Someone subbed to me today so I came back here to accept their request and decided to write something while I'm here.

I'm sometimes surprised as I read back through some of the things I posted here and am somewhat bewildered that I actually wrote them.  Must have been a large burst of Spirit inspiration, for both the teachings and the poetry.  I seldom do either anymore.  I believe that as we progress in our "knowledge" of God, we sometimes lose the hunger and passion we have for the older things and just become so accustomed to them that we take them for granted and they lose that specialness they once had.  (If that makes any sense.)  For example, we study praise and worship and have such a heart for pursuing God that way but as we learn more about worship and realize that it encompasses much more than just "songs", we start to try and live lives of worship and suddenly the singing doesn't mean as much and gets neglected.  Why abandon something that has had such meaning in our lives?  Anyways...

We did get up to Erie to visit our Pastor friends over the 4th of July weekend.  Had a great time and wish those visits didn't always go by so quickly.  Their small church walked in the local parade and handed out 2400 bottles of free water of which the congregation donated so they did not have to purchase any with church funds.  A great way to show Christ's love to a community.

We also took a quick run to Cleveland Ohio on the long way home after Erie to visit the four Half-Price Books stores.  I bought about 20 worship CDs for a $1 a piece and my wife got several books she had been looking for.

Well I'm striving to think of something else to write so shall end it here.

Be Blessed!

Hi!!  Anyone still out there?  Hard to believe I have a life membership here and have neglected it for so long.

I see that my last entry was in February of 2010.  When i go back and read old posts it is like a diary of my life and I'm sort of sorry I haven't kept it up even if for my own sake.  I am still working as a Project Engineer with the Corps Repair people and have been pretty busy over this last year.  Things tend to fall apart when they get old and our facilities are all quite old so there is never a shortage of work to be done, just a shortage of money and manpower to get it done.  I have quite a challenge to get my projects for this fiscal year done by Spetmeber but, with the goodness of God, I will get it done.

I still lead worship for the 6-10 people that still attend our Saturday Night service but we are now in our summer recess (June - August) and will pick it back up in September. As always it is a labor of love in that I somwetimes don't want to do it but enjoy doing it at the same time.

We still get up to Erie to visit my best friend every month or so.  We skipped June but will heading up there for a few days soon.

Well this is sounding very boring.  I sometimes post some things on Facebook if anyone is interested.

Be Blessed!
