Month: December 2010

What a great time.  I’ve had a busy week.  Thanks to my dad I got a new computer (and then spent a bunch of money upgrading it).  I spent a couple of half days working on the new BMCR website.  Obviously Christmas eve and Christmas day were full, and today dad and I got started on a project in his shop.  I’m going to try and make a couple of goblets on his lathe (we’ll see how that goes).  It has been so good to see my family (and partake of their Internet connection).

God really has blessed me, and sometimes it is easy to loose sight of Him because of those blessings.  There really isn’t much I can’t manage to twist some how.  Bummer.

Psalm 42:11 Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God.

Proverbs 3:30 Strive not with a man without cause, if he have done thee no harm.

So we entered our second day of strategic planning (S.P.) and it is going well.  I must admit I am eager for break.  I want to see my family, slack off, and basically not be at BMCR.  This week isn’t going fast enough.

This evening I updated my website, and I think it’s cool.  I changed the background (it’s actually a picture I took), and it not only follows as you scroll, it is automatically resized based on the size of your browser (up to 1600×1200 px).  I’m not sure what it will do on wide screen monitors.    Any ways I think it’s cool.

Psalm 40:16 Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The Lord be magnified.

Proverbs 1:33 [Wisdom speaking] But whoso hearkeneth unto me shall dwell safely, and shall be quiet from fear of evil.

This is a rhetorical question.  I am simply venting.

I know what I am to do, how I am to live, and I can’t do it.  I know I am to give myself up, I know I am to surrender, but I can’t do it.  Despite my best efforts (which in theory are aided and abetted by Christ/Holy Spirit and/or wouldn’t even be there without Him) I submit to my pride, my selfishness, my desire for recognition.  So  I am ashamed, and I dishonour the name of Christ.

I know, I know, sanctification is a process, He who began a good work will finish it, the Author is perfecting my faith, etc.  Like I said I’m venting.  Vent done.

Psalm 38:3-6 There is no soundness in my flesh because of thine anger; neither is there any rest in my bones because of my sin. For mine iniquities are gone over mine head: as an heavy burden they are too heavy for me. My wounds stink and are corrupt because of my foolishness. I am troubled; I am bowed down greatly; I go mourning all the day long.

38:15 For in thee, O Lord, do I hope: thou wilt hear, O Lord my God.

38:18 For I will declare mine iniquity; I will be sorry for my sin.

38:21-22 Forsake me not, O Lord: O my God, be not far from me. Make haste to help me, O Lord my salvation.

Proverbs 30:12 There is a generation that are pure in their own eyes, and yet is not washed from their filthiness.

It’s been a big week so far.  I was really sick on Sunday with a 24 hour flu bug (it was miserable).  I worked Monday, and finally got most of our e-mail/domain stuff worked out.  I couldn’t sleep this morning so I laid in bed for an hour and half or two hours finally got up at 4:00 and worked till 5:30 (a.m.).  On the up side I finished all the domain stuff, our web host is officially transferred, e-mail works, and so does Google calendar (though I’ve got to update our websites).  Finally!  It only took me a month and a half from start to finish.  What a nightmare, though now that I know what I’m doing it’ll go better next time, hopefully there wont be a next time.

Oh yeah, one more thing, I think my car battery is dead.  Bummer.

Proverbs 28:25 He that is of a proud heart stirreth up strife: but he that putteth his trust in the Lord shall be made fat.

If I’m really trusting God, He’ll take care of the proud. That isn’t my job.

Proverbs 28:6 He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

Every one says “follow your heart.” Well, every one is wrong.
