Congrats Peter & Becky…

Well, I headed down to the Twin Cities today for Peter & Becky’s wedding. I’m glad I gave myself plenty of time. I kind of got lost but still made it an hour before the wedding. I got to see some former camp staff I haven’t seen for awhile. It was fun to reconnect with people again. Greg & Janet sat next to me at the wedding and I got a little caught up on what’s been happening at camp more recently. The wedding was great. I do have to say though that weddings are getting hard for me. Genesis 2:18 was referenced a lot today, which is fitting for a wedding. However, for a guy in my situation, it’s a hard thing to listen to. I’m not going to go off on that whole subject. That comes up enough on here.

So after the wedding I headed off to the reception. So of course I get briefly lost again. I was reminded again why I don’t like driving in the Cities. I finally did get there right on time. I sat with Kim & Ole, Sarah Haugrud & Tracy (a camper, Sarah’s friend). There were empty seats, so I’m not sure if there were other camp people that didn’t make it. It was nice to catch up with those guys. Krista came by the table of course, I’m sure she misses her sister. It was fun to visit with Krista a bit too. She’s not online much so I only chat with her once in a while. We had our salad and then after a good wait we finally got to make our way to the buffet. Great food! When it came time to have cake Krista decided to serve it up, it was a chocolate cake at our table, so I passed on it. Some may not know it but I’m not a big fan of chocolate. Well the cake instructions were to share among the tables, so I grabbed a non-chocolate piece from the neighboring table. I felt bad that I did though. Krista was so sweet to go get me piece. She still remembered that I didn’t really like chocolate. Her & Becky always made a point of trying to leave out the chocolate when they were my assistant cooks.

Well, when it came to the dance time I decided to hit the road. I quitely really like dancing, but I’m just too shy to get out there. I’m going to have to wait with the dance and see if someone comes along that I can actually dance with. That wasn’t the only reason I decided to head out. I had a good long drive back to Fergus and with church I didn’t want it to be too late. So that’s about all my day was about. On the ride back I had a lot of time to just think about things. Some of which I’ll be posting in my first private blog page, things I’m just not ready to share with the world.

The private blog page will be good for me, because it will give me a place I can write and not worry what people might think, as they won’t be seeing it. Honestly I’d like to just put it out here for everyone to see, but these thoughts concern some pretty intimate feelings, that I just really don’t want people sticking their noses in. It could also make someone upset if they read it, and I don’t want that to happen. I’ll perhaps give certain close friends access to it.

Well once again the night comes to and end…chow!

    Seeking God’s Direction When Looking Out On The Horizon

      Both my wife an I are going through a low point where neither of us feels we have clear direction on where we are headed. Specifically, where and how we are to be serving. I thought I had some clear direction but a week ago that all seemed to change. I’m finding myself questioning a lot of things right now. It’s difficult to weather the storm when things start to fall apart. One thing is clear though, that no matter where in the journey we find ourselves God is right there to walk with us through it. We’ll see what this next season brings for our family. One thing is for sure, given that both my wife and I feel like we are at…

    Moving On From A Marathon…It’s Really Not About Me

    So today is the 2nd day since completing the marathon, and unfortunately I find myself in more of a discouraged state than in celebration of my accomplishment. There are many things going through my head, many thoughts that cause me to be more disappointed with marathon Sunday. Nothing played out like I had hoped. I ended up coming in behind most of all the other marathon runners from our group despite leading the pack throughout training. I didn’t get to cross the finish line with my running partner, or my kids. I ended up walking most of the last 4.5 miles. I ended up going to the medical aid tent after crossing the finish line. I have no photo of me crossing the finish line….

    In The Beginning

    (John 1:1-14) – John starts out describing a little about what the beginning was like. The Word was another name given to Jesus. It’s interesting that John starts out this way. It is very clear that the importance is placed on this description to setup the rest of the book. Jesus claimed he was God, was equal with God. The very fact that he also had the name of the Word and that these verses explain exactly was Jesus claimed is not insignificant. Jesus Christ always was and is equal to God the Father & God the Holy Spirit. John 1:12, this is a very popular verse. It explains the truth that all those that believe in Christ and follow Him become apart of God’s…

    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…

  1. LOL, no not shutting anyone out. There are just some thoughts that I realy don’t feel like the public at large should see. I’m pretty transparent on here most of the time. There is simply one area that I just don’t think I can be that public with. I’d share them with certain people if they asked about it.
