What Has Today Brought?

I’d haveto say that all-in-all it was a decent day. I would have preferred to get a bit farther along in my data-entry, I spent a good portion of the day generating mailing lists. I would have to say that about the best parts of today were getting up early and having some good devotion time and breakfast before I headed off to work. I think both of those things have proven to make my mornings more productive. This evening wasn’t too bad. I didn’t get quite as much accomplished tonight as I had hoped but I did manage to have a rather tasty steak and potato supper, I also began creating an actual budget I hope to be sticking by. This was a huge eye opener. I didn’t realize how much I sort of relied on the side jobs I always seem to be getting, I thank God for knowing what I need. I’m pretty sure I’m going to have to cut out one additional trip home this month, and I’m still not certain how I’m going to pay for everything when I head out to MI. I’ve pretty much figured I’ll be sticking to a lunch of popcorn for quite some time. I’ll probably have to bring back the glory days of Ramen as well. I’m fortunate that I’ve got a good supply of meat that should get me by for quite some time. Gotta get myself some of the other dirt cheao meals like oatmeal & pancakes. It’s not like I can’t stand to lose a few pounds anyways, so it’s not all bad.

So, of course my whole life isn’t revolving around money. Well, what else consumed my evening? I ran over to my boss’s house for a bit to help him get Linux booted up on an old computer of his. It didn’t take me too long to get it going. I’m glad to have found that the wireless equipment I setup for him awhile ago was working great with the Linux LiveCD distro. Tried using the Ubuntu disc but found it was an install CD not the live CD. I pulled out the next-in-line which happened to be another sweet Linux live CD distro call Mepis, it took off without a hitch.

The rest of my evening consisted of the budget work and talking online with Vanessa. For those of you that don’t know, how could that be, Vanessa is the one I’m currently dating. It’s a rather complicated long distance relationship at the moment, but on the good side it means more flying and most of all getting to know one of the most wonderful women I know. I really look forward to getting some opportunities to introduce her to my friends and family. I’m quite certain they will like her as much as I do. 🙂

Well, it’s getting late and I’m going to tackle some reading before my head hit’s the pillow. On the bright side, I did get a post in for all your enjoymeny, lol. Valete!

    God is Awesome, of Course…Today Life is Grand Too!

    Ok, so today was a pretty excellent day. It’s amazing that God can be so good to us despite our downfalls. Well, this morning I found out something pretty crazy. One of my matches on eHarmony just happens to be someone that I at least know of. I can’t recall actually meeting her at anytime. The thing of it is that I have worked with her sister. And I know her Dad. She’s not a paying member of eHarmony but that’s just fine. We’ve already started to chat a little on MSN. I don’t know where this will lead if anywhere. I have no expectations but I’m looking forward to getting to know her. I already know enough about her that I know I’m looking…

    So What’s Been Going On…

    I think I’m going to work my way back on this one. I’ll start with today and work my way backwards. (ok, as I start I realized it’s much easier to start at the beginning of a day and work through it, so this is going to be kind of weird to follow, oh well) Before I begin I have to say, the saying that “dogs are a man’s best friend” is so true. My dog Sweetie is so awesome. Show me a cat that picks up on the meaning of “It’s time for bed”. Dog’s have all the smarts, they’re awesome. Today I was able to get up at like 5:30, and this gave me a good amount of time. I did some devotions…

    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.

    Forgive Me…

    I wrote this some time ago. I can’t find my recording of it so looks like I may be re-recording it. Forgive Me Words & Music by Timothy J Nolte V1: Oh Lord, I had walked with You. You guided me, You led my feet. I let go of Your guiding hand, And slowly drifted away. Chorus: Oh Lord, please forgive me. Oh Lord, I need You in my life. Oh Lord, please forgive me. Oh Lord, I give to You my life. V2: Oh Lord, I saw Your servant work, Your wondrous power, Your healing words. I felt Your calling in my heart, And I yearned to serve. V3: I come to You a broken man, I fall before Your Holy throne. In Your…

    Your Attention Please…

    (Exodus 3:1-5) So God used a burning bush to get Moses attention. What does He use today to get our attention. I’m reminded of something a pastor said recently, “can we hear God’s whisper in this loud world?”, can we? The world that we live in is definitely busier and louder than in Biblical times. It took a burning bush even then to get Moses attention. Are we ready and willing to hear the whisper of God as He speaks to us? One of my favorite songs right now is “Praise You in This Storm” and part of the chorus goes: As the thunder rolls, I barely hear your whisper through the rain, “I’m with you” That thunder is the things of this world, and…

    A Post, A Post, At Last A Post

    So what have we been up to, well when I say we I mean me. So life has been a little crazy this past week, although I don’t expect it to calm down anytime soon. I’ve got a lot of things to do by this weekend. I’ve got a load of photos to scan and some more video to import. I don’t think I’ll be getting the Cantata CD’s done by Christmas, oh well. Ok I guess I’m getting a little ahead of myself. How about we go back to last week. So my last post was Wednesday. That night was youth group and the whole youth praise team was there to lead music. We were even able to get everything setup in the fellowship…

  1. Ahhh….that’s slightly disturbing from a girl’s point of view…Personally, I’d be happy that Tim thinks that Vanessa is a wonderful woman. Sorry Alex!
