Sometimes one gets so disillusioned with this world. It seems so evil, so full of itself. So vain that it is blind to the peril that awaits. It’s enough to make one homesick. You long for just a taste of heaven. You can almost taste it, and feel it, and you almost can see it in your mind’s eye. And then you come floating down. Your face hits the earth, and you awake to find it was only a dream. Just a dream, because it is only an inkling of the paradise that awaits us. No dream could ever capture the reality that will one day come to be.
And so we wait, and we hope. We look out on this sad world, and one thought holds us on our course. We have to believe it can change. Even if it is only one person, we have to believe that they can come back to the truth. That there is a limit to the madness in the hearts of men that can be overcome by the infinite love of our savior. That there is still hope.

toys
I like snow. I even like ice. I just think it should stay off the road and keep out from under my tires. Mandy and I left for Nebraska on Thursday afternoon, and hit the worst weather ever near Pierre, South Dakota. We drove 45 mph for the next eon, and finally arrived in North Platte on Friday at 3:00 AM. Almost went in the ditch once, and that was exciting. At least the bad roads kept me awake.
We spent the majority of the weekend doing wedding “stuff”. It wasn’t too bad, and I’m still alive. I was actually excited to get back to work this time. We got all the parts for our new storage server, as well as 2 Kodak DX7630’s. It was awesome, and we had lots of fun today playing with our new toys. The edn (sorry, edn killed end in a drive-by shooting on Saturday). -
let it go
It’s always amazing to me that we as Christians are sometimes the most horrible examples of who Jesus Christ is. One of the main teachings of Christ was forgiveness, and we are so bad at it. I’ll not go into details, nor do I need to, since examples of this are everywhere I look. We hold onto things so long that I wonder if we just haven’t forgotten completely how to let go. Maybe I’m just really good at it, or possibly I just have a really bad memory. Either way, I’m blessed in this area. I won’t take any credit for myself, since I know there are times when I brood on things too. I just try to remember this one thing: Do not let the sun go down upon your wrath. In other words: Never go to bed angry. It’s bad for your health, and it doesn’t make you a very likable person. But if you do (go to bed angry), it’s alright, I forgive you, and so does God.

waste
Currently, I’m sick of spending so much time on my computer without using it for God. I want to find God’s purpose in all of this, find the dream that I know is out there…somewhere. I know this site is going to be amazing some day, not because I made it, but because God made me.

worship
Worship is not about us. It is about God. It is not about the incredible sound of our worship, it is about the incredible object of our worship.
