Hello Hello! Wow is life ever busy these days. Wonderment is worth waiting for, and as I’ve gotten the green-light I now wait in eager anticipation for G3. I’ve been to Moab once, had a blast, and am looking forward to it again with my brothers/sisters of the BOMB fellowship. My local chapter is represented with THIS webby, as designed by my sweetie. Now I really need to get into shape, and start my riding regeime proper!

You know, nothing beats starting your day with God. Simple as that. Some meditation of the Word, some prayer, quality-time with the Creator, nothing beats it. I’ve had a better day today than most, despite being on the road for a greater portion of my time than the time spent with accounts. While I didn’t get to see as many accounts, those I was able to spend time with made it worth it. Praise the Lord! Had a great convo with my brother Steve, even had a nice time talking with John and other accounts of mine, so not all of the car-time was wasted.
Kinda bummed I can’t get the Lobo game whilst in Deming. Oh well, I suppose I’ll read about it tomorrow or catch sportscenter later.
Check THIS out, it’s quite funny although kinda long, so click HERE if you didn’t hit the “THIS” already. Ha! hyperlinking is so much fun!
Hope your day went swimmingly!

Hello dear friend, wish you were here. I’ve been a busy-bee the last couple of weeks, and it’s wearing me out! I could use another weekend at Tanque Verde the way things have been going. Last week it was Albq to Farmington NM to Durango to Alamosa and then back to Albq. Today I started again in Albq but went to Portales and am now in Roswell NM for the night. Tomorrow brings me to Alamagordo, Las Cruces, and then Deming. Last day of this jaunt takes me from Deming thru Silver City, Belen, Los Lunas, then back home. It’s an effort to get my travel out prior to my first child’s arrival, and am hoping/praying the visits I make to my accounts is worth my time doing so. I’d love to post more, but am swamped, and don’t have any cool pictures to upload to here for you to set you glazzies on from the past few weeks adventures. Next time for sure.

So it’s been a week off for me from my every day or so schedule of posts. I’m sure you’d understand that I had no real interest (even if I had ability) to post while away at a sales meeting my employer had HERE. Talk about away from it all! So nice, so calm, so relaxing, even with a few days dedicated to meetings and such. With my wife being 6 months along in our first pregnancy a lot of the activities were not things we could do together, but nonetheless on a small breakfast ride I bonded a wee-bit with my “stallion” Beavis and could understand the young girls desire to have a pony. I don’t think I’d of had such an experience anytime soon, so if you’re looking for a great get-away with lots of horseback-riding and 2 nice pools to relax by, this is it. I’ll post some pictures for you to set your glazzies on soon, so check back in a day or three.

Today in Sunday School we were discussing an issue of Sanctification/Godliness and not salvation. Our instructer pointed this out right up front because the passages we were to study took issue with the Christian’s walk with the Lord. Our main text was Philipians 3:7-4:1. To summerize what this lesson hit on is simple: Becoming a Christian isn’t just a fire escape, it’s a way of life. A way of life that’s infinately better than anything we could ever dream of living by our own strength/power. God has done fantastic things for us in our redemption from the sin “that so easily entangles” . Maturation of a believer is critical to their walk with God. You can’t even begin to imagine the life He has in-store for you if you don’t move on to the “solid foods” from the milk of our infancy in Him as new-believers. It’s easy and cost-free to believe and be saved from the perils of eternity without God. But just as it’s a sorrowful shame to have a baby that never grows up, and is consistantly just that - a baby- so is it a new Christian that never moves on from milk to solid food.
After reading and taking stock of what this passage involves, one thing jumps out at me as a theme of most of it. The words Paul uses here are of the Thinking sort, especially when you count the verbs. The passage is ripe with active purpose that we as believers should take to heart and mind. Just as we are to put on the armor in Paul’s letter to those in Ephesus, we should run the race in order to win the prize!

Christmas Eve is a special time. In my household it’s a tradition to do Luminarias down at my Father-in-law’s place in Peralta, NM. Due to my magnificent lazy-factor at this time/moment, I’m not going to post my own photo gallery here but link you to this one. Matt is a chum o’ mine that has been excellent photography the last few years, and has joined us the last few as well with our Christmas Eve tradition helping with the “duty” that comes with it. Enjoy!

So I’m somewhat of an analytic, I’ll admit it. When it comes to spending any amount of money for a product or service, some things I cannot simply “buy” and therefore spend a wee-bit more time thinking through and analyzing prior to selecting the “winner” of my scrutinized processes. One example of this was in an effort to properly spend $75 on a jacket for winter-cycling. I spent (probably) a 3-week timeframe to find this jackets predesessor the winner. So now I’m thinking about Tablet-PC’s. This model catches my eye, as it was suggested by a friend to be ideal for my line of work. Still going to ponder other models/mfg’rs as well so I’m nowhere near the end of my hunt. Cnet kinda liked it, reviewed here, so it’s in the running “fer-sure”.
Other things I’ve researched and analyzed way-too-much? Here’s some speakers, a nice receiver, and the car I currently drive.
Your comments are appreciated, go for it!

Wow! What an amazing year aught-5 was, and look, great things on the horizon for 2006! My first child arrives in three more months, I’m a proud driver of a new Accord for a work-vehicle (wise-lease!), and my wife is beginning her life as a home-maker who works a wee-bit from home. Incredible, unspeakable, what an amazing God we serve! I hope you’ve got great things appearing on the horizon in your life. I know God’s at work, everywhere, all around us behind the scenes, and His blessings only get better when we stay obedient trusting Him always for everything.
To my family and friends, thank you for the grace you’ve extended me, and the love you share in my direction, as we grow closer and closer and the relationships are more deeply treasured by each of us.
