Quickster I

Well, I'm gonna do what I've been putting off for weeks and record this dang song like I promised! And you wanna know something funny... I'm always so critical of my recordings, and so I think that year after year I'll just keep refining my voice/writing, etc... and then today I pull out this CD I recorded in Phoenix 3 years ago - and I said to myself, "MAN, this is some good shtuff!"

I mean, I'm not bragging at all - I just thought it sounded like crap when I first made it. And it made me realize that I spend more time trying to "refine" my sound that just singing, writing, playing, and sharing the gift God so graciously gave me.

So that's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna record some crap here real quick, store it away for 3 years and then listen to it so I can appreciate it for it's true inspiration.

Work Blogging

Heyyyy - it's me, work blogging again!

Thanks to Scott and Carissa, I found out how to keep from time traveling - so that's sweet... Aaaaaaand I found a spot in my settings page that will allow EVERYBODY (even people without gmail accounts) to post comments, etc.

So - I'm sure many of you were chompin' at the bit to take a few swings at me... here's your chance. Get to it!

The time on this thingy is wrong...

Every time I post something, this blog thingy puts a timestamp on it that is like 2 hours late (real time) - (2 hours) = blog time.

Weird. Well - I guess it's kinda like time travel.

Columbus Rescue Mission

There's something special about rescue ministry. I think it's because Christ put so much emphasis on service the weak and poor... there's just something more real about it.

For one thing, you'll never find people who will lie to you more willingly about their plans to follow Christ and promptly run off into drugs and promiscuity. But on the other hand, when you see one of the rare ones - a heart that is changed by God, it's like a bursting firework over a dark sky - you just can't miss it. They radiate through the whole mission building. And with that evidence of their true faith comes a stinging conviction... is my life like that? Can people tell a difference in me?

For sure, God produces fruit in the lives of His children... and recently I've begun to wonder what I'm growing. It's more like moss or mildew... or something like that. Not as appealing, and certainly not as tasty.

Cheap pizzas

I know my mom will kill me for this - but I'm crunched for time at lunch today and I put a Totino's $0.98 pizza in the oven and I'm sooooooo excited! There's nothing like the flavor of cheap saturated fat pasted over a saltine-cracker... ohyah - it's like the Twinkie-delight of lunches.
