Drove by Lake Hefner this afternoon and decided to stop and look out at the lake for a few minutes to think and read a little since it was rush hour.  The rain was moving away at the time and the sun was just starting to push through the clouds.  It was nice.

I read some in a book that my Thursday night Bible study group has been working on called Forgotten God by Francis Chan.  It talks about the Holy Spirit and how Christians have a tendancy to focus less on this person of the Trinity than the Father or the Son.  It is a very good read and I would suggest it to any Christian who wants to grow closer to God.

Job 37:16 - "Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge?"

It has been almost a month since I decided to break from Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, and all social network related things.  I have been spending more time being productive so the initial results of my break have been beneficial.

I am missing the random facebook updates.  Silently staying caught up with peoples’ lives at a distance and occasionally making a random status update on my own just to see if anyone will leave me comments.  Maybe that's good motivation for me to get this blog thing back up and running.

Speaking of this blog...
I've been working a little on this new blog program on my server and am still playing with the design when I feel up to it.  Don't be surprised if things get adjusted from time to time. 

Since the last time I was blogging on a regular basis, I've been acquiring lots of good YouTube links and podcasts to feed future posts.  I'm excited to share with any and all who may be interested.  I'll be honest, most of the topics will undoubtedly relate to religion, politics, or both.  This is where my interests happen to be and where my opinions flourish so I generally have the most to talk about in these areas.

Until next time, I have a house to clean, a winter storm to prepare for, a Bible study to get to, and a State of the Union Address to critique.

Later!
