Obviously there is a lot going on in the Middle East with the protests in Iran, constant wars and rumors of war concerning Israel, Russia making alliances with Islamic nations with their desire to make the final push South; it is hard to not believe that we are growing closer to the end times if we are not already engulfed in them presently.

As I watch the news today and read blogs and twitter messages I can constantly see the ways in which Israel and the Middle East has truly become the "Epicenter" in the sense that besides the occasional political reform or train wreck that makes the headlines, news in the middle east has become one of the primary focuses and all eyes have turned towards Israel. One particular blog that I highly recommend everyone read (regardless of your beliefs on Biblical Eschatology or the studies of the end of days) is Joel Rosenberg's weblog http://flashtrafficblog.wordpress.com/.

Today I had also watched an interview with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu where he discusses some of these issues regarding the news in the Middle East. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21134540/vp/31472770#31472770 Check out these links they're pretty interesting.

Missing, Hoping, Searching

So basically right now I am thinking about 3 things;
I miss my girlfriend who just yesterday (at a disgusting 3AM) left for S. Africa, I am hoping that this job that I'm applying for in Gig Harbor will pan out, and I am continually searching for more work, a deeper sense of content and a revival of a very important relationship.

So my girlfriend Jenn is basically the most amazing woman on the face of the planet and I already miss her and it hasn't even been a full day yet! I know, I know, it's pathetic but what can I say...I adore the woman! She wrote me a note for every day that she is gone which was very sweet but i'm tempted to jump ahead and open all of the letters haha. oh well i guess i'll live.

I've applied for this sick job down in Gig Harbor, WA as an Intern of middle school ministries for this church and after about a month or two they are finally starting to call my references...It's a sweet opportunity and an all out awesome package but i'm starting to get a little restless. Frustrations aside, I'm starting to look for other jobs as a backup...We'll see how it all goes.

So earlier I said that I was searching for a deeper sense of content and a revival of an important relationship; what I'm talking about is spiritual content and reviving my relationship with God. Yep, the "Big Guy" Himself. I just feel like i'm screwing the pooch and i'm looking to get out of it that's all. Life outside of my Spiritual life is amazing and I can't complain too much; but my relationship with God needs some work.

In other news... My back hurts and I need to catch some shut-eye so I'm out!
