On May 31, 2009 By

Your deeds much less Your ways.
Con­fused by what I read and even what I sing
Will it be thus always?
I think per­haps my intro­spec­tion is to blame

Wanted: Surprise from God

On May 28, 2009 By

I’m still try­ing to fig­ure out how to make this Out­reach Trip work.  I’m think­ing it’d be so much bet­ter to let God show Him­self strong than to try and han­dle it all on my own.  With this thought, I’m going to let God worry about get­ting the finances in place and I’ll focus on […]

Changes Pending …

On May 25, 2009 By

So, appar­ently the US Army is con­sid­er­ing a move to Win­dows Vista from Win­dows XP.  On a pop­u­lar tech web­site, Slash­dot, tech­nol­ogy gurus and trolls alike get very pas­sion­ate about what they beleive in.  Here’s a cou­ple of funny quotes from the con­ver­sa­tion on the site

the Mission

On May 21, 2009 By

I’m on a mis­sion.  The new LifesPassion.org web­site is up and I’m look­ing for a lit­tle help.  Ideas, money and prayers…  Read about the new ven­ture here: http://tr.im/outreachmission.  I’m look­ing to take the trip as soon as finances are avail­able, but have a penciled-in date of Spring or Summer 2010.

An Idea …

On May 19, 2009 By

I’m work­ing on a new project. { and you may have some input that could help }

I’d like to get your input on an out­reach project of mine I’d like to par­tic­i­pâté in. I’m con­sid­er­ing an over­seas out­reach trip for one or two weeks to do some kind of con­struc­tive work to help oth­ers. Teaching […]

On May 18, 2009 By

I must admit I’m human.  I know, silly me, being so much like the other humans.  I have neglected to keep up with my “Thank­ful­ness Jour­nal” page here on the site, but I will promise to do bet­ter and would appre­ci­ate your com­ments when you see some­thing that helps you.  –Thank you.
