Monday Morning Perspective

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

So often I don’t feel like getting up in the morning, and I let the day get to me before it even starts. Especially Mondays. Days when I don’t want to be awake are the times when it’s most important to get my focus in the right place. John McGowan has an excellent post about […]

Awesome weekend

Monday, January 23rd, 2006

Just a quick post to say that I had an awesome weekend. I had no homework to do, and I had plenty of time for relaxation and catching up with several friends. Friday, I was able to visit one of the campus ministries that sponsors vtONE that I had never personally visited before, which was […]

Reflection from an anonymous friend

Friday, January 20th, 2006

Borrowed (yes, I have permission to use it) from an anonomyous friend’s away message a little while ago. I think it’s very well put. He’s reflecting on Proverbs 4:18-19. “The path of the righteous is like the first gleam of dawn, shining ever brighter till the full light of day.” What He means is that […]

Two days down . . .

Wednesday, January 18th, 2006

I’ve now been to all my classes once. Here’s a course review: NUMERICAL ANALYSIS: this class doesn’t seem too bad, but the lecture is in a hot room and the professor is Indian with a very low monotone. It has weekly homework, but I can put up with it since it’s my only TR class […]

In Memory of Martin Luther King

Monday, January 16th, 2006

Today is Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. day. Dr. King is one of the heroes of both the civil rights movement and also of the Christian faith. Dr. King’s commitment to his faith led to one of the best examples of the correct way to mix God and politics that the United States has ever […]

Goals for Spring 2006

Sunday, January 15th, 2006

Those of you who have been around me for a while know that I like goals. I am very vision oriented–I believe in having a set direction and establishing a path of how to get there (think Proverbs 29:18). However, I always shy away from making New Year’s resolutions, or for that matter, talking about […]

What a good day

Thursday, January 12th, 2006

Today has been a really good day. This morning, I managed to get the repair man out to the apartment to take a look at the range. Our large burner has been shooting sparks since November 10, and they’ve known since the next day. They admitted it’s not fixable and will be installing a replacement […]

So tempting

Wednesday, January 11th, 2006

Many of you know that even though my warranty replacement Dell Precision M60 laptop has been a great machine, I’d love to have a Powerbook. Today, Apple announced a new laptop, sporting an Intel dual core processor, to be released in February. The new MacBook Pro looks hott, and at $1999 or $2499 is very […]

Is this me?

Monday, January 9th, 2006

My friend Michael created a South Park character that he says is me. I don’t know what to think. Use the comments to post your thoughts.

Final reflections on Passion 06

Monday, January 9th, 2006

Top three things about Passion 06: Sharing what God has done at Virginia Tech through vtONE this semester with Zack, one of vtONE’s founders and learning how so much of what happened this semester is in response to prayers that began several years ago. The commissioning prayer in the last main session, previously posted about […]
