A little bit of everything

I have been working on a coffee bar for the house to create more counter space. It was also a good excuse to continue building my wood working skills. This is the first piece of furniture I have made with drawers, so it was a little intimidating. But I thought the worst that could happen is that I screw up and have to buy more wood.

Today should be the last day I am working on/finishing up the coffee bar. I got the plans from Rogue Engineer. I have used his site rogueengineer.com for plans or inspiration on projects in the past. This one was called the Emma Buffet Table. I have finished it with Minwax weathered oak stain and a single coat of Minwax satin polycrylic on the top and shelves. I'll update the post and add the picture hopefully tonight when I'm done.

Rotational throw 1x6 each side
Speed skater to rotational throw 1x3 each side

Today I started a new devotion series on the Bible App. It is reading through the Gospel of John.  I have been a fan of the reading plans on this app and find them even more powerful when done with a friend.  You can post your thoughts for each devotion and your friend can read them as well as share their own. Check it out if you need some direction for your daily reading.

Hurry Up and Wait

So not a lot has happened recently, and a lot has happened recently which is why I haven't posted anything in a week.  The "not a lot has happened" part is really that there hasn't been a short story that began and ended in a single day, so hard to tell that story until it has made its cycle.  Now the "a lot has happened" part: my contract is ending with one company and beginning with another. The job is still the same, but just the hassle to get benefits, finances, and taxes all in order during this transition. There have online webinars, emails, papers to read, papers to sign, papers to scan and submit, offices to go to, deliveries in the mail....tons of stuff that was hard to independently describe without all the other pieces. So that is all coming from the new company KBRwyle. The old company, EXOS, is having its own share of paperwork, emails, and taskers to address during their phase out process. On top of that, it is tax time and I have procrastina...

The beginning of a journey

And so my blogging journey begins... I am beginning this site for several reasons. The primary reason is to have a place to permanently record (journal) my thoughts and life in a place that can always accessed for myself and others in the future.  It will be a means to hopefully make new friends with similar interests, but also a place that my kids may get a glimpse to who their father was "back in the day." I believe that keeping a daily (hopefully) record of my happenings will not only encourage me to be more present, so that I may accurately record my life, but also encourage me to life a life worth recording. I don't want to merely exist from day to day, but to make the most out of each day. I feel that too many men don't maximize their potential. I also feel that society tries to put man in a box and define who he is or should be. The boxes come in many different shapes, sizes and colors. I don't want to debate what the box should be, because that would...
