As some of you may have noticed, yesterday I walked out of SS. And then only moments later pulled Amy out as well. I’m posting this for reassurance. My walking out of class yesterday had absolutely nothing to do with the lesson and what Ben was saying. As a matter of fact I wasn’t/couldn’t pay attention. For you see, I was being hounded. I was being bombarded by the Holy Spirit for something that couldn’t wait any longer. That’s all it was, God wanted my attention at that very moment and it couldn’t wait just 15 more minutes until SS was over. It had to be dealt with right then and there.
So please, please, please don’t think I walked out for any reason in relation to the topic on Sunday. As I said before I wasn’t even paying attention. I was too busy trying to fend off what the Holy Spirit was telling me to do. Trying to write it off for a passing feeling that would eventually go away. But that didn’t happen, it only got worse. I knew what it would look like if I walked out, but I also knew what would happen if I didn’t. So I’ll deal with the rumors that may come about as a result of my action, until people can learn the truth.
Thanks to all who checked up on Amy and I. We appreciate it so much and it’s nice to know that we’re loved and cared about.
I shutdown my home server until I get some time to work on it. I had someone try to hack into it today using fake IP’s in Israel, The Netherlands, Germany, Spain, Great Britain, etc.. It was crazy. I just happened to check on my server while I was at work and I saw that someone was “listening” to my station in Germany. I tracked it down to multiple IP’s that were fake. I don’t think he/she actually got in, but they were pretty close. That’s it I guess. Just thought some of you would like to know.
This is it…..all day long. This is where I do, whatever it is I do.
It’s been longer than I’ve wanted since I’ve posted. That’s because there’s not a lot going on. I’ll let the nerd side of me take over for a second…
NERD STUFF:
After investing around 20+ hours into Ubuntu (Linux) I’ve decided I met most of my goals. I set up a web server, ftp server, telnet SSL server, GNUMP3d (for streaming MP3’s) and a Slimserver (for my Roku Soundbridge). I had it working for the most part (all except the Slimserver). Now that I know I can do it, I’m calling it quits….for now. Because I have a perfectly good machine with a Windows XP license, I decided not to let that go to waste. So I made my HP box (I named the server ‘emery’) my FTP/HTTP/iTUNES/SHOUTcast server. This took maybe 5 hours to setup versus my 20+ I poured into the Linux box. In the future I’ll probably still mess with my virtual Ubuntu box and get it configured just right, then I’ll copy over those settings to a physical box. I’ve set up the FTP server for anonymous access but there aren’t any files there yet but in the future I’ll but music/pics/videos there for all you to see. And maybe if you ask I’ll create an account for you to upload stuff, Scott Williams.
LIFE STUFF:
Life has been pretty normal. Amy and I are really enjoying our small group. We’re both ready to move, but we don’t know where. I’ll be honest and say that I’m not giving God enough time to talk to me. It’s like, “here God I have 5mins…..and go.” Funny that it’s not working and I’m getting frustrated. I’m enjoying reading people’s blogs and hearing about the steps everyone is taking. I’m excited for them…but I’m jealous too. But it’s because I’m not pursuing God with all I have. I know that’s why stuff isn’t happening I know it. But I don’t know how to pursue God completely. It’s different for everyone but I’d appreciate hearing some common things that people know work.
