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!

    John Confirms Jesus

    (John 1:29-34) So, John didn’t know Jesus really, other than what God had revealed to him. However, the key things that God revealed to him was how he would recognize who Jesus was. We see here that Jesus came to John to be baptized. Even though, as far as John was concerned, he wasn’t worthy to baptize Jesus that is what Jesus required of him. He did this and then John saw first hand the Holy Spirit come down onto Jesus, and this was exactly what God had told John would happen. At that point John had no doubt at all that this was Jesus. He told everyone what he had been told and experienced.

    I Won, I Won…

    Yeah, Dan’s winning streak was finally broken in Settlers, I won the game. It was close, John was one roll away from winning, then he had his longest road taken away. It was downhill from there for him. Getting the longest road gave me the final points needed to win. I didn’t get a post up last night as I was working on getting a blog setup for my sister. Hope this works for her. Well, I need to go warm up the car and get to work. Good day all!

    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…
  • Days of Dancing

    I happy to say that the dancing seems to be going really well. We had our first class last night and we even got a little practice in tonight. Actually, funny enough Vanessa gave me a call tonight right as I was trying to work out some of the dance moves myself. She came over to my place to join me in some practicing. We had so much fun just working on the steps and laughing with each other. I really can’t help but smile as I look into Vanessa eyes as I lead her while we dance. So the verdict comes in, a German man & a Dutch woman can dance together. 😉 Things have been quite crazy as of late. Last week starting…

    Expectations, Communication…When Life Gets Too Busy

    Well I got a rather unfortunate email today. I’ve basically been let go for the website project I was working on. The truth of the matter is there were things that myself and the company that hired me didn’t do very well. I kind of feel a little frustrated as I thought I made myself very clear how busy my schedule was before they agreed to hire me. Apparently I didn’t do a good enough job. It would also seem as though they really didn’t read the contract before they agreed to it. It clearly states what I was expecting. I guess I’m fine with not having to worry about it any more however, I just feel as though they could have done a better…

  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.
