Since I am moving in a few days, I have started to pack up the food that I will not be using in the next week. And I realized we do truly do live in the land of plenty. I filled 2 boxes of dry goods, and still have some more dry goods left to pack, and that does not include the dry goods I plan on using in the next week. Then there is the fridge and freezer. I have over the last month let those go empty but they still have plenty of food in them. We should truly give thanks to God above for the bounty that he has given to us.

I had some fun tonight. The church had a thanksgiving dinner for the students before they left for the thanksgiving break. So we had a full thanksgiving meal tonight. An interesting thing happened though. An old friend of mine who I know from the University of Pittsburgh was there. It turns out his girlfriend is taking ESL classes at my church. It was great to see him again. It was a fun night.

I am going to try to quit slashdot again, this time I gave a friend of mine my ID and password and asked him the change my login info so I can not log in. I hope that I can get off of slashdot this time. Things there have just gotten so childish that it is not funny anymore.

A while back a friend of mine showed me a web site called Luther Quest Then again I saw it come up in another mailing list I am a member of. I figure I might look around and participate in it for a while and see what it is about. It does look interesting, I know of 2 people that post there, I hear that Pastor Hogg and Father Fenton both post there, 2 men I have great respect for. I have seen posts by Pastor Hogg there; I have not seen anything by Father Fenton yet. I will dabble there a bit before I will say if it is good or not. I wonder what Pastor Hogg and Father Fenton think of it.

I have finally got the video section of the web site up. This is where I will put all the videos I put on my site. It should be a bit cleaner since I want to put a bit of a description on them and do not want them to be put in with the pictures on my site, I think it came out nice; I am using phpNuke to do the videos.

Well tonight we had a game night for LSF from First Trinity. It was fun we played some trivial pursuit. The game went on for a few hours; we just could not roll the numbers that we needed to get to the pie areas. We finally when it was down to the very end did a sudden death question, an impartial 3rd party asked the question and the first team to belt out the answer won. It was a very easy question. Well if you go to my Photo Gallery you can see some pictures from tonight. Here is a direct link

Well I just spent the last 4 hours working on a demo site for my church. I have some ideas for a new site, I am thinking of using phpNuke for it. So I installed it configured it, put some icons up for the sections, put some content in to it. I then went out and got a photo gallery add on for the software and put some test pictures in to it. If the Pastors at my church like it then I will be in business.

Gonzales to come after Ashcroft

Published on: November 11, 2004

This is not good; Bush has betrayed the pro-lifers that came out to vote for him. I think this is a travesty. We thought we had a victory for the unborn and Bush turns around and does this. My question is why are not the Christian groups out there not all upset about this; I doubt they really believe what they say. I am listing to Issue Etc, on KFUO, right now and they are the only one I hear talking about this, and Rev. Todd Wilken is asking the question why not. That is what I want to know, they say they are for the life issue, but they do not seam to be upset about Gonzales. As soon as this show gets archived I will put a link to their site that has it up.

Moving

I have started to notify to companies that provide me with services/bill me that I am going to be moving. I figure I should start now so that when I move it will be smooth and there will be no interruption of service and everything will be up and ready for me. I don’t think that the DSL be ready for me when I move I will have to do some dialing in for internet access but maybe if I give them 2 weeks notice it will be ready for me when I move in, that would be nice no lose of net access, but I am doubtful that I could get that to happen unless the previous tenant had DSL. I am going to have some things scheduled to jump over the day before I move and something for after the day I move.

Tonight

Well tonight I went with a couple of my friends to Dave and Busters, because it is my 28th birthday. I would like to say that we had fun, but since I know the games there, there was not challenge at the games for me, and I know what it is like to loss at a game when you stand no chance, I would like to go back with them and see if they can improve at the games to the point where I was playing them. I am not the greatest at them but I am not a beginner at them. But if they can get better it could make the games more fun for both them and me. But the food was good. I did enjoy talking with them. And then some time this weekend I will be getting together with my parents to celebrate it again. They were out of town and I don’t have a working vehicle to get out to where they live so we have to put it off for a bit. Some time in December I am going to have to look into getting a new vehicle for the few times I do drive, but for now I still have my bike and I can get around on that.

Japanese scientist invents ‘invisibility coat’ This could be fun if it worked just a little bit better. He says it is for medical use, but could you imagine what the army could do with this if it worked allot better!! We would not have had to invade Iraq an agent could have walked in and popped off Hussein!!
