I am just praising God today. My career has been a rough ride since graduating from college in May of 2001. I’m on my fourth job, and have spent about half my time in “the real world” unemployed. My first…
Happy Hanukkah
Hanukkah begins tonight at sundown. Hanukkah is actually mentioned in the Bible. John 10:22 says “And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter.” The only time the Temple was dedicated in the winter was…
Tivo No Mo?
I’ve been a huge Tivo fan since I got my DirecTV Tivo about three years ago. I often joked when I first got it that buying a Tivo is almost like joining a cult. It was so cool that I…
Broad-Sided Answer to Prayer
Today ended up being a difficult day. I came face-to-face with my own mortality not once, but twice in a matter of just a few hours. The first came during a flight lesson that otherwise went great. While doing a…
I’m Just about Finished
… watching TechTV and “The Screen Savers”. I’ve been a bit of a fan for several years. I even went as far as to get DirecTV so that I could get it. They just keep running the show and the…
Email Pet-Peeves
I got a few emails today that were of the forwarding variety. As a Christian, I get a lot from other Christians that have interesting stories, prayers, or calls to action. I enjoy most of them. The one thing I…
One Cool Cat
A few weeks ago, I went into a local gun shop with a friend. While we were in there, we saw they had a really cool cat roaming around the store. At first, we thought it might be a bobcat.…
Get Off My Back
As Election Day quickly approaches, I’m starting to get some heat about my decision to vote for Michael Peroutka. Those who believe in the Boogie Man are clamoring to get me to change my mind and just vote for Bush.…
Dictator for a Day
Cruising through Flannel Avenger’s Blog, I cam across a recent post on what he’d do if he became President. It’s a response to a “Contest” at the Rebel Yell. I’ll take it a step further and say if I were…
Speaking Out Against the Liberal Media
I got my bumper sticker in the mail this weekend. I tried to get one of these when I was in Jerusalem two years ago, but didn’t have time to get to the store that had them. I got these…
Fast, But Not Fast Enough
One thing in life that I find frustrating is coming up with great ideas just a little too late (or not acting on them fast enough). President Bush was in town today, and I listened to his speech on the…
My Favorite Workday
Today turned into one of those days I put in the category of “Favorite Workdays”. The easiest way for a day to get into that category is to be a “take free stuff home” day. Our main Mac Computer guy…
Airplane Rides
I had another flight lesson this week, something I’ve written nothing about since I mentioned that I was getting back into flying. My fiancée came up with us for the second time. My instructor encourages me to bring passengers during…
I’m Supposed to care, Why?
A local radio show is currently broadcasting fromt the Minnesota State Fair. He has, as guests, several news anchors from various local TV channels. One mentioned that TV news is one of the few careers where you can go to…
Training for Wings
I had some fun this weekend at another flight lesson. My fiancée came with me to the flight school, intending to sit in the car and get some work done while I was flying. She came in with me, to…
