New Family Tradition: Toledo Zoo!
Thursday, May 21, 2009
Well, I started some morning discipline…
It wasn’t a huge step. More of just moving my feet just a tiny bit rather than a strong step. After Erin ran this morning she came back and I put on my “running shoes” and walked for a half hour. Ya, not so tough but man it was awesome out this morning. I mean AWESOME. Though I don’t care if it’s raining or whatever… but man, sun was shining, light breeze, and hardly anyone out (just a few crazy runners). I came back home and read the rest of Daniel (strange ending to that book). And thus begins my life of discipline. I’m hoping and praying that I can keep up with this for both my physical and spiritual life.

Here is yoru reading for week 2. quest02. Like we talked about, read it early this week so you can roll it around in your head this week. Think about the discussion questions so you have something to talk about.
One thing I did not think about was that next week is Memorial weekend. I know of one couple who will be away? Do you all want to skip next week and dive back in the following week or hang the Roddens out to dry? ha!
You all rock!

Let's see what apple does with 10.5.7
Normally I'd wait to see the fallout of a new OS update before installing, but meh.

Star Trek
Got to see the new Star Trek movie today. I was ready for dissapointment and ready to be annoyed. But ya know what? Not only was the movie great, it also kept with the Star Trek mythos. Well, it kidna did, if you can call changing the past staying in the mythos. The actors did an excellent job portraying the younger versions of the characters we who have enjoyed the franchise have enjoyed for years. I'm not sure how I feel about how they got a clean slate but if it brings about more movies like I just saw, I think I'll deal with it.

Not Called to Understand
I was reading Daniel 8 just now. Daniel had some messed up dreams/visions. Rams and Goats fighting etc... But even Daniel didn't have an interpretation... he sat as I would with mouth open, mind in total confusion trying to figure out WHAT THE HECK any of what he had just dreamed had to do with ANYTHING.
This may not apply to mine (or your life) cuz I'm not Daniel. But it does offer me one consoling thought that I don't have to understand. There's not guilt in being confused. I can try to figure it out but there may be no prize for working it out. If it is obviously from God, just listen. If action is necessary, the directions will come along with it, otherwise wait.
I've done it! Mwa ha ha ha
Saturday night I updated my phones firmware ROM following instructions from the great phone site MoDaCo. I really did it to gain some functionality other than GPS but got to test it today and indeed it works. It really needs to be in a window to work due to a week receiver? But man is it nice to make your hardware do what it was designed to do and what we have as consumers, the right to do.
The upgrade should also improve the battery life, fix a low volume issue, give some interface tweaks as well and I look forward to fiddling with it.

I hate phone companies
- Boo Blackberry for making someone either add expensive, enterprise software
- Boo Blackberry for making us use USB cables to do anything useful with our phone
- Boo Verizon for not making it super clear before the customer goes home what the phone can and can NOT do
- Boo to the customer service reps who are apparently ignorant of their products and services.
Is it really that hard???
