Incredible how time flies. I do regret not posting for the last few weeks, but geez has life ever been busy! Obviously I’m not one who lives by internet solely, but that doesn’t mean I can get away with not posting at least something every week.
I apologize.
What’s been up? Tripped to Wichita to spend time with my Pops and Step-Mum, have been traveling for work lots (farmington, Taos, Red River, Angel Fire, etc). Just got back from a weekend camping trip with our SS class from Church. Off to S. New Mexico and Elpasout next week. Just busy! Asher is growing so fast! At 41k miles in Vanna, Riding my bike (one or the other) as often as I can, and spending more time (consistently) in the Word and In prayer than ever before… Feeling really blessed. Shooting photos/assemblage-ing a PPT show for VBS this week at our Church. Soon major changes may occur for me with X, and at the same time I’m more praying for Contentment and assuming a Gratitude Attitude (GA) for the blessings already received. I’ll explain X eventual if God wants it to be reality. We’ll see, pray for His Will to be done regardless.
Date night weekly soon to be a reality. Hopefully that can work out and Jess and I can “shore up” our marriage as all marriages need from time to time.
Anyhoot, there ‘tiz in a nutshell. Will get in a photo-post groove soon to share all the images recorded from recent adventures aforementioned.

Hello Dear reader, Pray for me. I’m way, way tired right now, currently post-lunch in Durango. Have a meeting in 38minutes, so really cannot nap. Had enough caffiene already, so am going to “wing it” for the rest of my day. Tonight I’m in Red River before Angel Fire tomorrow, then home.
As for the title, it was a great weekend. Saturday moring started with a ride to the men’s breakfast at my church, then after that blessing back home. 25 miles approx, and enough with the hills for my not-greatest-shape status. Our speaker at the breakfast hit on a bunch of great stuff, most notably a favorite encouragement of mine. That being: “Where is your focus? Are you spending time with God, DAILY? In Prayer and His Word?” THat’s it in a nutshell (my encouragement/nag to you). Made a friend [Hi Craig!] with a missionary brother who was visiting with his family, his wife being a former member of our fellowship. After getting home and relaxing a bit, I toddled down to downtown to watch the Albq. Century Criteriums and got a nice sunburn standing in the sun. Later that afternoon Jess and I attempted to visit a few of the homes on the Custom Home Tour but were only able to visit one McMansion due to time-constraints. Sunday, Pastor Bruce is starting a sermon series on Titus, and having taught a study not long ago on the very same, it’s going to be really cool to hear what God delivers through Bruce for us. The new ABF (adult Bible fellowship) we’ve launched for the College-aged folks is starting a study in James that will be really, really cool as Jessica and I really like the book of James . Sunday afternoon was the rescheduled performance of THIS and was completely delighted to have the opportunity to see them. A snowstorm kept them back East back in March, so they became last in our Ovation series events.
It just got done raining here in Durango. Feeling less sleepy now, and will grab an energizer/vitamin C smoothie to drive back over into NM via Pagosa Springs. Latest CD in the car was Control from Pedro The Lion. Great stuff, like the song Second Best alot, caused the Zen to nav to Pornography from The Cure to continue the mood created.
