Just a quick note to wish everyone a Happy Halloween before the night ends. I hope your evening was as delightful as mine. While not everyone caught on to my costume immediately it was a hit with those who saw me for what I was.

Do I look grouchy?

 I was doing some work in our server room today and a quick glance revealed to me one of the reasons we are in the middle of our relocation.

 I may not remember correctly, but I thought that 80 degrees was on the high side of the scale for your server room.

 The move is on!

I happened to notice that Jason Lee hadn’t posted on his blog about our newest project. We are relocating our server room. Things are just starting, we happen to have two of the best cable pulling machines you can find, their names are wayne and jim. They have gotten all the conduit/fiber pulled already! Currently the HVAC guys are putting in our cooling system. We are on a very tight time schedule so things will be moving forward quickly. Stay tuned for the updates.

I’ve been thinking lately about myself. I’m a fixer. To the T, no question. If there is an issue I want to solve it. Sometimes this can be good. I have a natural tendency to want to improve things. Which, when they need to be improved is a good thing. It’s not so good, however, when Erin is just trying to talk to me. And I do my best to listen, yet I still foul it up.(Not a big surprise) But what I’ve been looking at is how this affects my spiritual life. As I do my studies, and dig into the lives of the apostles, I try and find things to change in order to be more….holy. But that never quite works out the way I would like. Sure I can be nicer or less proud, but that change only lasts until my true nature seems to resurface. Now I’m not saying my attempts at good works shouldn’t continue. I’m just realizing how futile the attempts to change my sinful nature have been. Jesus said that no man is good but God. Aside from being very humbling this just makes me realize how much we need God. Sure we can put up a front, and make it look like we are good people, but apart from the holy spirit no change an really take place. It’s just going through the motions.

I just had to smile the moment I realized that, the fact that I am a fixer just means that I am all the more broken.
