I was reminded last week just how persistant and naging enemies can be.  My enemy on this one particular day however, did not take on the form of a human being although it was quite terroristic in nature.  I was attempting to remedy and repair a water damage issue for a believer from church whose home was damaged when a sewer drain froze and created a leak while on a 4 week vacation in February.  I recognized the need to redirect some major waterlines and thus tapped into the old lines at a convenient spot to run new lines to the basement.  With the repairs made and new water supply lines run from the second story to the basement I recharged the water lines only to discover two pin holes in a location that before never presented an issue.  So, I turned the water off and decided to replace those lines all the way to the bath tub.  Again recharging the lines, I discovered there was now a pin-hole in one of the lines supplying the sink.  You can figure from there what I had to do next.  Even after that I went through the process again because of one short 3" tube connecting the new lines to a compression fitting on a valve.  My enemy was old copper lines with town water ladened with chemicals that eat through copper over time and often never show up intil that line is disturbed.  I was all day chasing down those little enemies.  Had I been more diligent to recognized my enemy at the onset I would have just replaced it all to begin with.  While reading 2 Samuel I recognized something interesting about David's life that never registered with me before but holds great significanc

I finally got around to updating the look of the NNED site.  So, I'm still using an already created theme but I modified it from it's original - adding flash to the banner image and tweaking some of the CSS parameters to fit better. I've still got some more tweaking to do but I think it looks a whole lot better.

A man named Jack was walking along a steep cliff one day when he accidentally got too close to the edge and fell. On the way down he grabbed a branch, which temporarily stopped his fall. He looked down and to his horror saw that the canyon fell straight down for more than a thousand feet. He couldn't hang onto the branch forever, and there was no way for him to climb up the steep wall of the cliff. So Jack began yelling for help, hoping that someone passing by would hear him and lower a rope or something. "HELP! HELP! Is anyone up there? HELP!"

He yelled for hours, but no one heard him. He was about to give up when he heard a voice.

"Jack, Jack. Can you hear me?"

"Yes, yes! I can hear you. I'm down here!"

"I can see you, Jack. Are you all right?"

"Yes, but . . . Who are you, and where are you?"

"I am the Lord, Jack. I'm everywhere."

"The Lord? You mean, GOD?"

"That's Me."

"God, please help me! I promise if You'll get me down from here, I'll stop sinning. I'll be a really good person. I'll serve You for the rest of my life."

"Easy on the promises, Jack. Let's just get you down from there; then we can talk. Now, here's what I want you to do. Listen carefully."

"I'll do anything, Lord. Just tell me what to do."

"Okay. Let go of the branch."

"What?"

I found this website - http://www.geeksandgod.com/ a website for geeks and God. They do a lot of tech stuff as well as a podcast - it's really well done.
