This Englishman now has his castle

21 08 2008

Well it finally happened. We almost own a house. Just need the signatures on the dotted line:)

Thanks to many people and major miracles we have the house we wanted. It went from out of reach, impossible, to done and done I’m about 12 hours!

Hopefully I’ll have all kinds of interesting blogs to write after this. But don’t hold your breath. I don’t want deaths on my shoulders!





Rambling on

19 08 2008

It just occured to me that I have had the ability to blog at any moment that something wise, amusing, or irrelevant strikes me for over a month. Just one of the many unexplored (by me) benefits that the iphone gives to humanity… So there you have it. Wonder what it is that makes simple things so hard: I should read more, could do it with my iPhone, I could be more organized, I have no end of helpful apps. at my disposal. I could even read the Bible more, it’s right there at my finger tips. I have the Word of God with me and I still don’t look and see what He has to say to me. I’ll let you know if I figure it out. I’ll email you from my iPhone and tell you when I’ll be in town for a book signing.





The problem with the world today…

10 05 2008

Okay well I’m here at the folks waiting to help my Dad with some doors, and my uncle called so he’s yacking away on the phone. I figure I can fill this moment of otherwise wasted time by sharing my jewel like thoughts with you all. Lucky you.

As the title of the post suggests I have figured out what is wrong with the world: People. Simply put we’re a pain in the planets arse. Anyway I’m going to do doors now and then I’ll finish where I was headed with all this later. Till then…

And now I’m back. It’s Sunday evening and I am trying in vain to prolong going to bed so that I feel like I get the most out of the weekend. Still I’m done hanging doors at my parents house and doing Mothers Day type things (it is Mothering Sunday here in the US) so I figured what better than to finish the nice post I was planning!

Well sadly, as is so often the case, stopping my blogging mid rant means that I have forgotten all of what I was ranting about. A huge loss no doubt. But I will get to the main point. I am losing faith in much of the human race. This happens from time to time. The trigger this time around was whilst reading a comic book i came across a statement from Capitan America. And it was one of the most solid and profound statements about our society I have seen recently. I was about to go join his resistance at that very moment. Alas we don’t have superheros. And I’m a big nerd. Oh well.

Still I was prompted to spend some more time in the blogging world and make sure that I remember to write down some of the things that wander through my head so that I can look back and check on myself and make sure I’m barking up the right tree.

Even more so since hearing Jeff’s sermon this morning about Freedom in Christ. Making the choice for ourselves. It struck me that I should be ‘journaling’ in some form what I believe God is saying in my life so that I can see if I’m sticking to the choices I make, or if I keep cycling back and forth. Falling into the same traps again and again. Plus I need to make sure I am listening to what God has to say and that I am paying attention. I’m going to think of it as my own ‘War Journal’ as I go through my life. It makes me think I’m achieving something Punisher like :) Hopefully it will help remind me that I am in a battle everyday and that all people are Gods children. Some of them are just bigger pains in the arse than others. Long and random I am afraid, but it is for me personally not you! I highly doubt anyone reads this anyway, but if you do I hope it helps you in someway, and I of course welcome any comments you might have.

And with that: Good night.

Here is the first entry in the blog! So far all I can tell you for sure is that I have opinions on nearly everything. And they’re all right. As in correct. Just ask my wife…

I like to think that I’m a straight shooting, no nonsense common sense kind of guy . You may think otherwise, but I highly doubt your reading this anyway. And if you are great. Disagree with me all you want. We all know that, living in a Democracy (or Republic…), means what I believe has nothing to do with anything the government actually does anyway. And you’re in no danger of me running the country so relax and smile. If you disagree tell me why: It’ll give me something to smile about!

This married, working, bill paying, father of almost 2 (2nd due April 16th) is off to Church. Thats right Church. So until I get another 5 mins you’re on you’re own. Try not to screw things up :)
