As the kids go off to acquire candy for me (due to the high candy tax) I decided to post a picture of the carvings for this year.
You can probably guess who made each one.

Sermon 6: Gospel (+1 Righteousness)

Yes, they did video tape it too.
On August 30, 2009 I had the privilege of giving the weekly sermon for CCPC. I used the book of Galatians, chapter 1 for my text to get across the point that, just like the believers in Galatia, we try to “augment” or “upgrade” the Gospel by inserting our own righteousness. Our friends, kids, and the the watching world see this and rightly want little part of it. Here is a link to the mp3 if you want to listen. I could not get everything in that I wanted, but I trust that God will use it for His glory. Drop me a comment if you have thoughts or questions.

Drew lost his first tooth today. He is very pleased with himself. Make sure to ask him to smile for you!
Random Scenario Generator

I made a random plot/scenario generator based on an article over at IBM. I hope you have fun playing with it. If you wind up writing a book as a result make sure to name the protagonist after me.
Holey Moley

Well, I had my first dermatologist appointment in over three years last week. He did not like what one of the moles on my hip looked like, so he shaved it off and sent it to the lab for analysis. It came back as a “3″ on a one (normal mole) to five (skin cancer). So I went in today and they excised the area. Ugh. Been a while since I had stitches. Maybe I should post a gruesome picture… Nah.
Sermon 5: The Armor of God: The Helmet and Sword

The sermon series right now at CCPC is on the Armor of God. I had the opportunity to not only give the sermon on the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit and how it relates to our union with Christ (listen: mp3) , but I also go to give a little children’s sermon (not recorded). I hope you are blessed and challenged by it.
Random limerick

I wrote a program to generate random limericks. Here are two example results:
There once was a man in crowded Who thought they were quite shambled. They had their observation's, And some abbreviations, But could not really unheeded.
There once was a lady from miserably, Who thought they were quite fashionably. They had their coupon, And some hellion, But could not really provably.

Ok, so I created a facebook profile. I do not actually plan to use it much though. I created it because a friend mentioned a job opportunity (before switching to S3) writing FB apps, so I decided to check it out.
S3

I found what looks to be an excellent opportunity as a Principle Systems Software Engineer at Social & Scientific Systems, Inc.. I will still be in the clinical informatics realm, but now supporting a company whose primary focus is on AIDS trials in Africa and breast cancer in the US. In several respects this is a challenging step up for me, and I am thankful that God made everything work out. Thank you all for your prayers!
Bad Decision

Well, it looks like the Decision I posted about on Sat Aug 16 2008 might not have been the best decision. I decided to stay under the promise that I would extend the system I had worked on for 2 years to work for all the studies at the center. I guess the adage “a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” does not apply here somehow. So, I am on the job hunt for good positions in the Maryland I-270 corridor. sigh
