What Holds Us together? How come we Don’t fall apart?

Right now I am blogging from a completely different machine than my last post (fun). I am using temporarily a 7 year old laptop I brought home on Sunday. We used to have it here at the house about 2 or 3 years ago. My dad got it from the computer graveyard at his office. He said he got it out a week or so ago and it was broken. So I brought it home, it was lonely. I plugged it into the wall… nothing happened I got the volt meter out and tested the power supply it worked, (when we had it here before we went through 2 power supplies.) I used the handy button on the back of it to restart it… once again nothing happened. I sat there looking sad about it. Then I took the battery out (which btw was completely dead and hit the power button. TADA! Yay it worked I heard the Famous Mac startup sound(which by the way is too hevenly to describe.)

The screen Hesitated to Cut on but it got there. So now I am using this old Powerbook G4 (Btw it was top of the line 7 years ago.) For sometime. It has been fun. I am dreading the day I have to give it up.

Machine Name:      PowerBook G4

  Machine Model:      PowerBook3,2

  CPU Type:                       PowerPC G4  (11.2)

  Number Of CPUs:      1

  CPU Speed:                      400 MHz

  L2 Cache (per CPU):      1 MB

  Memory:                          512 MB

  Bus Speed:            100 Mhz

  HD:                                  10 GB

 As I look at the specs of this machine I noticed it is really old. IPods have a bigger hard drive.

My dad and I were in target before I applied, I was looking at the new 2-gig iPod shuffle, and He said why don’t you just buy a real iPod? I decided to buy an 80gig iPod classic. I said I was, and got shot down by my own words out of another person’s mouth. I said… and I quote “after I buy this I will pay everything back into my bank account.” That was right after I bought my new guitar. I kinda remember it but I don’t want to. This started a conversation about money (I am not very responsable with money.) I have been listening to Dave Ramsey. And my dad asked, “What would Dave do?” and then asked “How is your budget going?” The obvious answer for me is what budget? He then went on to say “10 percent to stuff you want.” I was like what? That’s not fair! I don’t make enough for that. My last paycheck was $81.15. So I need to make more money… This also started another conversation with my own business. I am starting a lawn care business next summer. Why not this summer? B/c I don’t have a truck. Which is why I am starting a 2nd job. I also don’t have a car to get me to School and back next year so I need a truck soon. And I still want an iPod

I bought A guitar.

And This Beauty

How Can I afford All this? I really Can’t but I do Have a Job.

I Play guitar at my church for 2 services now. 

8:30 AM and now 6:00 PM 

Last Night was really cool. It was a little different than usual. But I eventually got over that (why am I writing about it?). I was playing my guitar and the pastor had an altar call. halfway into it I hear this screaming from over in my corner in the sanctuary. I looked over to my partner in crime (Acoustic Guitar Player) And I asked “What Is going on?” I eventually figured that out at 11:00 at night (I think). Any way I had a Word earlier Saturday that something Big Was gonna take place Sunday. I was expecting It to be the night service. It was the morning service Normally our Early morning Group just stares at us Waiting to be entertained. But I noticed that they Were actually entering into Worship (Cool huh?).
