My Favorite show ever!

Yes this show you probably have never heard of is in my humble opinion...The Greatest Show Ever!! Haven't heard of it? Don't Fear you can always watch some of the seasons on Instant Play, or on this sight, http://www.free-tv-video-online.info/internet/top_gear/, ( Start on Season 4 that is when it starts to be amazing) So here are some things you should know, Top Gear is a British TV show about cars...not into cars never fear this show is so much more than a car program it has fun challenges and other things that will make you laugh until you cry (trust me) Ok so this show is amazing from the beginning theme song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WYBfEdEoAUY to the funny sign offs. The show usually consists of road tests of a car followed by the Stig (look below), then News, and a celebrity Drives a reasonably priced car, and usually some kind of challenge that the 3 presenters do. Here are the main hosts on the show:


Jeremy Clarkson: The shows main character/ Presenter the funniest part of this show I believe.

Richard Hammond: The "short" one also a very hilarious and quick witted  co host of this program.


James May: Nick named by Jeremy Clarkson as "Captain Slow", is almost the voice of reason between these three presenters.






The Stig: The "Tamed Racing Driver" that is truly a mythical creature that is introduced by Jeremy and always start with the phrase, "some say" and continue with things like, "• Some say that his heart ticks like a watch, and that he’s confused by stairs..", and ,"Some say that his politics are terrifying, and that he once punched a horse to the ground..." and other random things you. Most of these have to do with popular events in Brittain, but most I can understand.You begin to fall in love with the mysteriousness of Lord Stig, whose identity has never been found out and always wears his racing outfit, you do know that he does have cousins in different countries.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfRMYfvF9Xc






























So there you have it.. watch this show and change your life forever!

Thoughts at 3:00 in the AM

Pretty sure I have insomnia!.....Anyways...


While reading Luke tonight the Idea of Denying yourself came up, so I decided to blog about it like I did a while back...Because if anything it helps me get my thoughts written down so I can see them and remember what I read....anyways


   Luke 9:23-24 says, " 23And He said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me.24For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: but whosoever will lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it ."


    I think I have always believed that this verse means that we just have to live for God and endure hardships, but tonight it meant so much more....Tonight it struck me that this also means that we have to abstain from the sin that keeps us far from God, and take our convictions with us every day, and everywhere we go...(if that makes any sense)...This means that none of our Earthly desires should come in the way of God...(easy to say,not so easy to do!!) 
   Side note:  (This is where I personally fall short....sure I can post verses and posts on what verses I read and what I think about them, but when it comes down to the rubber meeting the road...[hope I am using this analogy correctly]...I fall short...why is this?) I think this is where a whole bunch of Christians end up as well...
    Anyways how can we apply this in our everyday lives? That is what I have been pondering myself...I think we can understand that as Christians, and as people, we will have to endure hardships, but as followers of Christ we will never face them alone, we have support! Also we need to bring our convictions with us wherever we may go...School? Work? with friends?...Grocery Store?...Wherever! If you can take anything from this I guess it is that we will have to endure hardships, and give the worldly things we still hold on to to God....And not hold onto our old lives or baggage (Like the Chair video...we want God to rule our lives except for certain gray areas of it that you still hold onto...You have to make decision!)...but always remember God loves you!!  "26 Look at the birds. They don’t plant or harvest or store food in barns, for your heavenly Father feeds them. And aren’t you far more valuable to him than they are?"

Thanks Planet Earth!

Roots...

Buy one, and change the world
Sitting on my couch with my LHC "So Fresh & So Clean" tank top on.

     I guess this post is for the three people who read my blog that are not from Lake Hills....
  
         Inspired by my youth pastor's talk tonight...why not make a blog about your roots....I know I know...Tim roots, what does that have to do with anything? Glad you asked...(no one really asked me), Tonight we discussed How as christians our "roots" are a metaphor for how strong our faith in God is.

GOOD!
  
     Lets start off with Big roots...(you were all begging me to those ones first) and how they are the best base for all plants to grow. So say you are a plant...(I know what you are thinking...tim that is crazy i cant even think about something like that...bare with me) If a huge hurricane comes through your "forest"(your life) wouldn't you want the biggest roots in the world so that you didn't get knocked over? (your answer should be yes) In summary shouldn't our walk be the same?....in the words of Demetri Martin, "Think about it".



BAD!
      And now of course we have the opposite of those big roots, which are.....if you guessed small roots you are CORRECT! (spicing up this post) Anyways when life throws you challenges are you just going to be discouraged and never pick yourself back up? (sorry no longer a metaphor...kind of) Why not prepare yourself for that rainy day when you feel like you cant handle it anymore? again...."Think about it".
