A Time of Pruning…?

Well, it sure seems like I’ve entered into a time of pruning. I got an email tonight that someone has been hired to redesign and take over the camp website. I really haven’t been involved with it much the past year, but it seems like my involvement with camp is coming more to a close. I still have mixed feelings about this. When you give so much towards something and then not be apart of it anymore it’s just kind of a strange feeling. I really hope that they will be served well.

I’m kind of feeling a little lost now. I’m so used to having a load of things to do. If I don’t have a project to work on I’m not sure what I should be doing. I suppose I can start working better at taking care of things around the house. Who knows, perhaps God has something big in store for me soon and is clearing the way. I guess this is a time of pruning for me.

Paintball with the youth has been canceled tomorrow. So I guess I’ll be taking care of stuff around here. I’ve got a load of leaves to clean up. I think I might try to get together with Andrew Foss tomorrow and talk about music at youth group. Although, I’m thinking that I’m going to have plenty of time to continue doing that.

So I was a little curious, so I set my match settings on eHarmony to give me matches for the entire world. Well let’s say I’ve got a total of 9 matches. This kind of made me chuckle, and kind of confirmed some of my thinking. It would seem that I probably have a pretty unique personality, and that I have perhaps a small box of requirements for someone to fit into. I’m really not interested in any kind of long distance relationship. There is a match with someone in Alexandria, but I don’t know how good of a match it is from what I read initially. I’m not sure I want to be spending $50 to find out.

Well, I don’t have much else to talk about tonight. I’m tired and need to get up at a decent time tomorrow. Chow!

    iTunes 5 Not Ready for Prime Time…

    So I got home tonight and wanted to checkout the news from Apple today. I saw the ads for the new iPod Neo and the iTunes phone. I also saw that there was a new iTunes 5. I went to Software Updates and upgraded my iTunes, I’ve done this in the past without problems. Well it totally messed up my iTunes Library along with my Podcast subscriptions. Popped on over to the Apple Forums and of course a lot of people are having this problem. Well I made the decision to revert back to iTunes 4.9. It took a little but to track down an iTunes 4.9 installer. Got it downloaded removed iTunes 5, along with all my iTunes receipts, and restored my iTunes Library…

    Serving Others

    God has given each of you a gift from his great variety of spiritual gifts. Use them well to serve one another. – 1 Peter 4:10 NLT  Sometimes I think we lose sight of how God intended for us to use our gifts. If we are using our gifts to serve others, not just the church or ministries, we are doing exactly what God has called us to do. Christ came as a servant, as an example to us how we should serve others.

    When Storms Test Your Faith

    I can honestly say that both my wife and I are going through some difficult storms in our lives right now. Many days come that cause me to have no option but to trust that God has it handled even though I feel like things are out of control and falling down all around me. I can say that I have still seen God come through, especially in the case of my Mom’s seizure, brain surgery, and recovery. I don’t know when the “other side” of all this will be seen but I know God is bigger than me.

    A Day of Blessings…

    Well today has been such a full day of blessings. The sermon this morning, given by President Egge, was on generosity and not just about giving money, but the generosity that Christ showed to all through time & help. It was really good to hear about being generous in all areas of your life, following Christ’s example. Our LifeShapes study was excellent as well. Today we went through the hexagon, which focuses on prayer, and using the Lord’s Prayer as the model. While it gace and guideline, it also showed the vast ways that guideline can be worked out in our prayer life. Something that has brought me more in tune to a better prayer life is being open to the Holy Spirit’s leading in…
  • Prayer — Petra

    First I want to thank You Lord for being who You are For coming to the rescue of a man who’s drifted far For calling me to be Your son and calling me to serve Lord the way You’ve blessed my life is more than I deserve Keep the ones I love so dearly, Fill their emptiness while I am gone, And fill the loneliness in me Chorus: This is my prayer, Lifted to You, Knowing You care even more than I do This is my prayer, Lifted in Your name, Your will be done I humbly pray Let me be the evidence of what Your grace can do To a generations struggling to find themselves in You May they come to know the love…
