Sharing is good...

Our Daily Bread
I have thought a lot about how to be better at sharing God's word the past few years.  I bring up my relationship with God in conversations more.  I try to do a better job of living my beliefs as well.  I have a LOOOONNNGGG way to go, but I am working on letting God's Spirit flow through me each day.

What was my first change?  Being nicer at work!  It is difficult for me to find the balance between being a hard hitting, getting things done professional and being a witness for my Lord.  I struggle with that.

How do you tell others about your relationship with God?

Lord, I want to tell others about you and what you have done for my life!

Technology Thursday
Yes, the technology world is STILL very boring.  I had trouble coming up with a topic for today. Here is an obscure one -- using an AM2+ processor in an AM2 motherboard.  Did I mention the technology world was boring right now?  hehehe

I have an old computer that I took apart to repurpose.  I decided to put it back together, but decided that I didn't want to replace the older motherboard and processor.  The processor is a dual core AMD AM2 chip. It is OK for all practical purposes, but I want more.  hehehe  I am too frugal to spend more money on an AM3 or AM2+ motherboard, so I did some research about using an AM2+ chip in an AM2 motherboard.  Apparently, the earlier AM2+ chips, which includes some quad core processors, will work in the AM2 motherboard.  The sockets are the same, however, the power supply requirements are a little different.  The older AM2+ chips have the same power requirements as the AM2 chips.  The later AM2+ chips have similar power requirements to the AM3 chips.  Whew!  The other potential issue is that some motherboard makes don't provide BIOS (the internal working code of a computer) updates to support the AM2+ chips.  I think I will be OK there.

I will order an AM2+ chip today that will be much faster than what I have now and it won't cost very much (like $60 or so).  I can be happy with that.  I will rebuild that computer and fix the old LCD monitor a friend gave me this weekend.

Did I mention boring?  hehehe

Other Stuff
I had a fun time with some friends at the Columbus Brewing Company last night.  The Asian Cashew Chicken salad was great!  I had a nice phone conversation with a good friend after dinner.

A close friend sent me some essays he wrote.  They were amazing!  I really enjoyed reading them.

I have a very busy evening.  I need to visit a friend at the visiting hours for his mother who passed away this week.  I have an appointment with my counselor.  I have a prayer group meeting at church after that.  Whew!

I also had an epiphany about my role on the Emmaus Walk team.  Meetings started last Saturday.  The first meeting was great!  What a blessing!  God told me that I need to talk less and listen more in the meetings.  I will work on that this week.  There are so many experienced and spiritual men on the team, there is a lot I can learn!

Hang in there, my friends!  I will be upbeat and steady.  That is what I do...
