| I doubt anyone out there still reads my xanga, but I got an email saying my account would be deleted if I didn't post something. So here's a shout out to anyone who actually reads this post. Leave a comment to let me know you're alive! 
In case anyone wonders about my current status in life, here it is:
I have graduated from college and I'm currently employed at Tyco Electronics as a software developer, creating web applications using Java. I am engaged and, Lord willing, I'll be getting married on September 13, 2008. Woo Hoo! | | |
| Christianity is more than a religion because it is the only faith that offers a relationship with its founder (Jesus). However, there is still an element of religion that we need to keep in mind. No, it isn’t ritual practices or debating theology (1 Cor. 1:19) it is what was described by the apostle James.
James 1:26-27:
26 If anyone considers himself religious and yet does not keep a tight rein on his tongue, he deceives himself and his religion is worthless.
27 Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and to keep oneself from being polluted by the world.
(This is what the Pharisees could not accept.)
"You can sing all you want to and still get it wrong; worship is more than a song."

WHY DID JESUS FOLD THE LINEN CLOTH AFTER HIS RESURRECTION?
The Gospel of John (20: 7) tells us that the napkin, which was placed over the face of Jesus, was not just thrown aside like the grave clothes. The Bible takes an entire verse to tell us that the napkin was neatly folded, and was placed at the head of that stony coffin. Is that important? You'd better believe it! Is that significant? Absolutely! Is it really significant? Yes!
In order to understand the significance of the folded napkin, you have to understand a little bit about Hebrew tradition of that day. The folded napkin had to do with the Master and Servant, and every Jewish boy knew this tradition. When the servant set the dinner table for the master, he made sure that it was exactly the way the master wanted it. The table was furnished perfectly, and then the servant would wait, just out of sight, until the master had finished eating, and the servant would not dare touch that table, until the master was finished.
Now if the master was done eating, he would rise from the table, wipe his fingers, his mouth, and clean his beard, and would wad up that napkin and toss it onto the table. The servant would then know to clear the table. For in those days, the wadded napkin meant, "I'm done". But if the master got up from the table, and folded his napkin, and laid it beside his plate, the servant would not dare touch the table, because the servant knew that the folded napkin meant, "I'm not finished yet." The folded napkin meant, "I'm coming back!"
