I got Hacked!
I have been trying to get my website back up and running again. I really want to have it functional and make it useful again. I was just getting to that point when WHAM! I got hacked.
I think this is the third time I have been hacked over the 7 years I have had the site. I now have to rebuild the site and figure out how to stop that from happening again.

I Finally Graduated!
|
I posted this at MTBMichigan.com, but I thought I would post it here, too.
I finally have a little time to tell about graduation. I have been enrolled in the New Breed School of Ministry for a long time. It has been a challenging time for me. I have been youth pastoring for about four years, and I just felt I needed to get a better education and preparation for larger amounts of ministry.
After over a year of education in homiletics, hermeneutics, exegetics, theology, doctrine, sacraments, Old Testament, New Testament, Bible Prophesy, Personal Ministry, Leadership, and a whole slew of other topics I can say that this is one of the best things I have ever done. I am now an ordained pastor, which is exciting to say, but more than that, I have been immersed in education that has forced me to take a good look internally and figure out who I am in Christ, and who I am called to be as a leader in the church.
Another exciting thing about this is that I graduated with honors. In high school I think I might have been in the top 90% of my class, but I graduated School of Ministry #1. This is made more exciting because I did it in the midst of all my life duties of family, job, ministry, outreaches, and trying to get my health in order.
Pictures can be found here.

The value of a wife Part 1 of millions
|
I posted this at MTBMichigan.com, but I thought I would post it here as well.
Many men realize often too little, or too late, the value of the woman God has given them to be their bride. I might be one of them who does, but I still do not see how valuable she really is often enough.
Andrea is an amazing woman. It isn’t the fact that she cooks or indulges me that is amazing. It isn’t how she keeps up the house, bills, or kids that amazes me. It isn’t how beautiful she is. It isn’t anything you would expect…
Andrea is hard on me. As a wife she is my helper. Sometimes she does things I like to help me, but other times she holds me to the fire of purification and forces me to grow to be the best I can be. She never lets up and is very good at taking a step back from herself, and forcing me to take a step back from myself. She makes me look at things form a bigger picture than my own self centered thoughts. She doesn’t let me off the hook.
You might think this is awful, and that my wife is a jerk. Sometimes I do. Unfortunately, I look back at these times and see how she has such awesome insight and how she pointed me in a better direction than I might have gone. She helps me to see where I need to grow and then encourages me to do it. I can’t help changing my thoughts on my wife from thinking about these moments in this way. I go from frustration to gratitude. She has my best interest in heart and wants me to reach my full potential.
I am sure I have written about my wife before, but I am not sure I have ever written about her in this way. I write about it because I am grateful that she cares so much. Thanks, honey.

Another Test at my site

I Don't Intend to Go Anywhere
I just wanted to make sure people know I don't intend to go anywhere. I made mention in a recent post that I am working on another website. This is true. I have had a website for a long time. I have been using it as a testing bed for other sites that I make. I use a content management software package called Joomla. I have gotten pretty good at the older version of Joomla, but the new one is really tricky.
I guess it would be good to explain the premise of the other site. It was the Michigan home of Believers On Mountain Bikes for a long time. you can find BOMB at www.ridedirt.com I got very involved with the MI biking scene. Finally after a point of doing too many websites and getting burned out from the MI biking organization I pulled my site and used it for testing. Well, after three years of testing and recuperating and most importantly paying for the domain, I decided it was necessary to use the space again.
At this time I have no plans on how I intend to use the other site. I am still learning the new version of Joomla and am in the middle of building a new church website for someone else using Joomla. This means that the other site will not launch any time soon. What I am thinking of doing is just using it for personal use such as putting all my RSS links there to read, a place to put all of the main weblinks I go to, and a place to ftp web information with other people I am working on projects with across the country.
That means I will be keeping my blog at HSB. In plainer terms I plan to blog here at HSB. I enjoy the community and the blogging relationships we have formed over the years and don't intend to go anywhere else.
