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!

    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…
  • What Is A Church?

    As given to me by someone else: A church is a local expression of the global and historical body of Christ where: ¬∑ People intentionally share life together. It is a spiritual community where life‚Äôs resources are joined together, people are expected and are equipped to be vulnerable and accountable with one another, and the community and the needs of those inside and outside the community are met. (Acts 4:32-34, 2:42-47) ¬∑ Worship is experienced. God is central, God‚Äôs worth is lifted high, and Jesus is worship as God. It brings people into the meeting of heaven and earth, and calls the believer to live life for the reality that awaits. (Romans 12:1-2, Rev.4:5-21) ¬∑ Ministry takes place. Ministry is a natural outpouring and result…

    Seeking God’s Direction When Looking Out On The Horizon

      Both my wife an I are going through a low point where neither of us feels we have clear direction on where we are headed. Specifically, where and how we are to be serving. I thought I had some clear direction but a week ago that all seemed to change. I’m finding myself questioning a lot of things right now. It’s difficult to weather the storm when things start to fall apart. One thing is clear though, that no matter where in the journey we find ourselves God is right there to walk with us through it. We’ll see what this next season brings for our family. One thing is for sure, given that both my wife and I feel like we are at…

    Thankful During The Storms

    It’s easy to be thankful when things are going good, even though I think we forget to be. It’s an even greater challenge to be thankful in the storms of life. If we would only take time to be be thankful, and to show appreciation for others, lifr would look very different I suspect. Be thankful in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you who belong to Christ Jesus. – 1 Thessalonians 5:18 NLT
