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.
Taking care of yourself. Sometimes a bit too well…
I mentioned a few posts down about having a vasectomy. After the surgery, Laureen pretty much ran the household while I stayed in bed with ice packs (actually bags of frozen peas) to decrease swelling and soreness. Dr. Hassell recommended using ice only about 15 minutes per hour. I think I averaged closer to 45 …

My eventual response
Charles and Scott, After having prayed, thought, kicked and screamed about this, here’s my concerns and response to this: I’ve spent the last six years doing Multisensory worship services in a variety of roles, including: – playing in the band (bass, drum, latin percussion) – giving the message – creating presentations – running presentations – …
More on Sigh
And the saga continues: From Charles Duncan, the director of the tech side: Kevin, Thanks for your work this weekend. It was the first weekend of Scott “cracking down on us,” as you phrased it. I think his email has been well taken and is a positive step toward providing better service to the church and …
Sigh
So I’m here early at church, around 3 o’ clock. And we’ve been given specific instructions to “not make any additions, deletions, or changes” to any slides. Apparently, this week’s message is diverging from our normal path, but the overall feeling is… stifling. And I don’t know if I can do it this way. For …
A Vast Difference
Well, the vasectomy happened Friday. I have been in a bit of pain for the past day or so, but it’s not extremely painful by any stretch. Except for the fact that I’m awake and typing on my computer instead of sleeping. That’s one small issue… One of the more frustrating things these days is …
Money and the lack thereof
It’s somewhat sobering to try to rectify 14 years of bad habits. We’ve overextended ourselves big time on credit, and as a result, we’re trying to pay with cash (or check) for everything. Of course, this has its limitations, namely, when you realize you probably have enough money to cover the checks you just wrote, …
The Growth of Jacob
Jacob’s entering a new phase of life today: school five days a week. His teacher MWF happens to be the same teacher he had when he was in the infant room (Miss Jessica). When this was mentioned to him, he replied, “I was so tiny then, I couldn’t even spell a word.” In a discussion …
