Weekend of Rest and Learning

Well, I have to say that it has been a pretty nice weekend of rest. I know that I haven’t been as regular in the blog posts. I’m still going to have to work to remedy that. I’ve actually half thought about adding an audio component to my regular blog. Since I’ve got this podcasting equipment it seems a shame to only be using it once a week. Also, I’ve gotten so many comments about my voice, why wouldn’t people want to sit and listen to me ramble. LOL 😛

I’m pretty sure I haven’t mentioned it, cause it’s been a few days since my last post, but on Thursday I had the opportunity to place a Skype call to Africa. I used a piece of software called Soundflower that creates a software audio device. I was able to then route the outgoing sound of Skype into my sound recording app. I was able to get it setup so that I could monitor everything, but still only actually record the other side of the conversation. I was originally planning on using Gizmo to place this call, only to find that Gizmo blocks calls to the country I was calling in Africa. BTW, this call was place for a project I’m doing. I won’t talk about it on hear much more as I don’t want information getting out there. You can ask me directly about this if you want more details.

Between last weeks podcast, and this weekend, God has been revealing some things to me. I’d encourage anyone to go over and listen to my podcast.

Well, this coming weekend I’ll be spending in the Twin Cities with Vanessa. I haven’t talked about her much as I’ve been trying to keep the speculations to a minumum. Neither of us really knows where this will lead. Our focus is putting Christ first in our lives, then building a friendship, and only God knows where things will go from there. I’ll have pictures to post from the weekend. And an incentive for people to listen to the podcast, I guess, is that I’m planning to have her on next weekends podcast as my guest. For the inquiring minds, this will be an opportunity for you to get to know her a little. I’m not sure when others will be able to meet either of us, as in her getting to know my people and visa-versa. There is a distance aspect that really makes things a bit more interesting.

Anyways, the Faith Shaping podcast made things a bit later tonight. So once again I’m up way later than I should be. So I’ll be leaving things here for tonight. Valette!

    Where’s The Line…Freedom in Christ or Good Witness

    (1 Corinthians 14:13-25) In my devotion time today, Paul was again talking to the church in Corinth about matters of witness to unbelievers and escentially the freedom found in Christ. The problem for the early church, and I would say that this problem has not gone away, was that for the unbelievers (or even weak or new in faith) there were things that they didn’t understand which easily turned them off to Christianity. The hard part comes in that God has called us, as Christians, to be different than this world. While we are to be different we are also to do so, not in a way that turns people away, but in a way that draws other to Christ. There comes decisions which have…
  • The Goodness of Things…

    So despite the disappointments that come my way. Life is good. At times I wish for things I think would make life better: more friends my age, my dream job, more money, a significant other. Today God has reminded me of all the blessings he has given me: my job, the friends I do have, exactly enough money to take care of myself, and a relationship with Him. I know I can seem like the most unhappy, unsatisfied person when you read my posts. Things aren’t usually as bad as I might make them sound. My biggest struggle is this whole area of relationships. Satan knows this is my button. He manages to push that at every opportunity. Well, I have great friends that continue…

    Weekend Recap…

    Ok, so I guess I took a break from the whole blog thing, sort of. Basically I ended up adding some additional features and tweaks. I never did get to see any friends. Oh well, hopefully another time. Sunday, my family and I headed off to the Minnesota State Fair with my aunt and uncle. My sister invited two friends so they basically went off and did their own thing. It started out with kind of crumby weather on the way, but it cleared up by the time we got their and started walking around. I can’t say that I say anything exceptional. Did visit the technology building (surprised?! LOL), and Unisys had some pretty cool bio-metric stuff they were showing off. HP was there…

    The Christian Responsibility to the Oppressed

    – These days there is a lot of talk about the less fortunate and especially the oppressed. It’s very clear from Scripture that as Christian’s we are to defend, and stand against the oppression that we see. To be clear, however, any stand that we make needs to follow biblical principles, not the rights that the world has made up. Unfortunately, following biblical principles is not how the world wants Christians to stand against oppression.
  • Only A Weekly Post It Would Seem?

    So what takes up so much of Mr. Tim’s time that he cane only find the time once a week to post on his bloody blog? That’s a good question. While it would seem that in an effort to simplify my I’ve managed to make it slightly bit more complicated. What is the one greatest thing that can complicate a man’s life? Take a guess, and I’ll only give you one try. A woman always complicates life, and yes that has what’s complicated mine. And you know what, I say bring on the complication and piles of it! I know some of you are aware of this special someone in my life, and you are all dying to meet her. Well, I’m dying for everyone…

  1. That’s ok – Veronica was my sister’s name – I’m used to being called that. Even my parents would call me Veronica sometimes.

    Tim – what is Valette? You use that a lot and I guess I don’t know what that is.
