(This is long)

I woke up last Sunday with the realization that I had become that which I thought, or tried to never become.   A statistic.  Many who follow my twitter feed saw my remark about that before church.  I had spent many days in chapel service while attending Clear Creek Baptist Bible College where the speaker would share the depression information that a high percentage of men going into the pastorate would burn out, be forced out, or just plain lose interest in the first 2 to 4 years.  After a long hard battle against the powers of “tradition” I had become one of those numbers.  About ready to give up completely.  Not sure which end was up, and frankly, in a nice self induced pity party about it all. more…

Thanks to a friend I got a beta key!  w00t!  Paravel is on the server and im downloading.  Get ready for some Resto Druid info!  YES!!!

Well, after several months of trying to get bearing after resigning at First Baptist I have begun to take to heart the comments my friends have been telling me for years.  I have been developing web sites for guilds, churches, personal use for a long time.  Every time I finish a job someone would comment how they liked it, or how cool something was on it.  Soon the conversation would turn to “You should do this for a living.”

Well, it is now time to see if they are right.  My deepest desire is to help others use the internet to reach out to the masses.  Weather it is a church or ministry, a local company, or someones private blog, they deserve to have a great web presence.

All I ask of my readers and friends is you pray for us as we try to get the company off the ground.  If you know of someone or you are in need of a custom site, give me a call.  *smile*

Hmm, I woke up very early this morning while at my mom and dad’s house in Fresno. Tanya and I had come down to pick up our girls after a week at the Grandparents house. I log onto the blog to listen to some music while wanting to get some reading done. I head right to my Last.FM player on the blog. Press go and WHAT? Lindsey lohan? GIVE ME A BREAK, thats not music. . .

For those of you that don’t know, Last.FM is a site where you able to listen to music that you like.  First thing is to download the little applet that will watch the tunes you play on your computer using iTunes or any other media player.  Last.FM then collects that info and makes a playlist and chart of what you like.  Eventually it will be able to build a radio station of songs you like, or songs from people with similar tastes as you.  Well, that is how it used to work.

So this morning I expected to hear some of my favorite songs but instead its giving me stuff that I would never listen to.  I’m not sure what is happening.  Either there is some problem with all the heat that has been put on Internet Radio stations of late or the suggestion software algorithm has gone completely stupid.  So, for now I have taken it down.

I will get to the bottom of this
