Very Full Saturday


This morning began by rising at 7:00AM and heading off to Starbucks downtown with a friend of mine. We were meeting another friend for coffee and some fellowship- just the guys. It actually turned out to be pretty enjoyable and I have great respect for both of the men I call "friends".

The afternoon (and later in the evening) was filled with the trials of jailbreaking (easy) and unlocking (not as easy) a first generation iPhone. It was more difficult than it should have been because I performed a factory roll back before I began the steps, which was a good idea at the time, but made for a few more processes (which I had to learn) in order to really get rolling. Then, intermittent WiFi issues kept the Cydia App from being able to connect up with specific file repositories I needed. At this point, things are still half-baked, but I "think" it's ready for testing.

Church tonight was pretty amazing. Although our sermon came in the form of a video from our pastor, it was a good message. It was STELLAR seeing our worship leader up on the stage (he's been out of commission for almost 2 months with a shoulder and back injury) beforehand for worship music. His thoughts on Psalm 42 were genuine. "As the deer..." was a song we sang, but all the while I kept thinking about how the Lord is prompting me to dive deeper into his word each day. My spirit has literally been panting!

Psalm 42:1 (New International Version)

As the deer pants for streams of water,
so my soul pants for you, O God.

For over a year, listening the DailyAudioBible podcasts were enough daily bread. Lately, I've been behind in these audio gems (about 2 weeks, consistently) and I feel that the Lord is asking me to not only continue to listen to these podcasts, but to actually get into reading the Bible as well, meditating on it and then discussing it with other men.

It's time to go deeper into my relationship with Jesus, so I can really "know Him", instead of simply learning about Him.

Good Night
