Daily thoughts and experiences from my mind and life.
Settlers of Catan
I Won, I Won…
Dec 2nd
Yeah, Dan’s winning streak was finally broken in Settlers, I won the game. It was close, John was one roll away from winning, then he had his longest road taken away. It was downhill from there for him. Getting the longest road gave me the final points needed to win.
I didn’t get a post up last night as I was working on getting a blog setup for my sister. Hope this works for her. Well, I need to go warm up the car and get to work. Good day all!
The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly…
Nov 28th
Well, yes I’m finally posting to the blog again. Trips tend to take me out of the blog-o-sphere. Well, sorry to disappoint many, but this is going to be a short one tonight. I’m not quite out of the dark on the sick feeling that hit me yesterday, pretty close though.
The Good: Had a good time with my family and got to hang out with two of my best friends growing up. It’s interesting to see where we are all at now in life. John’s all married with a baby on the way. Sounds like they’ll be doing some moving around in the years to come. I really hope John’s finds the job he’s really looking for. Jeff is still as quirky as every. John & I agreed we could see him being one of those eccentric professors, this is probably where he’s headed. And then there’s me, you all know where I’m at.

A Day of Blessings…
Nov 20th
Well today has been such a full day of blessings. The sermon this morning, given by President Egge, was on generosity and not just about giving money, but the generosity that Christ showed to all through time & help. It was really good to hear about being generous in all areas of your life, following Christ’s example.
Our LifeShapes study was excellent as well. Today we went through the hexagon, which focuses on prayer, and using the Lord’s Prayer as the model. While it gace and guideline, it also showed the vast ways that guideline can be worked out in our prayer life. Something that has brought me more in tune to a better prayer life is being open to the Holy Spirit’s leading in prayer. It’s also given me what I needed to approach prayer in a different way then what everyone models as prayer. Tonight on my way back from Fargo I began to think of people in my life, things I had talked about with Chad & Laura, and things coming up this week. As I began to think about these things it prompted to pray about these also. I was a wonderful time alone with God just lifting people up in prayer, confessing things in my life, and thanking Him for everything He has done in my life. This was a wonderful way to spend that quite ride home.

Another Quick One…If That’s Possible
Nov 17th
Well, the goal here is to keep it short so I can get to bed. So today was a pretty good day. I really feel like I got some things done at work.
I’ve been getting some very encouraging words from many, I thank you all again. As I’ve thought even more about this topic of relationships I’m finding myself torn on a fine line between expecting God to do all the work and taking it all into my own hands. I think a big issue is motivation. While it’s not bad to look elsewhere for social interact, thinking about not having much for single people to hang out with, my motivation is to find my future wife. This really needs to be left to God. Seeking out a possible relationship on eHarmony, or any other service like it, is this wrong? This seems like one of those grey areas. Well, even though this post is intended to be short I’ve already spent too much time thinking about this. Let’s get on with the rest of the day.
