Hello friends and enemies, please visit johnrobinsoneats at your convenience; I have started blogging out every food I consume and every deliberate exercise I perform. It helps to know my friends are watching what I eat, and can criticize/mock/encourage as necessary.
Sup.
Been trying to get my home finalized. Right now the only thing stopping me from closing on the thing and moving in is RENTERS. They were given 60 days to be out, and they have apparently decided to wait until the last possible day to move out. It has gotten to the point where I drive by there every day, hoping to see a moving van. Alas it has not happened yet. I feel bad for my parents, cause I have belongings spread far and wide waiting to be moved. the upstairs region of their home is totally littered with furniture, appliances, and miscellaneous items with no place to go until the moving day. I think they’re about as ready for me to be moved as I am, haha. But, the Lord is good, and so is His timing. I see now that if I had tried to move out before now, the finances would have been darn near impossible to deal with.
You readers of this, be praying for me. While I’m very grateful for the job I currently have, I don’t want to do Information Technology for the rest of my life, so I’m searching for good decisions about my career. We learned a lot about good Christian decision-making in the most recent college and career group study, so I do acknowledge that I shouldn’t wait around for God to give me a big neon sign over my bed telling me what career path to take (not that He couldn’t do that, and I’d LOVE it if He did). I feel like the right situation is going to present itself, and I need to be in prayer about taking and grasping a good opportunity if it comes along, and not using Christian cop-outs to avoid a change. Dad used to say a lot that he had a hard time picking a career, and only picked law because someone else intervened and gave him a good nudge in that direction. His problem was the same as mine, we’re just interested in a lot of things, and could enjoy working in a large variety of fields. Like there are only a few careers that I can say I would never do. Right now the plan is to use free time exploring some avenues that could turn into careers. First up, internet business. I’m working with a few people on a dot com startup that has potential. We will see.
Another possible future career: photografszzz (I wish)

Recently my leg got scraped up pretty badly, and apparently I didn’t clean it out well enough, because it has developed an infection. This information is straight from the mouth of the Dr. Reverend Larry Lorenzo Holmes the Illustrious, so scoff not. I cannot do any real physical activity, which will be tough. However, I will now enjoy days of sympathy and attention, both of which I thrive upon, haha.
The Office premiere last night was fine, nobody that I was with had any real problems with it. It wasn’t a knock your socks off episode, but it was very solid. Amy and Jessi made some unbelievable dessert items, chocolate chip cookies from Amy and a cake with Dwight Schrute on it by Jessi. the cake can be seen here.
Something happened last Sunday afternoon that I forgot to mention earlier this week: we had the mini-pastor’s class for all the adults who were kind of raised in the church but never really signed the covenant or officially joined with Calvary Chapel Greenwood. They went through the material and at the end, those of us who wanted to sign the covenant and join the church did so. This was a really important thing for me personally to do, and I am so glad to officially be a part of my church. I believe this will help me with accountability and commitment to this ministry and body of people.
AND, congratulations to Kristian, Leah, and Matias, who have a new baby boy in their lives named Oskar Børge Tjemsland. sweet!
