Month: November 2010

Score.  Break is here.  I spent the morning finally getting the domain transferred.   Lord willing it should be done by next week.  Then I played chauffeur, and that was fun.  Any who, it’s finally warmed up a bit (meaning the temp. is above zero instead of below), and the wind is blowing like crazy.  I’m getting new tires for my car, and that is all that’s new with me.

Happy Thanksgiving every one.

Psalm 30:5 For his anger endureth but a moment; in his favour is life: weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.

Job 12:16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.

The deceived and the deceiver are his. What does that mean?

Winter is really here.   We finally had our first real snow storm.  It started Thursday night, snowed all day Friday, and finished up on Saturday.  Now it’s real cold, but we’ve got over a foot of snow.  Score.  Life continues to go well.  Another computer has been donated to camp, as well as some LCD monitors.  God has been so good.  I really haven’t got much to say, so I’ll just stop here.

Psalm 27:9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation.

Psalm 27:11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

Psalm 27:14 Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.

Job 9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.

God said at the start of the book that Job was righteous, yet Job doesn’t seem to consider himself righteous. Huh.

Job 9:34-35 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.

It’s just interesting how Job’s mind works, his thought process. I’m not sure why these verses hit me, but they did.

Oh boy.  Let me see.  I’ve been sitting in on class this week (Proverbs taught by Duane Matthews) and that has been really good.  Very convicting, so now I’m praying God helps me go from conviction to action.  To often I merely wait for the conviction to pass.

The great domain registrar saga continues.  I have now had two companies tell me very clearly that the other one is the one that owns our domain, and they are the ones that have to change it.  This means I have to go to a third company to prove that BMCR really does own its domain and they should change an e-mail address.  Once that is changed then maybe I’ll be able to get the transfer initiated.  I never really wanted to yell at some one it tech support till yesterday.  I will be glad when this is done.

Any who today went well.  Camp received a donation, so I was able to buy our customer relations lady a new computer, and I have now replaced the remainder of  our old CRT monitors with LCD’s.  More desk space and less power.  Then I updated the needs list, went through my Internet logs, and finished reading The Way of the Master.  I’ll stop boring you now.

Psalm 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

He restores my soul. Oh does it need that. I am righteous for His name’s sake. It is not about me! This verse alone should demolish all my pride.

Proverbs 15:32 He that refuseth instruction despiseth his own soul: but he that heareth reproof getteth understanding.

Pay attention to your heart Eric. When you refuse instruction that says something, and it isn’t flattering.

Job 5:17-23 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole. He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword. Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh. At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth. For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

Now I get that Eliphaz was wrong about the reason for Job’s suffering, but he got the end right. God did indeed bind up and make Job whole again.

Before I ponder let me catch up.  The weather station took a back burner to getting the BMCR website switched over.  I’ve made a lot of progress, but I’m having trouble with our current registrar/host.  Through some kind of mess up (so they claim) they’re having trouble getting me the info I need to get our domain transferred to a different registrar.  I’ve done just about all I can, and until I get our domain transferred I’m stuck.  So I’ve gone back to the weather station, and now have gotten it to the point of posting the weather on our intra-net.  So work is going well.  On to my ponder.

The past month and a half-ish has been one of those dry spells for me.  God has felt far away, and our relationship strained or non-existent.  Now today for some reason it feels like it’s been restored.  I feel close to Him, and it’s wonderful.  The strange part is I don’t know why.  It almost felt like a switch, gone one moment there the next.

I know in my head and I believe in my heart that God is faithful.  Yet I am ever tempted to base our relationship on how I feel.  I guess I ask prayer for that.  Regardless of whether I feel close to Him or distant my faith will not waiver.

Psalm 18:27-28 For thou wilt save the afflicted people; but wilt bring down high looks. For thou wilt light my candle: the Lord my God will enlighten my darkness.
