As Unto The Lord (cont...)

Hey, I'm going to keep updating this blog for awhile with excerpts and links to the Wordpress version.  Musings will stay up for awhile as I figure out how to convert past archives in the new format, then this page will become a redirect....

 

Here's my most recent post:

It's a continuation of the thoughts on the original...

New look, new blog...

Can you give me your thoughts about a Wordpress look?

 

It seems to be much cleaner than Blogger to use, and the level of control over look and content is far superior...

Owen loves mom

OK, everyone. I know I've struggled a little with Owen and his unwillingness to go to anyone but Julie. I guess I've gotten to see enough of him this week that I've come to terms with it; he just needs his mama... Surprising thing is how GOOD a baby he is when he's with Julie. One thing is especially endearing. When he nurses, he chows on the first side. After the burp, he'll start the second side, then look up at Julie until she smiles, then he'll dig in; for a minute. He'll look up until she smiles at him, he'll smile back, then back at it. It's adorable...

Kate can't NOT smile

I had to put these in, sorry... It was the right moment. Kate was being so silly, and actually had left the ponytail in for once, that I grabbed the camera. She immediately frowned, which was cute, then started to crack... precious... Enjoy! She also loves her "Pan-Pan's" (pancakes) that Julie makes for her.

Life - coveting time to think...

I've been painting our downstairs trim/doors/built-in for the last couple days so we can get carpet installed tomorrow. Yes we get to use the basement for the first time SINCE WE'VE LIVED HERE, but on the other hand, we didn't really have the $ or the time.... Before that I had a mid grade fever and we've been struggling with the kids being less than perfect angels (not their fault, but the reality). The built-in was twice what we'd budgeted, and got us one of those joyus postcards from Wachovia. D'OH!!!

SO. The comments are getting very close to issues of my heart and my current place in life and ministry... GOOD LORD, please keep me sane through the next 2 months... give me time to work through some of these things... thanks for good men and women to do it with (or near.... or whatever).

As unto the Lord

Just wanted to say that this is a very hard concept to get, especially when things aren't fun. It's easy to keep this mindset when all is peachy, but what normally happens is we get screwed and have to submit or follow authority or do something that is diametrically opposed to our nature (interesting HOW perfectly wrong for us it is)... And then have to do that thing as undo the Lord.

I'm playing drums for VBS this week. I love the drums. I wish I could play more often! I'm not half bad as it is, and with some practice could really get into them.

So Julie last night had a little revelation. I've been learning Macromedia's FLASH design software, and as I had worked from home and spent the majority of the day on the code for a menu, she just cried.

#1. it was 11:30 and she was tired, hence the tears. She would have been emotional, but...

#2. She was frustrated that ministry has turned into website menus. Where are the people on people interaction? what does that say/mean about our society and the state of professional "ministry" today?

#3. For all my education and gifts, the situation at my place of employment does not allow me to use those, but relegates me to designing flash menus. My passion for coming alongside the church as a whole has been put aside, put down, and generally devalued.

Hm... what to do, what to do...
