Isaiah 29:5 But your many enemies will become like fine dust, the ruthless hordes like blown chaff. There are many references through both the Old and New Testaments where God tells us that He is not only going to deliver us from our enemies but we are going to see their destruction. The important thing is that God is going to take care of this. It is not our place to judge. If we do judge our enemies, then we become like Jonah who just didnt understand that God's forgiveness is available to all people. Jonah sat on a hill waiting for Ninevah to be destroyed. He took it into his own hands to judge those people but in reality, they repented and became better people. Every single one of our enemies is able to be redeemed. And instead of us being disappointed, we should rejoice! Not only did our enemies enter a position of not being our enemies any longer, but the Kingdom of God has grown. These are the matters that God holds in His hands.... They are not in ours at all! God will bring Glory to Himself.... and I believe that all of us will benefit from that. Maybe we will face lots of pain in our lives but we will also see our enemies either completely destroyed or we will see them join us in Heaven. I think this should be great comfort to anyone who is experiencing pain. God doesnt allow us to be given into our enemies hands unless we have something to gain. God truly is an amazing God. He watches out for each one of us whether it seems like it or not. I am convinced that He is planning great things for each one of us, even as we go through these (seemingly) never-ending struggles. James said "Count it all Joy" when you face trials (James 1).... and maybe this is just part of what he meant by that. (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

"No, I do not. Nor do my children. My children--in many dimensions they're as poorly behaved as many other children, but at least on this dimension I've got my kids brainwashed: You don't use Google, and you don't use an iPod." Wow... Steve Balmer brainwashes his kids.... With skills like that, its no wonder Microsoft rules the world :) (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

One thing that comes to mind that fits this perfectly in my own life is the whole Tiff situation. I wanted to be with her so bad.... I enjoyed the times that we had together and I wanted those to live on.... but maybe I wished on someone else's star? Not only is she going to make another guy extremely happy, but there is another girl thats going to fit in my life better. It's been a hard thing getting over Tiff but now that I'm there, it feels so much better. I know that there is a completely amazing girl out there for me and maybe it's someone I already know.... The point is, it feels so much better to accept that fact that I may have wished on someone else's star and that if I did end up with Tiff, maybe some other guy out there would be heart broken. What happened has happened for a reason.... Both with Tiff and I getting together and with us breaking up. I'm a single person and I have an amazing girl in my future... and it feels good to look to the future instead of back on the past. If I wished on someone else's star and someone gets what I was wishing for, then I can really take that as I helped someone else out and in the future, I will receive something better than what I was wishing for. God certainly does take care of all of His children and I am very proud that I am His child. Even if He doesnt do things as quick as we want Him too, we have to understand that maybe He's working on an entire home-cooked dinner and not just microwaving the latest Hungry Man meal.

Everything in which you struggle and strive to be only proves that you are something that you cannot be. (See!) You're bringing me down with false words profound, making me pray for silence, the only golden sound. (See!) Why must I be required to suffer for art when it's something you exclude from the very start? (See!) You're putting me under a microscope. How will I cope when I know that there is no room to hope? And you're allowing me access to your family and slamming me, say this will be the fall of me. (When!) did you forget that freedom of speech is something I would protect, denying my fruits are in check? (When!) the words of the brethren, 'cause time and time again I see it put back together again. (When!) I had to come to terms that wherever you turn, some are quick to love and some would rather see you burn. This is my test of time! Endurance! Struggle is something that I'm used to been abused too and it's something that I know to be too true (Now!) And I remain the one to deal with false recognition, wishing still while you're dismissing. (Now!) that I agree and you agree that we can never agree and still you turn and run and I will see. (Now!) that this is all that you have for your case, you turn in disgrace Say it too my face! This is my test of time! Endurance! "Endurance" by EDL (Every Day Life) (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |
I guess the biggest problem is that there is just so much on my mind right now... and so many things that I need to get done. I'm not really so much worried about New Life and MFC but its the little odd jobs that are stacking up against me.... Helping friends and relatives.... and I just simply am not able to make the time for them that I would like to. I havent talked to even my mom in weeks.... I tried to call Friday when I had some time but she was busy and then later I was busy again. I'm just really starting to feel bad about this stuff.... I'm trying... I really am.... and the other tough part is people dont understand how much it easier for me to communicate with email than on the phone.... But I know everyone else wants to discuss things and get things resolved on the phone but it just doesnt work for me.... email is so much easier for me because I am a multi-tasker. Half my life is waiting on a computer to do something so in those moments, I can work on another project for a brief period of time.... this is perfect for sending an email response but if I start a phone conversation, it goes on for a while and next thing you know, my other project gets pushed back, I get distracted and things get frustrating. I'm trying... I really am trying..... The fortunate but also unfortunate thing is that I have a lack of people to hang out with and such so to keep myself busy, I'm working on these projects... but at the same time, I dont have any way of relaxing.... and, for me, there is no such thing as relaxing at home.... unless I'm with someone else doing something, I always end up going back to working on something..... which wears you out. I dont like being idle.... which is another blessing and curse all at the same time. I just can't relax.... Maybe this is why I feel so much better when I am in a relationship.... being able to cuddle up with a special girl and watch a movie or something like that is the best way that I have ever relaxed.... I dont date someone that I dont care about so as a result of that care for her, she becomes important to me and time with her is important and is precious. No, I don't need a girlfriend... and I really have adjusted to that frame of mind.... but it is something I desire and I'm pretty sure whenever God shows me that special girl, things will be alot easier and more exciting for me. Sure, I've made my mistakes in relationships and I'm sure I will again.... but this is life... maybe I've destroyed some.... maybe the other person destroyed some... it doesnt matter. What ended was for a reason no matter why it ended. There is a special girl out there for me and I'm looking forward to the time that I meet her (or realize who it is if I already know her).... but for now, I just want to hang out with friends... I want to be able to sit and talk with people.... It's always been an important thing to me that a relationship be built on friendship.... So to get to the relationship, I need to build a friendship anyway.... but just because I'm building a friendship, doesnt mean that I feel that person is the one... it's just because I want a friendship with someone who seems to compliment my life. I know there are a few people that still remain that care about me.... I'm sorry for the pain I'm causing you. I'm really trying hard...... And to all my friends and relatives that I havent had a chance to help with computer issues and such, I am really sorry... I'm trying hard with that too. I know I'm creating alot of pain to some people right now.... please be paitient with me. I'm a diamond in the rough.... I'm not the Potter but the clay.... if you think something is wrong with who I am, please ask the Potter to adjust me. (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Another step towards securing our nation from terrorism.... and even bigger step towards getting rid of our privacy once and for all. I really never even remotely thought I would be on the democrat's side but I'm really starting to think we'd be safer (note: I didnt say safe) if Kerry was in office.

Today wasnt too bad... Well, church was awesome as always. I was kind of out of it at lunch tho. Elisa and I had a good conversation and that was nice.... I'm not doing so well in groups right now... I like one-on-one conversations because most of what I have on my mind right now isnt something I'm comfortable talking about in a group.... And its not even the people.... There may be 3 people I'd like to talk to about this stuff but if its those 3 and me in a room, I still won't say anything. It's just really hard for me because my friends dont really want to hang out with just me ... they say they just prefer being in groups but I dont know if its so much a preference as maybe they just dont want me spilling my guts to them.... *shrug* ... I really thank God for New Life tho.... For the first time I really feel like I'm appriciated.... and its not just a feeling... I know that I am. Thats better than any salary you could give me. Right now I think if it wasnt for me helping out New Life, I wouldnt be holding together too well. The only thing keeping me going is knowing that I am appriciated.... this isnt something that I've felt too much in my life.... I usually feel like I'm just being used and once I've accomplished what was asked of me, the relationship ends.... New Life isnt like that.... They really are an amazing group of people and they really do appriciate me.... It feels good to feel like your worth something to someone. It especially feels good with all of the crap that I have taken from bosses and girls in the past two years. (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |
There's a place that I sing new songs of praise Dancin' with my Father God in fields of grace There's a place that I lose myself within There's a place that I find myself again Dancin' with my Father God in fields of grace There's a place where religion finally dies There's a place that I lose my selfish pride Dancin with my Father God in fields of grace I love my Father, my Father loves me I dance for my Father, my Father sings over me And nothing can take that away from me "Fields of Grace" by Big Daddy Weave (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Right now I'm at Becca's birthday party. I'm kind of just sitting and watching everyone. I'm watching and feeling excited because the way everyone just let's lose and have fun. These people help make up the greatest church in the world. And what makes me happy is this attitude is what I always wanted to find in a church. Also watching my pastor and his wife interact with their kids, especially their 3 year old, just makes me smile. I long for the time I have my own kids to care for. This is how I know I'm not completly emotionally numb...... The problem is I don't feel excitement like I used to. I don't even feel sadness like I used to. Right now I know I'm emotionally in pain, but I don't really feel it. People ask me how I am doing and I don't know how to answer. The anti-social thing is scaring me too.... And the worst of all is that being in big groups right now is killing me but everyone around me hates hanging out one-on-one..... So I try to adapt but I clam up and just make things worse. This has been progressing for a while and now I'm shy around people I'm close to. I overcame feeling this way years ago but now I'm falling back into it. I'm affraid of people hurting me because I've been hurt too much already.... But ill try again and the guess what.... I get hurt. Then this cycle turns into me hurting others..... I push them away... No one wants to be around me at all... And alongside that, I don't want to be around them either because ill just bring them down. (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

On a snow white Christmas Eve Going home to see her Mama and her Daddy with the baby in the backseat Fifty miles to go and she was running low on faith and gasoline It been a long hard year She had a lot on her mind and she didn't pay attention She was going way to fast Before she knew it she was spinning on a thin black sheet of glass She saw both their lives flash before her eyes She didn't even have time to cry She was sooo scared She threw her hands up in the air Jesus take the wheel Take it from my hands Cause I can't do this all on my own I'm letting go So give me one more chance To save me from this road I'm on Jesus take the wheel It was still getting colder when she made it to the shoulder And the car came to a stop She cried when she saw that baby in the backseat sleeping like a rock And for the first time in a long time She bowed her head to pray She said I'm sorry for the way I've been living my life I know I've got to change So from now on tonight Jesus take the wheel Take it from my hands Cause I can't do this all my own I'm letting go So give me one more chance To save me from this road I'm on Oh, Jesus take the wheel Oh, I'm letting go So give me one more chance Save me from this road I'm on From this road I'm on Jesus take the wheel Oh, take it, take it from me Oh, why, oh "Jesus Take the Wheel" by Carrie Underwood (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

Genesis 2:19 ... In this passage Adam names all of the birds and the beasts of the earth.... but there is no menion of those in the seas. I think this is rather interesting because it hasnt been until recently that we have been unlocking the wonders that lie beneath the waters. We are finding more and more amazing creatures.... creatures that boggle our minds. What is so special about them? Why does it seem as tho God has saved those creatures to be revealed to us in today's age? I dont have an answer.... this is just something that occured to me. Any thoughts?

Can’t you see what this pain has f___ing done to me? I’m alive and still kickin’. What you see I can’t see... And maybe you’ll think before you speak. I’m alive for you. I’m awake because of you. I’m alive I told you. I’m awake swallowing you. Take another second. Turn your back on me... And make believe that you’re always happy. It’s safe to say you’re never (alive)<- that word is supposed to be have! A big part of you has died. And by the way... I hope you’re satisfied. Tearing it back unveiling me.

Most people look at who they are and they can look back over their lives from the time they were kids at the positive things that made them who they are. Its never been a secret that I'm a very different person, but its really occured to me that my life was full of alot of negatives which is why I am who I am today. This isnt meant to mean that I've had a life with no positives at all. In fact, the biggest impact in my life that produces my two biggest goals/values in life (unity and opposition to persecurition, specficially homosexuals) was very positive: Living in Florida for 4 months and working for Disney.... Unless, of course, you count all of the opposition I had regarding that move and the "I told you so"'s when I got back.... But the thing is, I am who I am because of the negatives. Many people find things that dont look so great and then later they realize they are great. My attitude is always "innocent until proven guilty" ... If I meet someone, they arent negative until it is proven..... and this is actually the source of a lot of my pain. The thing is that I look at everything as a positive until it turns negative and in almost all situations, it turned into a negative. Odder still are the things that were logically negatives that turned out to be the best decissions (dropping out of higher school, for example). Think of the huge things that have occured in my life. The people that have been in my life... the opposition that I faced. Look at the girls that I have dated that were really great relationships that turned into complete disaster (amber, kendra, tanya, tiff, etc -- one exclusion being I met Eli out of dating Tanya and that WAS a positive). All of these relationships were completely negative in the end.... even tho many of them were looked at by me, as well as others, as really great relationships. Look at jobs.... the disasters that struck at export moose, b4futures, helicon, computer connections, eicomm, carpathia, etc. There were some positive things that came out of those but the overall results were disasterous... Look at what I went through as a member of CFC. Most dont know the story about when I was brought before the missions board and was completely attacked and told that I was not worthy to serve God on a missions trip..... I've had a life full of negatives to make me who I am.... which is probably why I'm an awkward person. Everyone faces negatives but most can look at the positives in their lives that developed them into who they were. I, on the other hand, was developed into who I am today by a string of negative events with a few positives -- the exact opposite of most people. Not that I would change any of that..... but I guess what needs to be said here is that I am built on a totally different foundation than almost all other people. And I also have to say that I feel very blessed that I am who I am. Most people who are built on a foundation of negatives turn out to be not-so-good people. In that aspect, I guess that I am a miracle. The one problem with this is I dont know where I am today. Am I to expect more negatives to occur to produce me into a better person or am I at a point where positives will begin happening. Working at New Life is absolutely incredible. Tho I faced some very hard persecution with some changes I made with email and probably will face more of that in the future as I move New Life into a new position technologically, I have some key people that are really encouraging me and they are constantly thanking me. And I also dont feel that this "persecution" was something target towards me.... many people cant see the good on the other end of making some minor adjustments so they think the changes are stupid. I dont take any of that as something against me..... but the thing is, I really believe that I am appriciated. But in other aspects... where am I? Working for MFC is awesome and I'm enjoying it.... but others are attacking me by other means to try to make this relationship misserable for me. They havent succeded yet.... but I assume they will keep trying. I dont give up easily and won't give up in this scenario either. To those that are attacking me I guess I only have to say this: Bring it on! Look above and you will see that the more negative that is brough on me, the better of a person I become. Sure your words and actions may sting me but in the end, you lose. Working for MFC is great and I will hold on to that. It works out really really well and I'm not going to let go easily. The one other aspect is friendships. This is becomming a very hard area for me. I, again, am starting to feel like an extreme outcast. I'm the person that is told they are a friend but yet never gets invited anywhere.... I'm the friend that is the least important... if you make plans with me, it is completely acceptable to break them when someone else has a better option. It is hard for me to do all that it is I do without being able to relax with friends. Whats worse is feeling like you are no one in the eyes of your friends. Friendship is something that I view as sacred.... and friendship involves fighting for just that. Friendship does not mean that you rush in and try to save your friend when they are down.... friendship is sharing in the great moments of his or her life. Friendship isnt something that exsists only when it is convient..... I guess the same is true inside relationships as well. I try my hardest to be there for my friends in good and bad scenarios.... I'm not perfect, the same as everyone else.... but attitude is a huge thing. Its not hard to see where someone's heart is.... and what scares me is that I'm not seeing any room for me inside of my friend's hearts. This is hard on me and has created a real struggle for me. If you told me that my friends didnt care about me, I would tell you that you were wrong.... but if you told me that I wasnt important to my friends, then I might have to agree with you. This is a hard place for me to be.... and it's actually where I have been my whole life it seems. Aside from a few key friends like Matt Shafer and Steve McGuire, I'm always left to question where I stand in the eyes of my friends. (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |
Last night I was not feeling good at all.... went to bed around 9:30pm and woke up at 5:30pm..... and I'm still not feeling real good. I'm really not sure whats going on with me.... it's like this on again, off again thing as far as being sick. I felt horrible Saturday night last week, was fine Monday.... now I was sick last night, still sick today.... even going back a few weeks is the same thing.... I just seem to get real sick for a day or two and then I'm better for a week.... and the same thing happens again. There has been alot of stress on me so I dont know whether to account this to that. Alot of hurt feeling and alot of things that I dont really want to have to go through.... but they dont neccesarily line up at the same times I'm sick.... although that doesnt neccesarily mean thats not the problem. Don't really know what to think..... just could use some prayers. (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

This is what love is.... Its pushing on when things are rough. We, as humans, were created in His own image and it is His desire that we mock Him in our lives.... The way we do things should be what Jesus would do. Those bracelets that were popular 5 years ago were so refreshing.... But they became the thing to wear. It wasn't taking a risk anymore because WWJD was just something to wear. All of a sudden, it meant nothing. What is true love? Its not giving up. We see so many failed marriages now.... This is the result of discomfort and struggles.... And we blame God! Are you kidding me? These troubles are a blessing..... When we have struggles and we want to give up, its then that the other person really loves us. If we or they give up, then where was the love? A romantic relationship should be followed after the example that God gave us. People are so easy to give up now... On people and their dreams. God wants people who mean business..... And I want to find a girl who means business as well. People say God doesn't tell us how to handle situations but His life is an example in almost all situations.

There used to be a saying that everyone said up at Computer Connections.... "No good deed goes unpunished" .... and as stupid as it sounds, its unfortunately true. The nicer that you are to people, the more they abuse you.... I was born about 50 years too late I guess.... I trust people so much and I always get walked all over because of it. Everyone is out to get everyone... and it's sad. I'm not nice to people to get anything out of it ... I'm nice to people because I want to be nice... It would be a bonus tho if someone would actually appriciate it and actually respect the fact that I am holding true to my word instead of trying to corner me by making stuff up. I'm finishing up here at the data center and looking forward to grabbing something to eat on the way home and just relaxing for a little bit..... (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

SunBelt Software - CounterSpy For those of you that are techies, you may remember the Giant Anti-Spyware product. This was quickly becomming the best program to use for spyware protection.... Microsoft quickly bought that company out and re-branded that software as "Windows Defender" (aka Microsoft Anti-Spyware). With this, of course, they watered down alot of the threats because some of the companies that are threats are also Microsoft's Customers and Partners.... The interesting thing is that SunBelt Software was working with Giant on this software package so the system is actually their property as well. Microsoft and Sunbelt have seperated ways but this CounterSpy program is 100% what Giant Anti-Spyware was without the watered down results Microsoft is adding to their version of the program.

OK, so you are richer than you were yesterday. But keep in mind the following... 1. That you have signed with a team that is already set in the wide reciever position and will probablly run you as a ..3 guy 2. That you have signed with a team that has an owner that puts more value in buying big name flashy players than investing in guys that bleed and sweat from a genuine love for the game 3. That you will be pawning your superbowl ring as soon as Dan Snyder finds someone else with a flashier name and even Al Davis doesn't know who you are. 4. That you were one one of the ONLY NFL teams that complimented your style of play and made you look at your best. 5. That instead of 80,000 screaming fans waving Terrible Towels and cheering you onto the field, you now have to look at a bunch of fat guys in dresses wearing pig noses. 6. That occasionally getting into the playoffs stems only as a result of being in a division that is consistantly mediocre and is only good enough to not lose as much as the other teams and eventually has to play an AFC team. 7. That Washigton DC has the highest crime rate per capita and tripled the crime rate compared to that in the Burgh. 8. That Lavar Arrington just actually forfieted money to be able to leave Washigton to go to a team that will not sit you on the pines because of personal off-field politics. 9. That words like "superbowl", "parade", "Lombardi" and "champion" will be forever restricted from your volabulary and replaced by words such as "overpaid", "overrated", "dead-weight" and "downgraded" 10. And finally, that you were a millionaire regardless of what city or team you play for (C)2003-2008, Bob K Mertz - Some Rights Reserved |

And so starts another day.... I'm feeling alot better both emotionally and physically. Still have a bit of a sore throat but I can deal with that. Alot of the things that were really bugging me over the weekend have been resolved.... Wish I could have made church yesterday but I was so sick yesterday morning I couldnt even stand up..... And I'm going to miss my life group tomorrow night since I'll be in PA..... but at least it'll be nice to visit PA.... Maybe I'll get to see Eli! Well, everyone.... have a great week! :) |
