Wasteful Weekends, Geeks…Gotta Love Em

So yeah, I pretty much wasted the weekend away again. Not totally, but I could have done a lot more than I did. I guess I sort of get tired of doing stuff, like work, all the time and want some time to just kick back and relax. I’m feeling like I’m kind of spinning my wheels with the web job. I really like to nail down the site design before I do the custom programming stuff. The problem is they’ve given me hardly anything to work with. Well Monday will have to be a big day to work on getting stuff going. I guess I’m going to worry less about the design and make sure the funcitonality is all there.

So yeah, not much happened on Saturday, but Sunday was a pretty eventful day. I was ont for playing guitar on the worship team. I think it went pretty well. The only problem was in a couple of changes that were made that I would have like to have had more practice with. I’m finding that I’ve been kind of lazy with doing a lot of open chords rather than full bar chords. I should really work on that more. I also need to work on learning the string notes too so I can more easily find the proper bar chords.

I did kind of miss going to the Life Shapes study this week. I’ve been reading in the book so thats good, but it helps more to actually talk with people about it. I’ll be back with the group next week.

So tonight went to Big Harvest Buffet. Got a ride with John & Caristy, Rud was along too. That’s who I sat with. It was pretty great to hear about the ministry going on in China. There is a lot of work to still do there, but God has been opening some huge doors. There are shor-term groups going every summer now. I’ve kind of got the bug to check into this. It got me thinking more about being apart of an outreach ministry of some sort. I’d really like to use my gifts to really reach people. I know that God is using me where I’m at right now. I just wonder if I ought to think about full-time missions work. I actually got to thinking about how effective an internet outreach ministry could be. There are so many people, especially youth, on IM & doing blogs. This could be a way to find and connect with people.

So on the way home Caristy asked me about doing some network stuff for them. I guess they’ve got some trouble with being able to share printers and be on the internet. I don’t think it would take much to look at. I told them either $25/hr or just feed me a meal. I was more-or-less joking. I don’t mind giving a hand to friends for free. During the conversation it came up that Jeanette didn’t have a printer, guess she would go up to John & Caristy’s to print. Well I’ve got two un-needed printers right now so I was more than happy to offer one to her. She opted for the inkjet. Rud was interested in the laser printer. I think I’m deciding to trade the laser printer I have with Home Missions, rather than just give them the print server, and then I’ll give Rud the HM printer. That way I’ve got that print server laying around in case another need comes up for it. I’m guessing Rud has no need for a print server on the printer, and the printer I have is designed for the Mac too which might work better for HM.

Well, I decided to get a little more exstensive with categories on the blog. As I see more-and-more blogs, most people categorize their blog entries as a way to tag them as well. I can then activate the Technoratti category tag plugin and it can use my category tags for that purpose too.

Well, it’s way late, and I need to get my but out of bed in the morning. On a final note, over the weekend I can across this site: Why geeks make me hot. It’s probably not the most appropriate site. But I liked to see that there are women out there that are looking for a geek. The next step is to find that there is a Christian woman geek out there looking to find a Christian guy geek. God knows if she’s out there, yeppers! Ok, I’m finally going to bed. Grrr, where’s the land of the night people.? Probably the neighbors to the Mole People. LOL 😀 Chow!

    Moving On From A Marathon…It’s Really Not About Me

    So today is the 2nd day since completing the marathon, and unfortunately I find myself in more of a discouraged state than in celebration of my accomplishment. There are many things going through my head, many thoughts that cause me to be more disappointed with marathon Sunday. Nothing played out like I had hoped. I ended up coming in behind most of all the other marathon runners from our group despite leading the pack throughout training. I didn’t get to cross the finish line with my running partner, or my kids. I ended up walking most of the last 4.5 miles. I ended up going to the medical aid tent after crossing the finish line. I have no photo of me crossing the finish line….
  • The First Disciples

    (John 1:35-39) We see here that John the Baptist had disciples of his own. Actually, later in the Scriptures, Jesus gives us the great commission to go and make disciples. Now the disciples that John had were following him, until they heard and saw Jesus. Really, it was John that pointed his followers to go follow Jesus. Something that is interesting, however, is the fact that John calls Jesus the “Lamb of God”. This was pretty early in Jesus main ministry and I wonder how many people really understood what that meant? Jesus being called the “Lamb of God” really meant that he was a sacrifice given by God. At the time most people were waiting for a Messiah to come and save them, but…

    Troubles Help Us To Grow

    For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever! So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever. – 2 Corinthians 4:17‭-‬18 NLT

    More About The Weekend…

    So now my special someone is all the buzz with those that know me. Everyone wants to hear more about how things went, and what the scoop is. I even got asked did you get engaged. The answer to that is no. That is something that is in God’s hands and His timing. Whether He chooses to lead us to that or not I will consider myself blessed to have Vanessa in my life. I think I’ll basically give a recap of my weekend. If you have questions you’re just going to have to ask them. So I took off work early on Friday and headed to my parents. My Mom drove me to the airport and dropped me off. I waited my hour at…

    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…

    Why geeks make me hot

    This post appears on BOTD as Strongest #2.

    In my life I have dated a variety of men. I’ve dated the jock, the good ole boy, the frat boy, preppies, ect. None of these pay attention to a woman’s needs like a geek. Geeks pay very close attention to detail in every aspect of their life. Geeks are much more of a challenge and so much more interesting. Don’t ask “How was your day” and expect just an answer of “fine”. You are going to hear the whole shebang. Geeks will provide you with conversation that will exercise your mind.

    A geek doesn’t try to be someone he is not. When you meet a geek, you know that who you are meeting is who you will know from then on. No personality switches with them. They will only try to impress you with their knowledge. They will love you and only you (well, unless you feel threatened by the newest release of Linux software).

  2. I actually meant that now that I couldn’t get the link to work, I would never find a mate. It was a joke, per say. Get it. Laugh. Laugh at my insecurities. JUST LAUGH WHY DON’T YOU. MY WHOLE LIFE IS FALLING APART AAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHHh so how is life going tim?
