I’m always amazed at how poorly I grasp English when I actually read someone who knows how to use it.

I expect to be using the dictionary often in this book.

wish me luck

this is the motorola q.

it was once the hot phone on the market, what with its internet access, qwerty keyboard and infared beaming. plus it made calls too. always a helpful feature in a phone (though my local AT&T friends probably have yet to experience this part of mobile phone ownership).

unfortunately for motorola, every phone makes calls, two of those features became standard everywhere and we didn’t get all that excited about beaming information to people we were sitting right next to. not necessarily a bad idea, just doesn’t really work for all of us.

not sure why I’m thinking about this, but it’s got me thinking about what I invest in, lifewise.

some things seem like a good idea at the time but really aren’t something that’s worthwhile for our futures. they’re popular for a moment, but obsolete in the long run.

some things might be new or take some development, but are good investments for the future.

and some things should always be standard. if I don’t spend my time developing the standard, foundational stuff, then relational, spiritual and ministerial decline is in my future.

anyway, clearly I haven’t been in the e-saddle for a while. that’s ok. working on some of the other investments. like this guy:

so, in the end I hope I’m pouring into the calling and qwertying and not burning a lot of life on infared beaming.

in central california, we don’t get much in the way of weather. unless of course you count car-crushing fog that makes you feel like you’re in a sherlock holmes novel.

recently our little area has been having a hard time deciding what season it’s in. one minute it’s sunny, the next it’s rainy. sunny. rainy. rainy. sunny.

i’m guessing it’s wreaking havoc on the lizard population.

now, when i say ‘rainy’ i don’t mean rain like anyone else in the country has it. i mean, “ooh, fun, it’s raining!” rainy. just yesterday me and kelly were talking about how we sort of forgot thunder even existed.

so, if you were going to choose sun or rain, which would it be?

i love technology.

unfortunately for me, games are a big part of technology. and i’m not good at games. at all.

there is an upside, however.

having an iPhone means i get a daily dose of humility as i hang my head, hand my phone to my wife and say, ‘can you beat this for me?’

thanks for the level ups, honey.

christmastime is over and the holiday decor has been shelved (theoretically).

the question is, what is the first album you reach for after the christmas carol playlist is ceremoniously deleted from your iTunes?

(and, yes, i know some of you are still listening to christmas music. that doesn’t count)

so, let’s hear it. what’s your first post-christmas music?

thanks Lord.

hope everyone has a wonderful day with family.

and thanks mr. feil for the photo.

don’t mind if i do.

follow mr. smith
follow mr. baloche

why am i changing my name? is there like a killer after me? am i in witness protection?

if i am, my new name would be the most common first name followed by the most common last name.

middle name would be Maximillion.

Ask me anything
