Why don't I ever post anymore?

I don't really know except for laziness I guess. Blogging just hasn't been as exciting as I'd hope here lately but who knows it could all change again. We'll see.

Another one off the list

Well Monday night I was able to finally after 5 or 6 years go and see Hillsong United in concert. They are one of the bands that I have not seen that I wanted to see more than any other and since they hail from Austrailia they only tour here once or twice a year and its normally for a few weeks. This year they came earlier in the year and hit major markets, then came back a few weeks ago for "smaller" markets and a few festivals, then they will be back later in the year for a few more smaller market cities, like Columbus Ohio and yes the thought has crossed my mind to go see them there as well but more than likely not. It was well worth the wait. Took Taylor, Cody, Matty T and Haley with me and we all had a good time and really enjoyed the show. I'll blog later more details on the show.

This was the 6th concert I've been to already this year, WinterJam at Ft. Wayne in January, Lincoln Brewster in Greenfield and Philmont at FFC in Feb., none in March, in April I saw Sent By Ravens/Write This Down/ and Icon for Hire at FFC and Lincoln Brewster again in Ft. Wayne and then United in Indy. Next month is Disciple at FFC and August might be another show at FFC then from there who knows, Illumination is in September in Greenville, OH, hoping that JOY FM needs me to help at that one since we play just about all the bands on Solid Rock Friday Nights. Now at the top of my list of bands to see is probably Demon Hunter or Anberlin. Who knows who else I'll see this year.

Do you have an app for that?

Saw a commercial the other day where there is an app for you phone where you can start you car, really. Do we need that? What if you hit it by accident at work or something and your car runs out of gas, that would be funny as long as it wasn't you. It made me think whats next, will there be an app to flush your toliet, now that would be cool but seriously. It could be fun to play tricks on people who come over and have to go to your bathroom though. Is there an app to turn up people's intelligence? I know on the TV there is a brightness level but that doesn't seem to help some shows though. What about one to load and unload your washer and drier, dishwasher, cook supper, I could go on and on. Maybe I oughta pitch these to the phone companies. Anything I left out?

Is this thing still on?

I thought when we got the internet back here at the house I'd be blogging and such but that hasn't been the case. Oh I've thought about it and had some things I'd like to blog about but alas laziness has taken over and I never did. Hopefully that will change and blogging will become fun and a normal routine again. I do know that I really like my job in Muncie and actually look forward to it, with the exception of the getting up early part. Been there about 8 months and enjoy it, it is alot of fun. Still enjoying the radio stuff too and the concerts at The Branches that have happened. I'll save all that for another blog sometime.

We're back.................

The internet got hooked back up today so its good to be back online, who knows maybe I'll start blogging again. Lots of things have happened since I last blog so I'll try and catch up soon.

Waiting is over

Well the waiting is finally over, on Monday I start a new job at Muncie Transit Supply where I will be getting orders ready for Greyhound bus company. MTS is a supplier of bus parts and it is a warehouse seeting with about 10 people pulling orders so that is cool. I like the fact that there aren't hundreds of people working there where you have 50 or 60 people's names to try and remember so that is a plus. I actually had an interview there last year but didn't get the job and for whatever reason stopped in there last week and they said to call back this week, which I wasn't able to do because they called me for an interview last Friday. Did the interview on Monday and they called Wednesday and offered me the job. I feel good about this situation and am thankful that God is good and He has a plan. Ready to get rolling with this now.

Only bad part of this is that in a couple of weeks I was to fill in at JOY FM for the Workday Wrap-Up and that was gonna be fun but I think permenant employment ranks a little higher right now. I still have Saturdays and SRF so that is all good on the radio front. Youth has been fun the past few weeks and now we are at a time where we'll meet regularly this Sunday, next Sunday is Father's Day so we won't have a lesson just hang out time then a lesson the following week, then no youth for July 4th then the next Sunday is the week that the 6th graders now move up and the 8th graders go to high school youth. Finally on July 18th we will settle down and start a 14 week series on sharing your faith called "Bringing it up without throwing up." Catchey title huh? That should be fun and hopefully it will speak to some of them and get them to share their faith easier.

Waiting

Am I the only one who ever gets impatient, I'm not, cool you all know what I'm talking about then. For the last year and a half I've been unemployed for most of it, the first lay off was as 2009 was just getting started, I didn't see it coming at all but I was OK with it, I knew and still do know that God has something better for me, something that is "right up my alley" but I'm waiting to see what that is. After spending 7 months unemployed I got hired at a warehouse driving a forklift. It was fun and met some pretty cool people but alas in December the work that we were doing was done for a few months so once again I got laid off. Once again no problem, God is in control and He knows what He's doing and where I'm supposed to be. So once again back to waiting to see where that and what that is.

A month or so ago I was offered a job in Winchester which to be honest with you never set well with me. Now I didn't mind that the drive to work would be less than half of what its been for the last 15 years but I just never felt right about the whole thing. Went to orientation and still wasn't feeling at peace with it, on the way over I prayed that if this is where I was supposed to be that I'd know, that feeling never came so after lunch I told them that it wasn't for me. I felt free after that and within a week or so I was reaffirmed that I'd done the right thing by some events that happened. I still know that somewhere out there in this big old world God has a plan for me and the perfect situation, I will wait on that. Waiting, Tom Petty said it was the hardest part and I think he's right. I know that its not MY timing but GOD'S timing that is perfect and in His timing I'll be where I'm supposed to be so for now I'll just wait and know that He is in control. It gets frustrating and nerve racking sometimes and during those times the enemy likes to sneak in and try and ruin everything by making me worry and regret and well you get the picture. I won't let him steal this season of waiting, maybe its a good season to grow stronger in God's word or just grow in Him while I wait. So I'll wait, watch and listen.
