Burlington, VT

Just took some pictures on my camera and noticed I never downloaded our pics from our trip to Vermont this past October. There are only a few because it rained the bulk of the weekend, but I am sharing them nevertheless. Click the picture to see the rest.

Spider-man 3 Trailer

Seeing as how the political post stirred up some emotions, I decided to post the trailer to the 2007 release of Spider-Man 3...calm us all down a little.

"The People Have Spoken"

Well the ballots have (basically) all been counted and the people have made their choices. Now I won't comment or gripe about the democrats "taking power" or anything along those line because that is the type of Nation we live in...one where people have the chance to choose their leaders. I respect that.

However, I just can't get over one election in my state (MA). Yesterday we voted for a new governor and Deval Patrick won pretty handily. He is a pretty slick looking character, being compared in ways to former President Clinton. What really blows my mind, though, is how he won despite two of his proposals. One of the obvious ones (though he would say it in governmentesse....'people have an obligation to help their state') is the raise in taxes. Most people know the nickname for MA is Taxachusetts, so its odd that people would be so eager to vote for a man who will more than likely raise them.

The second point really blows my (as well as numerous others) mind. Since 9/11 we have all had a heightened sense of security. Making sure we don't let just anyone into our country, protecting our borders, making it tougher in general. Patrick though is wanting to give "illegal immigrants" a license. I remember about one year ago, the news here did a special report on illegal immigrants having their license even though they don't know how to drive, transporting items and so on. People in this state were livid! And yet, a man who is basically cool with handing them out like Halloween candy wins the race for governor. To each their own.

And no, it isn't because this is a state run by Democrats...this is the first Democrat governor in MA is I believe 12 years.

But hey, at least we have an Texas Aggie running the show in the Pentagon now. That's what I'm talking about! GIG EM!

Happy Halloween

Just wanted to wish everyone a happy Halloween!

Although, today I was thinking, it is pretty funny that we let our children celebrate by allowing them to go to strangers homes and take candy from them while (all year round) we warn them to never talk to or take candy from strangers.
Ironic, no?

"Make like a tree and get out of here"

Screech trying to break away from Saved by the Bell by making a raunchy film - wrong and eww.

Biff (Tom Wilson) from Back to the Future embracing his typecast role and using it in his stand up comedian act - smart and very funny. The song answers all the questions he is normally asked. Enjoy!

Retrospective

Hard to believe for some because "it has felt longer" and hard to believe for us because "it seems like only a few months" but today marks the one year anniversary that we loaded up in the car and U-haul and made a three day journey across the eastern half of the United States to our new home in Massachusetts. Jen and I have been looking back over the past year and everything that led up to it and it always comes down to 'God is good'.

A lot of people thought us crazy, told us we were making a mistake and thought we'd be back when the house wouldn't sell or for some other reason. But God in His greatness found a buyer for our home two days after we arrived. He has given us a wonderful place to live, a great job, a church and church family, and friends. Being honest with ourselves, we couldn't think of a happier time in our marraige. Has it all been easy? Of course not, life never is. But God sees us through the tough times as well as the good. All the good and the provisions are nothing we have done on our own, but only through His grace and His mercy. As Paul so wonderfully stated, "To the glory of God the Father..."

Even in our one year here, so much has happened. Jennifer's switched departments at the hospital, my college and major have changed (though I didn't really have a choice in major at the first college I attended), our way of living and even ideas on life have been changed. We look forward to the future and what God has in store for us.

Some of the highlights from this year of course include all the family and my friend who have made their way out to see us, helping with a new start up church, all the amazing cities we saw on the trip out here, walking and playing in the snow, summer strolls to the ice cream shop, visits to fun and beautiful places (numerous trips to Newport RI, our 3rd anniversary in NH, white water rafting in ME and soon a trip to VT), my memorization of the Freedom Trail over the course of touring family during the summer, people acting like it was the end of the world when the temperate rose above 100 degrees (no joke, they had help centers...rookies), getting lost at Harvard Square, Superman Returns, getting schooled in pool at the Charlie Horse, finally seeing Les Miserables, an actual white Christmas, the Pour House in Boston, seeing the leaves change colors, One Night 2006, seeing the Fenway Park with my brother and sister, apple picking, student teaching and the list can go on and on...but I have school soon.

For some fun memories hop over to
Robert's (Old) Land to read the blogs I wrote during our move out here. I was actually pretty funny despite the fact that I had just driven over 12 hours everyday. There are also some more pictures if you head over to the old photo album. Of course there is the link to our current photo album on the left side bar.

In closing, I wanted to share a song that I had in my heart our entire trip out here and would say to God before going to bed each night. It's a song that I still find very appropriate.

"For all that you've done I will thank you. For all that you're going to do. For all that you promised and all that you are Lord is all that has carried me through. So Jesus, I thank you. And I thank you, thank you Lord. Thank you for loving and setting me free. Thank you for giving your life just for me. How I thank you. Jesus I thank you. Greatfully thank you. Thank you." (Thank You from Dennis Jernigan's Hands Lifted High)

BIRTHDAY

So today at 3:13 p.m. I turned the big 26. Thanks to everyone who sent nice emails/cards/phone calls/and comments on my various blogs, facebook, and myspace! It was a good birthday. I posted a few pictures over at yahoo. Click here to see them.

And Now I've Been to Boston in the Fall

Well as the title states, I have now gone to Boston in the fall. This was my first time back into the city since the great Summer 2006 Tours with my in-laws, my mom and then my sister and brother-in-law. I love going into Boston. Everytime I walk out of the station and see all the people bustling around, the beautiful buildings, and the energy I just think to myself, "Wow! I live in friggin Boston!" Classy I know, but I endorse honesty in Robert's Land. And if someone is with me, I generally say it aloud. Laugh because it's funny, cry because it's true.

Anyway, the trees in Boston were not quite as colorful as I had hoped yet. Probably because it is closer to the coast and thus they haven't turned as much as the ones in our town and further out
west. We took some pictures though of what we could. I added some from our palce as well. We might head to New Hampshire this weekend and will probably get some nice shots there that I will add to the album. Click on the picture to see the album or go through the link on the side bar titled "Boston in the Fall". This particular picture I obviously played with on photo shop. I think its cool, Jen thinks its creepy. So rock on and happy early Halloween.

Interesting side note and a first time incident for ol' Rob. While taking care of a call from nature, the person in the stall next to me must have either a) been blind or b) could have cared less and decided the best aim was my foot. No lie. For those who know me, you can image the different ways I sterilized my shoes when I got home...burning mostly. I believe I saw evil spirits rise out of the smoke.

See, these are the type of stories one will receive when I try to post every week (see previous blog). One last note, I added a new blog that I enjoy reading of a person who stops by Robert's Land from time to time. The link can be found on the side bar. Hope everyone had a good Columbus Day. Thanks Boston for taking every available holiday off.

Kneel before Rob! I mean Zod!

Oh wow! I managed to go over a month without posting, and you know what? It felt great. Sure, maybe not for you guys who came by everyday and saw the same ol' stuff. You might have said to yourself, "Robert said better quality blogs from now on and he hasn't posted anything!" Well, I lied. That's politics. I can't be impeached so get over it. Actually, I never promised quantity, just quality. Sometimes to make a high quality product, you have to wait a while for it. And in truth, trying to come up with something every week to talk about that is truly interesting, well it’s not easy.

Well my word. So much to report on here. Where to start? First, I am no longer subject to the confines of Boston Baptist College. There is a whole lot I could say here, but instead I will give a nice and brief version. I went to register on a Friday, found out I would only be able to take 12 hours, classes I needed in order to take other 'upper level' courses were unavailable, no information on when they would become available, and when I petitioned to take other courses I was told 'fat chance'. Throw in a few other items that I won't discuss and you have one unhappy guy. I came home, talked about it with my wife and family/friends. Prayed about it. Did some research. Marched into BBC the following Monday and withdrew. That day in itself is an interesting story, but not for Robert's Land. Immediately after this I drove down the road to Curry College and applied. By the grace of God, my transcripts came in on the last day of registration and I was accepted.

My major is now Education: CYC (Children, Youth and Community). God has been very good to me at Curry. I truly love all my classes. All are education courses except for one night class (science). I am even doing field placement in a Kindergarten class which I love. The kids are really smart and a blast to be around. I do that six hours a week. I should be done by the end of fall 2007 if courses are available when I need them. Either way I will graduate spring 2008...finally.

I can safely say though that I do not regret nor do I believe it was a mistake to go to BBC. I learned a lot there. Some academically, but mostly personal and of things in this world...some things I have always thought were confirmed, other things were new. I know God wanted me there for that semester, so I take the good with bad and will use it to the best of my ability.

Things are really beautiful here in New England. The leaves are really becoming radiant in all their bright colors. Last weekend we went apple picking with a woman Jennifer works with and her husband. It was a really good time. The apples were some of the tastiest I have eaten. Jen plans on making a pie with them tomorrow and we're having some friends over to play games and share it with us. We also picked raspberries and blueberries, but they some how vanished in two days.

We are heading to Vermont in a few weeks, though it is becoming cooler more quickly than expected this year so we may be greeted by snow when we arrive instead of foliage. Either way we'll have a fun time. Highs have been in the 60's with lows dipping some nights into the 40's. And for those who say "he'll be sorry when a blizzard comes...I wouldn't want to be in that cold miserable weather", well good for ya. I love cold weather. I love my cold weather clothes and all my jackets. Snow is awesome. You have your likes, and I have mine so no need to pass on those thoughts. Fall is my favorite season followed by winter. Fall is when I was born. I love the cool breeze that passes by me on a walk. I told my wife I loved her in the fall and I proposed in the fall. Football and new shows come on in the fall. And it is the precursor to winter and Christmas. Cold weather is just a wonderful characteristic of it all.

Speaking of new shows, Smallville premiered last night and all I have to say is 'WOW'. By far it was Smallville's best episode ever. They have a wonderful knack for wrapping up storylines from the previous season and creating wonderful new ones that will play out over the year. This season will also boast the introduction of the Green Arrow. Like Batman, he has no powers...just a Robin Hood type looking to do good. There have been other talented visitors on Smallville before (Flash, Aquaman, Cyborg) but none were actual 'superheros' yet. Just powerful people trying to find a place in the world just like our show's lead, Clark Kent. Green Arrow however, will be our first costumed hero so it will be fun to watch.

And now I have bored you all, but hey Robert's Land fully supports the
promotion of Superman and Superman related information so don't be hating. Plus the more I say Smallville or Superman, the more hits my blog might receive. I want to wrap up with a quote from "The Rapture" by Jerry B. Jenkins. I read it last month and one part really caught my emotions. Obviously the fiction book is based on the rapture. The quote is from a scene that occurs immediately after the true believers and followers in Christ are gathered together in the air. Hope you all have a good week.

All around them Irene could hear cheers and squeals of delight as more reunions took place. People of all races and creeds celebrated. Irene knew they had to be speaking in their own languages, yet she understood every word.A Chinese woman announced for all to hear, pointing at another woman, “My daughter was in a wheelchair for twenty years! Look at her now!”

From somewhere else, a father introduced a handsome, smiling young man. “This boy was born with Down Syndrome.”“I can’t wait to sing to Jesus,” the boy said.

Irene saw two women embracing and weeping. “Your child?” Irene said.One met Irene’s eyes and nodded. “I had her aborted sixteen years ago. She forgives me.”“I have both arms!” a man shouted, waving. “I am whole!” came from somewhere else.Had they been here for an hour or only a second? Irene couldn’t tell. All she knew was that anticipation crashed over her like a waterfall. She turned to Raymie, and they said in unison, “I want to see Jesus.”And the entire throng from all over the world ascended yet again.

State of The Robert's Land Address

Ladies and gentlemen, The Robert of Robert's Land

(clap clap clap clap clap clap clap)

Well, we are winding down the final days of summer. For some, you may have already gone back to school, others may still be enduring 100+ temperatures, while others may not have even noticed it was summer. For me, the temperature has dropped about 20 degrees over the last few weeks (for those who think Boston is the Arctic, its not...we are hitting around 80 currently). All the summer trips have been taken and enjoyed. All the visitors from the south have come and gone. Time to set my sight on what lays ahead.

(clap clap clap clap)

First off, as some of you may have noticed, I could have really cared less about blogging this summer. With the start of summer came the turning off of my brain. That will be changed...hopefully by Monday morning. I have been putting up puff pieces about movies, video clips, pictures, and copied news stories. I have reviewed these postings along with posts of the past and will try and get back on track this fall with my flow of creativity.

(
Standing clap clap clap clap)

With the end of summer comes the beginning of a new school year. My 2nd semester of BBC will officially begin Monday the 28th.

(Right side - clap clap clap clap)

I will begin my semester with a two week, nearly 6 hour a day blitz featuring the Exposition of General Epistles. The Fall semester will continue after that with Old Testament Survey I, New Testament Survey I, Exposition of Prison Epistles, Exposition of Thessalonians, Intro to Ministry Skills, and Journalism.

(Left Side, partial right -
clap clap clap clap)

For those bad at math, that is 21 hours with the blitz. The key to the War on BBC is speed my friends. We want a speedy resolution to this conflict. I will go in, do a lot of shock and awe and get out as quickly as possible. You have my word.

(Scattered clap clap clap clap)

For those who have enjoyed the photos from various summer trips, do not worry about the approaching seasons of change. There are currently plans under way for a trip to Vermont to see the leaves change. There will be the premier of "NASH RETURNS" in November. There will be snow, Christmas, and plenty of memories to share along the way!

(silence)

*Clears throat* Most importantly, the fall season brings the start of football and new television shows to our lives once more. FOX Sports predicts that the Fighting Aggies of Texas A&M will meet Arizona State in the Sun Bowl!...or Purdue, Wisconsin or Michigan State in the Insight Bowl...or possibly Wisconsin in the Alamo Bowl. Either way, best of luck to you A&M as you begin your new season.

New shows are always exciting, but be warned there may be some duds out there! Do not be fooled. I have taped FOX's new series Vanished and will review it this evening. Expect a full report tomorrow. Will Till Death shine for the former Raymond star? Who will win the war between Studio 60 and 30 Rock? 60 is a bigger number. And what of our returning favorites? How will Clark get out of the phantom zone? Will House be cured of his limp? Are Jim and Pam going to hook up? Did Dean and Sam survive? And what the crap is happening with those lost folk? All these questions and more will be answered in the coming months! Except maybe the one about the lost people.

(Scattered yawns)

And so my fellow Robert Landians, I encourage you to keep up the good work. Visit often, laugh much, and cry a little. And for the love of everything, leave comments every now and then. I don't do this for giggles. It's all for you Damian...or whatever your name happens to be reading this. You don't have to be a member of the United States of Blogspot to leave a comment. I close with this: ask not what Robert's Land can do for you. Ask what you can do for Robert's Land.

And the answer is leave comments.

Seriously, I know where everyone lives who visits.

Thank you.

(coyote howls)

Super Videos

So as the three of you who visit this site know , I am a Superman fan. Love the movies, love the show, love the comics, love it all.

Like any faithful fan, I visit www.supermanhomepage.com which provides Superman related information (no need to make fun. Sports fans visit their team's page, music fans visit their band's page, Dekker fans visit www.teddekker.com).

Anywho, Neal Baily posted a Do's and Don'ts list on how to pass the time till the next Superman movie. It was very funny and I was going to share the whole thing, but decided to focus on one particular item.

DO: BUY THE soundtrack.
DON'T: Do THIS.

Click the above "THIS" link for a pretty hilarious video. Hilarious to me anyway. Probably cause I have made up words like this before.

Whle you're at it check out "How Superman Should Have Ended" as well.

If nothing else (or in addition to) be sure to hop over to Grace Blog and watch the video from this past Friday's Family Flicks & Fun Night.

How Many Planets?

Just read this interesting article and wanted to pass it along.
--------------------------------------------------------------
DALE McFEATTERS: Neptune, Pluto, Xena, Dasher, Dancer ...


Last Updated: August 14, 2006, 01:40:00 PM PDT

(SH) - If it's one thing we thought we knew, it's that the solar system has nine planets, beginning with closest-in Mercury and extending to farthest-out Pluto. But apparently we got ahead of ourselves, and the astronomers are saying not so fast.

The solar system may instead consist of eight planets, or 10, or 53, or some number in between. An astronomy conference now under way in Prague, Czech Republic, may decide to demote Pluto or promote a 10th, nicknamed Xena, to planethood.

Pluto's planetary status, always shaky since its discovery in 1930, received a blow last summer with the discovery by a Cal Tech astronomer of Xena, or 2003 UB313, farther out and slightly larger and brighter than Pluto. Like Pluto, it has a moon.

Also like Pluto, Xena is in the Kuiper Belt, a vast and unexplored zone beyond Neptune, the last "regular" planet, so speak. The Kuiper Belt is filled with thousands of celestial objects - some of them comets, but some of them potentially meeting the same criteria for planet status as Pluto and Xena.

Astronomers are debating ways of handling this, such as going back to eight planets or listing planets by category - "gas giants," for example. Pluto would be an "ice dwarf." Or, astronomers could say that more information is needed and wait until NASA's New Horizons space probe arrives at Pluto 9-1/2 years from now.

The astronomers could solve the status of Pluto rather quickly except for one thing. Many nonscientists, and especially schoolchildren, are enormously sentimental and protective of this tiny frozen rock several billion miles from Earth, and they go nuts whenever it is suggested that Pluto is not a planet.

As for the rest of us, we would tell the astronomers this: We could get reconciled to eight planets; we could deal with 10; but there's no way we're going to memorize the names of 53 planets.

Sox, Joker, Video, & Mel

Just a few quick things. First up, I have posted pictures from our (my sister and brother-in-law) trip to Fenway Park. Very cool place to see. Hope to be able to go to a game there someday. Fenway is not like ballparks/stadiums that I am used to seeing. Normally there is a huge parking lot and lots of open space. This, however, was just right in the big middle of everything. Lots of cool restaurants and shops all around it. Click here to see the rest.

Also, I read yesterday that Brokeback Mountain star Heath Ledger will be playing The Joker in the next Batman film. Would love to know your thoughts on this. Is this good casting or a big mistake? Leave a comment and let me know what you think.


I have also added two new films to the Video Clips section. These were made by my talented friend Josiah. He has a real creative mind and I think a bright film future ahead of him. Not bad since he just entering his senior year of high school. One film is titled "The incrediball" and th other is "The Chase". They are probably only a few minutes each so check them out.

Finally, I have a note regarding all this talk and judgment people are placing on Mel Gibson. What he did was wrong and a horrible mistake. But which of you can say you have never sinned/done something wrong? Who among us can honestly look back over their entire life and say that we have never done or said something we regret? No one is perfect. Not even those who are believers in Jesus. Becoming a believer does not mean that that person's life will be perfect and sin free. Mel Gibson made a mistake, admitted it (something most of us have a problem doing), asked for forgiveness (even more difficult than admitting) and has taken several other steps to fix his problem through rehab and what-not. Some of these people in Hollywood and elsewhere who are saying he should be 'kicked out of Hollywood' (funny considering what other people are doing there) and that he shouldn't be forgiven...well I can't say much about them. Many are probably unsaved and therefore do not know any better. It pains me though when I hear Christians saying the above statements. We do know better. Colossians 3:13 teaches that we are to "bear with each other and forgive whatever grievances you may have against one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you." We as Christians are to forgive one another. Plain and simple. This is about as straight forward as it can get. Jesus suffered greatly and died so that we may be forgiven of all our wrong doings. Seems like it should be pretty easy for us to forgive someone, especially a person we have never met. Hope everyone is enjoying their final months of summer.

Enjoy the pictures and videos.

Big Dig Disaster...Could Be Worse

So as most people are probably aware of, there was a bit of a disaster with the project known as the "Big Dig" here in Boston. This is the most expensive road/highway/whatever construction in the United States. Last week, there was a horrible accident in which one of the 4-ton ceiling panels collapsed on a vehicle killing the front seat passenger. The whole situation has led to a criminal investigation, the Gov. taking over the entire project, finger pointing, citizens vowing to never take that route even when it is fixed and tunnels being shut down for months thus leading to a horrible traffic situation.

Well I was reading in my handy, dandy Uncle John's Bathroom Reader: Plunges Into History the other day and found an event that happened in Boston that I would consider a much worse scenario. (This is in NO WAY meant to make light of what happened or the loss of a life. This is an actual event that happened that I found interesting enough to share. If you are easily offended, I apologize). The following features exceprts from the above mentioned book.
---------------------------------------------------------------
"The 50-foot high tank at the Purity Distilling Comapny of Boston, MA was going full-bore. Filled to near-capacity, it contained two million gallons of steam-heated molasses...Next thing anyone knew, the tank burst, sending - did we mention two million gallons? - warm, sticky molasses into the streets of Boston, moving at 35 miles an hour. Which might have been funny if it hadn't also been carrying huge, jagged sections of the tank."

"In an irony only found in truth, this event really did take place during January (1918). Too bad it had to be an unusually warm January day, 43 degrees, well above freezing. If the weather had been more typical, it might have given the soon-to-be victims time to notice the oncoming calamity..."

"Moving with a dull, muffled roar, the 15-foot hight wall of brown goo surged and rumbled into Boston's North End. It crushed trolley cars, swallowed trucks, horses and carts, and knocked buidlings off their foundation. The parts of the tank propelled by molasses tore into the supports holding up the Atlantic Avenue elevated train...the track collapsed to the ground, jsut as the train was approaching."

"The greatest number of fatalities that day was at a Public Works building. The molasses slammed into the building, shattering it and throwing fragments 150 feet into the air. It was literally a tidal wave, swallowing dozens of people, rolling and crushing them under its brown mass. Dozens were critically injured by the debris picked up and carried by the sticky mess, while others were simply crushed to death... Finally the molasses began to cool and congeal. The final toll was 21 people dead, 150 injured. The clean-up crew pumped sea water from that harbor via hoses. But the molasses and saltwater didn't mix, and soon the whole area was buried under brown foam. It took months before the streets of Boston were their old farmilar dirty gray again."

Church Attack

My friend Damian who is a missionary in the UK emailed me the following article regarding a recent attack on his church. Thought I would pass it along. You can either read it below or visit this website.
-------------------------
Vicious attack on church youngsters
Jun 28 2006


Child members of a church group were kicked and punched to the ground by a drunken mob of adults in Hednesford Park on Friday evening.

Police are currently investigating the horiffic attack, which saw innocent worshippers as young as 14 set upon by the gang, all believed to be aged over

A violent attack has sent shockwaves through members of the peaceloving Kingsmead Independent Baptist Church, who were visiting the park as part of a regular Friday fun-night for younger church members.

Supervisors who tried to intervene were also beaten in the attack, suffering broken noses and bruises.

"You teach how to love and respect those who are around you and then this happens," said a shaken Reverend Damien Pickett.

"Many of our young members are now too scared to return to the park. We are shocked and stunned beyond belief."

The sickening scenes of mindless violence erupted as junior church-goers took part is a group frisbee game.

"It was only around 8.45pm, and everyone was having fun as usual. We were all tossing the frisbee around, kicking a football, everyone was laughing and joking. Then the huge mob came up out of nowhere. There was some verbal abuse. Then they just started raining down blows on the children. They didn't care how young these kids were, or how small. It was terrifying.

"There were punches and kicks to the head and body. Two youth leaders tried to intervene, but it was no good. They got beaten, too. One, Steve Davies, had his nose broken - bent right across his face. Just for trying to protect the children."

Youth Group Leader Steve Davies, 21, said: "It's sickening. Myself and a colleague were just trying to keep the peace, to stop them from hitting the children. We ended up getting attacked ourselves. There should have been community police officers around, surely. It's frightening to think that there weren't."

Police confirmed yesterday that the matter, initially reported at Burntwood LPU and later at Cannock, was currently being investigated.

The horrific attack comes just days after local police and residents praised the community's efforts in clamping down on anti-social behaviour in Hednesford.

New Blog

Just wanted to share that I have created a new blog for our church in Brockton, MA. To visit it, simply click on the picture above or go to www.thatsgrace.blogspot.com

On this site, you will find videos of our sermons as well as other events. I also hope to post other items such as ministry opportunities, prayer request (which you can leave in the comments section), upcoming events, possibly sermon outlines, photos and more. The side bar features helpful links found on our church's homepage (www.thatsgrace.org) as well.

When you have time, stop by and let us know what you think!
