on the intranet machine

This is the glory of my 21st century life in one afternoon:

Set up my E*Trade online portfolio. I am now a shareholder.
Set up my 401(k)
Wikipedia’d 401(k)
Got massive headache.
Renewed library items online.
Diablo 3. If I stop returning your calls later this year, you’ll know where to find me.

This is why I love technology.

there’s only air

Having full realization that my posting of late has been somewhat long-winded, here is a list.

“Trying to find the ground beneath your feet.” Pastor Sarah’s description of my life right now.
Jesus is the ground beneath my feet.
Wow. Wednesday nights at ORCC are alive. Young, old, single, married, happy, sad, dopey…all of us converging with each [...]

he’s got to hold every day

So, from my perspective this hasn’t been the “greatest” week. Even with $2 Rock Stars (which I suspect may be slowly sterilizing me.) Have you ever experienced God telling you not to do something you really, really want to? And I’m not talking “don’t look at that website,” or “don’t steal that purse,” or “don’t [...]

it’s only rock and roll

Today at work I took a 10-minute break. I take several of these each day. I understand them to be an important part of office life. I’m told they help stave off eye strain, carpal tunnel, sociopathic behavior and other such unpleasantries. On this particular break, I went downstairs to the place where our vending machines [...]

…so you can see what you’ve got to give

God has really changed my perspective on ministry this year. I realized that it is very easy to fall into a “career” mindset of ministry. We as Christians like to rail against the corporate ladder mindset, but I think we fall deep into it ourselves quite often. You go to school or ministry training somewhere, [...]

is it black or is it white?

I. Hate. Getting mad. Being angry. Hating people.
Deep breath.
Today I got mad at someone. Really mad. I blew up at them. Shouted (electronically) at them. Felt hot under the collar and red in the face. Hated them in my heart. Imagined getting into a fight with them. Imagined letting them beat me up just to [...]

and I won’t take any other call

TodayI have a severe case of the monday morning droopies. (MMD) My body is letting me know how much it would rather be asleep than at work right now. But you know what? I’m going to drink some [awful] coffee, throw on my iPod and rock out until I’m awake. You know why? Because God [...]

soil, soil

I feel I should say a few words about yesterday. The first ones that come to mind are “PWN,” “awesome,” and “scrumtralescent.” <BTW, spellcheck totally allowed the word “scrumtralescent.” Worship was incredible at last night’s service. It feels as though out of nowhere, Wednesday night’s at ORCC mean something new, are about something new. We [...]

you should’ve known by now.

I am so, so sorry for the recent lack of posts. I am adjusting to my new 8 – 5 life. I will get better.
Midnight Society re-tooled and blogrolled. You’re probably not invited. I’m sorry.
Date tomorrow night. No, you did not misread.
First paycheck from 2 jobs tomorrow. Hello new socks.
Who else wants to give me [...]

somethin’ tall and strong

It is blazing hot in the room at the moment, but my goodness what a nice night. Tonight I took a bike ride up to the local Starbucks and it was absolutely glorious. I defy you to take a fixed-gear bike out at 8:45pm when the air is 75 degrees and not have the time [...]
