I missed the 8:08 time this morning, but I’ll post this article at 8:08 tonight. A friend is getting married this evening, and I’m working the sound system. How exciting! Congratulations to Jeremy and Danielle!

Re: Life is too short
“Life is too short not to love what you do, and it’s much, much too short to wait around until someone hands you a billion dollars.” Quoted from Quit your job! Amen! I have been more happy over the past 445 days than I was the previous who-knows-how-many days.
Four Score and Seven Years Ago
Four score and seven years ago today, my grandfather was born. We spent Sunday afternoon (his birthday eve) with him and other extended family.

Then, despite the snow and slippery ground, he caught the lion and killed it.” Mark Batterson wrote a book around this [...]
What Blogathon 2007 Has Taught Me
I had a great time over the past 24 hours. And I’ve learned a lot: Upgrade all of your software on your server and computer several days before the event Allow two to three times as much time as you think you’ll need for any “large” projects” Don’t plan on doing any “large” projects while [...]
CHARGE Movie
The song is from Glenn Kaiser, “Fearlessly, Wondrously Made.” Many thanks to his recording label, Grrr Records for allowing me to use the song.
