Chase was busy last night unlocking and ”jail-breaking” my iPhone so he could advertize it on EBay. It is just a little bit fun to see him experience computer challenges. He only groaned about three or four times in the three hours it took him to get the process to work. I am not sure if he was able to fully accomplish the goal he set out to accomplish but he gave it a good effort last night.
He will be off from school today and he and his sister’s are talking about putting in more job applications. I am expecting him and Mama to order their phones today so the process can begin to move to a new carrier.
On the way to work this morning I noticed the gas prices had gone up almost twenty cents overnight. That’s staggering. It will hurt me and Mama but it will cripple Grandma and Grandpa. They have very little money for groceries – which we supplement. They have no money for gas. My expectations are that it is going to get much higher. With the entire Middle East and much of the Far East in conflict it is difficult to say how bad it may get, but it is almost certain that the higher price of oil will begin to weigh heavily on our economy.
For those who have money, it will be a bonanza; just like it was several years ago when housing prices tumbled as the economy tanked. For those who are over obligated in their finances it could be a breaking point…again. Mama and I survived the last big downturn but we did it by taking a terrible loss on our house and adopting some pretty austere spending measures. We are better positioned to absorb the impact of another economic downturn, but we are nowhere near ready for anything economically severe.
God is still in control.
In light of the economic woes of the world today it seems antithetical to bring this up, but Mama is always ready to spend money. We have been looking at property that would allow us to set up a mini-farm. We have been looking everywhere but here, which I thought was unfair considering we do not know what the next months will bring. So, Mama found two pieces of property to look at here in Amarillo.
I am going to take off Monday and find someone to do our 2010 taxes. In conjunction with that, Mama is going to set up an appointment with a local realtor to look at the two properties. She and Grandpa are very excited; me, not so much. I keep trying to find way not to spend money but I seem to be an army of one on that battlefield.
I am praying my boss gives me a truck so I do not have to pay for the gas to commute from Amarillo to Borger with the prices going up as they are.
God knows.

Planting and planning
Mama and I finally planted our blueberry plants yesterday evening after I got home. Victoria was making dinner and it seemed a waste to let them sit in their shipping packages any longer. I expect we will get a couple more plants this weekend. Mama wants to plant some blackberry and black raspberry in the same way we did the blueberries and I don’t see that being a problem unless we do not move from Amarillo this year. Then blackberry plants could be problematic to care for over the winter.
In my CPR training the other day the instructor said something I would like to pass on. He said he has never been one to strongly resist change. Many changes we are required to adopt are actually beneficial in the long run and those that are not are rarely harmful, only uncomfortable. He said, ‘Healthy things grow and growing things change. If you are not changing – hopefully for the better – then you are not growing. If you are not growing you might not be too healthy either.”
On one of the programs we were watching yesterday before church, a guest financial expert suggested that a person should have at least six months of cash (equal to your expenses over those six months) set aside for the coming economic unrest. Mama asked me if we did. I happily assured her that I had about six days worth of cash set aside but not quite enough for six months of expenses. She asked me how much that would be and when I told her she almost fell over.
I am not sure with the demands on my income and the demands of those who count on my income if I could ever set aside that much cash without it causing a family feud. I keep my savings accounts guarded from all but Mama because there is always a “need” for all the money I am willing to spend. In almost thirty years of supporting two or more families it is amazing how that need continues to grow – closely matching my income at any point in time.
Mama is talking about stockpiling food and I suppose it is a good idea but the thought of buying cases of corn, green beans and fruit cocktail does not appeal to me. The thought of six months worth of dehydrated food sitting in the garage is even less appealing. As we begin to pray and prepare I know the Lord will give us wisdom as I seek to follow Him.
In my obedience He promised to take care of us. I trust Him.

More phone news, missing NJ?
The iPhone is dead. Long live Maggie’s old clunker phone. Actually, before the kids bought me the iPhone, I was carrying the phone Mama has had for the past year or more. It is the red color version of the same phone that Maggie just upgraded from. Her phone (mine now) is green. I have to admit that Maggie’s is in better shape than Mama’s so it should do for a while; at least until we decide what to do.
I miss the convenience of the iPhone but we lived without it for a long time and I think it was time to give it up. I calculated that I have spent somewhere in the neighborhood of $1000 on the data plan over the last two years. I’m pretty sure I did not get that much worth out of it, but there are many who would argue against that.
As we were in the AT&T store last night to get this taken care of I overheard a salesman “recommending” the iPhone to a customer because it was only $50. This guy did not need an iPhone but it sounded like a good deal to him – until the salesman recommended the most expensive data plan, the largest volume of minutes and unlimited text. After the $150 rebate ($265 up front) his bill would only be about $150 per month.
The poor confuse man looked at the salesman and asked, “Can’t I just get a phone?” “Sure. But this can help you multitask, internet, phone, e-mail, IM, Facebook, the works.” Listen,” the customer explained, “My idea of multitasking was listening to the radio while I was driving here. Can’t I just get a phone?” I did not hear the end of the discussion, but I hope he left with what he wanted rather than a $3600 contract (two years at $150/month).
Mama and Chase are still debating what to do; stay with AT&T, go to Sprint, or Virgin Mobile or some other carrier. The choice of phones, plans and providers is a little overwhelming – especially interpreting the fine print. Chase still hopes for a data plan with whatever he gets. I am not sure I want to give him that option since he is somewhat disconnected from us anyway – it’s that age. He has promised numerous times to pay for his phone when he gets a job. I told him, with that line of reasoning, he needs to work in the Congress.
Chase and Mama are both missing New Jersey pretty badly. I will not speculate as to what Chase misses, it would only embarrass him. Mama misses the children we constantly had around us. But I think what she misses more are the nine-year old relationships, our friend and our routines. I miss the music program at our church there. It is sadly lacking in our church here. I do not miss the job I had there.
It is a pleasure to be off of shift work.

Training, planning, dreaming
I have back to back training this morning. I go from a half hour training with my boss to a four hour training with a small group in CPR and First Aid. Wrapped up in the middle of that training is a conference call that I had agreed to participate in. Not every morning is this busy, but it is not unusual. In the first four months of this year I am scheduled for eight different classroom training exercises; everything from CPR to safety to Excel. But it will accomplish my goals for the year pretty quickly.
I’m hoping my boss is up to beginning our twelve week training. It has been on hold for the past six weeks due to lack of training materials, scheduling problems and weather. The sooner we begin, the sooner we can get this done, but we are not off to a very good start; maybe the finish will make up for it.
Mama and I have been praying for Cori and Nate in the decision they are making about whether to stay where they are or move. I remember the same decision being made in our home many years ago. We were sure the Lord was pleased with our desire to live in West Virginia. We had a good church there and family. So we went. We ended up moving back to Texas for a few years because my timing was off but we eventually got it right and lived there on our farm for a decade before we came back to Texas.
I have learned since then that God is in no hurry. More times than not He has us wait on Him and that is as it should be because we are, more often than not, less prepared than we think we are. For the last several moves, I have been ready several years ahead of the move and have had to spend many hours in prayer to keep my heart and mind focused on the task at hand while we waited.
God never expects us to leave undone what He has us doing while He prepares the next assignment. In my life, I have not always been sure if the move I was planning was God’s desire for our lives or mine so after our false start in West Virginia I have tried to be very careful. As our family grew, my mistakes affected more and more persons. So I understand the concerns Nate and Cori have. Being faithful where we are (prayerfully patient) while we seek God’s direction (obedient in service) always brings its own reward.
It never hurts to dream, but a good plan will always take you further than the sweetest dream. I have watched as near family dreamed big dreams yet made no attempt to bring them into fruition. Later they felt wounded by disappointment, discouraged that nothing had happened.
I love to hear Mama’s dreams. I love even more to make them come true. Fortunately, most of her dreams have been small and immediate. The dream of having a farm again, that will take some serious planning because it is bigger than both of our abilities to make it happen.
It is not, however, bigger than God.

Downgrading, military service, starting small
It has proved more difficult than I had thought to downgrade my cell phone contract. I may have found the right phone, but instead of signing a two year contract, Chase has talked me into getting a used or cheap phone and maintaining the current contract without the data plan. Putting that idea into action has been the difficult part. It is hard to get anyone to help with that idea.
I would like to get the Rugby or similar phone, but I am hesitant to purchase it off E-bay. I do not want to spend the extra cash to buy a Go Phone in the interim, but it may be the only way – other that using Maggie’s discarded phone for a few weeks while we pull this all together.
I still have my company phone. I am not thrilled with the Blackberry, but it is hard to beat free. Why do I bother to keep the AT&T contract at all? Because it would cost Victoria and Brittany a fortune if they are not under my contract with their AT&T accounts. Not necessarily a good way to go about this but for the next two years I am stuck.
Andrew Kim spent the weekend with us. He flies out this morning and Brittany will head back to Hot Springs shortly after seeing him off. He is in the Air Force Academy and is doing very well. I think he had a little more than two years left. He and Brittany are interested in each other so we will see how that works out in the months to come. There is no hurry since both of them have at least two more years to complete a degree.
The fact that I have two daughters interested in military recruits is interesting. As Maggie learns how to conform to the demands on Aaron’s life, she and Brittany may find a lot of common ground in their romantic relationships. Maggie is only beginning to understand the trials of working as a third part with the military as she and Aaron attempt to set a date for their wedding. I have a feeling that it will all come together pretty fast once they reach that agreement.
As I reinforced with Maggie, in Andrew’s presence, the fact that she would have to find out where she is allowed to fit into Aaron’s life, Brittany got to hear the entire discussion. Andrew verified to both girls that I was pretty close in my assessment. I do not bring it up to discourage them but to make them aware that, at least for the time of their service, these young men will be more answerable to the military than to their spouse.
Mama and I bought two blueberry plants the other day. It is a start to the blueberry patch we want to have on the farm. Granted, it is a small start, but it is a start. Besides, both of us like to grow things and plants that produce a product or provide a service are always welcome whether on a patio or in the field.
It’s the little things that keep a dream alive.

Road hazards, company celebration, paring back
I took the camera with me this morning to see if I could get a picture of a windmill with the moon behind it. The moon has been low on the horizon and extremely bright for the past few mornings. I did stop to try one picture but without a tripod I do not think it will turn out very well. I got a picture of a train on the horizon with the moon in the background. I think it turned out a little better.
As I was driving out of Panhandle, TX this morning I hit a pretty big skunk. There was no way to avoid it. Believe me, I wish I could have but my headlights caught him when he was so close that I would have wrecked the car to try and swerve around him. I felt bad most of the way to work. Everyone else will feel bad for most of the week – maybe longer.
I am going to wash the car this morning as soon as I get the chance, but since I ran over him with the driver’s side tires, I am not sure how much good it will do. I have heard that tomato juice can remove the odor, but I don’t think there is a tomato juice nozzle at the carwash. This is Texas, so you never know. The really bad part is that Grandpa wanted to work on Victoria’s car this coming week.
Today is a celebration at work. The company will announce the bonus we are receiving for 2010. It is never a large amount of money, but it is a big deal for management. Most of the money will go to Maggie and Aaron for their wedding – perfect timing. The rest, after the tithe, will go to pay taxes I will owe due to the move. There will be a big announcement and a ton of cookies and cupcakes to mark the moment. “How Sweet it is to be in the Lower 48” is the theme. The Lower 48 is the business unit I am in now and it is very different from working the refinery; pleasantly different.
I told Mama and the kids last night that I will be giving up my iPhone. There are a number of reasons but the main one is that we cannot maintain the current lifestyle and realistically approach the idea of buying a farm. Many things will have to go. I explained that whatever is not a necessity will have to be sacrificed to make the dream come true. Cell phone contracts may actually be a necessity in our society today, but a $50/month data plan is not.
The YMCA membership will have to go as will any plans to upgrade the vehicles. We talked about Direct TV but I met some pretty strong resistance there; it turns out that may be a necessity also. The internet, because of my business needs, will have to stay on our bills list also.
But just as what is happening in our nation today, cutting spending alone will not make up the difference. I have to aggressively pay off all outstanding debts, maintain payments on necessities, pare back to a minimum on all service contracts I am now obligated to, and avoid any contractual obligations on future earnings: no new loans or contracts. That’s a hard path to walk in our society today.
There is no looming multi-level marketing business success I am praying will stem the flood. There is no excessive raise expected in my salary. I will not ask Mama to get a job. What is coming in will not change. We must simply fill the hole we have dug with the dirt we dug from it. There is a consolation. Every time I have dug a hole and used the dirt I have removed from the hole to refill it, there was always too much dirt to go back in and it left a little heap over what was once a hole in the ground.
Maybe it will end up that way in our finance too.

Seth is working, Chase is wanting
Seth really worked yesterday. We sent Chase over to check on him about 6 p.m. and he was told that Seth would be there until at least 9 p.m. Chase told us Seth was back on the grill cooking up a storm. I can only imagine it to be a sharp learning curve for him – but he has a job. I am just not sure I would have wanted the first burger he cooked. God bless the person who actually got it!
Chase is chomping at the bit to get a job. He is hoping to hear today from one or more of the places where he put in applications. Since he has no school tomorrow, he is anxious to use the day to hunt for more prospects. I do wish him well, but I know it will be a hardship on Mama since she has to do all the running to make it happen before the job comes and afterward.
After blizzard conditions last week the temperatures are now over eighty degrees. This morning the temperature was 55F. I could have left the plants out on the patio overnight but with the extremes of the area I was afraid to trust the predictions of the National Weather Service – even though their local office is here at the Amarillo airport.
I have stirred up quite a bit of anxiousness here at work by asking for permissions people are afraid to grant to me. I have been commissioned to take on the task of reorganizing the files on the main server for the group here in Borger. The IT group is thrilled that someone is going to look into the mess. People who have all their work files (their life’s work) on that server are less enthusiastic.
I will have to notify the entire group to begin wearing their steel toed shoes to work because to get this done I will have to step on quite a few toes. It is like being commissioned to go into someone’s garage, attic, workshop, and storage shed and choosing what they are allowed to keep, how much they are allowed to keep, where it will be stored and how it will be stored.
Most of us are comfortable with the mess we have made. We know where to find what we are looking for regardless of how it looks both in the physical world as well as in the electronic world. And for those who are less comfortable in the electronic world it is a scary thought that something they need access to will now be moved to suit someone else’s expectations.
The funny part of all of this is that I am among the least qualified to tackle this assignment but by right of the office I occupy, the task falls in my lap. I can only imagine that there will be plenty of oversight and countless suggestions to sort through. The good part of this is, since all of the material is in electronic format, what is done can easily be undone as long as I am careful, but someone has to start the process and I have been chosen.
This assignment ought to be fun.
