Scientists?

No comments

I was reading Christianity Today and saw an article about a girl still in high school made a major scientific discovery and is being published in a peer-review journal. So this made me think about the debate I had a while back about what a scientist is. Is she a scientist? She made a fairly [...]

Car Woes

No comments

Driving in to work today I noticed more noise coming from the car when I hit bumps. Run out to get a shake a McD’s and notice my muffler is hanging sideways. Look under the car. The hole in before the Catalytic converter is no longer a hole….it is a complete break in the exhuast. [...]

Schmelzer Collection Complete

No comments

I renamed everything, I got it all sorted, and into series and everything. I now have over 130 Dave Schmelzer sermons and about 178 total Cambridge Vineyard sermons. All captured on my Ipod. If you want them, I can drag the Ipod around this weekend, and we can work something out. Be warned…if you have [...]

Steinberg

1 comment

Ben Steinberg (a.k.a. the Bald Kid) emailed me last night / this morning. Everything is so drastic in his life. He feels something at all, he runs with it, or shuts down his emotions. Most the time he shuts down anything that isn’t absolutely necessary in his mind / heart. I know what that is [...]

What to Say

No comments

Well, I’ve been starring at this screen for while thinking I want to write something, but not being able to figure out what. After our big to-do Sunday I pretty much crashed out. Then I got yelled at for not paying enough attention to Lauren. I hate getting yelled at for this. So, from that [...]

Service 1 Done

No comments

Well, we finished our first official public church service. It was pretty cool. About 35 to 40 people showed up including the team. I ran sound, that went OK. I was able to get a better sound out of it this week than last I think…which is probably to be expected since we have about [...]

Fasting for Fun and Profit

No comments

K, so this is actually becoming a very interesting fast for me. I was wanting to mostly keep to myself about it, so I don’t come of like “HEY! look at me, I’m hungry” or something, so don’t take it like that. But I am finding some interesting stuff out. Fasting sux less than I [...]

Fasting 101

No comments

Well, day two is come and gone. It would be nice if I got a good sense of when I can stop this fast. But basically I heard (I think) that I need to just deal with it, and be happy…even rejoice that I get to suffer like this. So, besides that I basically heard [...]

Struggles

Yesterday the SuperBowl made me really miss C-U. I’ve had more good times watching football in that city than probably anywhere else in my life. Between the “Dance of Infinite Joy” and its horrible crashing ending, the Bears season tickets w/ my best friend, and the TW5N SuperBowl parties I can barely remember a bad [...]

K, So I’m sick and freaking tired of renaming and retagging mp3′s I download from various churches websites. Schmelzer is about the worst, sugarland vineyard is probably the best so far. Here is a simple guide to naming your sermons you put online. 1. Unless you have sermons online from prior to 2000, your naming [...]

Need a bit of gmail help

1 comment

I and my wife forgot her gmail address, and I didn’t send her the invitation for it. So if you remember giving her the gmail invite, even if you don’t, do a quick check of your gmail contact list and see if there is one on there like “hopelark” or “waitingforson” or something along those [...]
