This afternoon we met with our realtor for the first time to begin the process of getting our house on the market. Our agent's name is Rob McGuirt and he works with ReMax. We can already recommend him to anyone! One of the most profound things he told us is that he and his wife [...]

Semi-Nomadic
2.44pm – I’m sitting in the passenger seat of my Uncle David’s truck as we’re zooming up I-85 North with my new home attached to the rear end. (So, if you end up reading this David, this is what I was, is, am over here typing) The past 24 hours have me to the point [...]

Where We Now Call Home
The time is now at hand. We have to say goodbye to Sweetgum Lane and hello RV world! Our house payment is by far our largest expense, thus the one we are most looking forward to getting rid of. So, God has implemented a plan. Early last week, I got an e-mail through the 'Classifieds' [...]

Preaching Style
This morning in worship service, our associate pastor told us he is going to Malaysia for 10 days to head up a conference for local pastors. The purpose of the conference is to train them in expository preaching. As soon as we heard that, my wife and I shared the same question, "Will the style [...]

Vista - Day 4
I wanted to give you a glimpse of the new taskbar and system tray in Vista. I split it into 2 parts above so it would fit on the blog. The battery meter has improved as it gradually lowers the lighter color you see in the graphic. Windows XP only has the full, half, low [...]

Vista - Day 3
I discovered the new feature User Account Control in Vista. It turns out what I thought was a software compatibility issue was simply a lack of learning on my part as to how Vista helps you control changes that happen to your computer. Among these monitored ‘changes’ is defragmentation (I have a nice freeware called [...]

My War
I originally posted this under the title Depression on our first website.
As the Dogwood bloomed outside our kitchen window, I sat with an empty stare wondering why this beautiful tree was another thing on my list that I really wasn’t able to enjoy. All the things that had brought joy to my life had once [...]

Fun at a poodle price
So, we get home yesterday evening and I notice the yard needs mowed before we lose one of the dogs in it. We go through our routine of checking the mailbox, backing into the garage, disarming the alarm and letting the dogs out. Well, it seems as if Theo (aka ‘The Poodle’) had a lot [...]

Vista - Day 1
I have to say that the instructions on the Microsoft Vista installation page are a bit vague. It tells you that after you download the 2.62GB .iso file (if you choose the download option) that you have to burn it to a DVD and install it that way. I wasted 4 or 5 DVDs before [...]
