2009, so far....

Just 25 days until SoulFest....... I can't believe it, that's less than a month.

This year started out really crappy for me... for about the first 6 months.
But, God has been very good to me, and complaining about every negative thing that happens to me won't get me anywhere. This year, I think I have become a stronger person, and my faith has grown immensely. I've also found out who my real friends are, and that hasn't always been a pleasant experience, but I don't waste time anymore trying to make anybody want to be a part of my life. I think I've also become a bit bolder. Skilly has gone back to his crazy Guinea Pig ways. So, good things have happened in between all the crappy stuff.
Now, the best part of the year has almost arrived. SoulFest. I love SoulFest, I look forward to it all year, and I can't believe it's only 25 days away. Skillet will be headlining the main stage on the first night. I'm so excited. I LOVE music, and I especially love music that glorifies God. On that note, there's also a lot of new music that I'm looking forward to this year...... Thousand Foot Krutch... Skillet.... KJ-52...... Stellar Kart..... Hawk Nelson..... I will be spending a lot of time & money at Bullmoose Music in the next 6 months or so.
I'm also looking forward to finding out what God has planned for me, because I believe that He created me with a purpose. I did not evolve from pond scum....... but I won't go there right now.... another time, I'm sure I'll have something to say about that eventually, among other things.

So, there it is, blog number 2, I guess that's it, not very exciting, but that's all I have on my mind right now, I'm too tired to think anymore, it's 10:50, time for bed. Good night.

Where have all the cashiers gone?

In my last post, when I said "That's a blog for another time", this is that one. Another time has arrived. Over the the past couple of years, I've been hearing the same commentary on the labor market from everybody & their brother. I've even said it myself a few times. "Nobody wants to work". That's an inaccurate statement. It's no secret that the service industry is suffering the most. Yeah, we've heard about fields like plumbing, where not enough people are pursuing careers to replace the professionals that are retiring. I think we could all agree, though, that you are most aware of the "labor shortage" when you are waiting in line. Whether that's at the grocery store, the coffee shop, the bank, or the fast food drive-thru. Nobody wants to work... for customers. It is true, that in March of 2020, a lot of people took time off from work because they were afraid, and some of those people found ways to stay home for a while c

Suddenly Essential

I haven't written for a very long time... years, actually, but I want to do it more, so here we go.   I don't want to talk about the policies surrounding the virus, there's plenty of people doing that. I just want to share a bit about what it has been like to work at a grocery store during this time. In 2010, when I was 20 years old, I was hired as a cashier at Hannaford. During my first winter working there, I drove to work in a few snowstorms. One was nasty enough that business was pretty slow when I got there. I had been there maybe an hour or so, when a manager asked me if I would like to go home. Obviously, I said "no", after going through the trouble of getting to work in the storm, it seemed foolish to only work for an hour. I was given the task of doing some deep cleaning, since there was nothing else for me to do on such a slow day. I asked "Why doesn't the store just close on days like this? It's so slow that people are looking for things to

Created for community

Well, yesterday was National Best Friends Day, and I started writing this yesterday, so it's appropriate that this blog is kind of about friendship. Community is something that we were designed for. Growing up in church, it almost seemed sinful to utter words like "I feel alone". If you dare to say that in the company of other believers, you'll likely get a response like "You're not alone, you have Jesus". As if we're not supposed to desire human companionship. It's time to stop using this line. We need to stop telling people who probably are alone, that they're not. Yes, it's true. Christ satisfies us more than any sinful, imperfect human ever can. He is the only one who will never, ever let you down.... ...but that's not all that we need. How do I know this? Genesis 2:18 At this point, sin had not yet entered the world. There was no chasm between God and man. Adam had absolutely perfect communion with God, and yet God stil
