Current Mood:  excitedWell, there is a cat that I can let out of the bag now, that I’m pretty happy to finally talk about. ( Promotions ) ( Tech nerd stuff ) I think that is about it…If I remember something else I’ll post about it.

Understanding Piper

Current Mood: determinedI have listened to considerably more John Piper in the last two weeks than I have before and I have some thoughts to share. ( John Piper and me ) All-in-all, I’m feeling pretty confident about our church-plants chances in the shadow of that big chruch. It is often intimedating to plant somewhere where there [...]

Current Music: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!….I think I broke my cod-pieceCurrent Mood: Silly w/ Whoop-assTo continue in my tradition of comparing stupid things that should never be compared….I think Anikin could own naruto in a fight, and Goku would beat both of them…..

Feeling Kinda Shitty

Current Mood:  tiredWell, lately I’ve been listening to a lot of sermons, and realizing a few things.

On the good side of things, I’m really looking forward [...]

Anyone who wants to catch up w/me in the next two or three hours, give me a call on my cell. TWO One Seven – Three [...]

Current Mood: StonedI’m about to leave work, and I’m high as a kite. They freaking lacqured (sp?) something in another room and it has been stinking the place up for an hour and a half.

( I Can cut my wordpress posts just like this too??? ) Birthday celebrations will begin at roughly 7:30 [...]

So I’m thinking about moving my blog (AGAIN WTF??). Even though I was in love w/ Movabletype for a time I think WordPress may be a better solution. ( Pro’s of WordPress for blogging ) ( Part that I need more feedback on )
