Moved In And Lovin’ It

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 highway. After getting through that things went ok, other than taking a longer way around Chicago to avoid heavy traffic and construction. I think Chicago is the only big problem with the travel between here and MN. Too bad it couldn’t be transplanted somewhere else, lol. 😛

We got in at about 1:30-2:00 am Saturday and got the care off the tow-dolley and the freezer unloaded. We got a bit more sleep before beginning the unloaded process at 10am. Things went really smooth. way better than the unloading process. Vanessa’s parents and brother came over to help unload as well. That was suck a huge help. After the truck was unloaded we spent some time unpacking, Vanessa went and got Chicken Lickin’ for lunch, it was might good eaten I’d have to say. Afterwards we did a bit more unpacking, ran over to Vanessa’s to do some laundry and check email, and then took a break for a bit.

Saturday night we all headed over to the beach for a picnic supper. We walked out the the pier and along the beach. I’d have to say that I think our parents get a long very well. Our mom’s were kind of off in their own world at the beach. We ended the night with stopping over at Vanessa’s parents house to see some lettering tht Vince (Vanessa’s brother) had done on their wall. It was excellent what he had done. It was all the words that are Fruits of the Spirit. We headed back home and called it a night. My parents decided not to stay for church as they really needed to get back at a somewhat decent time. It sounds like they might try to come out in August sometime. (note: my parents called me while I was blogging and they discovered that by taking a somewhat different route that they were able to make better time. So now they know, it’s a bummer as they could have stayed for church but so it goes.)

So I’m actually at Vanessa’s no updating my blog as I don’t have any internet at my place yet. Hopegully I will get something setup this week. Well, I’m going to called it good for now. I’ll be doing my best to continue to keep you guys updated with my new life out here in MI. Thanks for all the good times and memories. I hope that some of you can come out to visit sometime. My house is always open to any of you. We’re going to try to get bcak out there at some point. tata!

    We All Need Support From Others

    Today God opened my eyes to the current state of my life, and the need for the support of people who love me. It can be the most humbling thing to ask for help, I have felt that tonight. My inability to say no, and my drive to please the world, have brought me to a place where many aspects of my life have suffered. I haven’t had the time needed for quality time building relationships that count. If committed to things and let people down. I’ve let the things that I’m doing push out my time with the Lord. I felt the affects of all of this. I have two special people that love me and continue to look out for me. I’ve let…
  • DISC and Colds…

    Not going to post much today. We had a seminar on DISC profiles today at work. It was good to understand our own personalities and how we should interact with others of different personalities. I didn’t end up going to Fargo, I need to get some rest and didn’t want things to get too late getting home. Although it’s late now, I’m heading to bed soon. I did get together with John & Anders and we watched The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy it was funny to watch again. It’s on my list of movies to purchase. I think Anders has convinced me to read the books. I got notice that my new digital camera should be here Tuesday. I’m excited to start getting out…

    Love Your Enemies…

    Matthew 5:44 – So I happened to read a regular text entry on a Podcast that I subscribe to. This Podcast is like an audiobook, actually this is his second book. Well it would seem his site, with posts and comments, was hacked. This in and of itself isn’t a huge deal, except for the fact that the person doing the hacking is claiming to be apart of the cummunity of believers in Intelligent Design. It rather has me annoyed at how twisted people’s thinking get when it comes to their beliefs. How any true Christian can think that by attacking the non-Christian masses is going to be an effective witness is beyond me. How many converts did the Crusades see? I’m sure there were…
  • The Other John

    (John 1:15-28) – One thing that can be confusing wen you are reading through the Scriptures is the fact that the same names are used in more than one context. Here we’re reading the book of John and right at the begin he begins talking about John. The John that is talked about here is actually John the Baptist who, if you read more of the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, & John) you’ll find out is actually Jesus cousin. Now John the Baptist was called by God to go ahead of Jesus and prepare people for his coming. John was a pretty wild looking guy and got pretty riled up when speaking about Jesus coming. Since he was baptizing people the Pharisees were pretty interested…
