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!

    A Verse That Describes The Church In Kathirie Sierra Leone

    β€œThey are being tested by many troubles, and they are very poor. But they are also filled with abundant joy, which has overflowed in rich generosity.” – 2 Corinthians 8:2 NLT This morning at Daybreak this verse was one that was part of Pastor Wes’ message. As it was being read I instantly began remembering my experience at the Sunday morning service in Kathirie. As I watched the church members give the morning offerings, giving not only to the general offering but also to a building fund and missions, I could only think about the amazing work God was doing in the village.
  • Busy Times, Time is Short

    So these days have been busier than ever. It’s been LB Convention time this week, and I’ve been putting in some full days for that. Tomorrow after work I head down to the Twin Cities for the night, and in the morninig begin my trip out to Michigan. Every day, and every week, I see my time hear coming closer to an end. I’m constantly torn between feelings of excitement for what God has to come, and sadness when thinking of all the people that I’ll be leaving behind. I don’t know what God has in store for me. What I do know is that if God says “go” then that is what I must do. There is of course more to this than simply…
  • 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…
  • Our Purpose…to Glorify God…So Are We?

    While I read my devotions this morning I was faced with the question “Am I Glorifying God with my life?”. What does that look like? I want nothing more than to be in God’s will everyday of my life. How is this playing out in my work life, or in my relationship with Vanessa? What I hope for today is to begin a process of evaluating each day in light of God’s purpose for my life. My life is best kept in His hands and not my own.

    What’s The Latest?

    Well, so what ever happened to the daily wisdom that I would bring to this thing they call the internet or blog-o-sphere? Well, sometimes life just makes a lot of demands on our time that we just can’t do anything about. Today I managed to finally get the new Faith & Fellowship Bookstore website online. This has been a long awaited task. There are some features that still need to be put in place but things changed along the way that will cause those things to require a different approach. On the personal front, things between Vanessa and I got all straightened out Monday night. It was a rather mixed up mess that we got ourselves in but it was definitely a growing point in…

    Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.

    (Proverbs 27:1-3) What a day today was. Surprises at every turn. So this morning I used my “snow blower” for the first time. I’m sorry to say (Mom & Dad πŸ™ ), that that thing is not much more than a gas-powered shovel. I think I could have do it by hand faster. Well, can’t complain about the price I guess. Got to work with an unplowed parking lot, but behold there was 1 clearly open spot for me to park, yeah! It was nice to have gotten up at 5:30 again. I was feel pretty good today, pretty much back to my old self. Well after continuous looks at the UPS package tracking it appeared that I wouldn’t get my new PowerBook until tomorrow….

  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.
