Happy Easter everyone. I wish for you wellness and a rebirth of your soul as I search for a rebirth in mine. I was running the video at Church this week, and I’m not sure how I feel about it. I think I take mistakes too hard. The sound wasn’t working at the 9:00 a.m. …

Tenebrae
Laureen and I did something unusual tonight: we went to a church service just to go to it. We didn’t go for the music, the minister, or because we were serving in some capacity. We just went. And it was different. Every year, Laureen’s old Lutheran school’s church does a pantheon of services during the …
One sad note, one depressing issue
As some of you know, I’m involved in an online game called Kingdom of Loathing, a role-playing game for people who don’t like role-playing games. As is typical of the genre, there are ways to connect with other people and hang out with them online, typically in a chat room that KoL provides. The common …
What’s Goin’ On
Welcome to Spring Break, or “trying to re-establish everything”. I’ve been very depressed lately, and it basically hones in on my body. I’m tired all of the time, I don’t feel like doing anything, etc. I’ve got a Dr. appt. on Friday to recheck the medicine level, so I’ll get some relief there, albeit from …
A Jessie Perspective
Today was oddly warm. Warm enough such that we put swim diapers on the kids and let them play with sprinklers in the back yard. Jessie has a strange habit of taking her thumb and pushing the back end of her diaper down, often exposing the better part of one cheek to the world. Well, …
First Wednesday
Charles got to both direct and run the computer at the First Wednesday service last night. He did an admirable job for the amount of slides he had (started off with 86), but his main comment coming out was that “the computer person needs a director to follow the script and alert to cues, because …
Some thoughts on this weekend
It was pretty rough for me, personally. This weekend was the first I’ve worked at Springcreek since questioning the higher-ups. And it took four services to realize it, but it was also something that Pastor Bob talked about in his message. Bob talked about how when he feels spiritually depleted and exhausted because he’s like …
When good intentions bite back
We’ve switched to Green Mountain Energy, a company that uses renewable resources for their energy at surprisingly competitive rates. This gives me (well, maybe Laureen and not necessarily me) a semi-warm fuzzy about not harming the environment. After one disconnect and reconnect, I tried to set up auto payment. First off, in order to access …
Something not so depressing
We got our flexible spending reimbursement straightened out, so with some of that money (the rest goes to debt and getting me a new pair of glasses, something I haven’t had since five years ago), we got a new washing machine. Our old one was and is a great machine when it’s on a concrete …
Springcreek and tech
Short post: talked with Scott, aired my concerns, he aired his. We understand each other, although if I’m going to be happy, I have to go in Fridays and change the lyrics to my satisfaction. More later.
