Seventeen Days Remaining; Job Under Control

Posted May 11, 2005, 8:09 p.m.

Oddly enough, Melissa and I are getting married in 17 days. It’s hard to believe, really, but it’s true! (And I guess that means I should figure out the music and find a voluntary DJ, eh!? Any volunteers?) Keep an eye on the wedding website for more info, as I’ll try to keep my exclusively-wedding blathering over there in the wedding blog.

Additionally, I’m getting these new job responsibilities figured out and under control. That’s helped my sanity quite a bit. For a while there I was totally lost and confused and somewhat stressed about it (but that’s pretty typical for starting what’s essentially a new job with lots of new things to learn).

Anyway, no time to chat right now. I’ll hopefully have some stuff to post later in the week!

He is an independent constitutional conservative who believes in human rights and limited government, and a Catholic Christian whose beliefs are summarized in the Nicene Creed. He holds a bachelor’s degree in Public Administration from George Mason University. He loves Pink Floyd and can play the bass guitar . . . sort-of. He’s a husband, pet lover, amateur radio operator, and classic AMC/Jeep enthusiast.

Nature’s imagination is always richer than ours.

The buck stops with everybody.

On the contrary, God foretold hardship upon hardship in this world until the end of time. And you want the Christian to be exempt from these troubles? Precisely because he is a Christian, he is destined to suffer more in this world.
