Weekend Recap…

Ok, so I guess I took a break from the whole blog thing, sort of. Basically I ended up adding some additional features and tweaks.

I never did get to see any friends. Oh well, hopefully another time. Sunday, my family and I headed off to the Minnesota State Fair with my aunt and uncle. My sister invited two friends so they basically went off and did their own thing. It started out with kind of crumby weather on the way, but it cleared up by the time we got their and started walking around. I can’t say that I say anything exceptional. Did visit the technology building (surprised?! LOL), and Unisys had some pretty cool bio-metric stuff they were showing off. HP was there with SolidWorks but I really didn’t play around with it much. Had all of the good fair food of course. Had my cheese curds & mini-donuts. Registered to win a few things: iPods, Eagle boots, Harley Davidson motorcycle. I haven’t heard anything today so I’m assuming I didn’t win anything. We got home about 8pm, didn’t really do anything once we got home.

Monday, was another day of sleeping in, got up around 11:00am. We did pizza for lunch, then everyone was trying to decide what to do. We were thinking about going to a park but not sure where. Found that there was a free Labor Day picnic on Hariett Island in the cities. Garrison Keillor was supposed to be there, but we didn’t get there until close to the end. He was there at the start. We spent about an hour there while a string concert was going on. We walked the dogs around the park. We headed back to Le Sueur and basically I packed up to go. We went to DQ for supper, I got mine to go, and got on the road back to Fergus. Didn’t get home until like 11:00pm.

So headed off to work this morning, of course I was up late as usual, and I didn’t get into work until a little after 8:30am. I try everyday to try to get in by 8:00 but I hit the snooze too much. It would help if I didn’t stay up so late too.

So of course, trying to get back in the swing of things after the weekend menat not getting as much done as I would have hoped. That’s a never ending battle. I always have huge expectations for what I want to get done. Back to mostly record keeping tomorrow. Got home around 6pm, did some supper, and then worked on some webcam stuff & blog & mostly getting music together for youth group. I haven’t gotten in contact with all the youth yet. I figure I’ll use tomorrow night as an intro or spring-board into forming the team for this year.

I’ve decided I’m going to try to use OpenSong on my Mac. It’s a lot like EasyWorship and MediaShout. Doesn’t have all the bells and whistles but it’s pretty functional for free. We’ll see how it works. I need to make sure we can have use of the old projector at church. I’ll need to be sure to di this right away in the morning. If the old church projector isn’t available I might see if I can borrow the CLB projector at least for tomorrow. I don’t have transparencies prepared for this, I suppose if I needed to we could do music in the sanctuary. I’m going to need to make sure I get out of work early and to the church to get everything setup. Hopefully my amp is still there all in one piece.

Well, there’s a lot more that’s coming to mind that I could write about but that’ll have to wait until tomorrow, eyes are getting heavy. Till later…

    Well, today has been an interesting one. It started with the guys not showing up at Perkins this morning. Oh well, I understand it’s early for them. We’ll work something out on Wednesday. My day at work was pretty good. I got a lot done. I had a good chat with Ginny over IM during lunch. She knew I was going to Grease on Sunday.

Got everything taken care of and hopefully things will be working a bit better for them. They treated me to a good home-cooked meal and some nice conversation. I got back home and checked email. I…

    So What’s Been Going On…

    I think I’m going to work my way back on this one. I’ll start with today and work my way backwards. (ok, as I start I realized it’s much easier to start at the beginning of a day and work through it, so this is going to be kind of weird to follow, oh well) Before I begin I have to say, the saying that “dogs are a man’s best friend” is so true. My dog Sweetie is so awesome. Show me a cat that picks up on the meaning of “It’s time for bed”. Dog’s have all the smarts, they’re awesome. Today I was able to get up at like 5:30, and this gave me a good amount of time. I did some devotions…

    Quick…New Calendar

    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…

    Being The Kind Of Man God Calls Me To Be

    During this past year I’ve been focusing my devotion time on studying about the kind of man, husband, father, that God wants me to be. This is a daily challenge to say the least. Bible.com has a bunch of good devotionals of varying lengths with this focus. I just finished day 15 of the @YouVersion Plan Man Up. Check it out here: http://bible.com/r/9O

    Gracious And Attractive Conversations

    Live wisely among those who are not believers, and make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be gracious and attractive so that you will have the right response for everyone. – Colossians 4:5‭-‬6 NLT As believers we are called to speak with grace and love to those that are non-believers. We cannot hold a non-believer to any calling that God has made, that is not our place.

    God’s Timing…Not Ours

    (Exodus 11:1-10) Looking again at the story of Moses being used by God to bring the Isrealites out of Egypt, we can see that things didn’t go as the people, or Moses, had hoped. God, however, had a perfect plan in mind. I’ve talked about it before, but once again I am reminded, that in all things God has a plan for us. I really like both Proverbs 19:21 and also Proverbs 16:9, they both make it very clear that even though we may have something in mind, it’s ultimately God who is in control. It can be very hard to accept God’s control and plan for our lives, especially when we have to deal with tough stuff. It can be very easy for us…
