For the past two years I have been the A/V guy for Bearean Christian Church’s Gwinnett campus.  It’s been a great time, and the extra money has helped me through what would have been a few tough times otherwise. This church is not my ‘main church’, but it was somewhere I managed to learn a good bit about the word. (Even if I had to weed out stuff I don’t agree with.)

Last night it became official.  Pastor Kevin Lee called me to confirm what i had been fearing/hoping (does that make sense?)  For a few months now.  January 1st, they will be using their own sound guy and will no longer need my assistance.  While, I am kind of scared of that, for financial reasons, I am 100% certain that God will provide.  I am grateful that this has happened as well.  See.  The three days a week I worked were Mondays at 6:30pm, Thursdays at 6:30pm and Saturdays at 4:30pm.  So, while I was with work, it was just right in the middle of convenience.  Especially on Saturdays.  It didn’t feel like we could have a chill morning, then go for breakfast, and maybe catch a matinee show without feel rushed.  Come 2009 that won’t be the case.

Come 2009, I can pursue some things Andrea and I have been talking about.  Come 2009 I can focus on my wife, my personal career, and of course God.  In 2009 I will be a 1 (almost) job man.  So, while this may be crushing financially, it will be anything but in most other aspects of my life.

God is good.

Is there something that gets you out of bed each morning?  A quote, a song, a person or a thought?

Share with us.  OH, and.. share why.

GO

So.. My beautiful, wonderful, awesome, lovely wife did a “Tag” thing,  I wasn’t “tagged” but I thought, what the hay, I’ll do one.  Maybe you’ll learn something about me. Do this too, and comment a link to your blog!  Maybe we can all learn something about each other.

5 Joys

• Watching The Office, Top Chef, Heroes or Grey’s Anatomy. I know it’s really sad, but for some reason I am so into all of these shows! (I’ll second this!)
• Helping people with computer stuff. I know it sounds silly, but I get joy from teaching people something new.
• Music.  Any kind pretty much.  I enjoy a beat and something that goes with that.  I love it.. Such a unique beautiful art form.
• being the odd one out.  I like to stand out, and I like to do it with class if I can.  But if I have to make a situation awkward, I will.
• My wife.  Honestly, every day I’ve woken up next to her, I have to stop myself from tears of joy.  She motivates me to live.

5 Fears

• Not being able to protect of help the people I love.
• jail.  I’m not afraid to say that.  I don’t like it, and I get all scared feeling just thinking about it.
• letting people see the real me. I’m a scarred, broken person, I’m afraid if people realize that, they’ll think less of me. (instead I cover it up with comedy)
• singing in front of people.  I like singing, in my room or a small group of friends.
• Letting the ones I love down.

5 Obsessions

• Ok. I’ll say it.  Maybe the computer.
• I tap my foot when I go to bed… at least for a little while.
• Finding ways to use the internet for GOOD.
• Chili!  Mmmm On anything!  Hashbrowns, burgers, ANYTHING.
• Organization of my music files. I have a lot of music, and I have a very weird, but real way to organize.

5 6 Surprising Facts

• I have to use woman’s deodorant. And everything sensitive skin.  I have weird allergies to anything that cleans stuff..
• I love Rap music.  Old Rap music. Bad Rap music. AND I know the words to most of the songs. (As long as it’s from pre 20003.)
• I still get the nervous feelings when I think about my wedding day.  One of the scariest day of my life so far.
• The first time I met Andrea, I thought to myself, “That’s her.” I didn’t know what it meant at the time, I do now.
• I always root for the underdog.  If there is someone who is supposed to lose, I want them to win.  If someone is losing, I want them to come from behind and win.  I’m a sucker for happy endings.
• One more.   I cry at just about anything… Sad Movies, Happy Movies, Sports Movies, Stupid Movies, Talking about sweet moments, thinking about old friends, seeing old friends, when I’m happy, when I’m mad..  I cry.  I get overly emotional in every direction. Angry, happy, sad, whatever.

I was looking at my analytics and found some terms that got people here.  Some not so fitting, some are.

To the person who Googled:

“Best Writer” and “Worlds Best Writer” – I’m really sorry I let you down.  I really don’t know what Google was thinking, They should have pointed you here.
“danny devito and zacchaeus” – HA! I see the connection, except I don’t think Danny DeVito could climb a tree.
“how do you know when you encounter people from a past life” – I’m sorry. I do not know.
“Fool for Christ Andrea” – That’s great that Google knows I’m a fool for Christ, and Andrea..
“Do addicts care about anyone?” – Yes.  They do, but they are scarred somewhere, and need help.  Try your best to help them find help.
“I want alcohol first thing in the morning.“  – I’m sorry.  I’ve been there, it’s not fun.  Anything I can do to help?
“I want to talk about compassion on Jesus Christ” – Me TOO!!!  Read around, talk!

Those are just a few.  Some of them I thought were really relevant, and some of them I just wonder, what was Google thinking?  Maybe those were the yahoo search results. ha.  What weird search terms have YOU gotten?

Go.
