Work... What is it good for?

Work... I wonder what goes through people's minds as they take that first step into work? I know what goes through my head. That lovely tune they call "the funeral march". Maybe it's the fact it is dark outside when I arrive. Maybe it is the thought of "it is only Tuesday". Typically that feeling disappears when the work day actually gets going. Some people at my job have been here for decades, literally.

The few moments before work is a time to inhale bad coffee and dr.pepper. A time to anticipate the day and the "FUN" that will begin.

This thought was brought by observing the zombie like creatures as they enter the gates of another days work.

A fresh start

It's a new year, new state, new job and a new church. Time for a fresh start. Refocus and look for God's opportunities.

The Resurrection of the Blog!

Well, I have been inspired to bring back the blog. Look for post to come. I currently do not have Internet at home right now. Yet, fear not... I will find a source. Stay posted!!!

Fatherhood

well, its been awhile since i posted anything... going to try to keep it up this time. its hard when you have no time.

Fatherhood... man i was scared to be a daddy. so much responsibility!! but it happened on December 24th and i couldnt be happier. i love her so much. her name is Norah Elizabeth. you may ask why that name, well... Norah because we really like it and Elizabeth after my grandmother. it has definately been a ride and it will never be the same. she hasnt slept a whole lot during the night. which stinks for us, but i dont mind it as much. Amy has been great in taking care of her during the night. Project Nativity has been crazy to prepare for so it has been alot of late nights and i have been exhausted!! I love my Wife! i know she will be a great mother.


i wont go into too much detail about the night Amy went into labor, just that it was a stressful week and the mucus plug popped earlier than expected. crazy experience... but really cool at the same time. God has been so great to us!!

its been really cool to be a daddy so far, i look forward to the diffrent stages of life. well its really late and it was a crazy day getting ready for Project Nativity! will continue...

Be Doers of the WORD

As I set here drinking a cup of Chai tea, and pondering on the days events. I find myself overwhelmed at all the tasks at hand. I think of the busyness of life, trying not to stray from the goal at hand. which of course is to share the gospel with others. this task, or calling to all belivers is a something that isn't getting fullfilled. I take a self evaluation and dig deep inside to find out the problem. I don't look for excuses, but the real problem, so it may be fixed and the cause of Christ may continue. CARING! PASSION! LOVE! these 3 things have really been brought to my attention. not only in my life but others need to get back or get too having these 3 things for God and others. we live in a society that promotes pride and "its all about me" mentality. this is a dreadful problem for believers. remember we are not of this worls anymore, but in it. we need to focus and be that salt and light that we are. well... more to ponder... more to come.

good quote!

in the " audels carpenters and builders guide" in the front is a really good quote... makes me think how I work on something. " when we build, let us think that we build forever. let it not be for present delight nor for present use alone. let it be with such work as our descendants will thank us for; and let us think, as we lay stone on stone, that a time is to come when those stones will be held sacred because our hands have touched them, and that men will say, as they look upon the labor and wrought substance of them, " see! this our father did for us"

Tired

I am sooo tired. lots to do. have you ever got to the point where you were so drained and you couldn't think? I feel that way right now. I know personally some people that are having it worse right now. so I don't want to seem like im complaining, which I guess Im doing. just need to get that out so I can pray and chew on it for awhile. if you are having a bad day, week, month, year or just need to vent... post it here. or even if its just a prayer request.
