Purpose of Labor day...
Is Labor day meant to be spent laboring over a project or is it a day to be lazy and enjoy the last holiday of summer?

better late then never...pictures from...
Here are the pictures I took Sunday, August 28, 2011..a snapshot of the impact of Hurricane Irene on our backyard. Church was canceled Sunday due to a lack of power. So we played out in the rain puddle in the backyard with Dayzee..and then we lost power also. I promised my brother that I would post these as soon as we got power restored..but I’m a few days late. (Sorry Sean). So...

a letter to @LaBar89

a few pics from my new camera
Last weekend I got a new camera. It is awesome because it is water proof. here are a few memories that I’ve captured with it so far.. Also, i do apologize for slacking on blogging. life just has been busy. . 3 months today is race day for me. so i’ve been balancing work, sleep, and working out in the mornings. at night, sometimes i dont even get on the computer. . and that green pool...

*Special Day*
Today is my dad’s birthday :) I had 3 pieces of cake today… yummmie. But on a more important note, I am so very thankful to call him dad. Happy Birthday Dad!
a challenge for the week.
This is the week leading up to Easter. I know it will be a busy week for myself. So much to do. However, one thing that I want to do every day this week is read Isaiah 53. I know there are many other BIble reading plans for the week leading up to Easter Sunday, but I think this chapter in Isaiah pretty much sums it up. Each day this week I will set aside time to read it and I hope that you will...
a little bit of this, a little bit of that...(...
So, they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Here are some good picture stories that happened recently..The story behind the post-it notes: It was my little brother’s birthday last SUnday so I pranked him. I originally wanted to cover his Jeep with post it notes, but decided that he would be very angry with me if I did that. He would of been late to church, and if a post-it note...
weekend...
Ahhh yes…Friday is here..finally… and now that the workweek is over its the weekend.Oh weekend… why must you go by so fast?.anyway, this weekend I hope to discover a new way to work - just in case I need to go another way…like what I could of done on Thursday if I knew of another way. Thursday I was late to work because of an accident. IT was a very trying day altogether....
Short Saturday Post.., Reflections on a Stepping...
So glad its Saturday :) . Feels good to have a day off…. well, that’s another story in and of itself, but I took today off from work to get my schoolwork done. That’s a priority before slave labor in retail is concerned with. .And I’ve got a lot done today..and I had a head start because I somehow managed to stay up late last night and still be productive after a long...
things that make me smile on my run today.
Today was a perfect day for a run outside. I was going to get up early and run but I decided to turn off my phone alarm and sleep in some. I ran in the afternoon.. was a much better decision because not only did I get to sleep but I had some company for part of my run. I invited mom with me to run the block. She agreed and we had an enjoyable run around the block. It took us a half hour. Then I...
The End of march 2011
Wow… It’s nearing the end of March… have an hour and half left of this month. I thought I would blog one final time for this month..since I have been slacking at blogging lately. Life got busy and I put off blogging. It’s all a matter of priorities… I like to vent and share my thoughts, my life, but when I have more important things to do, then blogging gets booted...

Looking back...
Last year at this time, my life was so different. I’m so glad God had other plans for my life than I had. God is so faithful and good. I can honestly say that I’ve grown closer to Him this past year with all its ups and downs. Its so neat to look back on last year and see how God has been working in my life. He is so faithful and to think that for too long I was the one in...
what a Monday. :)
Today was a most interesting day. . Today was the first full day of spring but when I woke up there was snow/ice on the ground. .At the morning meeting at work they discussed a new attendance policy. An interesting start to a Monday. .I had a full shift at work - which is unusual for a Monday (but its only because it was Kim’s day off). .A co-worker offered to hook me up on a blind date. I...
Lost Adventure with @LaBar89 and Dayzee.
A lovely Friday late morning/early afternoon adventure with my brother and our puppy. We started out on a yellow trial at Frances Slocum State park. Somewhere we crossed paths with the red trail. We stayed on this long red trail. It ended up being part of a big loop. We have no idea where we were at for this trip. We would highly recommend that the park people properly label the trails so...
a bunch of thoughts...like a bunch of grapes,...
Well, It has been a while since my last note of ramblings….The concept of surrender has been a repeating theme/lesson in my life for the past few months. Currently I’m slowly reading “The hole in our Gospel” by Richard Stearns and came across these two sentences I thought are worth sharing. First off, he uses the comparison of the Christian being like a soldier and says...
glimpses of march.. pictures of Dayzee
I finally decided to take some pictures the other day… I figured to take my camera out when I walked Dayzee to get some good pictures of her. I have many more pictures that didn’t turn out well, but here are some of the good ones. The last picture is of her and my little brother. He loves to get on all fours and play with Dayzee. (He doesn’t know that I got this picture of...
an update...of sorts...
well, being a monk for a month is a lot harder than i thought. I do confess that i have not been faithful in keeping my word regarding all that i planned on giving up. last night i slacked and watched a tv show. and i did go on facebook to look at the camden ministry page and to say hi to my cousin (and i looked at my brother’s recent updates while i was there). .So, although I...
some encouragement for the day...
I was encouraged today with this passage and thought to share:Matthew 6:25-34 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important than food, and the body more important than clothes? Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them....
a modern Monk for a month...
Recently, I’ve been lazy in my walk with the Lord. I haven’t been pursuing Him with my whole heart, soul, and mind. I’ve been giving Him a part when He requires my all. Since today begins a new month, I thought that it is a perfect time to begin anew. Today is the day to clear out the trash and the little distractions that keep me from seeking the Lord with all my heart. ...
My Everything...
Just a little something I wrote a while back…....My Everything.. thank You for being God. You alone are big enough, powerful enough, caring enough, knoweldgable, strong enough, loving enough, gentle enough for EVERYTHING- every minute, every situtation that I will ever face. You truly are more than enough for me. Help me to depend fully on You for what I need. God, be my EVERYTHING. Come...
Run Your Race
Running, besides being a hobby of mine, is also a comparison to the Christian life. The Christian walk is not a jog in the park, nor a sprint, but a long marathon. Basically, its difficult. The hardest thing for me is to take some time off from running and then get back into running. Sometimes its just difficult to be disciplined to run. I think Paul knew that its not only difficult to be...

Love Day #21
I know… I’ve missed a few days this past weekend.. I won’t try to post multiple posts to make up for the days I missed… I’ll just post todays..Hebrews 13:1-2 Keep on loving each other as brothers. Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it .Here we are encouraged to keep on loving our brothers and...
Love Day #18
1 Corinthians 13:44Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud .Patient. ARe we patient with those around us? Or do we loose our tempers easily? Kind. Are we kind to those who are mean to us? Do we respond in kindness or are we harsh with our enemies? Not envious. Are we content with what we have or do we long for what others have? Not boasting and not...
Love Day #17
Love GOD IS LOVE; AND HE THAT DWELLETH IN LOVE DWELLETH IN GOD, AND GOD IN HIM, 1 John 4:16. Love is a chief attribute of Jehovah, the length and breadth and height and depth of which are beyond comprehension, for they are infinite, Ephesians 3:18,19. Between the three Persons of the Godhead, love is unutterable full, perfect, and blissful; towards holy angels and Christians, God’s love is...
Love Day #16
Well, I had quite the busy day…hence why I’m blogging so late at night. Yet if there is one reminder that the writer of Hebrews (and many other books) has for believers - it is that we show love. Live a life of love because that is how Jesus lived and we are to follow His example. .Hebrews 13:1“Let love of the brethren continue.”.We are never to cease in our love for each...
Love Day #15
Honestly, I can’t believer that I’ve been on track with this “love day” blogging project. Go me! Let’s just see if I can keep it up. .2 Thessalonians 1:3 We ought always to thank God for you, brothers, and rightly so, because your faith is growing more and more, and the love every one of you has for each other is increasing. .Paul was noting spiritual growth in the...
Love Day #14
Happy Valentines Day!.1 Corinthians 13:4-74Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. ,These verses describe love but they can also...
Love Day #13
Today instead of sharing a verse and writing… I’m going to share some verses and notes from church today since Pastor Dave preached on love. The title of the message was “Relate in Love”. Basically, we have many different types of relationships and different levels of relationships in our lives but in each relationship - whether with a friend, a bank clerk, or family...
love day #12
1 Timothy 4:12Let no one despise you for your youth, but set the believers an example in speech, in conduct, in love, in faith, in purity. .Be examples to others in your manner of love. Love extravagantly. Invest love into other people’s lives and watch the tiny seed of love, which you planted, take root and grow resulting in a changed person because of one little seed of love. .
for @LaBar89 .. i've got your spring break all...
I’m really looking forward to seeing my brother next month for his spring break. So, here are a few ideas i’ve had of what we can do.Sean’s Spring Break:1. get sleep.2. walk dayzee. 3. do hw4. chase dayzee5. Concert *Selah and Aaron Shust* at cross creek6. Breakfast at Olde House.7. Walk Dayzee some more..maybe at Frances Slocum?8. Coffee Date 9. Field trip with Dayzee to...

2 John 1:5-6“Now I ask you, lady, not as though I were writing to you a new commandment, but the one which we have had from the beginning, that we love one another. And this is love, that we walk according to His commandments. This is the commandment, just as you have heard from the beginning, that you should walk in it.” .John reminds his audience of the basic principle of love. He...
love day #10
I know most of my posts for my Love Days have been rather short. Today’s is a little longer because I thought instead of summarizing the BIble story, that I would let you read it for yourself.. Genesis 22:1-14 1Now it came about after these things, that God tested Abraham, and said to him, “Abraham!” And he said, “Here I am.” 2He said, “Take now your son, your only son, whom you love,...
love day #9
Deuteronomy 6:5“You shall love the Lord you God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your might.”.I think this is a great verse to share today because so often we fail to love God wholeheartedly. So many little “things” sometimes block us from completely loving God with ALL of our beings. I think that its important for us as believers to periodically...
Love Day #8
Today I’m going to help my cousin paint her new apartment. Its bittersweet. I’m thankful that she got a job but sad that she’ll only be home every other weekend. Over the past few months we’ve grown close and its been such a blessing. Anyway, today’s thought on love… I’ve said before love is a verb and we need to show those around us that we love them...
love day #7
1 Corinthians 13:1 If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. . This verse reminds me of high school band with the most awkward band director ever, Mr. Hunter. He was a lot of things that I will not go into now but like all band directors he did not like “tacky” music. It bothered him when we played slightly out of tune...
Love Day #6
1 John 3: 18 “Little children, let us not love with word or with tongue, but in deed and truth.” .
love day #5
“Love to both God and man is fundamental to true religion, whether as expressed in the Old Testament or the New Testament. Jesus Himself declared that all the law and the prophets hang upon love.” (topcialbible.org/I/love.htm) Galatians 5:14 The entire law is summed up in a single command: “Love your neighbor as yourself.” . If the entire law can be summed up as love God...
because I can't put all of this in a status.....
Tonight’s Random Thoughts:{ It’s not that I don’t like winter, because I do, .. its just that I would like spring to come so that I can run outside. The other day I didn’t finish my running because i was tired of running inside on a machine and wanted to run outside. I even like the snow on the ground, and don’t mind driving in it… I just miss running...
