Future possibilities…
My wife and I have been talking a lot lately. I’ve always had a desire to go on missions. I’m not sure if that’s something God wants us to do or not, only time and prayer will decide that. But Its always been on my heart. My original field of study for ministry was missions and its always had a soft spot to me. A lot of aspects of it really appeal to me. And a desire to tell people about Christ. The renewed focuse and mindset outside of the day to day 9 to 5 workday it is so easy to get caught up with.
Which leads me to thinking about how God works. Its easy to say now “Oh I’ll never do…” something but in the end we don’t really know what God has planned. Its hard to see past the hear and now, and sometimes we just got to set outside ourselves and let God direct as He wills.
I don’t like to drive with other people. I much prefer to drive myself. Its unsettling not knowing what is gonna happen in the next little bit. Even a good driver can make a ride not so smooth that will make you sick along the way. Kinda of same with God, Accept his ride is the right ride every time. he’ll get us there and in the way he wants. But the drive takes a lot longer if we keep taking the wheel from him along the way, and in the end, we may arrive at the destination but its not so smoothe. We sometimes have to realize that Its us that are the bad drivers of our spiritual walks not God.
Some days.
There are some days and some people that no matter what you say, how useful accurate or helpful, will just take it as a curse. Twisting your words and using them to attack you and get back at you. I really just don\’t understand as christians why we seek to destroy other christains opposing view points rather then seek to understand what their really trying to say. Funny thing is that 90% time its one party just not paying attention to all of it and misunderstanding key points. In the end many times there saying the same thing. Just is so sad.
Happy New Year
Hope everyone had a great new year, mines tending to start off a bit rocky, never a good sign. Its never easy when God seems to take you in a new direction. Sometimes you just want to sit down and wait to understand before making a move, but that\’s not a good thing. Following him, obeying him. Trusting him is always an answer to a better tomorrow. I hope and pray that God directs all your paths this year in a very real and loving way.
Fedora Core 3 and me
So today I Reinstalled llinux on my new pc. I’ve been potting it off because I normally use Mandrake and for me its a distro with a ton of issues that typically takes a long time to install. It took me under 30 mins to install Fedora off a DVD with a full suite of software. Now let me say that I wasn’t ever a Redhat fan, or Fedora fan in the past. I tried out Fedora Core 1 out and hated it. But this distribution is great. Yum is a great system that is there for installing commonly used programs and program dependencies and I have to say it is great.
I must say overall linux has come a long way. It certainly can give windows a run for their money and is a potential huge budget saver at small business and churches. The powerful low cost (mostly free) powerful software suites availble is just amazing. I’ll be writing some more articles on my website soon on this exact topic.
