My Pariveda

First off Pariveda is supposed to mean "the pursuit of complete knowledge," but I'm still trying to figure that out.

My pursuit of complete knowledge looks like:

• Reading lots of blogs on all kinds of stuff
• Rarely reading a book other than a book in the bible
• Reading a lot of the bible
• Conversations with my community in small groups
• Lots of googling and reading technical websites on work related things such as the provider pattern, the membership provider and the role provider. Typically a lot of Microsoft technology stuff.
• Watching videos and webcasts online

The thing about the pursuit though is I enjoy it, but it's an insatiable thirst.

Discontent

Lately my heart has been discontent or perhaps disappointed.

Friday I asked if anyone wanted to go to the lake with me and much to my dismay, not a soul could. This inherently led me to question my life and where I was.

I wonder are we too busy these days to really live the lives we are meant to. This past week I put 60 hours in for the man and my wife put in 80. Are we to do this for the rest of our lives?

Sunday I rekindled my passion to touch lives and remembered God has me here for His glory. Yet I get so easily distracted with this world.

My heart yurns for the Lord to move and His heart yurns for me to move. God take from me what I need and provide me nothing but a strong faith in you.

I pray my life bring you glory above all else.

A Rough Workout

Why? - 8/15/7

God, why have you done this to us? How does this glorify you? What do you want us to learn?

This is a trying time for us and we need you to get us through this. Please provide a path out of this for us quickly.

New Project - 8/14/7

Yeaa! New project. Its always good to start fresh. The weekend went well and I enjoyed waiting for Casey at church. I got to help out and worship in the back during the 7. My truck started doing something else strange. I really just want to trade it in for a new Honda truck, but I'm going to take it to a mechanic on Thursday after work. It should be expensive! Yeaa!
