Utpå høsten....

Nå som det lir mot hvite dager, blir det også naturlig nok kaldere og kaldere. Ikke at det gjør noe, er vel heller bare glad til, da jeg ikke er noe til høstmenneske (er vel heller å regne for en sommer som vinter skapning, noe jeg sikkert har ytret tidligere...). Så har jeg nettopp vært i Danmark en tur, på ungdomstreff, noe jeg regner som en god bruk av helga:)
Så et spørsmål: Har vi egentlig kontakt med Gud når vi ber, eller er det bare en samtale med ditt eget hode?* Tenk på den...Et annet spørsmål er hva vi gjør mot vår neste, det være sett at Gud har tilgitt oss så mye...hvor mye burde ikke da vi tilgi hverandre?
La Gud skinne gjennom deg;) Og oppfør dere pent:P**


*Takk til Stian for interessant tanke...
**Ja, Markus...den kommentaren har satt seg fast....

Et liv i nåde...

Siden jeg ikke hadde noe annet å ta meg til i går(*ingenting planlagt for i går forut for i går), bestemte jeg meg for å besøke et par av Oslos mange og ulike kirker. I Citykirken snakket Thomas Aaleskjær om nåde. Dette begrepet har nok gått mange hus forbi, mens andre ikke har interesse av det, da de ikke føler noe behov. Men essensen i nåden er at du er fri fra fordømmelse, du er ok. Dermed kan man være fri til å innrømme å ha gjort dumme ting og be om tilgivelse, i visshet om at man er akseptert. Så kan man prøve igjen med blanke ark, og arbeide for å gjøre tin bedre neste gang.
Forøvrig vil jeg anbefale Storsalen, prøv den ut;)

Så har jeg hatt leseuke, og er i alle fall litt fornøyd med meg selv og mine tre kapitler lest(det skal sies at dette tilsvarer 170 sider pensum, hvor mye eller lite det høres ut(sola?)). Jeg er i gang i det minste!!
Så er det blitt oktober og høst(kaldt), og t-skjorte under skinnjakke begynner å bli for kaldt(huff, takke meg til 40 C/%luftfuktighet...nesten...neida, heia norge:/). Vi gleder oss uansett til vinteren og uante mengder snø(ja, nettopp uante i disse globaloppvarmede tider...), håper alltid dette års vinter blir bedre enn i fjor. Om ikke annet, får man besøke Landåshalvannenmetersnøbygda oftere, når abstinensene etter krystallisert vann trenger på i den slapsete sørpeoslotilværelsen en fort kan finne seg selv i. Huskeregel; Oktober er ikke = jul...
Nærmer seg forøvrig innflyttingsfest(nesten 2 mnd etter innflytting;P), noe som medfører full leilighet stablet i høyden, kanskje bokstavelig talt hæla i taket(hvis det ikke er plass til dem andre steder), vi ønsker velkommen;)
Oppfør dere pent, som Markus ville sagt...

50 år....eller ikke fullt så lenge..?

Så var Tyrifjords 50 årige tilstedeværelse feiret og markert, og lykke til med 50 nye...om verden står så lenge!?
50 år er ganske lenge, hele Hogne Hogganviks liv for eksempel. Videre er det et halvt århundre, 25x2 år, fem tiår++, i det hele tatt en god stund, spør du meg... Så tenker jeg på Gud og tid, eller Gud og ikke tid, da det vel strengt tatt ikke eksisterer noe tid for Gud når du tenker deg om? Om Gud er allmektig, er han vel heller ikke begrenset av tid slik som vi er? Likevel kan han ikke gå tilbake i tiden som vi er fanget av og forandre på ting, eller gjør han det...Ikke godt å si, men antakelig ikke..tror jeg.
Uansett...høsten kommer, med sine kalde dager, vakre farger og snart kommer det snø...eller kanskje ikke helt snart da....men om ikke så altfor lenge, sammenlignet med 50 år;P

Blanke ark....

Skinndød er ordet... For den var ikke helt død, og plutselig er den i live igjen!?
Bloggen lever altså igjen, etter å ha ligget død i over et år, skammelig må jeg si,menmen...
Må vel innrømme at det er noe gruppementalitetisk over min beslutning om å gjenopplive bloggen min, men den er i det minste aktiv igjen, hvor flokkdyrisk jeg enn måtte være:/
Min innvendig mørke bror uttrykte sine frustrajoner over lite orden på livet, sånn mer eller mindre i alle fall. Orden er et vidt begrep, så la meg utdype:
Orden kan for det første innebære at ting er der de skal være, eller på sin rettmessige plass.
Videre kan det bety at man vet hvor tingene er, ikke nødvendigvis fordi de er der de skal være, men fordi du vet hvor du har dem.
Så apropo orden på livet; Jeg har et håp om at jeg fysisk er der jeg skal være, men dette kan fort forandre seg. Jeg vet hvor jeg har Gud, samtidig som jeg ikke føler at jeg er der jeg skal være i forhold til Ham. Jeg tror videre Gud vet hvor han vil ha meg, men jeg vet ikke hvor, bortsett fra at det trengs en justering eller to fra der jeg er nå til der jeg tror Gud vil jeg skal være som jeg innerst inne ønsker å være selv også...
Fra åndelige justeringer til andre deler av livet, har vi nettopp begynt med rollespill på studiet, noe som er særdeles lærerikt og spennende, samt skummelt. Å skulle hjelpe mennesker som har opplevd ting jeg ikke har vært i nærheten av eller fatter hverken dybden eller bredden av, hvorenn skuespill det foreløpig måtte være, det er ærlig talt litt overveldende/maktesløshetsfremkallende/føleseglitenfremkallende, you pick three...
Godt er det likevel å høre læreren si at det viktigste er å møte menneskene på en åpen og vennlig måte, med et oppriktig ønske om å hjelpe, vanskelig eller ikke...liten trøst i alle fall.
Forhåpentligvis mildnes skummelheten etter hvert!(?)
Life is good anyways, however messy sometimes
Sola skinner*gliiis*
Det er kos å være gift;)

So we're getting close to summer...

so finally, after a couple of weeks of reading, I'm over and done with my psychology exam, and it is a relief, though I have no clue whether I'll pass or fail...
Anyhow, I'll be working this summer, both for a youth department and in Tusenfryd, a family park near by Oslo. The days are very much just passing by now a days, kinda waiting for the summer to hit in, and not doing much, but it i somewhat ok too, cause the last few weeks has been endless...
I am by the way looking forward to this fall, starting a new school, with new challenges, new people and new experiences. So if I fail to publish, have a nice summer and God bless:)

Vacation and concideration...

So we drove for quite a few hours, and there we were, far into the depths of the Geiranger fjord, in a nice little park in a nice little cottage to spend a nice little easter vacation...
And it vas really a relaxing and quiet one, with to much eating, a little physical activity, like walking and skiing, and a whole lot of relaxation. But now that we're about to start a new week and the last lap before exams and stuff, I stop up and think...why do we celebrate easter, vith candy easter rabbits and all that? I figura as much as it's just like christmas, when its all about presents and santa... But they are both really about something waaaay different....
Strange thing how we end up focusing on something stupid instead of what it's really all about...
We should really celebrate christmas because God gave us his only beloved son as a gift, the greatest gift av all times, so that we, who had chosen him away, could learn from his son how to live with love for eachother...Heavens way of living!
And so we come forth to easter, where Jesus, Gods son takes the punishment for sin on inself and dies so that we can live eternally if we believe, repent and choses to live like they do in the heavenly kingdom...with love for eachother.
For God did not want to be separated from us in the first place, but we chose to follow Satans deciet, and wandered into selfish ways of living that God himself in his endless love knew would eventually just end itself, something of which He plans to save his people from before it happens. Because if we had not chosen to do against Gods rules of love, man would still live in the heavenly earth that it was meant to be wen created...
Still, we have a saviour in Jesus, because he died innocent for our mistakes and cruel doings, and by him we can have eternal life if we believe. And when we again truly seek to live by Gods love, the heavenly kingdom will again come forth and we will have peace...
So Love thy God, live by his rules of love, and remember that we are all children of God and deserves to be loved no matter what we have done!
May God bless y'all and lead you to him and to live with love for eachother...

Around again...

So we've finished another round and in the beginning of a new one, and we can all start with blanc sheets and new colours. It's good to start over again, new chances, new opportunities and possibilities...
So this semester, I have decided to check out psychology, which I believe is going to be very interesting, but also maybe so interesting that it will go slow with the reading...
But let's not worry, its just something I study to develop my own mind and grip of things and all... to understand many things better, I guess:)
So I hope it'll be a good halfyear, I'll make it a good halfyear!
But anyways...bless y'all, and take care of yourselves and your beloved ones...I know I'll try:)

Just a wish...

So now we finally reached christmas, and it is good to have vacation! Have you by the way thought about why we celebrate it at all? 2000 years ago christ died for us!
God loves us, and he knows better than anyone what is good for us. and he loves us so much that when we do something he knows is bad for us, he gets so sad he can't watch. That is why he can't stand sin. And because he cant stand it, he has set up the punishment for those who do bad stuff, death. In earlier times, people killed an innocent lamb to pay off the bad stuff they did, but then Jesus came along and died for all humanity, which means that if we accept that, we live! When he died, there also were no longer need for an innocent offer, because Jesus had made an offer that will last eternally. So when we see that we should have listened to what God adviced us to do, and ask him to forgive us, he forgets all about it! Still, there is consequences for doing something wrong, and we must take them. But when we come to God and pray him to forgive us, he wil. So read the Bible and find out what is Gods good advices for us. Have a menny Christmas and walk in Gods peace!

Here we go...

So I've been going on the last month, reading and reading, with some breaks in the weekends. But this weekend was more special than the rest...
My girlfriend and I had been down to her parents house to celebrate thanksgiving, which was very nice, and so we went bck up to Oslo, to celebrate the two of us being together for two years... And so after having been to church on saturday, we went out in the evening...
She did not know about anything we were to do, except that there were three surprises.
The first one was a comicshow called The Fast Show, and it was really something;) And so we went to eat at a really nice resturant called Egon...
So after a good night out, we went back and made dessert before we watched a movie and had it afterwards...that's when the third surprise came, where I knelt down and asked her to marry me...
And guess what: we are engaged:D
So thats it for now...take care;)

Fall is here...

So then it has become fall, and soon, I hope, it will be winter! Can barely wait to go skiing, and have fun in the snow!! Still, it is some time in the future...haven't seen a snowcrystall yet...
But anyways, life is good, and it will be exiting to see what the future will bring!
Have a good autumn everybody;)

Just thought I'd show you a picture of me and my dear girl:)

Oslo...

Well, so now I started my studies in the "tigercity" as they call it...
And its quite okay...with some exeptions thought...But let me first tell about whats good...
I go to the university, Blindern, and there I'm studying sociology, which is by the way the study of humans in society...I walk around thinking of changing subject, cause the study is interresting, but it doesn't lead to the kind of job that I want...so I think about sosionom or something like that...But apart from that, it is much good about studying at blindern; many nice folks, skilled personell, and nice facilities... so school is nice:)
so over to other things about living in Oslo, I live at a place called Kurbadet, owned by the adventists, and there I have my own room, and share kitchen and bathroom with some others. It's quite ok, but the place is located in the middle of a whole lot of churches, so every sunday, you get woken up at half past nine by the bells, and then they go on for most of the day, so you'll never get to sleep again....luckily I'm only in Oslo half of all weekends...;)
Another thing is that I try to save as much as I can of my loan, so that it doesn't get too big, but that is not very easy, thinking of how expensive it is to live here in the city! so that's another bad thing...and yet another is that I only see my dear girlfriend in the weekends...miss having her around as I used to, but it's probably just healthy not to be around eachother all the time...so we can see if the love stays strong...and so it has so far:)
So I'm going away the next three weeks; first my brother is having two parties for his 18th birthday, and so my girlfriends parents are rounding 50, and I'm coming down to the south of Norway to celebrate them...and so, it is the exam...
But anyways, that's how life is nowadays... so take care, all you who read this, and may God bless y'all:)

Summertaaaaaaaaaaim.....

And so it is summer... and what have we done... Lets see:
It all started with the familycamp, I guess. And we had a great deal of fun there, lots of cool people, and fun activities. Hard work too, but thats just a little work out, since I haven'r been able to work out much the rest of the summer...
After that, it was Prosess, and it's the best one so far; good music(praise) good speetches and good food, and not the least, good fellowship.
And so it was a week of vacation, where we celebrated Dinas birthday, an me and Vårin went to Horten, where I used to live. It was by the way very nice;) Love u girl:P
And now I've just come back from Denmark, where it was a scout camporee with 3000 people. Fun, warm but wet is the keywords. And I have now entered into the 20's a couple of days ago, and it feels quite good!
Moving to Oslo am I also, kinda exited, it'll be an interesting experience:)
Well well, take care then, God bless, and have a still very nice summer...
Its not over just yet!!

Grey weather...

Well...I'll break it to you right away...:I hate grey weather!!!
It kinda makes me in a bad mode, though it might not be seen outside of me...
But it does, and now I walk around hoping it will clear up soon...
Its like it makes a little mist, which does not disappear until the sun appears, which I by the way love very much.
Thankfully though, I still got sunshine in my heart, cause the biggest and brightest shining sun in my life shines on my face everytime she smiles...
Thank you for every smile, my dear....

Hey everybody...

Well, her I am again, better late than never? Or better never than so late?
Anyway, I thougt I'd just give you all something to think about:
Why does Otto Jespersen dare to burn the Bible, but not the muslims book Koranen???
And why is our holy book less holy than theirs?? We dont go and kill people because of what he did??
Think about it and leave a comment....

jajajajajajajajajaja!!!!

Life is good....just wanned to let that out...
I think my life is very good tight now....just everything thats happening!
Thank you God!!

Happy new year everyone!!!

Well, now we've just started a brand new year with new possibilities, more joy, happiness, sadness, fun, work, dissapointments, victories, defeats and love not the least. (sorry I didn't mention everything wich will come with the new day...)
Anyway, I still got a girlfriend, I still play drums, I still live at home, I still work as a sivilworker, I'm still a chistian and I have still got so many things to be happy for!!!!

One day I read a story sent to me over mail by a friend, and It was really something,
read this story and give it a thought:

At a certain college, there was a professor with a reputation for being tough on Christians.
In the first class every semester, he asked if anyone was a Christian and proceeded to degrade and make fun of their belief.
One semester, he asked the question and young man raised his hand when asked if anyone was a Christian. The professor asked "Did God make everything, young man?" "Yes he did sir," the young man replied. The professor responded, "If God made everything, then God made evil, and if we can only create from within ourselves, then God is evil. "The student didn't have a response and the professor was happy to have once again proved the Christian faith to be a myth. Then another man raised his hand and asked "May I ask you something, sir?" "Yes you may," responded the professor. The young man stood up and said "Sir, is there such thing as cold?" "Of course there is, what kind of a question is that? Haven't you ever been cold?"
The young man replied, "Actually, sir, cold does not exist. What we consider to be cold, is really only the absence of heat. Absolute zero is when there is absolutely no heat, but cold does not really exist. We have only created that term to describe how we feel when heat is not there."
The young man continued "Sir, is there such thing as dark?" Once again, professor responded "Of course there is." And once again, the student replied "Actually sir, darkness does not exist. Darkness is really only the absence of light. Darkness is only a term man developed to describe what happens when there is no light present." Finally, the young man asked "Sir, is there such thing as evil?" The professor responded "Of course, we have rapes, and murders and violence everywhere in the world, those things are evil." The student replied "Actually, sir, evil does not exist. Evil is simply the absence of God. Evil is a term man developed to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. It isn't like truth, or love, which exist as virtues like heat and light. Evil is simply the state where God is not present, like cold without heat or darkness without light." And the professor had nothing to say.
Have a day filled with light, warmth and the presence of God!

Long time no see....again!!

Well well... A lot of time has passed by, and I havn't thought of writing for a long time.
But, finally, I got myself together, and here I'm sitting!!
So, now me and my girlfriend have been together for a whole year, not bad!! Time sure passes quickly. but apart from that, I've been down in Mandal visiting my girlfriend and her family this weekend, really nice and more relaxing than ever before. Dont recon we have relaxed som much together ever...!
So now I am back from there, by the way; we had a really nice bustrip home from there, didn't notice the time, almost! So life is still good, few things to complain about, and nothing to complain about at all compared to most people in the world...
Think about how lucky you are compared to many others who for example live on a hand of rice per day, or doesn't have clean water to drink, or are being abused, tortured, beaten, and persued...
If you read this, you have access to a computer, and that is something that only one out of at least houndred do have!
But up in all this, do you know that you have someone that loves you? Someone that loves you more than you could ever imagine??
Jesus is that person, he died for you, so you could go to heaven!!!
He created you, and alle the wrong things you have done; lying, stealing, mocking others, calling them bad things, hurting others feelings...all that, he has forgiven you for!! You just have to accept his forgiveness, and say you're sorry to the people you hurt!
If you do that, he will give you peace!
Live as close as you can to hoe Jesus lived (read in the Bible) and you will find that it is a good life!! May God bless you and keep you, may the Lord cause His face to shine upon you, and give you peace!!
Good luck!!

Well, well

So now my girlfriend is back from the states, Im happyhappyhappy!!
Also my friend Håkon got his driverslicense on friday, and if you new him, you would know how he has aicked after getting it!!!
Thats it for now, take care!!

So here I am again...

So now I've been too busy to write lately, so I'm gonna be good just today!
Played a lot lately, don't mind at all, it's really fun, and I get to do something for God.
So tomorrow my love is coming back from the states, cant wait to see her!!
Well, life is good, and I am still highly alive!!!
peace out!!
