Another Good Day…But I’m Tired

Ok, I’m straining to keep my eyes open here. I’m going to have to make this a quick one if I can. I got up this morning only to find I was out of grits. Yeah you heard that right grits. I’ve gotten on this grits kick. It’s pretty much like Malto-Meal [edit (11-12-05): grr, look what happens when you’re half asleep and blogging. It shouldn’t have been Malto-Meal but Cream of Wheat] which I’ve like for as long as I can remember. So I snagged a leftover roll at work when I got there this morning. I was pretty tired most of the day. I haven’t been getting to bed as earlier as I’ve needed to this week. I guess between the eHarmony, blogging, and IMing I haven’t been getting to bed. Also I’ve been trying to make a point of reading before I got to bed too. Well it’s all catching up with me. We had a lunch at the office today which was excellent, it was either that or popcorn again at home. Yeah, that’s right I’m back at the popcorn for lunch again. It’s cheap and fills me up enough during lunch.

Well, after work I had a little time before meeting Crowser at Pizza Ranch for supper. I got online and played a quick round of Sea3D, which is basically online Settler’s. When I got to Pizza Ranch I found that Andrew was sitting with Gene (and his wife, can’t remember her name, doah) & Todd. They both work with the youth group at Stavanger. I met them both when I had the game night at my house. It was fun to visit with them. I actually was commended for my desire to hang out with the youth outside youth group when I can. Gene jokingly asked what it would take for me to work with the Stavanger youth. No big head here, I’m a bit humbled really. In all honesty I think this is what working with youth really needs to be about.

After Pizza Ranch, Crowser and I headed over to John O’s for Settler’s. It was a good game but Crowser had only played once before. We kind of ganged up on him cause he decided it would be fun to place the robber on us. I got pretty close to winning again but John came out and won. I took Crowser to a friends house then went back to John’s to play a game of Carcassonne. After that I was off to home.

I pretty much got ready for bed but as you can see I didn’t make it to sleep. I got online quick then decided to check a couple things online. Already told her this, but I was kind of hoping to catch Sarah online. Yeah so I’m a dork. Well, she did pop on and we chatted a bit. Sounds like the performances have been going really good. The shows have been sold out, and they are doing and extra show tomorrow. I’m going to have to get tickets ordered tomorrow for Sunday or I won’t get in.

Well, that’s the short of it, or as short as I could get it, LOL. Chow!

    Great IM Converstations…

    I had some excellent IM conversations tonight. Was talking with Ginny and catching up to what their family has been up to. Sounds like Jim is getting steady business. He’s been doing a lot of work for Wells Fargo. And the home schooling has been going good too. We ended up talking about relationship stuff. This was partly due to the fact that I brought up the subject.

    First Day in Sierra Leone

    I had a great night’s sleep at the hotel. Where we are staying there are multiple buildings of rooms. Each of us has our own room and bathroom. I was honestly blown away with the accommodations. As I mentioned to my wife, I was humbled by the accommodations compared to living conditions we passed by on our drive to the hotel the previous evening. After breakfast, which included eggs, toast, fruit, and a hotdog, we loaded up in the World Hope vehicles on our way to Kethirie for church. It was so amazing to experience worship with the people of Kathirie and listen to the pastor and children’s ministry teacher give messages. What impacted my the most was seeing the people of Kathirie giving offerings…

    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…

    Seeing The Light…

    Since I’m still up, oh boy, let’s get a quick post in. Well, I’ll have to say that I’m beginning to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’ve got only one project I’ll be working on this week. I’m hoping to have that finished up by weeks end. The next step will be to take a break and just be social. I had a good time tonight visiting with some friends that were in town. Darren’s Mom & step Dad live right across the street. I’m going to have to plan a trip to visit them this spring. I didn’t get a chance to play with little Dane, so there’s another reason to visit. Well, the weekend was mostly used to work…

    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.

    The Call to Being Generous

    If we consider how generous God was to give His son to die for us, his call for us to be generous in our giving pales in comparison. I’ve heard it said, by Robert Morris I believe, that we can’t out give God. I’m always challenged in the area of generosity, with even my time and care for others not just my finances. I am blessed to have a wife that has a generous heart to help challenge me and counter my weakness in this area.
