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. 💡

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.

  • Start Out Another Week…

    Well, as it would happen I’m actually getting another post in. My hope was to get back to posting daily. In a sense I sort of have been posting daily, it just happens that it hasn’t been on here. I’ve been posting daily devotional thoughts over at the Faith Shaping website. I do want to attempt to get regular weekly posts at the very least. This past weekend I had a nice visit from my parents. I invited them up for a weekend just to hang out. I was kind of hoping to give them a break from things back home too. We had a nice weekend of just hanging out and playing some games, chatting, and did more shopping than I could have guessed…
  • Where’s My 48 Hour Day?

    The semi-circle, working from rest, following your purpose, and bringing calm to life. It seems nearly impossible to not get caught up in the crazy & busy world we live in. Even in ministry there seems to more things to do, or that could be done, then there is time. None of these things are bad, and it feels like they are so important. In the whole scope of it all, the things we spend our time on can feel pointless in terms of enternity. I have things I would like to do for myself, but those things tend to get put aside so that I can try to “do it all” for others. It seems like a blessing and a curse. And then you…

    Giving Up Control

    “Don’t run ahead of God in your own strength, but rather trust Him to show you the solution.” I think this is one area that, as Christ followers, we all struggle with at times. I know that daily I need to give up control and let God lead. Then the LORD said to Joshua, “See, I have delivered Jericho into your hands, along with its king and its fighting men.” JOSHUA 6:2 NIV

    New House…It’s Remodel Time

    So this Monday we took possession of our new home. While technically it was move in ready it needs a lot of updating. So we have 3-4 weeks before we need to be out of our rental and we’ll be working away to do as much remodel work as we can before we officially move in. Last night I got the range hood removed and counter extension removed. Tonight I checked the measurements of the new over-the-range microwave and what work was going to be involved with getting the cabinets modified and the microwave installed. I’ll post later once that project is in full swing. The main focus tonight was getting the old fridge and stove moved out and checking into the water situation for…

    Being The Kind Of Man God Calls Me To Be

    During this past year I’ve been focusing my devotion time on studying about the kind of man, husband, father, that God wants me to be. This is a daily challenge to say the least. Bible.com has a bunch of good devotionals of varying lengths with this focus. I just finished day 15 of the @YouVersion Plan Man Up. Check it out here: http://bible.com/r/9O
