Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring forth.
Nov 29th
(Proverbs 27:1-3) What a day today was. Surprises at every turn. So this morning I used my “snow blower” for the first time. I’m sorry to say (Mom & Dad 
), that that thing is not much more than a gas-powered shovel. I think I could have do it by hand faster. Well, can’t complain about the price I guess. Got to work with an unplowed parking lot, but behold there was 1 clearly open spot for me to park, yeah! It was nice to have gotten up at 5:30 again. I was feel pretty good today, pretty much back to my old self.
Well after continuous looks at the UPS package tracking it appeared that I wouldn’t get my new PowerBook until tomorrow. Well wouldn’t you know it, I got back from lunch and there sitting on my desk was the box, simply amazing. I began the process of trying to get all my stuff I had on the old machine onto the new one. It went ok, but I did have a hang up that I had to resolve by doing a system update/install. It sort of appeared like the system has 10.3.7 installed on it rather than the 10.4 it came with. Well it all got resolved and my system is pretty much back to where I had things before. All my apps seem to be running pretty good. I’m getting used to this new machine nicely.

Pleasant Day…And Winter is Here
Nov 15th
Well, all-in-all it was a pretty good day. I actually managed to get up by 5:30 and get going. So yeah I didn’t get much sleep last night, but it was worth it. I got most of my small website projects done. I wish I would have had the whole day to work on stuff. My department spent the afternoon going a bit deeper in the DISC profile
. Wanting to discover how we can better work together. It was good to go deeper into what makes up each of us. We were reminded again that the profile is not something to use as an excuse for our actions. Each personality type has it’s strengths and weeknesses. It’s the weeknesses that we need to work on and we need to know how to best interact with other personality types. I can sure see how my personality causes social issues. This is something I obviously have to work on, I think God has been helping me see this and working on it with me.
I decided to make some more bread today. I started it during lunch and I came home to fresh baked bread. I decided to make some cinnamon bread, didn’t have raisins to add. It was good stuff.

What Have I Gotten Myself Into…?
Nov 8th
OK, let’s recap the day first. Got up at 5:30 this morning. Had some good time before work. I still really feel getting up at 5:00 would be better, I just can’t get to bed very early, grrr. Work was good today. I feel like I’m finally getting caught up with stuff. Yes! That’ll probably jinks it, LOL. I’m finding that I’m going to have to do some research to find a better system for the free church websites we’re providing. I might have to do something custom, so long as it’s easy to use. Overall a good day. It was nice to have some extra time today before youth praise team practice. The practice went pretty well. Some of the songs are new so it makes it a little harder for them. I’m going to be sure to try and do all songs they are familiar with for the next set, maybe one new one.
Well, in reference to the title…I’m getting a little freaked out with this whole eHarmony thing. So I decided to widen my match settings to about 300 miles. Well this brought 3 new matches. And one of them began going through the communication steps with me. I’m freaking out cause what do I do. I’m not the kind of guy to consider persuing a relationship with multiple women, and see which one “works out”. This is way new territory for me. I guess it’s ok to get to the point of a first meeting with any number of matches as the physical meeting, and time together, will help to determine if anything is worth persuing. Problem here is I’m the guy that can’t even get up enough courage to ask a women out for a date. LOL, I just thought of something funny. Perhaps this God’s way of making me realize that this while area of my life is still totally in His control. He’s probably laughing at me right now, in a good way of course. Well, I guess what did I expect? Actually, what I did expect was nothing. I kind of figured I had to strange of a personality, and “specs” for a mate, that the system couldn’t find me a match. Well, I guess I did adjust those “specs” a little. Well, we’ll see where this all leads. Well, I need to hit the sack. Chow again. Boy it feels good to be blogging a little more regularly again. Yeah!
A Time of Pruning…?
Oct 28th
Well, it sure seems like I’ve entered into a time of pruning. I got an email tonight that someone has been hired to redesign and take over the camp website. I really haven’t been involved with it much the past year, but it seems like my involvement with camp is coming more to a close. I still have mixed feelings about this. When you give so much towards something and then not be apart of it anymore it’s just kind of a strange feeling. I really hope that they will be served well.
I’m kind of feeling a little lost now. I’m so used to having a load of things to do. If I don’t have a project to work on I’m not sure what I should be doing. I suppose I can start working better at taking care of things around the house. Who knows, perhaps God has something big in store for me soon and is clearing the way. I guess this is a time of pruning for me.
