NOT a thing has changed since we last talked. Yeah, super boring, eh? Anywho, still praying about my job situation if I need passion for the one I have or for the Lord to open a door to a new one.

We almost finished enclosing the porch. We’ve got our new roof on. I’ve taken pictures of each relationship study book (and all others) that I own (Link Here) so I (and you) can see the books and know what ones to (or not to) buy. 🙂

My Christmas List

Family Guy volume 6 (and 7 if it comes out too)

Land Before Time # whatever. haha I’ve lost count.

Ok well gotta go back to playin GTA4 Multiplayer….it’s been the only thing ‘new’ going on for me.

It’s been a month-to-date since our last encounter. Oh well, been busy. Nothing new going on here. Same job, same [low] paycheck, same battlecruiser (truck), same bills, same gouged (spelling??!) gas prices, same skills @ everything, and same level on Halo 3. I am ranked up on Mafia Wars @ MySpace but no, sorry, I have not saved 15% or more on my car insurance by switching to Geico, nor have I lost 200 pounds with Jenny Craig, the Slimfast diet, or Subway.

I bid you a good night, so long, far well, avetazay (sounds like velveeta cheeze) goodbye. Fareeee-WELL!!!!!!!!!

Dun dun dun.

Last Sunday, August 10, 2008, I was waken (awoken?) and it was Pastor Tom on the phone and he said that Jimmy was out due to shoulder surgery and he asked if I would fill in. I was literally still half…no 3 quarters asleep, haha, so I happily agreed. Now, I have several hymnals and I have the pulpit (minister) editions as well and I thought I wouldn’t get to use them anytime…or at all. Well, they came into good use!

Once I got to church we covered the logistics of how the service was going to run and I also had to think of the special music on the spot so that was cool. The tense part was that like 5 minutes before the service, the pianist had to leave b/c her mother had gotten dizzy and passed out needing to go to the hospital (she’s fine now, don’t worry). So that put SUPER tension on me and for a moment I was thinking, “Am I gonna lead or play…or both?!” Well, needless to say the fill-in organist played piano, I led, and we did without the organ and it was all great. All in all, I enjoyed it VERY much, the smaller environment, unlike the larger one back @ Jefferson Avenue, was just right, I was nervous in the beginning and slightly throughout but not nearly as much as I thought I would be. So I wouldn’t mind doing it again and as a career like I wanted in the first place back in school!

So anyway To cover the part about “truck” in the title, I don’t know if the edition of my truck was suppose to or not suppose to come with default mirrors or if they were added/changed later on, but checkout the link below on my site to see the mirrors I have, the mirrors I want, and the mirrors I’m gonna go hopefully pickup and install tomorrow, 8/14/08.

MIRRORS

Other notes of interest:

I’m thinking of going to Penn Foster for a certificate or degree. IDK yet, I think my plan is to pay off my tv, surround sound, and whatever else I’ve got that can be paid off short-term.

I didn’t get a pay increase from last october b/c I missed the mark by a few days and was promoted after the time that pay was increased so I got stuck w/ lower pay 😦 However, I got this years increase so that’s better. I STILL don’t have full passion back for LifeWay and I still don’t know what path God wants me to go down, either.

That’s it for now,

OK. It’s been a while since we’ve last talked. ha-ha sorry.

I recently got a home theater system and it is awesome…the back story is that I’ve been going back/forth with issues of the other theater system I bought before I returned it and got a new one. Either way, my home theater system is sweet. It’s not as great as some people’s but it’s mine and it does the trick. The Lord allowed me to get it and I’m thankful. I just need to be more mindful of my spending and I need to pray that the Lord will guide me in payments for this and my tv and other stuff I have bills to pay on.

I’ve still got no passion back at work. I’ve prayed earnestly and haven’t seen much change.

Christians 4 Life is about to release a new project called Simplicity and we are overly excited to see it revealed! http://christians4life.net

I saw the new Batman movie and it ROCKED!!!!!!!!! Nuff said. 😀

Well that’s all for now, I’m gonna finish upgrading all of the wordpress blogs that I manage and head to bed.

God Bless!

Whew! We finished up VBS (Vacation Bible School) tonight at Cowan Mill Church and I’m tired! I didn’t get to go Monday night because of work but I went last night and tonight and it was pretty fun. I didn’t participate much last night b/c I thought it was cheezy and my VBS years were over, but tonight I had more interactivity and fun. I took my Western duster and hat and walked down the VBS hallway with kids staring at me like “who u be??!” haha. And I took my 6-foot Samurai sword for Pastor Kaplan to look at, which was also cool.

Well, Pastor Tom (Kaplan) introduced me to John, the multimedia guy for the church (who has a pre-website drawn up for the church). Well, that was a shoot-down all in itself but still we chatted about each of our methods of web publishing/designing and I tried to convince him to use ANH/CHI but I think he was reluctant to hear or have a “newbie” at the church jump in and start (or take over) something. And I agree, I wouldn’t feel too obliged if john doe came in and tookover something at C4L, no no. THAT kindof involvement only comes with prayer…which I’ve had to learn the hard way to do.

So aftewards, I told Pastor Tom that I think he (John) was a bit reluctant to let me do the website, and that I also don’t do well in the web ministry with others and then Pastor Tom told me that it comes with time and that God’ll allow it if so, and I agreed to that. So Pastor Tom said for me to not be discouraged as John loves the church and wants to do the website (which I totally understand, that’s what I did for JABC). So Pastor Tom told me to not hold back with ideas and suggestions and for he and I to discuss them, if ever, and pray on them to see if the Lord wants whatever it may be to come about. So, in turn, IF God wants me to assist or primarily work with the website, then He will allow it, else He has something better in store and I need to accept that and be humble to that.

Well that’s it for now. I’m gonna rest before I have to go back to work tomorrow.

Much Love In Christ,

Andrew
