I’m still getting the hang of this Facebook deal and if you wrote on my wall, don’t feel bad that I didn’t respond. It had nothing to do with you. I just don’t know what I’m doing. You would think, for someone that sells computers I could figure out Facebook, but the truth is I haven’t spent any time on it to really understand it. I have the App on my phone, but I can only do certain things and I’m not a huge fan of people poking me and buying me (whatever that means). I keep it simple no extra applications on my facebook page.

If you’re a Facebooker add me as a friend. I’m pushing an impressive number of 14 friends. Let’s get that number up.

I’ve been re-reading Crazy Love. It’s just one of those books that stretch me and make me think. I completely agree with the book, but I have a tough time saying okay to God in some of those areas. I love the amount of God’s Word that Chan uses. Nothing in the book isn’t backed up my scripture after scripture.

Would anyone notice a difference if you just stopped believing in God?

I would love for the answer to be yes, but for most of us. If we were honest with ourselves, our answer would have to be no. Go spend some time with your Creator.

Crazy Love: Overwhelmed by a Relentless God

Since our internet isn’t working at our house and Tuesday and Wednesday are my long days at Apple. I finally have time to blog. It I was better at Twitter I could of been twittering, but as we all know. I’m not a twitter-er (not sure if I made that word up). I wish I would be able to say a lot has happened in my life and in the life of Ridgepoint, but that just wouldn’t be true. Here is a quick update:

• I’m liking the free internet from Starbucks. Makes my life so much easier and cheaper. Paradise Bakery was getting stinking expensive.
  
• Andrew got back into town from Turkey on Sunday. It was good to see him. He is off again to Colorado for two weeks. At least I get to spend the weekend up there in a couple weeks. Going up for my mom’s birthday. While picking up Andrew our car broke down and Andrew, Matt and I had to hitch a ride with Keith. Tedd got to ride back with his car and the tow truck. It made it a night. It would of been just boring with we picked up Andrew and headed back to my house.
• Looking for another job it looks like. Apple doesn’t look like they are going to hire for full-time for a couple of months. I need something now, not in a couple of months. So we’ll see. Anyone have a lead on a job, let me know. Not thinking retail. I’ve had enough of that to last a life-time.
• Haven’t gotten the iPhone 3G. I’m thinking about waiting now. Not really sure I want it. Not a lot different then my current one. We’ll see. I did promise Myra my old one.
• Ridgepoint has a direction we are headed with out Community aspect to our ministry. Our vision has always had a two sides. One was the church and the other was the community. We want to make a difference. Not for the sake of Ridgepoint, but for the sake of the people of our community. I could care less if they ever set foot inside of a Ridgepoint service. We want them to meet Jesus. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again. I’ll spend money, resources, time and energy on whoever; whether they will ever be apart of Ridgepoint or not; I just want them to know and fall in love with Jesus!
• Please keep praying for Ridgepoint and the leadership God has called to lead this church (who ever they my be, God hasn’t told me yet).
• [Starbucks Internet is going in and out.]
• My weekend starts in two more days. I’m stoked.
• That’s enough for now. Hopefully it all makes sense. I’m not planning on reading over it.

I love the idea to have a place to dump my thoughts, the downside is because this is a public form I can only dump certain thoughts. All of my other thoughts have to be dumped into my Moleskin. I’ve been using it for little over a year and love having everything in my head in one place to look back on. My problem is that I never look back at them. I need to fix that. So I’m going to have a special installment of Random Randomness and dump my Moleskin here on my blog:

It’s cool to be able to track my thoughts through the pages. When Ridgepoint’s vision came together and our core values were put down on paper for the first time. My thoughts from Israel. Verses that spoke to my heart at a specific time.

Here is my desktop. Love the new folder fan features of Leopard; they de-cluttered my desktop. The only files that you find on my desktop are action files that still need to be processed. Picture is of Cal swimming. I have it setup for the picture to change every 15 minutes. Nice change of pace.

Last week’s group was amazing. It been a couple of weeks since I was able to make it and I’m so glad I was able to. We got way off subject from the book we were working through, but I walked away challenged and inspired to know my God more intimately. Special thanks to Schuyler for challenging my thought.
Read through Genesis 32:22-32 and talked about God calling us to a purpose in life. We wrestle with God to give up aspects of our lives so He can move in ways that will blow our mine. It hurts to give up things we love, but we find true Joy when we are doing what God calls us to do.
