Crumpled Notebook

Okay. I know no one reading this cares. But, I love this site. VolunteerMatch makes my job so much easier. They just made some great changes. The better ones are for paying members (which at this point, I’d almost fork over myself to use some of the services), but even for non-paying, average members, they’ve made some great improvements to their site. I get tons of referrals from them and have had some great volunteers come out of it. So yeah, I just needed to give some props to them. I’m gonna put one of their little icons on my page, so if you see it, you know why.

Today was Sunday again (well, technically yesterday now). I
seriously don’t know what my problem has become with Sundays. This
morning I overslept and missed Sunday School, so the work I put
into the lesson was wasted (of course, its ready for next week). I
think that annoyed me from the beginning this morning. However,
today was a little different in that I started out feeling the same
way, and felt that way most of the way through church, but we had a
really good sermon today that made me remember why I enjoy and like
my church. A lot of pastors annoy me, trying to be all profound and
all and just trying too hard. However, the thing I like best about
Major Tedd is that he isn’t like that. He just puts it out there,
straight forward, as a human being. He doesn’t try to sell it to
me, he doesn’t over hype it, he doesn’t try to be profound or try
too hard. Its not a show for him. And that is what I like about it.
He’s just real and talks to the church as if he actually is talking
to them and not “preaching” to them. Anyway we talked about guilt
and be cleansed from the inside out, etc… and it was just a
really good sermon. Brought some things to mind as we were talking
about the pharisees and how they were hypocrites and more concerned
with “doing” things and the outside appearance (Reminds me of a lot
of people/things/situations). So this we read this verse from
"http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=micah%206:8;&version=31;">
Micah 6:8 that says: And what does the LORD require of you? To
act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with your God.
That’s it. To act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with your God.
What that said to me was that we should be more concerned not with
others’ faults and deeds, but with their hearts–what is on the
inside and not what is on the outside that others can see.

So I posted my first link on Digg and just got my first digg (other than my own). Not the greatest article in the world, but it wasn’t on there yet and I figured it “might” be digg worthy.

If you don’t know what digg.com is you should check it out (if you are into technology and science, etc…).

“Digg is a technology news website that combines social bookmarking, blogging, RSS, and non-hierarchical editorial control. With digg, users submit stories for review, but rather than allow an editor to decide which stories go on the homepage, the users do.”

**4 diggs total now 30 minutes later…and no comments yet (which is good because digg comments can get pretty vicious)**

I knew it was bound to happen. I’ve started getting comment spam on some older posts. Anyway, I’ve added Gatekeeper, so if you leave a comment, you’ll have to answer a question to which the answer is obvious. You’ll see.

Sorry for the added step, but I gotta do what I gotta do.
