That’s about how my brain feels right now. We’ve been looking for a job for some time now (since May of 2007). After Thanksgiving, we were starting to think perhaps I should finish my Computer Science degree somewhere. The likely suspects were Evangel University and NDSU. Now, there’s another piece of the puzzle thrown out there (I think that God is is just toying with me at this point). At any rate, there’s a job opening in my home town that seems quite promising. I’m applying for it, but it’s almost too good to be true. And you know what they say about things that seem too good to be true. Well, I don’t think ‘they’ (whoever ‘they’ are) are always right, so we’re keeping our fingers crossed.
I’ve also been delving back into the area of Bible study software. My favorite has always been Bibleworks, but just recently, I gave gnomesword another try. I’m not sure it’s a replacement for BW, but it sure is pretty good. You can even download some freely available content from biblegateway.com and crosswalk.com into it if you’re clever enough (or find scripts written by someone else who is even more clever). At any rate, it’s a nice interface for browsing, but the greek and hebrew lexicon integration of Bibleworks makes it the ‘king of the hill’. Maybe someday I’ll join the gnome sword team, and help them integrate cool things like that…

bounty
This is by no means ‘news’. However, I just saw a special on TV about Dog the Bounty Hunter, and how Mexico is trying to hose him for bringing a serious criminal to justice. There’s a petition to help expedite the proceedings, and ‘Save the Dog’. I’m number 16029.

whirl
March was a month of madness (no pun intended). So much has happened, that I don’t even remember it all. Early in the month, we had Spring Break (during which we were still working in the IT office). I ran lights for a play produced by the Historical Society in Ellendale. We found a house to buy, and are currently in the loan application process. I also preached for youth group a week ago, and for church last Sunday as well. It’s always incredible to see how God can take a good sermon, and make it really impact people’s lives in a way you never expected.

t-p
I’m now down to 20 fish. No, they aren’t dying on me. People are finally asking for them, and hopefully they are doing alright in their new homes. On Sunday, we are going to Forman, ND to ‘interview’ at the church there. Last night the youth group t-p’ed our house. It also rained last night, and so we have a soggy mess of toilet paper all over the yard. Oh well, we still feel loved.
I’ll be going through some (around 200) pictures and posting them online, so you can check that out later.

slack
Something we talked about in our youth leader’s meeting last night was devotion. And commitment. Far too often, we settle for less with God. We ought to devote our whole lives to Him. We ought to be committed to God above everything. Nothing else will have eternal impact. Nothing else even brings us fulfillment in life. Last night, I finally started settings aside a specific time for God. It was awesome just to enjoy God’s presence. Why is it so hard for us to devote time to something that is so incredible? It makes my head spin to think of it.
