Wow… this has been a busy week! With working 8:00 – 2:00, I haven’t had much time to post. Well, everything is still going great at work, and things at home have been good too. There really isn’t much going on right now. I have to go to bed, so I can get up early for church, so I will try and post some more tomorrow…

It is interesting how God works in your life. I thought things were great that I was just working for Xerox Connect. Well, God always surprises you with those things you don’t expect. I was e-mailed late last night with the information about my job. I work for Chase Manhattan, which is a mortgage/credit card company. Then to make it better than that, I work at the < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />
After finding this out, last night I was so happy. It just keeps getting better. I get there this morning and I began my training. All I primarily do is change toner cartridges everyday. Hey, I know it sounds stupid and obscenely easy, but when you are getting paid good, who cares! I am also doing basic printer maintenance. Well, it still gets better yet.
I began to talk to my boss, Mike. Well, Mike asked me what I have been doing recently. I told him about some of the stuff I do at church. He asked me where I attend now, and I told him. I come to find out that he goes to a Baptist church on the west side and is a small group leader. I was defiantly surprised to find this out.
How much better can it be? I get a job, near my house, paying good, doing barely anything, and with a Christian boss. But wait… there’s more…
I got a call from the consulting company I am employed through. They are sending me tomorrow to
So as you can see, I currently sit on Could 9, and it is going to be pretty hard to knock me off. Well, I am going to get off of here; I have things to do before bed…

I was searching on Rhapsody (http://www.listen.com), for different songs that have meant something to me. I found a song that I held onto during the hard times in my life. I thought I would post the wonderful words of this, to possibly encourage someone that reads this journal – < ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Life is Hard (God is Good)
Pam Thum
You turn the key
And close the door behind you
Drop your bags on the floor
You reach for the light
But there’s darkness deep inside
And you can’t take it anymore
But sometime livin,
Takes the life out of you
But sometimes livin,
Is all you can do
Life is hard, the world is cold,
We’re barely young, then were old
But every fall tear, is always understood
Life is hard, but God is good
You start to cry, ‘cause you’ve been strong for so long
But that’s not it feels
Oh you try to pray, but there’s nothing left to say
So you just quietly kneel
In the silence of all that you face
God will give you, His mercy and Grace
Jesus said it was never an easy road to travel
He only said that you would never be alone
When you last thread of hope, begins to come unraveled
Don’t give up, He’ll walk beside you on the journey home
And He knows…
Life is hard, the world is cold,
You’re barely young, then you’re old
But every fall tear, is always understood
Life is hard, but God is good
My friend Mike Russell sang that at a camp meeting I worked at. It was only days later that my grandpa passed away, that song brought me so much comfort, during that time, and through the other trials I’ve been through since then. I hope that it may bring encouragement to someone else in their walk.

Well, lets see… I went to Youth Group last night, ran Sound and put together the PowerPoint presentation. Things are going great in my life right now! I called my consulting company tonight, and found out that I am going to get the job! I start tomorrow, and will be trained for the next two weeks in advanced printer repair. I am so glad I finally got my first job.
I will be busy for the next few weeks. After work on Friday, I have to get a lot of my work done for school, and stay ahead so I can work next week. Also, I am starting to work for Crossroads in the tech department, so things are getting pretty busy around here.
Well, all… I am going to go, I have some stuff to get finished tonight.

Wonderful news! I got a call on the way home from church tonight. It was a consulting company I had worked for in the past. They have a three month conract with Xerox available in Columbus, and they want me to take it. I hopefully will be starting Monday. I am so excited.
Anyways, other than that, there isn’t much going on. I am working on the SYA site, and that is about it.

Life is going great at the moment. I spent today at the church; it was easier than me driving clear home and going clear back. Tonight we had a dramatic drama called “Heaven’s Gates and Hell’s Flames”. That went really well. After church I hung out with my friends, and we watched “Maid in < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />
Interestingly enough when I got home tonight, someone from my former church left me a really nice message that said, “**** your church and your info”. I have to say that since I changed churches, things haven’t gone the best. For those of you who didn’t know, yes I drive to Circleville every Sunday morning, night, and Wednesday evening. I attend
Well, I am off. I have to get up tomorrow and do some video editing, school work, and then go give a video to my friend after she gets off of work.

Wow… we live in a smaller world than I thought. Three people I used to go to school with, now got to ECOT. Unfortunately, we cannot do student-student e-mail so I am attempting to get a hold of them. If anyone would happen to know a way I could get a hold of Carl Schultz, David Ludolph or Jonathan Marsh then contact me ASAP.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Hopefully one of them will graduate early, that way I would know one other person at my graduation. So anyways, nothing much has been going on. I went to church, been doing school, going to church Wednesday, which is about it.
I am bored; maybe I will go get lost at the mall or something, who knows. Anyways, I will try and write later.

Yet another exciting year at ECOT. For those of you who don’t know me all that well, that would be Electronic Classroom of Tomorrow. Yeah, I go to school online, does that surprise you at all? Anyways, we are experiencing a few “issues” with the new servers they’re using this year, so I have some downtime.< ?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />
Nothing exciting is really going on. I just got up at < ?xml:namespace prefix = st1 ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:smarttags" />
Yeah, I know… I live such an exciting life. Anyways, I am going to take off and try and see if I can start working yet, if not, I am going to take off and go to Sams Club.
