A Good Start

So a good start to a new week, some things came down the pipe money wise which help lighten some of the stress on my life, which was a awesome blessing and I must say, God is Good - also some billing things got sorted tonight with a customer, so that too I was very happy about, it’s not 100% done yet, but at least things are rolling in that direction and the client seems generally happier in responses.

Throw in some good options in Credit Card processing & Domain/SSL options, I am very excited - this week with not only some good meetings to get some money rolling in, but also the launch of Crazy October for the month starting on Wednesday, I am pretty happy about the possibilities this month, as well as the remainder of this year bring - still have to get the budget sorted out, still need to continue to find ways to increase product revenues, but all in all, its going forward.

Faith wise, one thing I haven’t really talked a TON about as of late, I have been working on a lot of things, really trying to let go of some old things, and try to grab onto some new ones - and one thing I really want to do, is find a home church again, I wander now and again as it stands, but as of late the CoC or “Church of Chuck” has been my standing place of worship - but I’d like to find someplace to really plug-in as a member for a while, and work my way up to “Work” within the church, not that I am against it, but I am still working on the whole boundaries bit with regards to not letting folks take advantage of my Time, Talents and Treasures - it’s not a easy road for me as I do like to help folks, but I look back at church experiences past, and as a Pastor’s Kid my family and I really stepped up and stood in the gap sometimes, when we probably should of simply stepped aside - so baby steps.

What else, trying to really empty the ol brain here as I am trying to wrap up and call it a night - iPod conversions go well, all 3 seasons of The Office are encoded to “Low Rez” aka iPod Screen Size format, so a nice 90mb per episode vs. +200mb - quality is perfect for the iPod, and it’s nice to have episodes on hand if needed - but hoping things on the budget front continue to level out as I’d like to pick up a few classic albums from Amazon.com’s MP3 store, Guardian’s album “Swing Swang Swung” is a classic favorite, I am leaning to simply buy the MP3 album - granted the old disc is $2.99 elsewhere, saves me time, and one more CD case to have lying around.

So here’s to hoping this week is a good one, I know with some things on the docket, it will not be perfect, but I do appreciate the prayers, and the ocasional IM’s - I know I am not the greatest chatter in the world these days, but I do appreciate the quick note, random hello, etc. So feel free to bug now and again!

Anywhoo - have a wonderful week folks!
