OK, so I'm not really questioning whether I want to be a lawyer. That's dumb. But what I do want is to be used by God. Being a lawyer can be my "tent making." Right, Paul? So I have to forget all the self-analysis and just try to joyously get involved in youth and childrens ministry every chance I get. That is...if that's what He wants me to do. Don't get "busy," just get effective. Or, maybe just get available.

Sue's got a new Bible study she's working on for Genesis. I think I'll see if I can help her with it.

The power outage in the NE came just as Elizabeth was leaving for Russia. Her plane went through Chicago, and then a straight shot to Russia. I was afeared that Chicago was going to shut down too, or that it would get so busy handling traffic from JFK, etc., that they wouldn't let her take off. But we talked as she was getting on the plane in OKC, and in Chicago, and all seemed well. She arrives today. PRAY.

I'm sitting here monitoring 17 Meters on my ham radio. I'm not used to working the WARC bands and I have to look at the band plan chart to remember where the band edges are. 17 Meters seems like a good cross between 15 meters and 20 meters. I hear lots of DX, like both of the other bands, but it seems a little calmer and quieter (like 15 meters). Neat band. Just had a good conversation, roundtable fashion, with stations in St. Paul and Lakesville, MN and San Antonio, TX.

I'm working on developing templates for some of my other pages for this site. It's slow, but I'm learning alot. If anyone needs to learn HTML, go to HTML Goodies web site. My problem is that I'm just not very graphically creative. I love to write, but I just don't have a brain for graphic design. So I find templates to play with.

I've also got to figure out what my "persona" is on this blog. How personal do I want to be? Who's my audience? Me, or you (or Him)? Or... no one.
