Busy Night…Small World

ByTim Nolte
1 Comment
Well, today (er, I guess looking at the time I have to say tomorrow), it was a pretty slow day at work. Had a fun time talking about bread with a co-worker, she has like 3 bread machines, seems like her family would have bread coming our of their ears. From the conversations in the break room today you could definitely tell it was a Friday. After work I stopped at the seminary to meet with Phil to talk about a projector installation project. This will probably be a side job, which means some extra cash. It shouldn’t take too much to get a list of the equipment needed and do the install.

I decided I wanted to get over to the play at “A Center for the Arts”. There were 4 youth involved in it from youth group. They did a really excellent job. It was basically the story of the Princess and the Pea as a musical. It had some pretty funny parts. If anyone close might be reading this before the Saturday night show I would recommend going.

Well when I got home from work I actually got a call from Ben about taking in a moving. I had already talked to John Olson about going to the play so I didn’t want to change those plans. Ben was looking to go to the 9:45 showing of the new Harry Potter movie. I decided why not make it a full night, and a late one at that. So I went to Harry Potter. I’ve only seen one before this one, I think I was told it was number two. I’m not really into Harry Potter, but it was a good movie.

Well, the final thing of the night. Another eHarmony match is originally from Fergus Falls. This is too crazy that I’ve now been connected with two people that were from Fergus but are now living near or in the Twin Cities. One concern I sort of have is age I guess. The honest truth is I’d be more inclined to persue a relationship with the older of the two, one is 22 and the other 25. Age isn’t really a concern for me except that I only wonder if I would be able to connect with someone that is closer in age to myself. Well, we’ll see where God takes me in the eHarmony ride. The issue I feel I face is how can I pursue getting to know both of these people. I guess there should be any reason why I can’t, except for perhaps if one of these were to ever become more serious. I guess for now there is no reason to worry about it. Whatever God’s lead is in this will be evident. Well I need to get some sleep. Signing off…

    Quick…New Calendar

    ByTim Nolte
    Thx Google for all the neat tools they keep pumping out. I’m now using Google Calendar slightly integrated into my blog. Should work ok. I’m feeling the itch to get back into blogging and podcasting…we’ll see what the schedule brings. I’m also thinking it might be time for a WordPress upgrade and site redesign/makeover. I may even go so far as bridge the gap between my blog site on the Tim blog. Perhaps I’ll bring the designs of the two inline with each other and distribute the content logically between them as well. We’ll see what I feel like doing, let alone have time for. I’ve been feeling for some time that my blog site really kind of got out of hand with so much…

    Hardships…Who’s to Blame?

    ByTim Nolte
    (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…

    What’s Up With Me Today…

    ByTim Nolte
    Of course, anyone that read my blog earlier, or will read my earlier post, will know that my day started out kind of crappy. Let’s just say that my mind and emotions got the better of me. Thanks to God for great friends and encouragers. I’m not sure if perhaps Caristy read my blog and told John to invite me out with the seminary students for lunch but it made a huge difference in my day. I won’t doubt that this was just God at work. I also got some very encouraging words from Cassie, thanks. I kind of shared breifly tonight with Andrew about the issue I have, and what caused all my problems this morning. Here it is for all to see. I…

    My Beautiful Birthday Girl

    ByTim Nolte
    On Saturday I had the pleasure to take my very special girl, Vanessa, out for a dinner cruise on Lake Michigan. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset, dinner, and a little dancing. I enjoyed every moment celebrating the day with Vanessa. I don’t know if I can really express how much I care for her. I can honestly say that I don’t think I can imagine a life without her. I’m always in awe at how great God is to have brought us together. A year ago I never would have thought I’d be living in Michigan and have such an amazing woman in my life. Life has been a little out of the ordinary lately. I ran sound again this week for Splash, it was…

    The Keyword is “Since” Not “If”

    ByTim Nolte
    As a follow up to my previous post it’s important that we remember that everything we are called to do as a Christ follower is in the context of “since” and not “if”. What’s the difference? If we have the thinking, “if someone is doing ‘x’, or not doing ‘y’, they can’t be a believer”, we are basically inferring that someone has no faith or belief in Christ because of their actions. That’s a pretty big leap, and a sure fire way to further the view that Christians are righteous, judgemental, hippacrits, essentially modern day Pharisees. As we dig into the New Testament we’ll find it’s very clear that as a result of being, or “since” we are, Christ followers there should be a lot…
