Congrats Peter & Becky…

Well, I headed down to the Twin Cities today for Peter & Becky’s wedding. I’m glad I gave myself plenty of time. I kind of got lost but still made it an hour before the wedding. I got to see some former camp staff I haven’t seen for awhile. It was fun to reconnect with people again. Greg & Janet sat next to me at the wedding and I got a little caught up on what’s been happening at camp more recently. The wedding was great. I do have to say though that weddings are getting hard for me. Genesis 2:18 was referenced a lot today, which is fitting for a wedding. However, for a guy in my situation, it’s a hard thing to listen to. I’m not going to go off on that whole subject. That comes up enough on here.

So after the wedding I headed off to the reception. So of course I get briefly lost again. I was reminded again why I don’t like driving in the Cities. I finally did get there right on time. I sat with Kim & Ole, Sarah Haugrud & Tracy (a camper, Sarah’s friend). There were empty seats, so I’m not sure if there were other camp people that didn’t make it. It was nice to catch up with those guys. Krista came by the table of course, I’m sure she misses her sister. It was fun to visit with Krista a bit too. She’s not online much so I only chat with her once in a while. We had our salad and then after a good wait we finally got to make our way to the buffet. Great food! When it came time to have cake Krista decided to serve it up, it was a chocolate cake at our table, so I passed on it. Some may not know it but I’m not a big fan of chocolate. Well the cake instructions were to share among the tables, so I grabbed a non-chocolate piece from the neighboring table. I felt bad that I did though. Krista was so sweet to go get me piece. She still remembered that I didn’t really like chocolate. Her & Becky always made a point of trying to leave out the chocolate when they were my assistant cooks.

Well, when it came to the dance time I decided to hit the road. I quitely really like dancing, but I’m just too shy to get out there. I’m going to have to wait with the dance and see if someone comes along that I can actually dance with. That wasn’t the only reason I decided to head out. I had a good long drive back to Fergus and with church I didn’t want it to be too late. So that’s about all my day was about. On the ride back I had a lot of time to just think about things. Some of which I’ll be posting in my first private blog page, things I’m just not ready to share with the world.

The private blog page will be good for me, because it will give me a place I can write and not worry what people might think, as they won’t be seeing it. Honestly I’d like to just put it out here for everyone to see, but these thoughts concern some pretty intimate feelings, that I just really don’t want people sticking their noses in. It could also make someone upset if they read it, and I don’t want that to happen. I’ll perhaps give certain close friends access to it.

Well once again the night comes to and end…chow!

  • Start Out Another Week…

    Well, as it would happen I’m actually getting another post in. My hope was to get back to posting daily. In a sense I sort of have been posting daily, it just happens that it hasn’t been on here. I’ve been posting daily devotional thoughts over at the Faith Shaping website. I do want to attempt to get regular weekly posts at the very least. This past weekend I had a nice visit from my parents. I invited them up for a weekend just to hang out. I was kind of hoping to give them a break from things back home too. We had a nice weekend of just hanging out and playing some games, chatting, and did more shopping than I could have guessed…
  • The Goodness of Things…

    So despite the disappointments that come my way. Life is good. At times I wish for things I think would make life better: more friends my age, my dream job, more money, a significant other. Today God has reminded me of all the blessings he has given me: my job, the friends I do have, exactly enough money to take care of myself, and a relationship with Him. I know I can seem like the most unhappy, unsatisfied person when you read my posts. Things aren’t usually as bad as I might make them sound. My biggest struggle is this whole area of relationships. Satan knows this is my button. He manages to push that at every opportunity. Well, I have great friends that continue…
  • I’m Bad With Relationships…

    I just can’t seem to understand why I’m so bad with keeping good relationships. Is it so hard to just pickup the phone? I can only figure that I’ve been so used to have so much time on my own that when I’m not with Vanessa I just feel like doing my own thing. At the same time and can’t wait for the next time to spend with Vanessa. I can’t wait for our trip to MN to see so many that I haven’t seen for so long. At times I feel like I’m constantly torn between the relationships that I’ve seem to have left behind and trying to start new relationships here. I’ve never been very good with the whole thing of keeping in…

    Just Another Quick One

    So it won’t be long, of course it’s getting late again. Well I think I can count like 5 books I’m now in the process of reading…probably going to add another couple more before the month even starts I think. I’m sort of overwhelmed, but at the same time I’m kind of happy to actually be doing some reading. When I was a lot younger I used to read a lot. I remember buying books from the book clubs all the time. In those days I read some fantasy books, but I read a lot of mystery type books. Some of those that topped the list were the Hardy Boys and books that had X-Files type stories in them. The books I’m reading now aren’t…

    When God Calls for Patience…

    I’ve been caught up tonight in some major Google searching. “For what” you may ask, “where is God leading me?”. The realm of my searching was community of faith, postmodern youth outreach, and reading some about the idea of the emergent church. What does this all mean? I have no clue. I feel an urgency to move (not just location), and for making great changes in my life. I’m searching to find out what’s next. I’m finding that perhaps God is calling me also to be patient and let Him reveal this change to me in His time. I kind of feel like it’s a bit cruel to be called in such a way but then asked to wait. I know, of course God is…

    Major Catch-Up Coming…

    Ok, so I’ve been pretty out of it blog-wise the past week. It’s not so much an issue of not wanting to blog. It’s just an issue of having the right time to do it. I’m thinking I’m going to work in a good chunk of time tomorrow to catch up on everything that’s been going on. I think my problem too is that I really like doing my post right before I go to bed. This is good and bad as my day is done but I usually spend a good chunk of time writing and don’t get to bed as soon as I really need to. I’m going to leave with at least one topic posted… So a match has been found on…

  1. LOL, no not shutting anyone out. There are just some thoughts that I realy don’t feel like the public at large should see. I’m pretty transparent on here most of the time. There is simply one area that I just don’t think I can be that public with. I’d share them with certain people if they asked about it.
