http://www.fraggedformysins.com Fri, 10 Oct 2008 13:51:38 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en This weekend, the ladyfriend and I will be going back to a camp that I attended pretty much for all of the 90's, (so that's like 5th grade to Senior in HS) that was very formative for me both as a believer and as a person. It's called Burnamwood, ... http://www.fraggedformysins.com/2008/10/10/callin-me-back-home-to-burnamwood/ It's understood that I have a tendency to over-think something that should be simple. The brain that fries itself with complex problems that have complex ansers often has trouble coming up with simple answers to simple problems. With that in mind... Over the last few years, I've come to a place ... http://www.fraggedformysins.com/2008/10/08/towards-a-streamlined-drive-thru-ordering-ethic/ So a loooong time ago, July 10th, 2007, and the ~70 days previous to that, I got it in my head to try and do a once-a-day photo stream. I had a blast, I'm always seeing things that I think would be epic to have a picture of. ... http://www.fraggedformysins.com/2008/09/30/well-we-ressurected-the-blawg-might-as-well-do-the-once-a-day-photosteam-too-right/ I've recently been trying to cut down on the amount and volume of items I carry around in my pockets every day.

Sunday, Monday, today. I've decided to make a routine out of it on afternoons I have available, and plan on having a lovely stack of firewood by the time it gets cold enough to make use of it. More ... http://www.fraggedformysins.com/2008/09/23/eric-novice-lumberjack/ This weekend, my parents came in to town. Hurray! Given that my parents both subscribe to the "busybody" theory of vacation (Heather subscribes to the "chillin' hardcore" theory of vacation), we were in motion nearly the entire time they were here. Stone Mountain, trip to the mall ... http://www.fraggedformysins.com/2008/09/21/my-weekend-or-a-treatise-on-manly-activities/ This is the second dose about community from me. Part one is here. So last time I promised I would talk more specifically about how community looks in my current life. Perhaps you could call this some form of a 'state of our community' address. As I mentioned on Tuesday, ... http://www.fraggedformysins.com/2008/09/18/the-%e2%80%9ceat-together%e2%80%9d-test-or-a-post-about-deep-community-part-two/ (tl;dr version: if you aren't close enough friends that you could be talking to them on the phone, and take a wizz while they're still on the phone and they know you're wizzing, then you probably won't be friends with them if one of you leaves the social group that ... http://www.fraggedformysins.com/2008/09/16/the-eat-together-test-or-a-post-about-deep-community/ It's been too long. I haven't blogged consistently since November 2007 (which roughly coincides with the date of a content filter being installed on the Internets at a former employer... hmm...), which is coming up on a year ago. I do tend to make this a glorius comeback, and as ... http://www.fraggedformysins.com/2008/09/14/back-in-the-game/ http://www.fraggedformysins.com/2008/04/16/do-you-guys-know-what-happiness-is-im-glad-you-asked/
