I am scared. Normally, things do not scare me. I am not a very skittish person. Things just do not scare me anymore. The other day, I watched the Exorcism of Emily Rose (I know it is not the BEST thing for me to do). There was one part that brought me to tears.
In order for the priest to perform the exorcism, he must know the name of the demon possessing the person. This demon began counting to six over and over. After more prompting, the demon named its six names, the last of which was Lucifer.
I am a visual person, and seeing this on a screen scared me like nothing else has ever scared me before.
Another thing that does not necessarily scare me, but more challenge me is this thought that less people will be in Heaven than I think. Over the past month or so, God has really challenged me to live my BEST for what He wants.
But, where do I get my guidelines? Simple. The Bible. The Bible is absolute truth and without it, we have no guidance. So, as I have been studying and learning, things have began to change in my life. Most movies do not really interest me. Most music does not really interest me. I am beginning to realize the comfort that God gives us on a daily basis.
I am beginning to see that living my best for Him is the ONLY way.
"For the gate is small and the way is narrow that leads to life, and there are few who find it." says Matthew 7:14.
The more I am challenged by this verse to live the narrow way, and refine how I live to what the Bible says, the more challenged I get.
We had Celebration Week this week. It's basically a week long Celebration of what God is doing here on campus. Tonight was the culmination of Celebration Week, with an awesome service. However, I left more scared than I did excited.
The optimist in me said, "this is AWESOME!" However, the thinker in me said, "now what?"
People are excited at a worship service where people are singing songs and getting in touch with their emotions.
God is not an emotion that comes and goes as He pleases. He is present with us always.
As people sang the last two songs louder than they ever have before, I sat back down in my seat wondering if people are going to do their absolute 100% best to allow themselves to be refined by the Holy Spirit so that we can walk in complete harmony with God.
Now what?

Nano Technology
Battle is taking place today. I have infiltrated the AX defense systems with some new nano technology designed to eat away her defense shields allowing me to strike with ease.
When you go to her blog and look at the number of times she has posted something this month, you will see a number regarding higher than the number of days in any month. We aren't even to the end of the month and she has already surpassed the one blog a day rule.
This rule is not written down however, it is common knowledge that one does not post more than one blog per day. She posted three, yes THREE times yesterday. This score is more like golf, the lower the better.

I declare war.
1. 2. 3. 4. I declare a blog war. My friend Katie has been saying some very hurtful things in her blog about me. They have not severely offended me. So this is the official beginning of the epic AX-KASSAKATIS blog war.
I will be sure to limit my self to one attack per day. However, I may decide to save up multiple days and land one huge attack. She can win the small battles. But, behold, I shall win the war!
This is my message to all Wisconsonians with the name Katie Ax. Behold, the power of the Quail. It is far more powerful than one might think. Watch out pansies.

I have too much time
So, I haven't posted in a long time. That's the cool thing to do these days. Unless you are Katie, who updates 3-4 a day. Just messing Katie! Anyway, so as most of you know I am weird. And I am TOTALLY cool with that.
On weekends, a lot of my friends go home, but because I have to work, I stay here. So time, no one to hang out with, and my brain = INSANE ideas.
My roommate David, found the first season of Doug on DVD. So we watched most of season one last night (Saturday Night). As I was laying in bed, I thought wouldn't it be AWESOME to dress as Quail man.
Quail man is Doug's personal super hero for those of you not alive in the 90's.
After church this morning, I took Sarah and Katie (because they rode with me) to Walmart to get the necessary things to dress as Quail man.
I got back to my room and assembled the greatest costume known to man and looked with great fondness upon my creation. Behold. QUAIL MAN.
