”You can be the air traffic controller of your mental airport. You occupy the control tower and can direct the mental traffic of your world. If a thought lands, it is because you gave it permission” – Max Lucado I recently heard this quote while listening to a podcast on marriage. The quote doesn’t deal…

Where I plan to ramble on things
A Recurring Verse
So, the following verse has come up a few times in different ways today: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” – John 14:27 I am not sure why it…
Starting a New Job (sort-of)
Last week I started my full time job at Boise State University. I have been hired to be a full time lab instructor, and as a result I am teaching 6, yes 6, lab classes. That means I am in the classroom for about 18 hours a week, and I have around 140 students. In…
Sudoku – I suck at it
NOTE – I am finishing up a trip to Austria with a bunch of my family right now. I am working on postings for that. While on this trip I have had some free time, and the hotel we were at had some puzzles to work on and one was a couple of Sudoku. If…
22 years and Completing a Task
Last week was my 22nd wedding anniversary. WOW – 22 years! It hasn’t all gone as expected. It has been a lot of fun. It has also had times of trouble. That is life and that is marriage. I am blessed to be married to a great and wonderful woman. I love spending time with…

Indoor Bicycling Program Decision
I have written a few times about how I bike inside now that I am in Idaho for a variety of reasons (snow, cold, wet, allergies, safety), and maybe I will get outside again in the future, but for now it is all inside riding. I blogged about different programs I was trying out to…
Making Connections
Being an adult in their 40’s with kids in the house still and 3 part time jobs makes it very hard to make connections with similar people. I have not been good about making connections with people since shortly after college so there isn’t really anything new here, but at the same time, this sucks…
Printing a Camera – part 1
My father has been building cameras for a long time. His cameras a great and they have changed and evolved over the years. I worked for him for a while as well building a lot of the cameras that are out there in the world. The cameras have come in two forms: traditional wood and…
Marriage and Civil Unions
Time for another ramble about something that is a hot button topic for many – marriage and civil unions. As most of you know I am Christ-Follower. As a result I believe in the purity and importance of marriage (for those that desire to be in a relationship). Marriage is something that was created by…
