Quote of the Day

"Tragically, in most churches, the pain of change is greater than the pain of ineffectiveness." -Simple Church by Thom Rainer & Eric Geiger.

Going to be chewing on this one for awhile.

My Name is Matthew, and I'm a Mac Addict

I realized yesterday that I had an addiction. I was working on my laptop with the television on. A commercial came on for a school of trades. I was typing and not really paying attention. I glanced over, and I stopped in my tracks. They were offering some sort of course of study for a Mac Hinist. What on earth is a Mac Hiinist? I know computers, especially my beloved Mac, extremely well. For a split second my mind raced and I tried to solve this cryptic computer related occupation.

Thankfully, the pitchman explained that anyone could become a qualified MacHinist. That's a machinist. Yes, my computer has even changed the way I read.

Help me!

Another Monday

Mondays are just blah. Since I didn't know the definition of the word blah, I thought I would look it up and let you all see for yourself.

Blah - used to refer to something that is boring or without meaningful content.

Doesn't that just seem to describe Mondays to you?

Speed

Yesterday was the day. We were finally able to move from dial up internet to high speed. How on earth did we ever live without it? That said, this blog should be able to receive more attention since I will be able to upload it whenever I want.

Going Home

I was sitting at my desk yesterday when I got the call from a local funeral director. One of our older members in the church had passed away. He had been a man of strong faith and love for his Lord. Due to illness he just wasn't able to make it out anymore. Age takes it toll on all of us. Death is sad. It weighs on the heart. Yet, this man has found his reward. His time on earth while long by our standards, was really just a miniscule drop when compared to the eternal life that he has now found himself. Life forever with the Lord. Enjoy it friend. Some day I'll see you there.
