Dance, Dance, Dance…

I know that I haven’t posted in awhile. And I know that my last post, that some may have seen, was a not ans exciting life update post. I haven’t forgotten about the blog world, life just sometimes gets away from you. My podcasting days come back to mind every now and then too. I really think that if I’m going to get back into the podcasting I need to come up with a solid plan for organizing each show.

Vanessa and I have just completed the 4th week of our dance class. We’ve learned both the waltz and the foxtrot so far. We had so much fun tonight, especially whiel practicing before class at my house. I love all the laughter we share. We’re not doing too bad, the key of it all is practice. I think we may need be sure to consider keeping up on practicing even after the class is done. I’ve bought some waltz, foxtrot, and swing music that we can dance too so we have what we need to practice. The only thing that we run into, quite literally actually, is not having enough room. Actually, as I just thought about it, we should really use Vanessa’s basement to practice. πŸ’‘

Well, other things in life…work is going good. I do enjoy my job quite a bit, but there are things that do frustrate me at times. I’m pretty sure that is the case with all jobs really. There does seem to be a lot I need to learn yet. Learning is good.

I’ve been pretty involved with church too. I’ve been running sound for Splash, I’ve been working on a new bookstore website, and I’m a part of a small group that meets every couple of weeks. I really enjoy the series we’ve started in small group. I am hoping to start getting to know the others in the group though. I’d be nice to have some sort of social gathering. I haven’t exactly found someone in the group that I click with. I guess it has partly to do with finding that common ground of interests.

This Thursday I’m hoping to attend a meet up that just started for playing board games & card games. I found out about the group through Meetup.com where you can find other people in your area with simliar interests. I’m hoping to start playing some Settlers with this group.

Well, the time is ticking away, off to bed I need to be heading.

    Youth Group Kickoff…

    Well, today work was pretty normal. Nothing too special. We had the youth group kickoff and things seemed to go pretty well. I got over to the church about 5:15 or so to get the sound system & projection equipment all setup. I worked on fine tuning OpenSong a little during break at work and then finished up with adding some announcements Andrew had. Maralee was willing to run presentation. My only problem with OpenSong thus far is that it has slow transitions. I still think it’s a pretty good tool for free on the Mac. We had a good intro meeting as small group leaders. We’ve got a great group of leaders this year, we always do, it’ll be fun working with them. The…
  • Haven’t Posted in Awhile…

    I haven’t posted in awhile, something I must work on as usual. Seems like these days I’m so terrible with keeping in touch with people. This isn’t the way I’ve wanted it to be. I seem to constantly struggle between holding on to the life I once led and pushing forward with the new life God has given me. As this new year has begun I’ve had some opportunities to reflect on my life, and how God has changed it in a huge way. A little over a year ago I would have never guessed that within the next year God would bring an amazing woman into my life and lead me to change almost my entire life. God is so good, and faithful beyond…

    Women’s Roles in Church

    (1 Corinthians 14:26-40) So as read the topic title for my devotions this morning I thought “Ah, something good today about worship”, but as I got to the third paragraph I couldn’t believe what I was reading. This is what is says: “(33b) As in all the congregations of the saints, (34) women should remain silent in the churches. They are not allowed to speak, but must be in submission, as the Law says. (35) If they want to inquire about something, they should ask their own husbands at home; for it is disgraceful for a woman to speak in the church.” As I read those words I found a passage that seems to be used in many church, even my own historically. The thing…
