Trying a new thing…

Well I’m trying out a new webblog. This one is called Moveable Type. It’s availible as a download for web hosts and stuff, so I installed it on randallwongband.com. It works pretty nicely, sorta like Blogger or Xanga (just without all the annoying people on them). So yes, if you want to check it out, visit the link.

So yeah, check out my new blogger type thing at randall.randallwongband.com (lol, isn’t that a lil redundant? Then again, it would be nice to have my band members *cough cough* have their own as well. Like wade.randallwongband.com and terrence.randallwongband.com =P patrick.randallwongband.com ? paaaatriiick!! (hrm, sounds like hatrick…anyways, I’m weird).

Cool Stuff in my Devos

Well I just woke up and read some cool stuff in my devotional. I’m on like week 6 or 7, and it’s talking this week about Community. Community within church, friends, etc. Todays was pretty cool, because it talked about how we put on masks in life, and when people ask “How are you?” we always reply with “I’m fine.” While in reality, we may not really be fine, and we may be having a bad day, or worse.

The devotional reminded me of a Switchfoot song off their latest album “Beatiful Letdown” (lol, yes, I finally picked it up. I didn’t believe [info]switchette before, but I do now, the album is awesome!). Anyways, there’s a song on there called “More than Fine” where the lyrics spoke to me in that way (even though they were meant in another way, lol). Here’s the lyrics.

More Than Fine
(Switchfoot)

When I wake in the morning
I want to blow into pieces.
I want more than just okay, more than just okay.

When I’m up with the sunrise.
I want more than just the blue skies
I want more than just okay, more than just okay.

I’m not givin’ up, givin’ up now.
I’m not givin’ up, not backing down.

More than fine, more than bent on getting by.
More than fine, more than just okay.

When I’m lit with the sunshine,
I want more than just a good time
I want more than just okay, more than just okay.

More than oceans away from the dawn
More than oceans away from who we are.
More than oceans, more than oceans
More than fine.

current music: More Than Fine – Switchfoot

Heeeeey Quesadillas! (sung to Macarana or something…)

Yum, just made some good tasting quesadillas. Though now I’m out of tortillas…I’ll have to get some more. Earlier in the week I made fajitas (who said I couldn’t cook?) and they were great. I bought a pack of 20 tortillas, and ate about 5 fajitas that day, and another 3 on Friday. The rest I just ate….I really like Tortillas…maybe I’ll get the 30 pack next time, lol.

Our Music Department at work won a free dinner at Outback, paid for by our boss. =P She was running a contest for inventory. Inventory is when we here at Berean have a count of every single thing in the store, and we set the product numbers to that. We get a team to come in and they have these counter-things on their belts that look like calculators, and they 10 key in every item (they have a team of like 40 people, so it goes by in about 3-4 hours). Luckily I wasn’t there, but if I was, I would have been helping out with finding the SKU’s for items that don’t have Berean tags on it. Anyways, back to the contest. What it was was that Vanessa offered dinner at Outback for the Dept who had the least SKU checks on inventory night. We couldn’t have over 10 either, and if there was a tie, she would take both Depts out (so she was hoping for no tie, lol). Anyways, Teena called me today and told me that we won. She sounded so excited. =P So yeah, we only had 1 item that needed a SKU check. Cool eh? We were all assigned different sections to check cds from. Wheeee, first time going to Outback sometime soon! =)

Music, Weblogs, Worship

Awesome Song, I think it’s by Steve Fee, but I’m not sure, lol. =P

Here are the words, let it capture you. Gosh, I want to use this for worship some time, but not sure when yet…

What Else Can I Do But Worship

Your love for me is a healing comfort for me
Your grace to me is a matchless gift to me
Your power in me is a mighty river in me

At the end of the day with the setting of the sun
After all that is said and done

What else can I do but worship?
What else can I do but bow?
‘Cuz all I really long for is You
All I really yearn for is You

Your Sovereignty is a sure foundation for me
Your hope in me is enduring peace in me
Your care for me brings a sweet surrender to me

What else can I do but praise You?
Joining in the sounds of heaven’s song
‘Cuz all I really long for is You
All I really yearn for is You

Where else would I run but to You
Where else would I go God of life?
‘Cuz all I really long for is You
All I really yearn for is You
And all I really need Lord is You

Tab for Song :|: Music Coming Soon…
