Enbeesea

By Ryan, August 6, 2006

Two of my favorite things in the world are coming together again tonight... Sunday nights and NFL football. How awesome is that?

There is a catch, though. My brother (Tyler) and I both like the networks that carry the NFL because of their graphics. When we found out that NBC is doing the NFL again this year, we were both upset. NBC carried a few college football games last year, and we both hated the graphics. But, after looking at the NBC website I started to change my mind.

It looks like awesome 3-D metal... I hope that what I saw on the website reflects what I’ll see on TV. And that leads me into my point.

How many times are we deceived by what we see? Or, even better, how many times do we try to deceive others by what we show? Everyone has heard the old cliché... “You can talk the talk, but can you walk the walk?” I have, like, 10 Christian t-shirts in my closet. I can wear them and people will know that I am a Christian, but will they know what a Christian is? If I wear a shirt that says “My Invisible Friend created me,” will people come up to me asking how they can become like God? Doubtful. I could cuss someone out while advertising God... we all know that type of behavior wouldn’t evangelise anyone. (And if you think it would, I’d like to hear how.) The other cliché that we all hear is that actions speak louder than words. I know that everything I’ve just said is probably just old news to the audience that usually visits this website, but it can’t be reiterated enough.

 Ryan:

I think I will comment here just because nobody else has... ;o)

 Ryan:

I'll tell you what... after you being at my house today, I'll never look at a Cheez-It box the same way again.

Nice new background image on the right side of the page, by the way.

 Ryan:

Internet Explorer 7 has tabs!

Those little word verification things are annoying!

I don't like being hit in the head with footbags.

Or pillows.

Or Cheez-It boxes.

Or 11-year-olds.

 Dustinthewinddude:

Tabs? That's so February, 2006. Look for more RSS innovation to start rocking the browser world.

Good thoughts Ryan. I think it's all about getting the outside to match the inside. If we really believe what the Bible says about us being new creations (old passed away, all is new... and all that jazz) then we'll strive to have our outside (body, behaviors, attitudes, etc.) reflect the transformed nature within us.

From your uncle Dustin (the parenthetical theologian)

 Ryan:

IE7 also has RSS.

 Dustman:

Yes, it "has" RSS. Just wait. You'll see things happening with RSS and you won't even know it's using RSS.

Trust me.

 Ryan:

Trust you??
This is the fourth comment you've left on my website... under the fourth alias.

Hmm...

At least the Maddenoliday stuff is cool (cuz that's relevant to this post.)
