I used to think time was relative- a year when you’re 6 is 1/6th of your life; a year when you’re 60 is 1/60th of your life. It makes sense that time seems to speed up as we get older. I often hear seniors say “the hours go slow, the years go fast”.
But my kids are commenting how fast the hours, weeks, months and years are going, and I have to agree.
I’m wondering if it has sometime to do with the speed of light changing, or maybe there is some theological significance from Daniel. I’ll research theological angle and get back to you.
If anyone can confirm my thoughts about the speed of light, I’d appreciate you.
2012 is coming up you know, and the timeline for “88 Reasons Why Christ Must Return in 1988″ comes back into play, along with the end of the Mayan calendar… Man I’ve got to start writing fiction again
I’m printing off a manuscript for “How to Hope at the End of the Rope”. There are still a few significant gaps to close up in the draft, but I wanted to give it to Kaz to read and I know it’s easier for me to edit a hard copy as well. I don’t have the tray capacity for the number of pages so I’m waiting a while for more pages to be done…
Now I’m in discussions over the sale of ImaginePublishing.com and it seems fitting to include ImagineDistribution.com as well, so until that’s all decided there’s no real point to take on the work that might need to be undone. If the sale doesn’t materialize at this time, I’ll turn ImaginePublishing.com into a blog to help people with all the issues of publishing and self-publishing… I’m thinking about a series on why you should consider your own publishing house.
Anyway, it’s time to change the paper and time to run some errands. Thanks for listening.
Ever since I heard about this I wanted to see the video. What a great move to cut off the flak that our PM is stiff. I mean, sure he’s stiff, but his wife isn’t and rumour has it this is her doing. Can’t help thinking they both saw the political benefits of showing him as an actual person. It’s sad the mainstream media in Canada ignores what they can’t spin.
Last time I tried posting from the iPhone I had no save button… Flaky app. I logged in today as I’m waiting for the kids… Wait… They’re waiting for me… Better go be responsible.
Done.
Just figured out why I couldn’t post last time. The app actually makes sense. Now all I need is waiting time to post.
Don’t have much waiting time. With a book to write, seminars to prep, and a Saturday night service to organize, it’s may be tough to see I’m simplifying but I really am.
“Focus” is the new word for this umbrea… That and “no zatmat”
We had a prophecy from our pastor yesterday that got me excited… “change is coming, but its not coming how you expect it”
I don’t know why that made me excited. I’ve been planning a lot… books, blogs, businesses, seminars… usually I’m not so quick to say “Here God, take them all away.” I’m just being honest here. This is my blog to rant.
Usually it’s been a fight until I give up and He gives me a new way to look at things. Today I’m saying “Take it all, I don’t want to have anything you don’t want me to have.”
Even though He’s connected me with amazing people that can do the things I can’t to do the things I want, I don’t really own anything that I’m doing now to care if it doesn’t get done they way I’ve planned it.
Does that make sense? I think it does to me.
I don’t know what the surprise is going to be, but I’m ready for it. Bring it on. In the meantime, I’ll carry on doing what I have peace about doing.
We’re teaching “Ministering with Expectancy” in the fall. We’ve been given the go ahead to start a Saturday night service in October. I know I need to finish “How to Hope at the End of the Rope” And I’m putting together what I’ve written over the past 5 years into blog posts to write on 5 blogs for the rest of 2009. Here’s the details for that. I’m starting the week of Sept 14.
Hi, I’m Trevor Lund. As a writer I’m known online as RevTrev. I write a number of blogs, short stories, novels, educational material and web copy… oh yah, I love to tweet. I’m happy to talk to you about writing a guest blog or articles for your website.
I post 3 times a week and an email is sent out every Monday AM
It deals with applicable inspiration of life in the spirit. Basically I focus on “How-to” keep in step with the Spirit. If you sign up for weekly emails from the blog posts, you can download a copy of “Life Above the Negativity – from 10 minutes a day”

Streams of Consciousness is the blog of RevTrev.com with thoughts and insights from the day-to-day of everyday. It’s more drawn out than my twitter feed, but not as polished as Drink From the Deep. or Empowering Inspiration.
It’s a place for me to share my many thoughts on many things… you may not find it interesting, but as of today I can do it all from my iPhone.
I post 2 times a week and an email is sent out every Thurs AM
Honest and honoring – I’m often asked to review books, DVD’s, web applications, and informational products. I love doing it as it makes me a better writer and usually gets me some amazing free products. Sign up for the weekly emails and download a copy of “How to Judge and Not Be A Jerk” – it’s great for passing along to people who – well- are being jerks.
I post 3 times a week and an email is sent out every Tuesday AM.
I have many years developing websites and everything I’ve learned comes from mistakes I’ve made. I’ll give you tips for Joomla and Wordpress, SEO and SEM as well as Social Marketing on Facebook and Twitter. Sign up for weekly emails and download a copy of “Follow Me As I Follow Christ – a blueprint for Kingdom Influence” with all my secrets for getting and connecting with so many great followers on Twitter. I could sell this book for $97$49 $29.99 and it would be well worth it. Hey, why not give it away to people who’ll grow in influence and tweet about it for me?
I post 3 times a week and an email is sent out every Thursday AM.
Having self-published many times and having helped many others do the same, I’m excited with The Book Coach to share tips on writing, editing, formatting, and marketing. I may even get around to writing about agents and traditional publishers… especially once I get picked up by a great one. Sign up for the weekly emails and download a copy of “Book Marketing For the Rest of Us” with tips to sell every book you print.
I’m waiting for an appointment, trying to be patient. I’ve outline the rest of my book – that started out as a booklet – until Karen read it and said “teach people how to hope.”
So I rewrote it and realized, even with everthing I leftout, it would make a 200 page booklet. So I’m about to have another book.
It’s too much info for a sermon, so it’ll be at least one seminars, maybe three. Did I forget the title? It’s “How to Hope at the end of The Rope”
I was in the shower just a few minutes ago and I started thinking about what it means to be a Father… well actually I was thinking about a friend asking me about my opinion on what GPS to get for geocaching. I think I came to that thought because some of the wounds from my first geocaching expedition – which I didn’t know was going to happen and I was totally unprepared for anything but a casual stroll – started to sting in as the soap and water interacted with them.
I told my friend I had no opinion on what GPS to get. We went with a friend. Once. I as I said it was spontaneous. Sure, I downloaded an app for my iPhone, but I still haven’t figured out how to download a local listing from geocaching.com. They give a video, but I was with my wife’s family for lunch and it didn’t seem like watching a video was the appropriate thing do to. So I don’t know much about geocaching.
I don’t know much about finding things either. I’m going to be honest here – I have two boxes in my brain. One is common to man – as opposed to women, this really makes us different – let’s call it the “nothing” box. We could spiritualize it and call it meditation or soaking, but really all it is the ability to sit still and link – literally – about well, nothing.
It’s not a scam. We’re not covering up anything. As men we can easily think about nothing. It’s how we relax. It’s great to unwind. It’s not fantasy, it’s not escapism. It’s “nothing.”
But I have another box in my brain and that one is constantly thinking. I spend most of my time hear. Right now I’m thinking about 4 websites to create or update, 3 booklets, 2 novels to write and a screenplay to pitch. This is my “Creative Box” Sunday mornings seem to be when the creativity juices bubble up. I often dream up a new project or find solutions for problems I stopped at with other projects while I’m in the hot tub.
Our hot tub! It’s either got a leak or evaporating rapidly. I think I remember it happening once before when the lid wasn’t sealed and I wasn’t in it for a while to see it decrease. I’ll give it a couple of days to see if it gets noticeably lower. I’ve got to to change some deck boards anyway, so maybe I can rip it out. I’ll need to get someone to haul it away…
…why am I considering geocaching? I can’t find anything. I can look for something I know is in the fridge and if I’m in my creative box, I won’t see it or find it. I don’t know why they let people like me drive – cell phones nothing – I wrote the intro to a new booklet on the way out to pick up my daughter from horse riding yesterday, sure I could have used the voice recorder on the iPhone, but there’s something about pen to paper.
It’s the kids. That’s why I want to get into geocaching. My daughter can find just about anything. My son is pretty good at it to. I remember Taya was about 2 1/2 when she started finding things for me, my life got so much better. Getting stuff for Kaz became Daddy-daughter time and it cut down on my search time – as you can imagine, it takes me a while to remember what I’m looking for when I’m in the creative box.
Kian – when he’s board at church – looks for gold flecks and gems. He’s found some in places we’ve been — I have a stash in my Bible.
So kids are great for many reasons – most of which you’ll never hear in today’s sermon.
I’ve decided to make use of my creative box and take this blog back to it’s original purpose – my streams of consciousness. You won’t get auto posts from my other blogs, you may still get posts from YouTube – I can’t remember how I set up that feature but boy is it cool, you won’t get daily twitter updates.. I was going to do weekly, but I get overwhelmed with the posts, so why should I pass it on to you?
And if I get my act together, Sunday seems like a great time to post.
Happy Father’s Day dad’s. Make sure you thank the mother of your kids for making you one.
