My Beautiful Birthday Girl

ByTim Nolte

Birthday Girl (Vanessa)On Saturday I had the pleasure to take my very special girl, Vanessa, out for a dinner cruise on Lake Michigan. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset, dinner, and a little dancing. I enjoyed every moment celebrating the day with Vanessa. I don’t know if I can really express how much I care for her. I can honestly say that I don’t think I can imagine a life without her. I’m always in awe at how great God is to have brought us together. A year ago I never would have thought I’d be living in Michigan and have such an amazing woman in my life.

Life has been a little out of the ordinary lately. I ran sound again this week for Splash, it was a little crazy once again. Things should settle down eventually once everyone gets in tune with everything that needs to happen. Hopefully the next couple months will start to show some normalcy.

I’ve been kind of struggling with the whole podcast thing lately. I’m finding it hard to have the excitement to get things going. I think in part with so many other things going on the podcast seems like just one more thing to tackle. Perhaps there was a time for that podcast and now it’s over. To begin with my hope for the podcast was to included others besides myself. I’ve always gotten some very good feedback from those that have listened to my podcast. We’ll have to see what God has in store next for my podcast.

Well, I know that this was a very short update. I’m still working on trying to get back into some regular updates. I’d like to get myself back to posting a little of my thoughts each day. I think I’ve perhaps been a little more apprehensive because of perhaps the fear of saying something that would get misinterpreted by people around here that don’t know me very well. It’s kind of strange to feel that way. I used to feel so free with my thoughts. I wish that I could have that freedom again.

I’ll need to be going for now. Until the next post.

BTW, I think I might have finally found a base template that I like. I’m still feeling the need for some heavy customization though. I’m missing some of the little features I had before. Although, I do have to say that things are a bit less cluttered and out-of-hand. We’ll have to see what features I actually bring back.

  • Moved In And Lovin’ It

    ByTim Nolte
    Well folks (readers/freinds) I’m am now know as a Michigander (as Vanessa would call it). I haven’t gotten a new drivers license or license plates on the car but I really do feel at home at the moment. I still need to get myself familiar with the area but I’ve got a map (thx Nessa!) and I’m pretty confident I’ll figure it out in no time. The move went pretty well, all except the long drive, and little sleep, between Thursday & Friday. Thanks to those of you that helped with all the packing and loading. Actually on Friday, on the way through Wisconsin, we got stuck for an hour on the Interstate, as a trucking hauling scrap metal dumped it’s load all over the…

    Mercy and Grace in Relationships

    ByTim Nolte
    “When we allow God’s love and mercy to flow through us to our spouse, we will find less conflict, more grace, quicker forgiveness and much more delight at home.” I know that too often, I jump to conclusions and assumptions instead of giving people, especially my wife, the benefit of the doubt. This an area that has produced far more conflict then it could have had I just executed a little grace and mercy first. We have a God that shows us far more grace, love, and mercy than we deserve. So it really goes without question that we need to attempt to do b the same in our relationships, especially with our spouse.

    Something to Ponder…

    ByTim Nolte
    Devotions this morning says, as Christians, we should not be thinking “I can’t”, at least in following God’s direction. This is so very true, Jesus pointed out what little faith we have, and how little faith it takes to even move a mountain. I think of the times I have thought, “I just can’t do this”, because of circumstances in my life. Shame on me if I’m failing to follow God’s leading. This lead into a four week study on marriage & family. It mentions that a woman ought not to even think about getting involved with a man that isn’t interested in working & obeying God. “Manhood is more than the ability to wear pants. It’s the ability to take devine truth and make…

    ByTim Nolte
    So it would seem that I really lost touch with my blog. I wouldn’t be surprised if no reads the thing anymore, although I do know that some have you have bugged me about it. So what’s my excuse? Life. Yeah, I know that’s a poor excuse but I’ve been bust working away trying to do what I need to do if this move is going to happen. Don’t misunderstand me here…my desire is that God be in total control of all the details, but I am responsible for looking for a job, and doing my part for the sale of my house. Well, here’s a brief recap of the past couple of weeks. Over Memorial weekend I headed down to Le Sueur for my…

    The Christian Responsibility to the Oppressed

    ByTim Nolte
    – 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.

  1. I like your layout… Glad you’re having a good time out there; miss you though. I’m not having as good a time here with you gone. There’s no one to play Settlers with around here; we’ll have to try to line up some time when you, Robbie, and I can play. Though it might be difficult; Robbie and I are quite busy with school.
