Life Update

-It's taking forever for Sarah and I to get settled in our house. With work dominating the hours in the day, there just is little drive to unpack boxes with our free time.
-We don't have cable, and I'm extremely thankful for that.
-I'm struggling with not having a drive or desire to do any work. But I suppose if I let my lack of motivation stop me from working, then I will have a terrible work ethic and do terrible work for the rest of my life. My overarching desire to work for the will of God should trump any trivial feeling I have at the moment.
-Sarah is a gracious wife, and for that I am truly grateful.
-I am growing more opinionated about the way a church service ought to be (and I don't mean traditional vs contemporary). Maybe I will make a quick post on this subject in the future.
-I have found that helping people is much better than talking about helping people or assigning blame to other for not helping people.
-Often at work, I will have a video rendering after I edit it and, if I did not bring my books, I get quite bored. So after I have exhausted every blog and news site that I frequent, I turn to Wikipedia. I browse the main page looking at the current events and the featured articles and once I have examined those, I move on to the "Random Article". I click this to generate said random article. If I am not interested in it (often it is an article on some small municipality in Canada) I click for another random article. I do this a total of ten times unless I find an article I am interested in first. On the tenth article, I read it no matter the subject.
-Today I stumbled upon listings of Televangelists who are under financial scrutiny and may in fact have their tax exempt status taken away. I know Cody had posted on Joel Osteen here and Benji had posted a reply with an article on Osteen and the like being under the investigation. But the Wikipedia articles focused on the ministers and their beliefs. It appears to me that most pastors who lapse morally (with finances included under that category) have an aberrant form of theology. Reviewing the craziness that is present in Televangelists in this nation makes me laugh and weep.
-This also reminded me of one Leroy Jenkins.

Very interesting about the pastors in trouble. I'm surprised that Jason hasn't found that article yet. Get on that blog about worship services. Sounds like it'd be pretty interesting.
