I got about as far as I expected to on the pool table. The main sanding is complete and a coat of primer now covers everything.
Since the primer for the orange part is really peach… The pool table looks like it belongs in a candy store. Hopefully tomorrow I will make some serious progress and [...]
That’s right. Today is one of those rare double days off. I get the day off because it’s my scheduled day off plus it’s a holiday so I get the day off.
At Blue Cross [my former employer of 7 years from 95-02] I would get an extra day off when this happened, but in ministry [...]
Tonight is the 7th of the 8 Crazy Nights series. As I write this the early arrivals are enjoying xbox, NES, and PS2 all throughout the building.
8 Crazy Nights has been a success, but I am tired. I long for some days off at grad school where I can be alone and not have to [...]
Every time we have a youth event or even church I am getting a massive headache.
Why am I getting headaches? Well, it has to do with how I am being treated by the people of the church. I love them, they seem to love me, but I am just getting overwhelmed by their constant talking [...]
I can’t figure this out completely but my new gmail account is getting loads and loads of SPAM. Thankfully, it is pretty much just harmless advertising and doesn’t seem to be anything damaging, it’s just annoying to look at.
As of right now, since Sunday I’ve received 1052 SPAMs. If I needed a loan or movie [...]
I’m not sure if refelting is a word, but the Light Force pool table got refelted today. One of the deacons who had seen it done once really made it happen. I just kept him company and looked pretty.
Now I just have to get around to sanding, filling some holes, and painting it. But at [...]
I suspect this may be 100,000-150,000 by the time it’s all said and done.
The eerie sight of dead bodies being buried in mass graves littered TV screens yesterday. Is there any amount of relief that can relieve this terrible suffering?
A couple of things worth noting:
My mutual funds are kicking ass: It feels good to see that our retirement account is going up like crazy. Finally, a little relief after a couple of down years. We even started diversifying a little and I picked a really undervalued one. I hope 2005 is a good year [...]
Two wonderful saints just dropped by the church. I don’t think I’ve ever met either of them before, but it was a pleasure to meet them.
Both of the ladies names were Elizabeth. (A name I am partial too, the two women in my life share that as their middle name!) This mother/daughter combo is full [...]
Apparently not.
Life is full of tough decisions. The longer I am in ministry the more I respect the will of people. If they decide within themselves that they will sin, not even God can stop them. It is a mystery to me that God can create individual DNA stamps for every living thing, can build [...]
