Hmm, that’s a song actually, but I won’t bore you by typing the words here (especially since I don’t know all of them). But it HAS been a while since I’ve last posted. This is mostly because not much has really been going on. Well, a lot has been happening, but not much that I care to talk about anyway.
Not that it’s been bad really, I just am not done with dealing with everything and so I don’t want to talk about it yet. Something along the lines of going out with my gun half-cocked or something like that. Anyway, the point is that there’s various things going on in my life. Some good, some not so good (I wouldn’t go so far as to say bad though). However, through everything God is trying to teach me to be more reliant on him. So that’s a good thing.
It’s kind of funny actually because right now as I’m writing this, two of my “problems” are fairly close to me and it’s not really an issue to me. I mean, I’m able to just ignore it and go on. So I guess it’s not really a problem, huh? Bah, enough of that crap. How about some quick updates and then we’ll call it a night (for the blog-writing anyway).
First off, I’m still in training. ALWAYS in training it seems. That’s a good thing though because I don’t have a lot of work to do still (and won’t for a bit) and so it keeps me busy (sometimes). I took the second class for MSHA (Mine Safety and Hazard Administration), so that means I just need to do 8 hours of on-the-site training at a mine and I’m legal to work in an open-pit mine for the next year (then I’ll have to do a refresher course). So I’m getting there, it’s just taking a while.
Nothing else going on in the work area really. Everything else is about the same too. Friends, Church, etc… Well, I’m getting to know some people at Casas more, so that’s a good thing (you know, more friends and such). I went to a fund-raiser for a China missions trip that the college/young adult group is going to on the um… 18th of May through the 30th. The food wasn’t all that great, but I didn’t expect much either so it was perfect. I did donate to the group though. Not something I typically do, but I’ve felt God pulling on my heart to donate to a few groups like that.
Another one is the KICY radio station up in Alaska (www.kicy.org). They’ve got a great mission up there and so I’m planning on giving a bit of support to them. They’re having a salmon dinner on Friday night for that at my Church (Grace Community Covenant Church) and are flying the salmon in fresh from Alaska just for this deal (or that’s what I’ve been told). So it should be VERY good. They’re actually charging $15 for the dinner and then doing a silent auction for donated food baskets during the thing too. Plus of course taking straight donations (I think). All of which (well, paying for the dinner up-front) was what Casas should have done for their China thing (makes for a better meal when you have money for it already instead of “borrowing” it against what you plan to get). But I guess that’s just one of those things that you’ve gotta learn the hard way. Maybe I’ll mention it to people there for the next dinner fundraiser they do 
So yeah, that’s about it. Pretty boring really, which is why I didn’t write before now. Hopefully something fun and exciting will happen soon, but we’ll see. I think it’s about time for another rant though. Probably tomorrow since I’m tied up with a concert Thursday. Until then though, have a great time!
