real encouragement. Tonight after dinner and some heated doctrinal discussions, a group of us went and walked along the beach and talked about Jesus under star filled skies. It was a truly humbling experience. To think that God took the time to create all of this wonder with all of the diverse wildlife. All of the plants, animals, different types of rocks and weather systems. And yet he spent an entire day creating us and giving us life.Not only that, but that he has spent thousands of years, helping us, aiding and guiding us...sh owing us how to get it right. It  is truly amazing how great our God is.
