Blogger not working
So why am I posting? Blogger isn’t working right now with the new server, but as soon as it does, these posts will go live!
Get a free iPod? I don’t think so.
Perhaps you have heard of the company giving out ipods in exchange for referrals. It seems too good to be true… and it is. The truth is some people have gotten iPods off of their site, but others legitimately complete their requirements and are rejected. I will go into detail as to why this happens later, but for now, you should trust me when I tell you there is a good chance this company will make money off of you without ever sending you your iPod. A very good chance. I know, because I completed the requirements with valid referrals and I was placed on hold. I am holding out hope that they will actually come through, but if they don’t, you can trust that a lot more people will find out about my story than is worth the cost of an iPod to this company!
Strength of Faith
I’ve had some serious guilt lately. A lot of it well-deserved. In an effort to make sure I am not overbearing and rude about my faith, I have hidden it at times. I am not ashamed of my faith, but talking about it tends to go too much towards making sure someone understands I am not “that type” of Christian.
For those who know me, they don’t need an explanation any way. Our lives are the real witness with those we are in regular contact with. But when I have the casual conversation with someone… On the one hand, they don’t deserve to have faith shoved down their throat, and on the other hand, if they’re asking, I shouldn’t feel obligated to detail what I am not before telling about who I am. Clarification may be good, but I am too lop-sided on explaining what I am not.
On top of that, I know I do not have even a healthy fervor or passion for God right now. While God is in my awareness often, I know my focus too easily drifts and I can more easily shut off “healthy” feelings of guilt. It is one thing to have freedom in Christ, and it is quite another to pursue freedom at the expense of God. And I’m not taking that back, I do believe we can take things from God.
Fun with the hosting business
Things are finally starting to settle down for me. I just purchased my own server, as before I was reselling off of another server. My business has grown enough that it was time to take that plunge. It has motivated me to start some advertising campaigns, and I am hoping to pick up no less than ten hosting customers a month. I’ve probably sold a little over ten a year the past three years, because most of my business has been design and maintenance. Any way, check out the new website hosting and domain sales site. I just redesigned it… Okay, I am not quite finished with all the pages, but the home page is done… for the most part.
