Oh lovely.

I broke my computer last night... and didn't figure it out until this morning when I turned it on, and it wouldn't boot up. So, I've spent most of the day working on it. Not too fun. But I think it's fixed.

In other news, one of the ladies on our church's worship team has lent me her guitar, since she doesn't play anymore. It's a very classy looking Gibson acoustic, which because of its retro-coolness, I will probably post pictures of. She had previously lent it to my older sister Christina when she was first learning guitar, and didn't have one of her own... which explains why there are pictures of her playing it kicking around. It's definitely different from my Telecaster... a much thicker neck, much tighter tuning (though, I must say, I left my Tele for two weeks, and it was still in tune when I got back.), and it's very much lighter. I'll probably be using it on the worship team, though I haven't quite decided how to amplify it yet. Needless to say, I've played until my fingers hurt.

I've started a rough sketch of a movie storyline, I'm not quite sure if it's going to remain that story (which is based off of a book that has long been out of print), or if it's going to morph into its own story. We'll have to see.

You're a small man, Otis.

Or, so my sister said... in reality, it was a Latin sentence that means "You are a man of little leisure." however in that case, the word for leisure is "otis". You can kinda see where the rest falls in.

Anyhow, I realized that I hadn't posted since before we went to Vermont... and apparently there are actually people who read this... so I am sorry for you. (And thankful.)

I learned something interesting today- the name Chernobyl is Russian for Wormwood... the name of a fallen angel in the book of Revelation. (It also happens to be the name of the recipient of The Screwtape Letters)

I was wondering today just how long it would take me to read the Bible through... Perhaps if I were to set aside an hour on each end of the day, and read it... I might be done in two months, considering that I'm not terriby great about keeping with something like that. On the other hand, I may hit a book like Isaiah or Romans, and fly through them. We'll have to see.

In other news, I redesigned our church's website- www.eastwinthropbaptist.org

So check it out, leave comments, comments would make me happy... and if I get comments, I'll probably post more.
