Off the Chip episode 219

“The company wanted to save money so they hired a new I.T. consulting firm.”

I heard the other day of a consultant who’s primary task was to keep himself working with a client. He didn’t want to do anything that would put him out of work so he kept doing scrappy little pieces of work to look like he was bein successful, yet he was ensuring he wasn’t reaching the ultimate goal.

I have also seen a few luddite I.T. guys before. Can’t say I blame them. A new technology comes along and it’s just new enough to mess up the whole system when implemented. There is nothing like starting from scratch just when you have all the computers talking nice to each other!

Prayer Life

“The hospital called. Your prayer life has been rushed into intensive care!”
Yes, there have been those times where my face gets flushed because I realize I haven’t prayed most of the day. Come on, Kevin! You can’t run on batteries all day!

What is a good prayer life anyway? This post by the Desiring God site offers some tips. The bottom line is it is a personal choice that centers around just taking time to do it. I like to get up early in the morning and journal my prayers. I either write by hand or type them in my electronic journal. No matter how you do it, I encourage you to find some time and take your prayer life off of life support.

NAEN Ministries: Work is its own reward

They say good work is its own reward, eh?
I create a monthly comic strip for NAEN Ministries. Once in a while, I like to take a clichĂ© and see what happends when I twist it around. Good work is its own reward, but it’s still good to receive a paycheck from it.

Lessons Learned


Caption reads, “Sunday school was great, Dad. James agreed to go out with me when I’m old enough to date!”

I often wonder what my kids are learning when I’m teaching a Sunday school class. Probably more than I want to know. Hopefully they learn an eternal lesson that will change their lives forever-for the better.

Controlling the tongue

As I’m trying this blog thing, I keep reminding myself to watch my tongue. As Paul said,

“Everything is permissible for me”—but not everything is beneficial.” 1 Corinthians 6:12
