So my anxiety for the gun to came was huge. I waited nearly right up through the same morning it came (b/c I had to sign for it or they’d leave and come back the next day). Anyhow, so I waited all afternoon until right until almost time for work, I started to call the FedEx branch and ding dong!!! It was at my door!!! ha-ha talk about good timing.

So I’ve had it for a week or so now and it’s awesome. I’ve purchased a LOT of accessories that didn’t originally come with it. Now it’s all decked out. I tried to self-chrono (test velocity) and I successfully failed. My 2 and a half to 3 year old paint broke in the magazine and chamber so It gunked up (and still is) b/c I’m afraid to dismantled it and not be able to put it back 2gether. However, I went early this morning and had both my Tippmann and Tiberius chronographed. So hopefully they’re good to go. I had to get a remote line kit b/c I forgot my co2 mini-cartridges at home. Then I got 1000 Dusk paintballs (lowest of the high-end pballs). So I’ve spent WAYYYYYYYY more than I should this first and second quarter of the year. Lord knows it’s all in good interest. I’m lookin forward to next weekend when we go play. It’ll be nice to see how these guns really hold up. 🙂

Secondly, I’m pooped. We had API (annual physical inventory) last night and it was fun and tiring, both. We’ll have to continue today to get the last few areas covered so yeah. Whew!

Thanks for reading and always, let me know if there’s anything I can pray for you about.

Well, I just purchased a new, very expensive marker.

You’re probably thinking “a”………”expensive”………….. marker?

Nope we’re not talking crayola here. Ha-ha. I’m talking about paintball. Marker is another name for paintball gun. 🙂

I own a Tippmann 98 custom stock and that’s about how to sum it up…stock, bland. Thank the Lord my mom got it for me, yes, but I got something a lil souped up that I prayyyyyyyyy will last me a loooooooong time (like 5 years or so…b/c one guy said he buys new ones every 5-6 yrs which seems logical.)

The company is called Tiberius Arms and the marker I purchased was the top of the line one [ for now -_- ] called the T9 Elite ST (pic below). Of course, the picture doesn’t do justice to the actual gun.

I hope I get it soon b/c we’ve gotta church outreach [that includes paintballing]. Alright, I’m bout to fall over here asleep. Pray that the Lord gave me proper wisdom to buy this. I must have 2nd….no 30 guessed it but then had a temporary peace to buy it. So pray. 🙂 I’ll edit later when I get it w/ any updates.

Whew. I’m tired. Ha! I’m downsizing my room quite a bit. Sometime mid-last year, I took down my bulky entertainment shelf and got a smaller one. Today, I broke down my desk and have nothing there, for now. Originally, when we moved, I got all new furniture (the matching ET and desk) and my room was packed. Idk if it’s the Lord showing me that I’m blessed enough or something weird -either way, I like to downsize now and not be cluttered. It’s an accomplishment that I broke down the desk at 2 or 3 a.m. with people sleeping in the house! Haha.

Anywho, now I’ve got my PC near my bed on my nightstand (since I have a flat-panel LCD it fits nicely.) Now I can lay in comfort on my bed and snooze whenever! I’ll have to decide what to do about the open space in my room but I have no clue as of now because I am exhaustively tired and my back’s sore from liftin’, pushin’ and pullin’ stuff.

Well, I best get some Zzzzz’s before work this afternoon. Thanks for reading my blog and don’t forget to checkout Christians 4 Life (for great Christian resources) and LUVR Services (for all your pc/network needs).

There was a show on called Purity Ball which the basic synopsis was that fathers are more involved in their daughters (and of course sons) lives. The goal of the show was to enhance focus on girl’s purity and chaste before marriage. Because I consider counseling as one of my areas of study, I stuck with watching the show. It’s a 50/50 good/bad show to me.

I’m 100% enthralled that fathers desire to (and should be) helping their daughters focus on being abstinent until marriage. It’s a heart-felt show and a sign of hope that more girls now than in the past are striving for purity/chaste/abstinence (whichever you prefer to call it by).

The other half I didn’t realize until I read some comments while looking for a download or purchase of the documentary that it’s a loss of control in a girls life. Not to the extent of being slave-like, but that what most girls are naive or less knowledgeable/skilled in the “control” area of their life…at least they have control over it whether good or bad. With these girls, their father’s “control” the relationship area of their lives, but none the less they have no control over it or it’s at least a big argument or just a never talked suppressed struggle she keeps secret. After the girl marries, the husband is then in “control”.

I’m sure between both sides, girls fit in one or the other and sometimes both areas. I’m positive. I just hope on the negative side I mentioned that it’s not THAT terrible that fathers (and mothers) are deemed “control freaks”. Yes, I’m all for girls being pure until marriage but go about it in a way that you pray and talk to your kids about it and when they’re faced with or tempted later on down the line, they’ll look back and know what’s right from wrong (as this applies to any area we want to teach our kids about doing or not doing).

Thanks for reading, I’d love for you to leave some feedback!

Wow. It’s been a while. Life’s going pretty well. Working hard at Cowan Mill (the new church for those who don’t know). We’ve got the Christmas musical coming along (that I’ve got the pleasure of leading). It’s a very interesting, humbling, and learning experience, not only for the singers, but for me in music leader stance.

On the other hand, at Jefferson Avenue, things may not go well. I have a meeting (will have had by the time you’re reading this) with Pastor Caldwell for lunch to discuss the website. Remember, I’m logical-based and so my logic tells me that he wants me to possibly step down and hand the reigns over to someone else or he’ll demote me personally. Again, that’s my guess but it seems like the only thing that it could be. We’ll see (and I’ll letcha know later on…maybe not in this blog.)

Not much else going on though. Got some new people at work and I tried to train the new girl Tuesday night (along side Terri’s usual critique that aggrivates everyone). Nice, quite, and pretty girl. She learned a lot and is semi-ready for the real blast of Christmas. I’ve yet to work with the other two guys, Thomas and Brother O’Neal.

I’m just really burned out at LifeWay and hope the Lord will sustain me with His grace so that something else will come along or something at LifeWay will make things better whether it be a new position, better pay, or something else.

Haha I forgot,

My Xmas List

Batman: The Dark Knight (TDK) on DVD or Blu-Ray (preferred)
Family Guy volume…..5 or 6 (whichever one is out)
and Resistance 2 on PS3

And for my Bday

The Land B4 Time volume….13??? haha I’ve lost count.

OK whew. I’m done.

MLIC,

Andrew
