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!

    More About The Weekend…

    So now my special someone is all the buzz with those that know me. Everyone wants to hear more about how things went, and what the scoop is. I even got asked did you get engaged. The answer to that is no. That is something that is in God’s hands and His timing. Whether He chooses to lead us to that or not I will consider myself blessed to have Vanessa in my life. I think I’ll basically give a recap of my weekend. If you have questions you’re just going to have to ask them. So I took off work early on Friday and headed to my parents. My Mom drove me to the airport and dropped me off. I waited my hour at…
  • 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 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.

    When Life Get’s Busy, When Life Get’s Complicated

    Well, it’s almost the end of the month, but getting a post in now will still technically meet my hope of once a month right. I don’t have a lot of time…ha that seems to fit in nicely with the title huh…anyways, as it goes things seem more complicated these days as well. I find that it is so easy to fill up life with so many things, and really I’m not even talking about time wasters either. This past week Vanessa and I celebrated out 4th anniversary, though it seems crazy that it has even been that long, time flies. What stinks though is that over the past few days I feel like I’ve hardly seen my wife. It really isn’t as bad as…

    Katrina Victims, In Our Prayers…

    I was listening to a Podcast yesterday on my way to my parents(surprise..lol), and one comment that was made on there was how the online blog community hasn’t been as active, concerning the Katrina victims, as they were after the tsunami hit South Asia. I was working on my blog, man I’ve been working a lot on it lately, and saw TWiT’s support right on their homepage. Now I know very few people will be visiting my site, most don’t even know about it, but I wanted people that do visit to know, that as a proud member of the blog community, I too am concerned with the tragedy down south. I would encourage those able to give to please do so. More later…

  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.
