  • A lesson in gratitude

    Sunday, I was performing street magic at the Pecan Street Festival in Austin. This was in conjunction with the Doc Seaton Magic Side Show. This was also my first time performing street magic. I had just finished a set, when a lady came up to me and said I was the best magician she had seen all day. Then she gave me a 10 cent tip. (two nickels). I smiled and thanked her. Later, I was tell this story to some friends and we were all laughing about how I was the best but only worth 10 cents. Then all of a sudden my friend Ray Anderson stops laughing and say, “That may have been a lot of money to her.”

    My mind immediately went to the story in the bible where Jesus commented that the window who gave only two small coins had given more than all the rich people. They gave out of their surplus and she gave out of her poverty.

    Thanks Ray for putting this in the proper context for me.

  • The End of the World – And the Church Does Nothing!

    I find it amazing that the end of the world is being prophecies once again and the Church has no response. Throughout history there have been countless predictions of the end of the world and other false prophecies and the church responds with yawn.

    Harold Camping Website

    Christ stated even he did not know when the end was coming. Yet Harold Camping claims to know. Is he claiming to be greater than Christ himself? His website’s  front page as of 18:00 May 21 state “‘…blow the trumpet … warn the people’ Ezekiel 33:3 Judgement Day May 21, 2011 The bible guarantees it!” It guarantees it?

    Attributing a prophecy to God, which is not His, is considered very serious in scripture. But the church today treats these as mere annoyances or simply ignores it all together.

    This is the second false prophecy for the end of the world by Harold Camping. The first was 1992. Yet I am sure he will have some reason why he gone it wrong, again. Regardless of the reason, he was wrong and therefore is a false prophet.

    I am sure he will continue to receive donations, gifts and other financial support. How can anyone, who calls themselves a Christian, support this blasphemy and others like it financially or in any other way.  The church needs to be the church and stand up again this deformation of the character of God.
