Top Ten Facts of the Year

March 17, 2011

This post is completely false information and is in no way 100%, and these facts are sometimes made up. Just having a little fun. :)

As the spring of 2011 hits us, it’s way past time to review and think about the Top Ten Facts of the 2010 Year.

Email from Google?

March 1, 2011

I got an interesting email today from Google. This it what it said:

Dear site owner or webmaster of graywolf336.com,

We recently discovered that some pages on your site look like a possible phishing attack, in which users are encouraged to give up sensitive information such as login credentials or banking information. We have removed the suspicious URLs from Google.com search results and have begun showing a warning page to users who visit these URLs in certain browsers that receive anti-phishing data from Google.

Below are one or more example URLs on your site which may be part of a phishing attack:

http://www.graywolf336 .com/thereismore/js/alliance/next/index.html

Here is a link to a sample warning page:

http://www.google.com/interstitial?url=http%3A//www.graywolf336.com/thereismore/js/alliance/next/index.html

We strongly encourage you to investigate this immediately to protect users who are being directed to a suspected phishing attack being hosted on your web site. Although some sites intentionally host such attacks, in many cases the webmaster is unaware because:

1) the site was compromised
2) the site doesn’t monitor for malicious user-contributed content

If your site was compromised, it’s important to not only remove the content involved in the phishing attack, but to also identify and fix the vulnerability that enabled such content to be placed on your site. We suggest contacting your hosting provider if you are unsure of how to proceed.

Once you’ve secured your site, and removed the content involved in the suspected phishing attack, or if you believe we have made an error and this is not actually a phishing attack, you can request that the warning be removed by visiting

http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_error/?tpl=emailer

and reporting an “incorrect forgery alert.” We will review this request and take the appropriate actions.

Sincerely,
Google Search Quality Team

Note: if you have an account in Google’s Webmaster Tools, you can verify the authenticity of this message by logging into https://www.google.com/webmasters/tools/siteoverview and going to the Message Center, where a warning will appear shortly.

My first thought was “This can’t be any where near true!” but then after I looked into it, I sadly found out that it was true. So at first I believed it was a malicious script, but after further investigation found out my web hosting account or something had been compromised some how.

The site fakes being a real site (thus being a phishing site) and requires users to enter valuable information. It then sends it to this email: gbetube.inc@gmail.com – I looked more at the rest of the file system on my web host, and man it was all over!!! I still have to go over all the folders and find out if there are any others. But just thought I’d post this and hope it makes you go look at your site, cause who knows you could get blocked from Google. Which trust me you don’t want that to happen!

God Bless,

Object Permanence in the Spirit World

February 27, 2011

Kid playing peek-a-boo!According to Wikipedia, object permanence is the understanding that objects continue to exist even when they cannot be seen, heard, or touched. Babies learn object permanence between the age of eight and twelve months old. A baby that hasn’t learned this enjoys playing peek-a-boo because they think whenever they close their eyes or cover their eyes they no longer exist! Another example of a baby not having learned this is if a blanket covers a toy the baby will appear distressed because that toy has now disappeared!

Once a baby learns object permanence they understand that something or someone out of sight hasn’t disappeared, or as someone put it “no longer out of sight out of mind.” By revisiting the two examples above, we can see that when playing peek-a-boo, the child understands that they aren’t really hidden thus the fun of the game is gone. The baby who believed his toy disappeared when it was covered by a blanket would now understand that it was only covered and didn’t go away completely.

It seems to me as if some people in the spiritual sense tend to unlearn the spiritual object permanence God has given them. They get so used to things or they get close to the world and then their spiritual object permanence starts to fade away. They wonder why they can’t seem to feel the spirit any more, and then they wonder if it really exists. Questions arise and they start to doubt the spirit and if a God exists.

I’ve got some news for them, the spirit exists no matter if they feel it or not! This universe isn’t egocentric to them.. This world doesn’t evolve around just them and how they feel! Thankfully, there’s always a God and always will be one! His spirit and presence will always be around, you just have to learn or relearn the spiritual object permanence. How? As Matthew 17:21 says:

…but by prayer and fasting.

New converts and babies in Christ have to put away doubts that there isn’t a God before they can receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. They go by faith, and then like a human baby they learn the spiritual object permanence. From what I’ve observed, new babes in Christ usually learn it really quickly and to a degree that they have faith which “seasoned Christians” don’t have! I’ve seen babes in Christ believe and pray for things, and because of their true belief and faith it happens!

Now why would a baby in Christ have a better understanding than a “seasoned Christian”? That was a question I pondered until recently . My conclusion is that whenever someone gets a revelation about something, they understand it really clearly but if they don’t exercise their understanding of it, they slowly lose their understanding of it. Thus if someone wants to “relearn” object permanence then they need to exercise it.. Or another way to describe it is to exercise their faith. Hebrews 11:1,3 says it well:

1Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen… 3Through faith we understand that the worlds were framed by the word of God, so that things which are seen were not made of things which do appear.

Hope this article has somehow helped someone, or that it makes sense at all. This post/article is solely my own opinion and reflects nothing of my family or work or my church. It’s only my thoughts and is in no way to be quoted or used in arguments or discussions because I’m in no way a Bible scholar and thus what I’ve said here has no backing up except by my thoughts. Think I need to take it down? Let me know and we’ll discuss why.

P.S.: I have no idea who this kid is, just found it on the internet and thought it was funny cause you can tell he’s “peeking”! Lol

Be Encouraged!

February 23, 2011

Encourage yourself!This past weekend was my brother’s wedding, and it was a very nice and big wedding! Both my brother and his wife were raised in the truth, the Apostolic truth.

After this wedding my parents and I stayed the rest of the weekend and into Monday to make sure some things happened. While we stayed there I had fun fellowshipping and hanging out with other young people in that church. After church we (some young people) went out to eat and then wanted to hang out. We decided to go walk around downtown and just have fun. It was fun and good fellowship! I thoroughly enjoyed it and next time I’m there I want to do it again. :)

Then that night, church was superb! The spirit of God and presence of God was there so powerful that even preservice prayer was amazing. Worship service started and it just broke out from there, I know that I got the refilling of the Holy Ghost that night. It was a realizing service that I started to see a couple of things, which I won’t say since it’s not the right time to.

After service I met some people that were there the entire weekend, but for some reason I hadn’t meet them yet. I’m so glad that I did get to meet them be cause I became pretty good friends with them and have been talking to them. I was talking with one of them about somethings and that’s when another realization hit me.

What was that? I should be encouraged. How did this come about? Well in a round about way, by discussing what we wanted to do in life. We, the Apostolic youth who have been raised in the church, need to be encouraged because you’re not the only young person out there who wants to and has goals for being in the church.

1 Samuel 30:6 says “And David was greatly distressed; for the people spake of stoning him, because the soul of all the people was grieved, every man for his sons and for his daughters: but David encouraged himself in the LORD his God.”

If you’re a young Apostolic lady, be encouraged because you’re not the only one who has a dream of becoming a preacher’s wife. If you’re a young Apostolic man, be encouraged because you’re not the only one who wants to become a preacher or pastor with a Godly wife. If you’re a young musician who wants to play in church, be encouraged and practice and pray and if it’s the Lord’s will it will happen. If you’re a young Apostolic with any sort of dreams or desires, pray that God has His will and if your dreams are His will for you just be encouraged!

Some final words for this little post are to stay encouraged and stand for this truth! Don’t back down!!! Try and get as much fellowship with fellow Apostolic young people as they will normally encourage you and have fun. :)

God Bless,
Bradley Hilton

First Post of 2011

January 15, 2011

2010 was a good year. God provided ways so that I could go to many different Apostolic Youth conferences and camps, I got to meet a ton of new people and friends, and old relationships/friendships have been strengthened. I wasn’t the best young person or the best son that I could have been. But that’s what a new year and new goals are for right?

In 2011 I don’t really have many “New Years Resolutions”, in fact I don’t really have any. But I do have some goals and commitments. Some of those goals are:

  • Getting a better relationship with God and a better prayer life
  • Workout and get in shape (already in progress!)
  • Go to youth conferences and camps and make new friends
  • Work like crazy on Apostolicbook
  • Graduate High School! (forgot about this lol)

There’s a couple other things but I can’t seem to think of them right now. But I want to leave you with something that really gets to me every time that I listen to it. It’s a sermon titled “Tragedy of a Wounded Spirit” by Rev. David Shatwell. I heard this on Holy Ghost Radio and had to order the CD because it’s just that good. So, I decided to share it with all my friends and readers. If you’re going to listen to it, PLEASE listen to it all at one sitting or else it won’t have the right effect. Also keep your attention focused on it and try not to be distracted while listening to it.

Camp Niangua 2010 CDs!

November 15, 2010

Some of you may remember me saying that I was going to a church camp called Camp Niangua back in the end of June beginning of July, but if not you now know that I did. I finally got the preaching, photo, and music cds of it! Listened to the music cd and this track is probably my favortie:

Audio MP3

But as of more recently I’ve been listening to the preaching CDs, and man oh man they are still as good today as they were down there! Maybe even more so now. The second night of preaching Bro. Weeks preached a very very good message, and one of the reasons I think I like it so much is because he hits hard upon makeup and painting people’s faces. I don’t see the point behind people putting makeup on, especially Apostolic young ladies! God made you the way he wanted you, and if you cover that up are you trying to tell God you think you’re a better artist than Him? Ever thought that you’re doing it because of your pride? You know pride is one of the root of all evils?

Just thought I’d share my deepest feelings on makeup under the cover of a different title. :)

God Bless,
Bradley

New “Investment”

October 31, 2010

I recently just got back from Colorado and immeditally started to get busy with my current big “project” that I posted about on Twitter. Along with that Twitter update, I also posted something else. That I had to get a mac, and yes I’m telling the truth. I won’t say what I need the mac for because of a couple of different reason.

Since getting this mac I’ve ran into a couple of problems, I can’t do everything that I can on my PC!! One thing I really needed was something to access my server like how WinSCP does… After moving some files between PC and mac via USB I got really tired of it. I decided to take some time and do a little research.. Found a free program that does it (Thankfully it was free!) and downloaded it and “installed” it I guess (since haven’t figured this mac thing out). The application that I’m currently using is Fugu in case any of my blog readers have need of an application like that. It works pretty good, but man I wish WinSCP was made for both or that I didn’t have to use a mac for this project. Oh well… I’m praying it was a good investment.

Until later, and by later I mean I’m going to hopefully be posting some images from the Colorado trip that I took with my big camera.

God Bless,
Bradley

2010 Colorado Hunting – PreHunting 2

October 22, 2010

Coulds Over Mountain Day two of being in Colorado, I’m dirty. No, no, no not a dirty mind! How could you think like that? I’m referring to being dirty as in dirt, dust, and no shower. Man it has been a blast so far!! Yesterday after we left the restaurant, we headed out to the camp ground and got to our cabin. Got everything unpacked and unloaded, including both four wheelers. Once everything was settled and in place where we thought we wanted it, it was time!

Time for what? Glad you asked! :) It was time four wheel riding! Not just any riding, but mountain trails riding! We left camp grounds around 4:30pm and didn’t get back till around 7pm.. In that time frame total fun happened! Went up through trails where the high mountain was on the left and a shear drop off was on the right and the trail itself was rockly bumpy. That was the fun of it, controlling the four wheeler and if you messed up  God help you. Another thing that happened while going on the trail was it started to sleet/rain. I had my sunglasses on and was glad I did cause it hurt my face at times, but it was fun!

We’re currently at Wal-Mart doing grocery shopping for stuff we forgot.. I’m tryping this up as I push the cart around lol I think we’re gonna go riding around more later, so I’m looking forward to it.

God Bless,
Bradley

P.S.: Enjoy the awesome picture I took with my phone, the Palm Pre!

2010 Colorado Hunting – PreHunting

October 21, 2010

It’s October 21st, 2010 and I’m making this blog post from Silt, CO. We’re currently at Steffie’s Place which is a home restaurant and, according to Bro. Rick, is a “nice place and we should buy it”. You can tell it’s somebody’s home restaurant cause they offer everything from Mexican food to American to some Italian. We’ll see how good this place actually is.
Colorado01
According to my thinking and math in my head, we’ve been traveling a total of around 15 hours. Going through Western Kansas wasn’t all that exciting and we acutally passed through it during the night last night, and then we stopped in Denver, CO for the night. We then got up around 7am and headed out traveling again. Once we left Denver, the country side started to get interesting cause of the mountians. I’ve took a couple pictures with my phone, but mainly took pictures with my camera… Hopefully attached to this post is a picture or two, and then once we get back I might post some of the other pictures.

Am I getting excited? Yeah, slowly but surely. More we go towards the place where we’re staying at, the more I get excited. It’s been feeling good to just relax and not really worry about anything!

This is all for now. I’m hopefully going to post another update once we get an elk or something…

God Bless,
Bradley

Took a Break…

October 8, 2010

Tonight I’ve been working on Apostolicbook and trying to get some work done on it.. After working on it for a couple hours, my brain decided to go on slow mode so I had to take a break from it. While doing that I remembered I had an awesome audio program on my computer. So, I decided to mess with it some. Was very interesting what I created, but nonetheless here’s a very short audio file I created! :)

Audio MP3
– Don’t become too excited about it! Lol

Now back off to working on Apostolicbook I go!
