I’m fed up with God

// May 31st, 2010 // Comments Off // Life

I’m fed up with God being so amazing.  Subject shock factor success lol.  I forget how beautiful a sunny day is living here in oregon and when we get one it always takes me off guard haha.  God’s beauty rocks my socks when I see a day like yesterday.

Sometimes I feel like my life is zipping by without me doing what I need to do and be where I need to be but other times I feel as if there is just so much for me to just go out and do for the Lord.  Kyle taught at church yesterday and I tip my hat to him because he prepared a good word.   I’ve recently been in a rut of just working, paying bills, working etc.   I’ve lost track or rather just forget to notice and seek God’s direction above my own plans.  Even know my plans have been pretty steady and not really going anywhere lately I just realized that I haven’t been asking if God wanted me somewhere else.    Kyle reminded me of this thought during his sermon which is always a good reminder.

On another note I dislike the lakers for beating the suns… ok untrue I disliked them before they beat the suns haha.

Sick

// March 16th, 2010 // Comments Off // Life

I’ve been sick for the past few days and not feeling like doing much even know I’ve been working.   Sitting on a computer really isn’t taxing on the body as long as I make time to get a good nights sleep I suppose.  Plus I tend to drink more water while working than just sitting around.

Though my mind focuses on things differently when I’ve got somewhat of a headcold… for instance if you look at the word ’search’ in all uppercase letters ‘SEARCH’ for too long it starts to look like its spelled incorrectly.

I also decided to take a 36-hour break from facebook.  I honestly have lived up to that pretty much so far but I have quickly checked it to make sure nothing important was getting missed.
I in general sort of dialed back my internet usage these past 2 days just to put more time into my actual health.  I made some soup with dumplings last night which was just tasty. Mine soup and dumplings doesn’t even come close to Marvin’s dumpling soup that he brought over for me on sunday night!

I’ve got 3 projects up in the air right now with people calling and emailing telling me that they need them done which is a little stressing when I’m sick but I do what I do because I love to do the do.  Or do I?

Man I really love the “Love Drunk” album from Boys Like Girls.  My suspicion is that they are using drum replacement/triggers on it.

Random: On my drive home from work on mondays and fridays I’ve noticed this dude at the bus stop who looks just like Tyson Ritter (all-american rejects front-man).

I’ve gotta start preparing for worship this sunday… I hope I feel better by then because my throat is still sore and its almost wednesday.   I think I’m gonna skip wednesday night church just to give my voice more time to heal.  Everyone probably thinks I’m in NJ because I usually get 1 or 2 people who ask me that if they haven’t seen me for a week haha.

I’ve got the sudden urge to watch Top Gun with the surround sound system on… I wish netflix had it on the “Watch Instant” feature.  You know now that I think about it all I really want to do is listen to “Highway to the dangerzone”.  Yeah maybe I’ll just pull this video up on the tv…

The balloon thought

// March 2nd, 2010 // Comments Off // Life

I was watching this video and I had a thought.

When you’ve got a balloon and the string slips out of your hand, you first panic but then after a second you enjoy watching to see how far that it can go.

I think this analogy applies to a lot of things. For some people maybe its the need to move away to start a career, for others maybe its the need to give up control of something so others can excel and for some maybe its taking the plunge into a relationship.  I currently like to see it as the balloon being my life plans and the wind being God’s direction, I just need to let the string go and follow Him with every movement of a muscle, every thought in my mind and word on my lips.

All this from a balloon…huh.

My Love

// February 23rd, 2010 // Comments Off // Life

What will it take for us to heal, to love, to cry, to smile?

How long will this process keep our love and our heart in an intimate denial?

The moments never fade that I miss your shining little face and the warmth of your little fingers embrace.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. Now and forever you remain in my love.

To-do List for tomorrow…

// January 25th, 2010 // Comments Off // Life

Oh I feel like my mind is going to run all night so I better put this down so that I can rest easy.

1. Call Dan to see if we can get together.
2. Lay down vocals for "Trust my love"
3. Record DJsiah Radio Taglines for Dead Man Sleeping and Keep On Dancing.
4. Finish up some tracking on the on spec song for the tonino lamborghini commercial.
4. Clean the kitchen and do some dishes.
5. Have some chocolate chip cookies and milk before bed.
6. Continue my journey through the book of Isaiah.

Sounds like its going to be a full evening once I get out of work.
I think I may start reading through my hermeneutics book again just to bring to mind things to think about while reading through the bible this year.

Whats new?

// January 22nd, 2010 // Comments Off // Life

I’ve been blessed so I like to keep busy by blessing others …

I overhauled Redeemed Motorcycle Ministries web site to give it some functionality that it was missing before.  Pictures and such need to be added but at least the contact info is up to date haha.
Check it out… rmmnj.org

I finished off the music for the Anthem of Hope Encouragement disc which was fun because I got to score it like a movie.  I know that God is going to use it to bless many many people so I’m excited… and it brings joy to my heart to be a part of this ministry.
Check out the anthem of hope at… anthemofhope.com

Produced a song with Benjiman all about old school bmx building.  It has an old school sort of feel to it.  I’ve got some more mixing to do on it but I’ll let everyone know when its released.
Check benjiman out here… myspace.com/benjimanactivate
 

There is one more ministry in my cross-hairs that I want to bless with a new web site soon but first I need to find time for that.

Ok now I’m off to the shower and then I put my producer hat back on yet again.

Somethings going down…

Hmmm.

On another note… I’m going to try to make beef stroganof for some friends tomorrow.  Hopefully I don’t flub it up like I did last time.
I forgot the beef bullion and onions last time which is where most of the flavor comes from.

Spread a little happiness

// January 22nd, 2010 // Comments Off // Life

Coke is an amazing company… in terms of spreading "their" gospel… they’ve out done the church.  There is most likely coca-cola in places that havent even heard the gospel yet and for that we should be ashamed but in a small way inspired.  I remember a story pastor wes told during sunday night church a few years ago… he went on this mission trip and it took hours on a plane… then they traveled by jeep for hours… then by boat for hours and then a 2 day hike to reach this remote tribe that has never heard the gospel…when they had arrived the tribes people offered them a coke.
Just something to think about while you watch this funny video…

Stand by your word

// January 22nd, 2010 // Comments Off // Life

At the beginning of the year I heard this commercial on air1 radio for this web site manofhisword.net.

It was a challenge for men to read their bible everyday and through the whole bible in 1 year.  I signed up because that was already my resolution.   My reading time in the past has come in waves… sometimes I’d read it consistently for awhile and then I’d slack off for awhile and so on.

Growing up in the motorcycle community taught me a lot about respect and standing behind your word.  Bikers rely on their reputation a lot and if it were tarnished it could mean some serious consequences.

Seeing things through is something that I strive to do and yes I do fail a lot of times but it tears me up inside when I fail.  If nothing else everyone should know that when I say that I’m going to do something I will do my best to do it.

If you ever find yourself slacking off on your relationship with God… I challenge you to make Him a promise and stand by that word.
There are 11 months left in this year (2010) to draw close to God and its never too late to give God your word of commitment.

Google Nexus One Phone

// January 17th, 2010 // Comments Off // Life

So I was thinking of upgrading to a nexus one phone (googles new phone).   There are two options… I can either buy the phone with a two year contract and a new plan for $179 or I can buy the unlocked phone with no contract and keep my current plan for $529.

After I crunched some numbers I realized that if I keep my current plan which is more than enough for me I would save $444.00 each year which means by the first year it would come out to $94 cheaper for me to by the $529 phone instead of the $179 phone with the new plan.

It would also mean that I save $538 dollars in the amount of time that I would have been locked into that 2 year contract.

Gee wiz I’m glad I crunched some numbers.

With google voice and my fave 5 plan I have unlimited calling and data for only $65 a month which right now is a plan that I don’t want to get rid of so I think I may just buy the unlocked phone outright.
Now at $529 that is a lot of money for a phone… I wonder if there is a phone better than the nexus one for that price.
