What Have I Gotten Myself Into…?

OK, let’s recap the day first. Got up at 5:30 this morning. Had some good time before work. I still really feel getting up at 5:00 would be better, I just can’t get to bed very early, grrr. Work was good today. I feel like I’m finally getting caught up with stuff. Yes! That’ll probably jinks it, LOL. I’m finding that I’m going to have to do some research to find a better system for the free church websites we’re providing. I might have to do something custom, so long as it’s easy to use. Overall a good day. It was nice to have some extra time today before youth praise team practice. The practice went pretty well. Some of the songs are new so it makes it a little harder for them. I’m going to be sure to try and do all songs they are familiar with for the next set, maybe one new one.

Well, in reference to the title…I’m getting a little freaked out with this whole eHarmony thing. So I decided to widen my match settings to about 300 miles. Well this brought 3 new matches. And one of them began going through the communication steps with me. I’m freaking out cause what do I do. I’m not the kind of guy to consider persuing a relationship with multiple women, and see which one “works out”. This is way new territory for me. I guess it’s ok to get to the point of a first meeting with any number of matches as the physical meeting, and time together, will help to determine if anything is worth persuing. Problem here is I’m the guy that can’t even get up enough courage to ask a women out for a date. LOL, I just thought of something funny. Perhaps this God’s way of making me realize that this while area of my life is still totally in His control. He’s probably laughing at me right now, in a good way of course. Well, I guess what did I expect? Actually, what I did expect was nothing. I kind of figured I had to strange of a personality, and “specs” for a mate, that the system couldn’t find me a match. Well, I guess I did adjust those “specs” a little. Well, we’ll see where this all leads. Well, I need to hit the sack. Chow again. Boy it feels good to be blogging a little more regularly again. Yeah!

    Seeing, And Meeting, The Needs of Others

    Responding to the Needs of Others Around You I have, at times, been cognizant of the needs of those I’ve been in connection with. Most often the help has come by way of financial assistance. There have been other times that non-financial needs have arose and I’ve responded, but those times seem to have been in the minority. Being Intentional About Seeing, And Meeting, The Needs of Those Around Us We are called to not only help our brothers and sisters in Christ, but to help all those in need around us. I’m reminded of the book the 10 Second Rule. There are so many needs all around us. How often do we simply turn a blind eye all because of our own selfish desires?…

    Youth Group Kickoff…

    Well, today work was pretty normal. Nothing too special. We had the youth group kickoff and things seemed to go pretty well. I got over to the church about 5:15 or so to get the sound system & projection equipment all setup. I worked on fine tuning OpenSong a little during break at work and then finished up with adding some announcements Andrew had. Maralee was willing to run presentation. My only problem with OpenSong thus far is that it has slow transitions. I still think it’s a pretty good tool for free on the Mac. We had a good intro meeting as small group leaders. We’ve got a great group of leaders this year, we always do, it’ll be fun working with them. The…

    Devotions for Sacred Parenting – Day 7: A Season of Sacrifice

    “Our kids, by their existence, make a legitimate spiritual claim on our time, our money, and our focus.” – Devotions for Sacred Parenting by Gary L. Thomas I was challenged today in how I approach being a Dad. Too often I choose to focus on everything but my kids. Our time is too short with our kids, and there will be years ahead when we will have all kinds of time to pursue other things. I will say that this is one of the reasons I wake up at 4am some days to get a run in as I make an effort to not let my running negatively impact my family. #parenting #sacrifice #responsibility

    Hardships…Who’s to Blame?

    (Exodus 5:1-23) Initially it would seem that Moses and Aaron weren’t helping matters each time they talked to Pharaoh. The Isrealites even blamed them for making things harder for them. How did Moses and Aaron take that? Well we know that at least Moses in turn decided to blame God for what was happening to the Isrealites. It might seem that both the Isrealites and/or Moses were correct in placing blame, however they were wrong as God had a plan for it all. I think about when things, even small things, don’t go our way we so easily look to place blame. I think it can be so easy for us to lose sight of the possibility that God is working. We can never fully…

    When Storms Test Your Faith

    I can honestly say that both my wife and I are going through some difficult storms in our lives right now. Many days come that cause me to have no option but to trust that God has it handled even though I feel like things are out of control and falling down all around me. I can say that I have still seen God come through, especially in the case of my Mom’s seizure, brain surgery, and recovery. I don’t know when the “other side” of all this will be seen but I know God is bigger than me.

  1. Ummm….I’m impressed that you are up at 5:30 am. Yuck!! My eyes really don’t even like 6:30 am. But I guess that will change!
