Life changes in the works…

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Hi friends – this is a very ‘catchy’ headline with little substance, unfortunately.

As I’m sure you’ve seen – things have been slow for some time, on Bogopolis.com. There are a lot of things that have been floating through my head for sometime now – I’m working through a lot of life thoughts and feelings…

I’m considering some options right now that have the potential to change a lot of aspects of my life (school, job, location, vocation, etc.) – I’ve been trying to spend time focusing on these things and clear my mind – that’s one reason I flew home to Indiana for an extended weekend.

Bear with me, as I work through the clutter – I’m hoping to be able to come to conclusions in the next month or so and share them with you, but I’d love for you to be praying for me (if praying isn’t your cup of tea, then just knowing that you were thinking about me would be a wonderful thought with me…).

Those of you who read this, are my closest friends and family – knowing that you’re with me is an amazing encouragement.

You all are awesome – stay cool!

Tim.

“We’re Just Moving Home”

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Those were the words uttered during a worship service, I attended yesterday evening, at my old campus ministry CCF on Thursday night.

Most years, Thursday would have been an evening to celebrate the end of the school, new graduates, and the coming of spring. On Thursday evening, however, dozens of classmates and friends gathered to say goodbye to a location – but a not the family – that gave so much to so many people.

CCF will be moving in two weeks to a new location – the new location is only a few blocks from the current location.  The experience provided some interesting perspective on what a building or a piece of property should mean to a gathering of Christ Followers.

Kudos to Northwest Airlines

Saturday, April 26th, 2008

Flew NorthWest Airlines home to Indiana and will fly again back to NYC on Monday.

As most of you know, I’m a fan of JetBlue for the customer service they provide on their flights. However, kudos are due to NorthWest – they gave me a full can of soda on my morning flight out of LGA. I got no pretzels or peanuts, but the full can of soda was a step up from previous flights with them and other ‘traditional’ airlines.

Here’s to happier passengers and return business for the struggling airlines.

Indiana Saturdays

Saturday, April 19th, 2008

It seems lately – that I’ve been wearing my IU t-shirt around on Saturdays – no matter where I’m going.

It’s funny, being away from all my friends and family back there, that wearing a t-shirt would be bring back so many warm thoughts.

I didn’t go to IU – but I only lived a half-hour from the epicenter. All of my siblings went there – but I did not – I guess I was the rebel in the family.

I’m going back home this week – Thursday to be exact -it should be a ‘fun’ experience. I’m looking forward to seeing my college friends, but most important my family. It seems that I forget – sometimes – how hard it is to survive without them.

The Caveat of Being an Apple FanBoy

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

I don’t often admit this – but I am an Apple FanBoy – so much so, I can only hang my head in shame as I watch this video – knowing it’s true and laughing my head off at the same time! (Props to Nathan for sharing the link with me…)

Heard On Television

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

“Church is for answers, not questions.”

Sitcom – yes.
A falsehood of the state of our religion – no.

We must ask questions. We must search within ourselves to find the answers our souls craves.

If we allow this notion to consume ourselves and we begin to accept everything from the ‘church’ and not seek questions to the answers that plague us – we become mindless groans.

We must ask questions. We need to ask the whys. We need to loo k into ourselves and ask Why is the Church (global) not addressing the necessary issues?

The television show ended with this:
The church is the place for questions, not just answers.

Good words.

Say Tuned. My church is doing an upcoming series on Life’s Toughest Questions. Should be good.
