So what is this

So am I strange in having like 15 different blogs? they all have different things in them or shut i just have one main blog for all my thoughts.

I do not keep up with any of the blogs anyway so i think maybe just one is all I need.  This blog I hope will express my life and my struggles, and hopefully i will remember to change the name to protect the innocent.

Thing you need to know about me. first things first, I cannot type of spell, hopefully this will get better as i blog every couple of days. Second I have a life, a job , a family and i go to church, so all those things will be in this blog. Third there will be post you will not like, these are my thought and they are aloud to change.  

I think that is it for now, I hope remember to write so you can enjoy,

This Blog Thing is hard

It has been a while, I always have this great idea just never seems to get down on paper. (well a Blog)

So as you may or may not know my day to day job is in IT.  I am a systems administrator for a small company.  As a Sys Admin I get to do 2 things Projects an Tickets.  Projects are long term events that will help the health of It company wide.  Tickets are the daily work when end user have an issue that they need to be fixed on.  when i first took the job as a Sys admin, I quickly found out i got no time for nothing.  So I started looking for help to manage my time better.   I found a book, I have already red it once, but now I am reading it again.

To night as I went for a walk and was reading the book, I was reading and a sentence struck me.  Here is the quote.

"Interruptions are the natural enemy of focus. They steal time from us both directly and indirectly."

Limoncelli, Thomas A. (2009-02-09). Time Management for System Administrators (Kindle Location 778). O'Reilly Media. Kindle Edition.

I think this can be used in other areas in my life as well.  I hope this book will give me the tools on hoe to combat. my time management down falls.

Proverbs 1

On Sunday 7/13/2014, our preacher started a study of the book out Proverbs.  He made some good point about how to read the book of Proverbs, which I will cover in a later post (I forgot my notes at home). Well at the end of his lesson he challenged use to read the book with him.  The book has 31 chapters.  This is Chapter 1, while reading I will make some notes about what the book says to me.    

Proverbs 1

The first couple of verses tell us who the this chapter is written for.  then we get in to the meat of the chapter. 

Verses 10 -19

This passage  tell me that we need to be careful about who we allow to influence our life.  If people influences you to do bad thing s our go against your teaching you should not listen to them.  You need to stand up for what you believe in.  I need to stand up for what I believe in an not be influenced by the people who tell me not to.  The people who influence us to go against what we believe in just want to use us got there own gain.  We need to start listening to that voice in side of us that tells us what we are doing is wrong.

Verse 20-21  

Talks about Wisdom as being a woman, I found this interesting.  I know that Proverbs can't be read literally, but i still find it interesting. There is 2 parts that I think makes this interesting.

1. Wisdom as a woman, why if it is not to be read literally why not use he, or him?

2.  If woman have a leadership role in the old testament, why do we have such an issue about in today's Church?

Part 2 is really a longer study and discussion then I want to talk about today, just remember part 2 for later. Part 1 I emailed my preacher about  here is his response:

Referring to wisdom as a woman is a figure of speech called "personification." In English, most nouns don't have gender, but in most foreign languages, including Hebrew, nouns may be feminine or masculine or neuter. In Hebrew, "wisdom" is a feminine noun. Why? Don't know. It just is. It may be no more complicated than to say that wisdom is a "she" because it's a feminine noun and we shouldn't make much more of it than that. Proverbs 8-9 contrasts worldly wisdom (folly - 9:13) and godly wisdom using the metaphors of a virtuous and a loose woman. It's a personification - a figure of speech not meant to be taken literally.

Which makes since to me, so part one is answered for me.

Verses 22-33

Is "Wisdom" talking about what happens if you do not listen to wisdom.  "Wisdom" is calling you and me to listen and follow the Lord.  yet when we do not listen and follow to her she will be there when disaster happens.  

Yet there is HOPE.

"Wisdom"closes the chapter with a verse of hope. Verse 33 from the NIV reads: 

33but whoever listens to me will live in safety and be at ease, without fear of harm.”

If we listen to Wisdom, if we follow the Lord, we will have safety and be at ease.  that is Awesome, but how do we know we are listening to the correct wisdom?

I hope the rest of the book of Proverbs will tell us.

The Start

So I started a blog many many moons ago.  Back then you had a blog for every topic that you wanted to write about.  I have started and stopped many blogs.  But this one will be a place for all my thoughts and fears.  This will be a place that I will talk about my live, my work, my religion, my hope and dream. I hope you will enjoy this.

thanks
