Thoughts and Stuff

Right now I'm sitting in a coffee shop listening to some live music. I got my macbook out and I'm blogging. If you didn't know me personally and my style, you'd probably assume I'm some trendy hipster that wears tight pants and eyeliner.

But neigh, I'm just a relatively normal guy who has a day off when his wife doesn't. Typically my wife would be here with me, but our schedule just wasn't in sync this week like it normally is. So I have the day to myself. I'm planning on going disc golfing once it warms up a bit, and then I might go real golfing this afternoon. We'll see.

So lately I've been in this sort of complacent state spiritually and just in life in general. I've just been going through the motions. Hard to believe considering I work at a Bible camp and Christianity is so thick in the air that you could cut it with a butter knife. Last night I started to read A.W. Tozer's "The Pursuit of God." In his book he talks about how we, the modern day Christian, have allowed ourselves to become so distracted by these meaningless earthly things when we are supposed to hunger and thirst for God. It's hard to follow at times I must admit, he uses lot's of big words I don't understand and in succession, however, I believe that by the time I finish reading this book whenever that will be that I will be better off.

I posted a new youtube video yesterday, which is good and great, but I've been slightly frustrated lately that some portions of my audience have seemed to put my videos in a box after the Lag in Real Life and expect me to produce video after video that are as good as and similar to that video. Back in the day when I used to be a gamer I may have considered doing such a thing but now that I don't even own a gaming console it is hard for me to connect as well with the gaming demographic. The style my channel follows is "variety" which means that if you subscribe you shouldn't expect one type of video consistently, and just because I made one great gaming video doesn't mean I can just like that produce 50 more that are equally as great. It takes time and lots of good ideas, but mostly time, because I have good ideas.

Anywho, football season is in full swing which makes me happy. So far I am 3-1 in my fantasy leagues combined...a record that I believe will only improve. The huskers lost to Virginia Tech on a last minute mistake, but in my opinion as well as most who saw that game, Nebraska was the better team. We will have many more chances this season to prove ourselves, so I suppose I just have to move on.

The wife and I are doing well at camp, we have to work a lot of weekends taking care of groups and stuff, but that's okay, because it's all for the service of the Lord. Nothing else too exciting is going on in my life so it would be to our advantage (me, and you the reader) for me to wrap this up.

Solo Deo Gloria
Peace
