I had big plans for today. Here is how I planned out my work day:

buy clomid online clomid online generic

9:00 – 10:30 AM: Go to a client and drop off a new computer. Configure the PC and do a couple of other quick chores.
10:35 AM – 12:00 PM: Work on Web pages.
12:00 PM – 12:30 PM: Lunch.
12:30 PM – 4:00 PM: Work on Web pages.
4:00 PM – 5:00 PM: Finish up an article for my blog.
5:00 PM – ?: Dinner, family time, etc.

Here is how my day actually went:

9:30 AM: Arrive at client and configure computer.
10:00 AM – 4:30 PM: Try to fix a program on the client’s server that just so happened to stop working while I was there.

And that was that. I got absolutely no Web work or writing done today. How tragic. I will try to get some done this evening but am not holding out any great hope! But hey, at least I logged some good billable hours today so it’s not all bad…

Think of the End to Motivate the Action

I believe in the value of Sunday evening services. But my belief in their value is not evenly distributed across the Lord’s Day. I believe in them a lot at 7:00 PM, just after the service has come to a conclusion. I believe in them far less at 4:30 PM when I have to pry…

The Most Neglected Element of Worship

There are some elements of public worship that receive a great deal of attention. These elements are taught, practiced, rehearsed, and perfected until they are as good as they can be. In most churches, this includes the music, of course, and often the preaching. Why do these receive so much attention?

The Difference Between Ben Sasse and So Many Other Saints

Ben Sasse is dying publicly and dying well, testifying to Christ before millions. But his faithfulness mirrors that of countless unknown saints who have made the same trek to the grave with the same confidence in God.
