tough day but big night!

so today was a bit of a grind - very very difficult staff meeting - some very delicate issues bouncing around the church. in the middle of the meeting i was just overcome at how messy and complicated ministry can be. without the grace of god and his wisdom i am screwed - actually we are all screwed without him helping us out.

and then this afternoon someone in the office just decided to put the office server in my office - i didn't really mind as i have a pretty large office but after it was installed i realized that it gives off a very low humming and buzzing sound - its just enough to get under my skin and put me on edge.

i thought maybe i could wait until the end of the week and see how i'm doing but after 10 minutes i had a headache and was grinding my teeth and starting to feel homocidal. i went out and asked someone if we could move it into an office where someone else is there only half the time - they didn't seem too hyp;ed about moving it again. so i just gritted my teeth, turned my music loud and tried to ignore it. needless to say it was stressing me out.

i think i could handle loud noise but this incessent humming is driving me nuts!!! please pray (i'm not kidding) that this gets resolved - i will seriously move myself out of this nice big office to somewhere else in order to get my work done without going nuts.

but tonight - woo hoo - i'm pretty psyched - i bought the star wars trilogy (episodes 4-6) - the old and better ones - i had always wanted them but could never justify the price for the 4 disc set - the bonus disc contained a bunch of extras. but they have released them at a cheaper price w.out the bonus disc.

so tonight i'm going to settle in w. some popcorn and soda and star wars - a movie that is sure to transport me to my childhood - i remember making an r2d2 out of soap when i was in cub scouts - i also had like 300 trading cards which would probably be worth a small fortune today if i still had them.

jamie wanted me to edit my links in my sidebar - instead i'll just tell you what i am reading:

unstoppable force - erwin mcmanus - one of the best books on the church that i have ever read - i am going to buy copies for the core group of my church and we are going to study it together in 2006.

art of prayer - timothy jones - a book that looked promising but is turning out to be rather mediocore.

i read the vancouver sun and national post everyday.

i read my bible everyday using the reading guide written by robert murray mc'shayne - you read through the old testament once and the new testament and psalms twice in one year. i have used all kinds of guides in the past but having been using this one fairly consistently for the past 2-3 years.
