“A person should set his goals as early as he can and devote all his energy and talents to getting there. With enough effort, he may achieve it. Or he may find something that is even more rewarding. But in the end, no matter what the outcome, he will know he has been alive.” – Walt Disney
Off Campus: Light, Darkness, and Skylanders
In the realm of Skylands, the powers of light and darkness eternally warred with one another. The Darkness, an unknown evil represented by ominous clouds, was held at bay by a great machine known as the Core of Light. Protecting the Core of Light, the good Portal Master Eon and his faithful guardians, the Skylanders, stood watch. One day, an evil Portal Master known as Kaos returned and set in motion hell in Skyland form. Launching an assault that destroyed the Core of Light, diminished Eon to a spirit form, and sent the Skylanders packing to Earth, Kaos’s power grew. Defeated, the Skylanders were torn away from their magical Skylands. As they traveled further and further away from home, they grew smaller. Arriving on Earth, they now appear to humans as mere toys. The Darkness grows, a new Portal Master is needed, that Portal Master is you.

Anxious
2014 is looming on the horizon. I find myself thinking about what life changes I want to make next year; I find myself anxious to see where God is going to lead my family. Speaking of the word anxious, if there was one verse that God has been trying to nail into my head that verse would be Philippians 4:6.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” – Philippians 4:6 (NIV)
Time and time again, I have seen God move on behalf of my family. Whether that has meant a random check in the mail to help pay for student loans or even God advocating on my behalf in certain situations, He has constantly reinforced that He is in control…no matter how hard I try to be.
What has God been doing in your life? What has He been teaching you?
Verses for the Day – 1 John 4:20-21
20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen. 21 And he has given us this command: Anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister. – 1 John 4:20-21 (NIV)
(Note: I have a hard time with these verses. They ultimately reveal my need to pray.)
The Stanley Parable Demo
Have you had a chance to play The Stanley Parable Demo yet? Do yourself a favor and check this game out. I am amazed at how clever it is and how much the game lampoons core video game mechanics within a small period of time. Also, the demo made me laugh out loud several times. A good thing for those who are wondering.
