I’m still at the ECE shops right now. I’m tired, and I’ve been working on this since 11AM, well over 12 hours now. We fried a bunch of stuff not to long ago, broke a sensor, and now for some reason my microcontroller randomly resets whenever I read inputs from at least one of the [...]

Well, I have been joking for a good long while that I was going to pray that the water at my reception be turned into beer. Now I 100% believe this is possible, and I’m now taking the step to saying that I’m serious about it. That is right, I’m going to pray that the [...]

As I mentioned before I’ve been reading a community on LJ called Challenging God and there is a recent post that caught my attention. (You really need to read the persons story in there to get what I’m going to talk about.) I got to thinking along two different lines about this topic, so I’m [...]

OK, so I rambled about some negative stuff yesterday, so today I’ll try to be (slightly) more positive. I’ve made no secret of the fact I’m reading Irresistible Evangelism which is a pretty good book by some Vineyard guys. This is a great book. It is not terribly well written, and like many other Christian [...]

So Jeff has been posting some interesting stuff on some theology things that he has been studying, and I’ve enjoyed responding, arguing and critiquing other peoples arguements, which I always do because I like to debate things (except no one critiques me back, which kinda sucks because I would like to know where I’m screwing [...]

OK, so I put the l33t speak in the title, I apologize, but I had to get your attention. Now that I have, RSVP you silly fools. We need these things in soon because we need to order food. If you are pretty sure you are coming tell us you are, so we can plan [...]

Also known as the veranda, the bridge, the watch tower, and the duck watching station. We like to go out on the fire escape while our older co-worker smokes and we talk about things. Lately it has been very much about how we are going to start pirating. And I don’t mean stealing music, or [...]

I had an idea during the conference after I saw a Vineyard Music tee-shirt, and I made up a fairly quick…although not quick enough since I suck at photoshop…logo design for the church. I know LeQue made up some really good ones, but I figured “Hey, I’m feeling creative right now….might as well throw another [...]

The conference was totally amazing this week. Some things became much more clear about our movements theological basis, and there were some great tips on prayer. I never thought of just praying the Psalms before, so now I’m doing that, and it is a great way to start my day. Not to mention I’ve been [...]

So, another part of voting that people don’t think about is Voting on the Issues. Most all of us have pet peeves about the government and personal agendas that we feel are ignored by our countries politicians. We all have ideologies that can’t be fully supported by our government in the real world. My political [...]

Everyone around the house is trashing on the slogan on the Mercy Vineyard webpage which is “Mercy Vineyard: a hopeful church.” I’m not a huge fan either, but I don’t think it sucks like they do. But anyway, they are trying to come up with new better ones. So far we have: Mercy Vineyard: we [...]

The election is coming up, and I read a lot of news, and I’ve very interested in the science of politics…i.e. sociology, psychology and what-not, so I thought I would post a guide to help some people who just listen to what the media tells them, and talk a little about the how a two [...]
