Another day gone. Great day today….filled with learning/adventure/excitement/mystery, and other stuff too. Worked/trained all day, and then came back to the hotel alone again. Had too much energy to relax, so I headed out towards an outdoor mall to find an outlet. Found a Banana Republic!!!! That opens next month. Jerks.

Found a Coldstone Creamery!!! Didn’t go. Not sure why….but anyways, I went to see “War of the Worlds” finally. Got to sit right in the middle, cause like 2 people go to the movies on Thursday at 6:30pm. It was a good movie for the special effects. And for Dakota whats-her-face. She’s a pretty good little actress. But that Tom Cruise guy…whew. PPPPLLLLLTTTT (that’s how you spell a loud fart noise, by the way) Cheesy lines, cheesy character, random unbelievable action sequences, and an ending that sucked butt. I’m glad I saw it in the theater, because if I’d waited to rent it, I wouldn’t have been impressed by anything really.

I’m still wondering whether its better to have someone in front of you, who moves around once in a while, but you can see just fine, and tune them out…or having no one at all in front of you, but the guy behind you keeps boxing the back of your seat…keeps chomping on noisy popcorn, slurping down pop, and forgetting that because this theater has nice seats, he shouldn’t put his feet up on them. Oh yeah, your heads there too.

I’m pretty sure I’d rather have this guy in front of me than behind me. Ah well.

Meanwhile, be praying for the people involved/connected to the bombing’s overseas today. I’m sure you’ve all heard of them. They need our prayers and support. The world is aching for God. Yearning for the Kingdom. Pregnant with anticipation. Let’s do our part to usher that Kingdom in NOW. ? Love. Pray. Mourn with those who mourn. Then find a flower and smile. There is still God in this world. Present in our every day lives…..God’s love, life, freedom, and mercy. Take a deep breath, slowly, and breathe out a prayer of thankfulness for all that we have.

Anyways, I’m rambling…..and need to go to bed. Less than 24 hours and I’ll see my wife again!!! I get to take her out, whoo hooo!!!:) Love you Sarah, and can’t wait to see you again!!!

THIS JUST IN!!!!

THE NHL MAY FINALLY HAVE COME UP WITH A NEW CBA WITH THE NHLPA!!!!

(laymay’s terms)
HOCKEY MAY YET EXIST THIS COMING SEASON!!!

Sources close to the action say that an agreement of 37 Million Dollar cap, not including benefits…has been reached. Check out http://www.nhlcbanews.com for more updates, or just watch my xanga for more updates. From what it sounds like, it could be official by as soon as next Monday!!!

Now, more than ever….pray. Fast. Believe.

I do believe in hockey. I do. I do.

I do believe in hockey. I do. I do.

I do believe in hockey. I do. I do. (repeat as necessary)

Well, I usually wait for someone to comment before I post again, but I suppose I’ll go ahead.:)

I started my new job yesterday!!! WHOO HOO! Well, not quite that exciting, but at least it’s better than things were at the radio station. It’s so tempting, getting a glimpse into this world, where if I worked really hard, I could move up the ladder into a really high paying job in like 3 years. That’s what pretty much everyone here wants to do…make more money…..move wherever the job takes them in order to make more money.

I just want a house. I want a family. I want less debt than I have right now. I want to give our kids everything they need, and a little more for fun. I want to preach. I want to pastor. I want the world to see Jesus when they see me. Before you think I’m sounding selfish..”I want, I want, I want”. Know this….these are the desires of a man who has given his heart/desires to God. These are God’s desires for my life, Lord willing. I believe God is calling me to be an amazing father/husband/pastor/preacher/mirror of Him.

So the question is….when/if a Youth Pastor job comes up, would I take it? Hard to know. Obviously, my life goal is full-time ministry. Right now I’m involved in ministry still….pastoring/preaching/teaching. But my heart yearns to have the freedom of a full-time pastor. To give it everything I can. But I also know that this time spent focusing on finances/saving/buying a home is needed/necessary. ahfgeri0wankvdl;saifnedask./jnkovpfcz

K, so I’m getting way ahead of myself, and worrying about a decision that doesn’t exist. There’s so much joy in what I have right now. Experiencing life’s new adventures today. I never would have thought I’d be selling office solutions through a world-reknown company. It’s kind of exciting, like visiting a foreign land for a long period of time. I’m learning to speak their language…learning what they do for fun….learning how they balance life. I’m also trying to add to their world….by adding a little Chadwick flava’ here and there. But most of all, attempting to reflect Christ, and His Love in every situation possible. Which is a bit harder to do here, than when I was paid to do it full-time.

Anyhoo…staying by myself in a hotel in Peoria. Schlotzky’s on one side, Panera on the other. Pool….hot tub…cable….wireless internet….books. I’m really suffering here. Okay, so honestly I really do miss one thing….Mrs. Anderson. Like crazy. Two big huge empty beds in this crazy room. I jump on them both, but it’s just not the same. I miss my wife. Friday night…..I get to take her out…..can’t wait!!!! 🙂

God bless ya’ all…..One love….seek a better understanding of YOU in CHRIST….RIGHT NOW.
