Austin 3:16 & John 3:16

Dear Readers,

Here is another poster that i have made. Yeah, it brings back old memories of the "good o' WWF (World Wrestling Federation) in the "attitude" era! This is one of the quotes of my all time top favorite list of superstars Stone Cold Steve Austin! Wow...he really did made my days interesting! 

As a young boy ,I have very fond memories sitting down on the sofa with my mother and brother watching WWE and all I could think of was, what was Stone Cold Steve Austin, the rattlesnake gonna do next?

And then, just when trouble seems far away, the bad guys would come out and run their mouths. I especially remember the Vince McMahon's season where he would come out to the arena and try to run things his way. Before the time of D-Generation-X (Triple H [Hunter Hearst Helmsley and HBK - The Heart Break Kid "Shawn Michaels") v.s Vince & the McMahon's era (or was it after that?), Stone Cold Steve Austin was the guy to look out for! And then suddenly, out of the blue...the sound of a shattering glass would resound throughout the arena. The sound that stops the heartbeat of the people....the sound of Stone Cold Steve Austin! Then Austin 3:16's entrance video would hit and there appears Austin...either doing his "Austin walk", driving a beer truck, riding a motorbike, or simply appearing through the wild crowd, heading towards his victim that always seemed to be dumbfounded by the presence of Stone Cold.

Thats when you know that "Austin 3:16 says "I just whipped your ass!" is coming to pass, like a promise that Stone Cold could only deliver. 

Well, while i was thinking back about all this..i decided to make a poster of my two favorite quotes. From the WWF (World Wrestling Federation) /WWE (World Wrestling Entertainment) and from the Book of Life, The Bible. While Austin 3:16 says "I just whipped your ass" which basically means "You are so dead", John 3:16 says "For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" which also basically means "I have come (to die) so you can live" and i have found that to be so profound and powerful!

One (Stone Cold Steve Austin) talks about brining death and destruction to his foes and enemies, which is very common for a conquering and dominating king or person but In the bible, the book of John talks about it, in such a loving manner that no human can comprehend. Both quotes, touched millions of hearts...both also categorized as great and mighty conquerer, both so different methods.

Thus, here is some fan art, of both my heroes! hope you guys enjoy it! (You can use it as a wallpaper too if you wish). All Glory unto God!

Mikes Psalm 2

Mikes psalm 2

And bless your name I shall among the peoples,
For you have done great and marvelous things in my life,
I cannot deny that everything you did you had my best interest,
Though I may stumble and fall You always picked me up,
Even when I felt I didn't need you at all You never left me,
When I cried when I was say You were collecting my tears,
When I was afraid You was in front of me,
In my embarrassment You were waiting for me in my secret corner,
In my pride You somehow understood and waited patiently,
In my sorrows You held me as I cried,
When I was lonely You were listening to me,

Why then do you feel so distant?
And yet you loved me so much,
I feel your love for me but it is so far away,
You are near but I can't see you,
I feel your awesome presence but I can't hold you,
How then, can I trust that you are with me?

But the wonders of your mighty hand are to be marveled,
Even in my darkest moments I see your work,
Sudden things being removed and moved,
Strangers come with mirth, gold and forbearing good news,
Everywhere I walk I seem to carry wondrous favor,
A thousand Smiles greet me as I walk on by,

A simple thanks would not be enough,
How can it be considered what you have done,
You have turned my mourning into dancing,
You have went fourth to confused my enemies,
Your promise is to crush them inside their very camp,
Oh, how I delight in Your laws,
Delight in the Lord always and praise His name forever!
