Settlers of Catan

Let The Games Begin…

Settlers of CatanWell, I have to say it was nice to be getting back into the swing of playing Settlers of Catan. There was only four of us tonight, verses the regular 5, but it was a good close game all around. Right off the bat I noticed I made a rather major error in the placement of my pieces that kind of did me in for winning.

Work today was pretty good. It never seems like I get everything I want to get done. I did mostly complete one project, at least the biggest part of it. Hopefully next week I’ll be able to wrap that up.

Even though the past two nights, and most likely even tonight, I’ve been staying up way too late, I have been getting my morning devotions in and boy has it made such a huge difference in how my day goes. Now I need to clarify how that might be sounding. I could easily be thought that I’m trying to use God to my benifit. That IS NOT what I’m saying in any way. When we take the time to start our day by placing God first it changes our attitude and perspective for the day. God blesses us when we choose to spend our time with Him, even though we truely don’t deserve it. It so amazing to see how God works in our lives when you put Him first. On the flip side of things, I haven’t been getting much of any reading done at nights before I head to bed. This hasn’t meant that I haven’t been putting God first. I’ve been either sharing, through my blog, about what God has been doing & teaching me, or working on this new Podcast project.

On this subject of the new Podcast, I can’t begin to express how excited I am to give this a whirl. I really want to get all the technical details in place, and all the topic/discussion plans made, so that I can begin on this little adventure. I don’t know where God is going to take me with this but it’s something new, and I’m excited about it. One side benifit in this too is that it’s finally some project that I’m kind of doing for myself. I’m always working on projects for others, and this Podcast will utlimately be for the benifit of other too, but this is something God has given me the opportunity to do, just Him and I working on the production of this one.

I checked with FedEx earlier and my new equipment should be arriving tomorrow. I’m kind of itching to try that stuff out. I’ll have to get a couple of my other projects done this weekend so I probably won’t get to do a lot with the equipment. I have sort of wondered if I should trying doing a recording on Sunday during our Life Shapes meeting. I think I want to hold off maybe a week before doing that. I am also responsible for doing the service recording at church already to I may end up being late to it anyways. As I just looked at the calendar I may have to wait a bit before I get a chance to actually do some recording of those sessions. One thing that I need to plan out it what to do if I’m out of town or just can’t make one of those sessions. I’ve already considered the option of recording more that just those sessions. The other issue is how often I’m planning to produce a Podcast episode.

Anyways, there I went rambling on about that whol thing. Well, as usual my post got rather lengthy. I’m calling it a night. Valette!

    We All Need Support From Others

    Today God opened my eyes to the current state of my life, and the need for the support of people who love me. It can be the most humbling thing to ask for help, I have felt that tonight. My inability to say no, and my drive to please the world, have brought me to a place where many aspects of my life have suffered. I haven’t had the time needed for quality time building relationships that count. If committed to things and let people down. I’ve let the things that I’m doing push out my time with the Lord. I felt the affects of all of this. I have two special people that love me and continue to look out for me. I’ve let…

    Running…My Physical And Spiritual Race

    No, dear brothers and sisters, I have not achieved it, but I focus on this one thing: Forgetting the past and looking forward to what lies ahead, I press on to reach the end of the race and receive the heavenly prize for which God, through Christ Jesus, is calling us. – Philippians 3:13‭-‬14 NLT As I’ve entered into day 3 of my 5K training, more like day 2 but I’m sticking with the schedule, this verse reminds me that there is more beyond just the physical race that I’m preparing for. It’s easy for us to lose sight of how God is working in our lives, especially with how crazy our world is getting. I’m thankful for these reminders and the hope I have in…
  • Been A Long Time

    I haven’t posted on here for so long I’m sure no one is following me anymore. It’s crazy to think that there was a time when I was posting like everyday, sometimes twice. Things are of course different now. I think the thing is that when I was posting before it was all about what was going on in my life. Now my life is not just me but my wife also. I think if I put myself out here, I’m taking her along with me, and I don’t want that. The other problem seems to be finding the time. There are just a lot more important things, like my wife, than blogging. I do try to post little updates on my Facebook or Twitter,…
  • 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…
