What do you have to offer?

August 28th, 2009 · Christianity, Church, God, Ministry

So I spend my mornings drinking coffee, trying to translate ancient Hebrew, and finding new apps for my iPod touch. And I find myself wondering today what I will do with what I study. I know that I need to use what God has given me to further His kingdom. And as I review what God has given me I realize how little my gifts are grouped together. I mean by this that the things I am good at are rather spread out. I am good with technology, I am an extrovert, I am an academic, I am a musician (but not a vocalist LOL), and I love teaching. So what do I do with these? I don’t question I will use these things I just wonder how.

As a praise God has given me a job in the technology world, utilizing my extrovert nature and my love of teaching. But what to do with my other gifts?

Please be praying that karina and I can find a church home soon where we can use our gifts to further their youth ministry.

Thanks for reading

The Camera Saga…Finished…?

August 21st, 2009 · Uncategorized

So I got my camera back today.  And so in accordance with the wishes of Matt Anderson I have posted my first picture I took since getting it back.   Because I felt like celebrating a fantastic vacation in Oregon, and coming back to a (for now) working camera.  Here is the picture.

That’s right a little Porter to make everything just that much better

Selling the Sentra :(

August 5th, 2009 · Uncategorized

I bought my 04 Sentra back in 07… And now its time to let it go. Its been a very fun but ultimately unnecessary car and drain on my monthly budget.  So it has made its way onto the ultimate yard sale website. Craigslist.

Here it is on Craigslist. Sad :(

The camera saga continues

August 3rd, 2009 · Uncategorized

So I got my camera back not too long ago, and it worked. Then I went to Redding and took some photos at Moonstone Bistro and what do ya know? Good ole Error 99 came back to say hi. Again, and again, and again. Sooooo Geek Squad has sent it off again. And I will hopefully seek my camera in 2-3 weeks.

If it keeps doing this I might actually switch to Nikon with whatever credit they give me and see if I can sell my old canon gear and get a nice lens for the nikon.

So I got my camera back

July 19th, 2009 · Photography

I am very excited to say that I need no longer rant. My Canon Digital Rebel XS is back in my loving care after having the CCD board replaced, which is essentially the motherboard of the camera. Part of me secretly hoped that they would offer to credit me towards a new camera. I really want to switch to Nikon. But hey what can you do.

But nonetheless I am happy to have the opportunity to do some photography. Praise God.

I want my camera back ( A Rant )

July 15th, 2009 · Uncategorized

During Christmas 08 my beloved Rebel XT died. Luckily the protection plan replaced it with the Rebel XS, then during my trip to Pennsylvania it started malfunctioning. It is so frustrating to deal with having faulty technology. But more than that it is really really frustrating to not have the technology to play with at all. So B(Squared) send me back my fixed camera. STAT.

American Idol Live 2009 in SacTown

July 11th, 2009 · Uncategorized

So I went to Sacramento today and watched the Top 10 of Season 8 American Idol rock the Arco arena. It was a pretty fantastic show. The highlight? Not hearing “No Boundaries” sung. I love Kris Allen, and I loathe that song and co-writer Kara Diaguardi or however you spell her name, I could care less about it. But yah that song was never once uttered on stage.

Instead Kris Allen let the penultimate song by “Hey Jude” and the whole top 10 closed out with “Don’t Stop Believin’” by Journey, recently made famous by Fox’s new show Glee.

All together a great time, will edit with pictures later.

Switching up the Fast

July 8th, 2009 · Uncategorized

So Karina and I have realized it is not a viable financial option to keep having to purchase and repurchase fruits and vegetables all the time. So we are eating normally (but healthily) and are switching to no TV, no X-Box, no Wii, not Computer Games, until I land another job.
