A Little Life Update…

Well, I have to say that life is still kind of up and down for me. I’m beginning to realize that being busy is probably in my nature. As I think back to my high school and college days, I remember being a pretty active guy. And to think I have shy tendencies, lol. I would have to say I’m far from being the guy in the middle, I’m the guy that is at both extremes at the same time. What and interesting combination that brings, lol.

I’m finding it nice to pretty much have all my projects for people done. I’ve got another that will be starting, a missionary promo, but I don’t expect that to tak too much time. My big project, that I’m having a lot of fun with, is the whole podcast thing. I’ve gotten some encouraging and help feedback from people. I really can’t wait to be joining the podcasting community. I don’t really know how large my listenership will really even be. I guess I’m really hoping that it starts to expand beyond just the people I know. It’ll mostly start there, but I really want this to me another ministry tool. Time and again I get a sense of calling to bring Christ into the online world. I really believe that the online world is so much farker than we even realize. The worst of it all is that our young people and living online more and more. I just hope I can be used by God to bring a little glimmer of light to that world.

Well, tonight was a youth group night once again. It was a rather strange night. Everyone seemed to be a bit rowdy and not all there. The music went so-so, I always have such high expectations for the music. I just let it go and hope that God can still use it. I wouldn’t ever claim to be a great, or even good, praise team leader. I’m just making myself available to God.

Well, in a little over a week, I head to the Twin Cities to spend a weekend with Vanessa. I haven’t talked about her much, if at all really. Neither of us really knows where things may head, if anywhere really. The distance has been a concern for me, as most of you might have guessed. At this point and time my primary focus is on God’s leading, for my entire life not just with Vanessa. Her and I have talked about this, and I think she is thinking in those terms too now. I think was is most hard is that both of us would like to get to know each other much better and see if there is a shot here for something more, but it’s a little hard to actually spend time hanging out. I know that God has a plan for all of this, and so long as we continue to be focusing on Him, He’ll reveal things as we go. Like I’ve hear it said many times, His timing is not always our timing.

Well, I’m calling it a night. I kind of felt a bit behind in the blogging. One slight issue I have is that I’ve actually got like 3 blogs to keep up with now. There is this one, a second one that Vanessa and I are using to kind of share thoughts with each other, and then there’s the podcast/blog. This may not allow for me to post eveyday to all of them, however, I’m hoping to get into a bit more regular blog posts. There may even be a little bit of cross-posting that’ll happen too I suppose. Till later!

    Completed My First Marathon…

    Today was a pretty big day for me. I completed my first ever marathon. It was a tough day, with the down pouring rain, wind gusts of 20 some miles per hour, and getting cramps in my legs that slowed me down, I ended the race pretty discouraged. Not to mention I ended up having to be taken to the medic tent after crossing the finish line, which was something my running partner and I had talked about not wanting to have happen to us. Let’s just say it was a pretty humbling experience. I’m so thankful for all of the encouragement from the many Hope Water International runners the kept encouraging me on the way to the finish line. I especially appreciate Ron Bussa and Nick…
  • Life is Grand…

    Well, I was doing some chatting with a good friend online earlier today. It kind of came to mind that it would appear my life is consumed with eHarmony and my quest to find that special someone. Anyways, of course this is not all that encompasses my life. There is more, here is what I said earlier: I was just thinking to myself that I haven’t been very diligent in writing in my blog what God has been teaching me, there is really more going on for me spiritually than what is seen in my blog. God has been teaching me a lot through my reading and having daily time with Him. This eHarmony/relationship thing has really been a smaller part of my life, even…

    The Keyword is “Since” Not “If”

    As a follow up to my previous post it’s important that we remember that everything we are called to do as a Christ follower is in the context of “since” and not “if”. What’s the difference? If we have the thinking, “if someone is doing ‘x’, or not doing ‘y’, they can’t be a believer”, we are basically inferring that someone has no faith or belief in Christ because of their actions. That’s a pretty big leap, and a sure fire way to further the view that Christians are righteous, judgemental, hippacrits, essentially modern day Pharisees. As we dig into the New Testament we’ll find it’s very clear that as a result of being, or “since” we are, Christ followers there should be a lot…

    Choosing A Life Of Integrity

    Integrity is not defined by proclaiming to be honest; it’s defined by the choices we make. When it comes to integrity, our words have to match our actions. We can’t just say we have integrity. We must choose it. – A Life Of Integrity Life is all about the choices we make. Some of those choices seem easier than others. Three hard choices are the ones that really test your integrity.

Because he believed Saul had God’s backing and David’s first loyalty was to God. – The Men of the Bible Devotional: Insights from the Warriors, Wimps, and Wise Guys by Compiled by Barbour Staff.

    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.
