I know everyone talks a lot about New Year’s Resolutions: whether they’re helpful or ridiculous. I for one have no problem with them. I always make a few. Truly, I think that all throughout the year, every day of our lives, we should be consistently getting convicted about things, making resolutions, setting goals, trying to do better, grow closer to the Lord. God can work in our lives anytime and through any means.
So here are a few of my 2010 Resolutions, the less personal ones, anyway:
1. Evangelize more.
There are so many lost, hurting, miserable people out there who don’t know the Lord and are still struggling under their burden of sin and guilt. It’s really sad that we can be so consumed with ourselves that we won’t witness to someone just because they might get annoyed, or take it the wrong way, or they might think we’re weird. Christ gave his life for us! And we can’t even tell other people the good news just because we feel funny or embarrassed? I’m so ashamed. I know I’m guilty of this and I needs to change.
2. Do more for others.
I need to be intentional about it. I realized that my mindset isn’t always that of “What can I do to help?”. I need to try to remember to look for opportunities instead of letting myself be served. Whatever I can do – anything, even little things like unloading the dishwasher. It’s a daunting task for me and other people can do it so much faster but that’s really no excuse for me not to do it. Comparisons are wrong. I’m accountable to God for myself. It doesn’t matter how my abilities compare to other peoples. As Galatians 6:4 says: Make a careful exploration of who you are and the work you have been given, and then sink yourself into that... Don't compare yourself with others.
3. Read the Bible more.
I read or listen to Scripture every day. The problem is I find myself reading more from the New Testament, Psalms, Proverbs, Job. I need to read it all. I shouldn’t avoid the more confusing and unsettling parts of Scripture. It’s all given by inspiration from God and it’s all useful for doctrine and instruction, you know.
4. Learn how to play the chaconne in D minor on the guitar.
I wish! :)
Nah, just kidding! I think my true resolution would be to teach guitar. I need another job. Problem is I wouldn’t want to make people pay for it. I’m not that good. I started teaching a boy from church a while ago but that kind of fizzled off after a few times. Now he’s too old, probably, to want me to teach him. I’m going to start teaching a young friend of mine. I guess I just need to be bolder and pursue things. Maybe at church next Sunday I’ll talk to his mom and set up a day he can come over.
And, I can't forget: I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.
I hope you all have a wonderful new year in the Lord.
God bless!

Post-Holiday Blues?
I went with my friend, Jake, to church this morning. He was kind enough to come considerably out of his way to pick me up. Rough weather too.
Good sermon. I bet pastors have a hard time deciding what to preach on the Sunday after Christmas. The Christmas story? Just slightly late for that. New Year’s Resolutions? One Sunday too early for that. What are the pressing post-Christmas concerns? Weight loss?! To tell you the truth, I’d be rather pleased if I gained any weight this holiday. No, this morning’s sermon was on materialism. It’s a good topic any time of year but an especially helpful reminder around Christmas-time. His particular emphasis was on the inability of material possessions to bring fulfillment. That’s a pretty incisive insight right now when the excitement and anticipation of the Christmas season is over. All the gifts are put away, the food is eaten, the decorations are taken down, the family and friends are gone back to their lives. A lot of people are feeling empty and unfulfilled. The pleasures material blessings brought are already diminishing. It doesn’t last. Not even a few days!
He took his text from Luke 12 and his key verses were:
Watch out! Be on your guard against all kinds of greed; a man's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.
Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom. Sell your possessions and give to the poor. Provide purses for yourselves that will not wear out, a treasure in heaven that will not be exhausted, where no thief comes near and no moth destroys. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.
And 1 Timothy 6:
But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into the world, and we can take nothing out of it. 8But if we have food and clothing, we will be content with that. People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. 1For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil. Some people, eager for money, have wandered from the faith and pierced themselves with many griefs.
Command those who are rich in this present world not to be arrogant nor to put their hope in wealth, which is so uncertain, but to put their hope in God, who richly provides us with everything for our enjoyment. Command them to do good, to be rich in good deeds, and to be generous and willing to share. In this way they will lay up treasure for themselves as a firm foundation for the coming age, so that they may take hold of the life that is truly life.
The message was really well-times and convicting. I wish I had a copy of it. Maybe I’ll link to it if he puts it online.
Aside, from the awesome message, I haven’t been to that church in a while so it was a little awkward, I’ll admit.
I never want to get up while the aisles are full of people unless I can take someone's elbow and have them guide me out. I don’t want to be in the way. So usually I just sit in the pew and wait, listen to different conversations going on around me. You wouldn’t believe how hard it is not to eavesdrop; I guess people never think I can hear extremely well. It’s one of those things, you know. People subconsciously assume if you can’t see you have no idea what’s going on.
Well, that sounds a little boastful. I’ll admit I don’t always know what’s going on. For instance this morning the pastor said “Good morning” to me about five times before I realized he was talking to me. That was pretty embarrassing. You know, I wonder if he forgot my name.
Anyway, all that to say, as I was sitting there, waiting for the crowd to disperse, I could hear a group of kids discussing their Christmas gifts. It pretty much cemented everything I’d learned from the message.
Kids: “I didn’t get the fill-in-the-blank that I wanted” and “Well, my grandparents got me a video game I already had and I wish my parents could exchange it” and “My baby brother dipped my remote-controlled truck in the toilet and it stopped working.” Etcetera. This reinforced, for me, the worth of the pastor’s observations this morning. Those kids, though – I don’t think they learned anything! :)
I just pray that we older ones are quicker to learn and obey. May we be doers of the Word and not hearers only. But, it’s comforting to remember that even when we mess up – even when we’re hearers only – we have a forgiving God. Aren’t you grateful for God’s mercy? He puts up with SO much!
God bless!

Bertram
Hi!
The day after Christmas is always so laid-back. I don’t think I’ve done anything noteworthy all day. Sitting here at my computer trying to think of what to write. I used to keep a journal on the computer so I have this fear of making my blog into a journal. :)
So, on a totally random note, I named my screen reader Bertram after the wooden clockwork boy in the book The Clockwork Twin. I thought it was pretty suitable since that Bertram was a mechanical, programmed ‘person’. That book was one of my favorites when I was a kid. The episode where Adoniram’s Uncle spanked Bertram is totally hilarious. Or, for that matter, when the policeman swallowed his pencil! For some reason when I was a kid I thought that was really funny.
God bless!

Merry Christmas!
Merry Christmas!
I hope everyone has had a blessed day. I know I did! God has been so gracious to me and my whole family. It’s been awesome.
I haven’t had time to write a long post like I’d wanted to but I thought I’d post a link to a sermon I found this afternoon. It’s by John MacArthur: called The True Spirit of Christmas.
http://www.biblebb.com/files/MAC/80-152.HTM
And a few verses that I read this morning:
Phil 2:8-11
And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself by becoming obedient unto death, even death on a cross...that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those who are in heaven, and on earth, and under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
What amazing grace we’ve been shown! That God would humble Himself and become a man like us. I know I am so undeserving. We serve a God of love and mercy!
God bless!

Shopping.
So... I went Christmas shopping today. Not my favorite pastime in the world. Shopping. That's why I try to do the majority of it online ahead of time. Unfortunatley, that didn't entirely work out this year and I had face this truly hated task.
I especially hate it if I’m going by myself like I did today. I’d waited till this late hour to do my shopping because I thought Riley could take me but he’s unbelievably busy. He’s in town for so short a time that I’d feel terrible to make him spend a great portion of it with me trailing behind telling him what to find for me. So, he was kind enough to drop Shadow and I at the mall where we spent several long and monotonous hours.
Shopping is tedious!
First off, it’s just boring. Really boring. Since I can’t see the products these stores are selling and I can’t force some unfortunate employee to list everything a given store has for sale (and the price, and the appearance, and the details etcetera) I have to make up my mind what to buy ahead of time. And I’m just not a decisive fellow.
Second, it’s positively overwhelming. The crowds in this city at Christmas-time terrify me. Shadow’s awesome but it still unnerves me to have to follow him through a jostling crowd, hoping we’ll find someone official to help us, and feeling nervous knowing that the employees are going to be so busy and stressed they’re sure to be groaning when they see me approach.
During typical, non-busy times of the year, I’m going to be asked “How can I help you?” as soon as I approach. Today I stood at this one place for what seemed like several minutes wondering if Shadow had made some sort of mistake and whether to try asking for help and see if anyone was paying attention enough to answer. They might have been ignoring me. I did consider that.
So, I started to wonder if I was standing too far away. I mean, employees aren’t that rude are they? There’s got to be some reason. Well thankfully at that point a nice old lady appeared asking me if I was lost and if I needed help with anything. I guessed that she was only a fellow-shopper soon enough that at least I didn’t embarrass myself and her by asking her to help me shop, haha! She drew me to the employee’s attention, they were super-polite, I was assigned an unlucky young fellow to help me shop, apologized for taking their time, and all was well.
But yeah. Lots of fun. :)
I found everything I was looking for, though, so I’m thankful for that. I paid some awesome fellow at the mall to wrap everything for me. I’m relieved to have all that Christmas shopping behind me; I’d been dreading it for a while.
Now I can look forward to Christmas. :)
God bless!

Hi,
Tonight after dinner we decorated the Christmas tree. A little late, I know. Ava wasn’t happy about that. :) Partly it’s that we didn’t get around to it. Mom and Dad have been super-busy lately. Plus we were waiting for Riley to come back from college. His Christmas break started yesterday and he got in late last night.
Dad and Riley brought the boxes down and Mom and Ava decorated. Riley helped too. Ava chattered on to Riley the whole time. Ava thinks he’s the bomb. She’s pretty much right on about that too. He’s doing really well at college, or so I hear. He’ll probably be great someday. He and Dad are always talking about technical and scientific stuff that makes absolutely no sense to me!
I sat on the sofa, while they decorated, and played my guitar. I didn’t say much, just listened. I have a lot to be thankful for this holiday season. Not everyone is so blessed as I am. It’s great to have Riley back. And Amy and Brian will be in Sunday evening. That’ll be fun. All my favorite people! :) We haven’t seen much of Amy since she got married. Maybe she’s just jealous of how much everyone else likes having Brian around!
Last night when Riley got in he came up to my room to say hello and he ended up talking to me for an hour at least. It was after midnight but I knew he was coming so I waited up. Everyone else went to bed. I made sure my light was on, so he'd know I was awake, haha!
He sat at my computer desk and told me all about his new car and his various professors and this girl he has a crush on, and of course, all the girls who are stalking him. There was a lot to catch up on because I’ve only talked to him two or three times since he’s been at college. I call at least every week but I don’t want to be annoying. I know he’s really busy.
It was after 1 in the morning and Riley said he was hungry so we went down to the kitchen and I made him an omelet. He made me pretty nervous by standing and watching. I think people sometimes underestimate me. Who knows, probably my manner doesn’t inspire much confidence.
After that he wanted me to come out and see his new car. He must have gotten a lot of sleep the night before. He didn’t seem tired at all. I was just glad he was talking to me. I didn’t end up going to sleep until about 2 in the morning. Lots to think about. Now I’m really tired though.
Here’s a verse that’s been on my mind a lot today:
1 Timothy 3:16
Beyond all question, the mystery of godliness is great: He appeared in a body, was vindicated by the Spirit, was seen by angels, was preached among the nations, was believed on in the world, was taken up in glory.
Thanks for reading and have a blessed Lord’s Day tomorrow.
God bless!

Hi!
Thanks for stopping by my blog!
I’ve had a blog before but wasn’t adept enough on the computer back then so I let it go. That was a long time ago. I’m ready to try again! So here goes my new try at blogging.
I don’t have a whole lot of wisdom and profound thoughts to share but I know God has given me some unique experiences in my life that he’s used to teach me a great number of things. I don’t want to keep them to myself if they could help anyone else.
Well, for starters, let me introduce myself. I’m Jason Terryn, 20, tall, brown haired, a little eccentric, I guess. I try not to be, I don’t know if that counts for anything! My favorite things to do are play the guitar or read a good book. I like to write, too, and listen to music. And of course, one of my favorite things is spending time with my family. One other thing you should know about me is that I’m blind. It’s by no means the most significant fact about me but as other people often seem to think it is I figured I’d better mention it.
I have an awesome family: parents who love the Lord, my older sister, Amy, whose 21 and just married to Brian whose got to be the best brother-in-law anyone’s ever had. An awesome younger brother, Riley, 17; he’s in his first semester at college. He’s smart, athletic, and lots of fun. Last but definitely not least is my little sister Ava, whose 7 and the most sweet and beautiful girl I know. People are always shocked to hear I’ve got a sister that young. She came as quite a surprise.
I have a good life and an amazing family. They’re all very brilliant and successful and it makes me proud to be related to them.
Another thing: God’s blessed me so much in my life and I’m really happy and, for the most part, contented with my life. Often people, when they realize I’m blind, will come up to me and say they’re so sorry and just assume I have a horrible life, I tell them I’m happy, but not just because I’m fulfilled and independent and all that sort of thing. I’d be really unhappy with being blind if not for the Lord. I’m always glad for the chance to explain to them that the reason I’m happy is because of what Christ has done in my life. I’m not offended when people say that it just gives me a chance to share the gospel with them.
I’m not saying I never get discontented or ungrateful – but just that, for the most part, God’s helped me to be reconciled to my blindness and he’s been really gracious to me in giving me a loving family, caring friends, a good job, and an awesome church family. I don’t have much to complain about…
Thanks for reading my blog!
God bless!
