My wife, from distant lands no less, has requested more blogging from me, her husband. I have no choice but to comply. :-)

A couple weird things happened at work today. I was pretty darn tired because of the day I had anyway. It was a GREAT day, though! I haven't had a day where I felt I had accomplished so much in a long time. It's awesome to get things done; especially when they're going to bring so much joy to someone else. hehe Anyway, I lent a cd that my friends made to a co-worker who's Christian. It's an incredible worship cd, which is lacking in this area. I really thought he'd dig it because worship at his church is super...old. I asked him what he thought when I got to work today and he said the only song he liked was the only one they didn't write. "Jesus, Holy and Annointed One...Jesus." So anyway, he said musically it sounded great, it just wasn't his "style." That's fine, but for some reason I got really offended. I didn't shhow it at all, but deep down, I felt like he was dissing my friends. I think that music impacts us on such a deep level, so when someone "doesn't like" your kind of music, it's hard to deal with. Like, "How in the world could this NOT impact you?" I hope I'm not alone in this...

Another thing was that I had one of my beliefs bluntly questioned. This kid I work with is thinking about "giving his life to Christ" but he asked me, "Do you think that it might just not be right for some people?" I was baffled as to how to answer that. In my mumbling I basically said that if you really have a desire in your heart to seek God, I think it's open to you. I believe that. But I think he could tell I was thinking about all the predestination stuff as I was talking. So that was really awkward. Secondly, I got to think what it means to "give your life to Christ." Is it an instant action? He said he already gave his life to Christ a couple days ago but hasn't seen any change and doesn't feel any different. I asked him what it meant to him to do that and he couldn't respond. Honestly, I couldn't really either. I think it's imperative to understand what Christ did on the cross and believe in the resurection. You need to accept that; the sacrifice and that Christ is risen and lives again. I guess I'm not sure what imediate evidence there is when you place your faith in Him...lots of thinking to do. :-)

Well, I'm already going to get less sleep than I want, but that's ok. I work at 5:30am but I don't work too long, which is nice. I'll have plenty of time to take a little nap if needed. I really need to look forward to tomorrow. Attack it. God will give me rest.

Oh, and wife...get your booty home to me. I miss you.

Don't worry everyone, the mush will stop in less than a week! :-)
