Review of The Case for a Creator: A Journalist Investigates Scientific Evidence That Points Toward God by Lee Strobel.

A very good book. Excellent! He does the research for you. He gives a compelling case for intelligent design. Also a very easy read and should be apart of every American high school reading assignment.

What he does is show real proof for the existence of a creator through scientific means in the areas of physics, astronomy, bio-chemistry, and biology, and dismisses the evolution theories with real modern scientific proof.

6 Steps To Find A Spouse

Ask God for one.

Whatever goal you have, you need to first ask God for help.
Say this prayer: God Almighty, I am alone. I do not want to be alone. I need your help to find a Husband/Wife. Please bring a good person into my life that I can share my life with. Someone I can love and that will love me and marry me. In Jesus name Amen.

It does not have to be the exact prayer above. But pray it with a humble heart and God will help you.

Work on yourself

Work on all aspects of your life. The more you work on yourself the more attractive you will be to a potential spouse.

Physical: Loose weight and exercise.

Emotional: Forgive the people who have hurt you in the past.
This will help clean out your emotional closet.

Spiritual: Read the Bible and pray. Get involved with your local church.

financial: Put away money. Tithe. Invest your money in appreciating assets like homes, stocks, bonds, rental property, businesses. Stop spending money on depreciating assets like cars, cloths, and jewelry.

Intellectual: Read a book. Take a class. Learn something new about the world.

Go to the places you like

If you like to dance, go to a night club. Not all people at night clubs are evil. What ever you like to do. Do it. God will send you someone wherever you are.

Be honest, and look for a good heart

Whenever you meet a potential spouse, it is very hard to be yourself and be open. But you should be yourself and be honest because you want the non-God-chosen person to leave as quickly as possible. The one God chooses for you will not leave when they hear about your faults. In fact their reaction should be glad you told them the truth. This is the kind of heart you should be looking for and a good test.

Be accepting

Same thing on the flip side. When you meet a person,
you really need to ask yourself what is important. Is weight important? Is height? Is it financial status? Experience has shown that a forgiving person and one that is willing to learn about God, is all you need to have a long term successful marriage.

Do not sleep with them before marriage

Sleeping with people before marriage is dangerous to your health.
It gives you skeletons. It give you unrealistic expectations in your marriage. You may get a disease that is contagious or not curable. Other than pleasure, there is no good reason to have sex before marriage. If God has sent this person, they will wait for you. This will test their love for you. You have the rest of your marriage to have sexual pleasure without the guilt or diseases.

Cool. Very cool. I like all the characters except the split personality psycho chick.
It is about time a good sci-fi comes on regular TV. I can’t wait until the next episode. Unfortunately my wife is not digging it. I think it had a little too much gore and evil for her to stomach But I’m digging it. I love the time traveling with a comic book. The flying guy, I’m warming up to. The invincible cheer leader is fine with me. Let me know what do you think?

8 steps to master your financial world

1 Ask God for help. Say this prayer: God Almighty, thank you for everything. I need your help lord. Please give me the wisdom and intelligence to better manage my income.

2 Make a budget
Start figuring out where your money is being spent and on what.
Budget your money.
I deal budget:

10% both long term and short term savings.
10% charity (Tithe – give to church, parents, family, homeless, anyone who needs it.)
10% used to pay off any outstanding balances
70% living expenses,cloths, rent etc.

3 Tithe – This is very important. Giving 10% of your money to the church, the fatherless, family and poor. Is the right thing to do and you will find favor with God.

4 Stop using credit cards
Credit cards should only be used for emergencies. If you can not pay off the credit card every month, don’t use it at all.

5 Pay off bills
Start with the smallest balance. Payoff the smallest balance first. Once that bill is gone. Pay off the the next smallest bill. The last bill that should be payed off is your house mortgage.

6 Buy a house
If you are living in an apartment, you need to move out as fast as possible.
Work with a bank and come up with a strategy to obtain a house.
Apartments are a waste of money, there are no tax benefits and no chance for equity.

7 Buy used cars
Do not, I repeat do not, buy new cars. They are also a waste of money. Try to buy a car 3 to 4 years old. You can afford a better quality car for less money, if it is just a few years old. Start thinking about your next car about one year before you buy it. Then decide what you want to buy and then save up for a car and buy it with cash.

8 Acquire Assets
Buy things that go up in value. Like gold, stocks, bonds, mutual funds, Cd’s, rental property, businesses, and franchises etc.
