Support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012

Hi,

I signed a petition to Rep. John Kline (MN-2), The United States House of Representatives, and 2 others which says:

"Total outstanding student loan debt in America is expected to exceed $1 TRILLION this year. Millions of hardworking, taxpaying, educated Americans are being crushed under the weight of their educational debts, while the economy continues to sputter. Support a REAL economic stimulus and jobs plan. Support the Student Loan Forgiveness Act of 2012 (H.R. 4170)."

Will you sign this petition? Click here:

Your Guide to Understanding Joe

I don't remember exactly when I wrote this, but I believe it was October of 2006

Your Guide to Understanding Joe:

There are, obviously, quite a few specifics that you'll learn as you get to know me better. But for starters, there are 4 main things you need to know, in order to understand me.

1. Joe Loves God!

What does this mean? Well first of all, the Bible clearly states that the natural response to God's love for us is to obey Him. So, everything that I do is motivated by my personal mission statement, if you will: “Living in such a way that I grow closer to the LORD every day and I am pleasing to Him.” This means a lot of things, but it definitely means living up to the level of revelation I have received (Philippians 3) and being led by the Spirit (Romans 8). I am very clear on what I am called to do, and after that, because I am submitted to Him, I trust my preferences. When I am “off,” I trust God to show me and I repent. I am honest and open to those whom God has called me to entrust myself. I have no problem being transparent and I am ready at any time to elucidate where I can be tempted. As the Bible clearly states in James 1, you cannot be tempted unless you WANT to do it, and I can be honest about the state of my soul.

2. Joe Knows the Bible

I can back up what I do with a Scriptural principle, not just a Scripture. Anyone can pull one verse out of the Bible and twist it to justify what they want to do. I live my life based upon PRINCIPLES that agree with, yet go beyond, the situational specifics and context of the Scriptures.

3. Joe is not traditional

I generally refuse to do something just because “that’s the way it’s always been done.” If I see that something is not Scriptural, I cannot act like it is something that I should do. I cannot deal with traditions, because they can render the Word of God ineffective (Mark 7) - as can a lack of faith (Matthew 13 & Mark 6). I am personally baffled when I see people who LOVE GOD, do something out of tradition. I don’t know why, and I’d probably get in less “trouble” in the church world if I could, but I can’t sit down and act like something is Biblical when it is not.

4. Joe will move in the freedom of the Spirit

When I am given a choice of what to do, I will choose what I want to do. I know that sounds pretty simple, but what I'm saying is that I cannot anticipate what your expectations of me are. When I don’t have a Word from God and I don’t feel led a certain way, I will defer to my preferences. Again, as my heart has been changed, my preferences have changed and every day I believe my preferences to be more God honoring. HOWEVER, if I am asked to do something specifically, my thought process changes. My first thought then is, “do I believe God wants me to do this?” If the answer is no or if I feel no leading to do it, I will not go to my preferences next. Rather, I say, “If this won’t cause me to sin and it won’t interfere with anything God has called me to do, then why shouldn’t I do it.” That is the thought process. Sometimes, my soul jumps in and gives me a reason not to do it. When that happens, I have to make a tougher decision: Do I love this person and inconvenience myself or should I go with my preferences. Now, my goal is always to love others above myself (and my preferences). I do not always meet my goal, but I press on towards my goal. I endeavor to not allow anything in my past (good or bad) to affect how I decide to move. I keep going, I keep pressing because God has called me to live at a much higher level than where I live now. He has called me Heavenward.

NOW, if you want to know a little more, you can feel free to read my Salvation Story (AKA: my testimony) on my website: http://www.joecapri.com

INTRO!!!!

OK,

I am starting this blog because I hardly ever use MySpace anymore and I don't want to lose the blogs I wrote there. Sooooo... I am going to be copying the blogs from there to here and posting them on the date that I posted the blog on MySpace. :-) When I am done, I will probably begin posting new blogs. Happy Reading!!!

300 and the Disciple of Christ

DON'T WATCH THESE IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE MOVIE!!!!!

No fear....

300 1st fight

"Immortals"


Barbarians and "a beautiful death"


Training and Commitment to war made the Spartans worthy of this depiction.

What would commitment of this magnitude to the LORD result in? How would I look if I received more of God's love... If I went to another level of receiving His love?

I John 4:7-11
"Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love. This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son into the world that we might live through him. This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another."

I must receive His love before I can even THINK about loving myself. I must love myself as Jesus does, because I am commanded to think of myself with sober judgement... I must think of myself in accordance with how God thinks of me. (Romans 12:1-3) I must love myself before I can even THINK about loving others, "as I love myself." (Luke 10:27 & John 13:34). THEN my faith can express itself through love (Galatians 5:6) and my love will look like I Corinthians 13:4-8a:

"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails."

Don't Despise the PROCESS

There is a lot to be said for the heart of a believer desperately desiring to be clean. However, "if you want the peanut butter jar to be empty, you've gotta make a lot of sandwiches!!!" We have ALREADY been delivered from all of our sins; our addictions; our unrighteousness; our pain. We do not always WALK in a manner that supports that statement, but that does not make it untrue.

Think about this, and research the truthfulness of this statement. Virtually ALL of the commands and exhortations and instructions in the New Testament of the Bible concern "getting your mind right," as I like to say. That is a process. We, as Christians, cannot handle going from being dirty, sinful creatures to being able to walk completely free in an instant. Mentally, we would freeze up and not know what to do. Exodus 23:20-33 displays this PRINCIPLE in natural terms, but ESPECIALLY verses 29-30:

"But I will not drive them out in a single year, because the land would become desolate and the wild animals too numerous for you. Little by little I will drive them out before you, until you have increased enough to take possession of the land."

Do not despise the process of God cleaning you out! No, you do not walk free from all of your foolish habits. That does not mean that you are not free. It means that you have not learned to walk free from it. The GOAL of your faith is the salvation of your soul (your MIND, your Will and your EMOTIONS). The only part of your soul that you can really control is your will. God will change the rest AS YOU DECIDE to follow Him and be obedient. (Philippians 2: 12-13). That process involves PAINFUL discipline, in the form of hardships. However, the result of that discipline is the holiness, righteousness and peace that you long for. (Hebrews 12:7-13). Do not despise the process!

If your soul was a peanut butter jar, then all of your
"foolishness" that is associated with your mind, will and emotions would be the peanut butter. For your soul to be completely clean, the knife has to be thrust in, twisted and scraped across SEVERAL times...

IF YOU WANT THE PEANUT BUTTER JAR TO BE EMPTY, YOU HAVE TO MAKE A LOT OF SANDWICHES!!!!!!!!!!!

:)

I love you!!!!

speaking in faith

*******I posted this so that ya'll can pray with me, and those of you who are on this list are there because I love you and trust you. I also know that the majority of you already are prayer warriors, and those who are not, I believe that you WILL BE!!!*******

"As a man thinks in his heart, so is he" Proverbs 23:7

"The tongue has the power of life and death..." Proverbs 18:21

"Delight yourself in the LORD and He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalms 37:4

Here are the desires of my heart:

--> To continually become MORE of a Man of God!!!
--> To continue to grow in faithfulness and blamelessness
--> To marry a woman who easily blows away every "high standard" that I had!!!
--> to finish Chiropractic school with at least a 3.0 GPA
--> To be a best-selling author
--> To be a millionaire by Age 36
--> To open the Tetelestai Industries Disciple Dorm by age 40
--> To be able to sow CRAZY amounts of money into the Kingdom of God
--> To have a body fat percentage lower than 13
--> To be able to run 5K in 20 minutes
--> To build my dream house by 38

I think that's enough for now, but I know a God who bestows favor and honor! I know a God who withholds NO GOOD THING from those whose walk is BLAMELESS!!!! Psalms 84:11 And if you don't ask, you don't get. (John 15:16 & 16:23-27) He loves me much more than my spiritual parents (it's debatable as to whether my natural parents loved me at all) and if I ask them for something, they want to give it to me. How much more does my Heavenly Father want to bless me. (Matthew 7:7-11)
