Question of the day:
According to slipstick.com, “Office 2003 SP3 combines previously released fixes into one update so you only need to install one service pack if you have to reinstall Office 2003, not each service pack in succession”.

What am I supposed to do now?
From time to time, we all wonder what God’s will is for us. What does He expect me to do in this specific situation?
Do I take the new job? Say yes to a date? Which school is best? Is this the right person to marry? Do I speak up or keep quiet? Is this a situation I should get involved in? Am I supposed to be single or married? Do I say “yes” or “no” to the kids this time?
Wouldn’t it be neat if we had a direct line to God so we always knew the answers to our specific questions?? What if I told you that we do. That God doesn’t want us to wonder about what we should do. That God wants me to know his specific will for me!
That would be pretty cool, wouldn’t it?!?!?
That’s why I am so excited about our services this weekend! We’ll be kicking off our new study, “Frequently Asked Questions” by answering the question, “How can I know God’s will?”
Our services will include worship that’ll inspire you, a drama that’ll make you laugh, and a talk that’ll give you the ability to understand how you can know God’s will for your life. These will be really neat services that you won’t want to miss. Promise.
And why not bring friends with you to these services, as they too struggle with understanding God’s will for their lives. Your friends would benefit from the services.
So I’ll see you on Sunday...I mean, I’ll see you on Saturday or Sunday!! Yep, we kick-off our Saturday service this Saturday at 6 PM!! Keep praying!
I can’t wait till this weekend (can you tell I’m excited?!?!?!?!?)!!!
Pastor Rob
Bethel / The Church at Franklin Mills
With 3 weekend services: Saturday at 6 pm, and Sunday at 9:30 am & 11:15 am

Sorry for not keeping my site up to date; but, as you probably already know, life can be a bit time consuming.
On June 16th (just seven weeks ago), I was helping good friends move to West Virginia. I ended up breaking my left wrist when I tripped and fell. To make a long story short, the doctor in WV did a wonderful job setting the bone, I spent only six weeks in a cast, and I have gained 75 to 80 percent mobility this week. I know a miracle when I see one. From my understanding, it takes many more than seven weeks to recuperate from this type of break. Thank you, Jesus!!! And thanks to everyone who has kept me in their prayers and thoughts. I am already playing the guitar again!
Prayer requests:
- My friend Bill, who just lost his dad through sickness (for his whole family – Mom, Wife, Kids…)
- My mom (Peggy) is still looking for a decent job to pay the bills.
- My uncle Morris (legs and health), my aunt Peggy (overall health), and their daughter Donna (who is on chemotherapy)
Kevin Devin, of In the Trenches (ITT), has recently left the podcast to confront other pressing issues. We wish him and his family the best in all their endeavors.
Lastly, I want to thank you for stopping by, and I’d like to invite you to visit some of my other Internet hangouts:
1) Bethel's Myspace
2) My - Myspace (It’s private – I have to get to know you first)
…and Bobby, if you’re out there, give your old man a call, or e-mail if you’d like. I’ll always be there. – Dad.

Now I’ve seen everything. Two weeks ago one of our users got a blue screen on his laptop and came running to get me. When I got to his computer I rebooted and found the “C” drive not recognized; nothing was accessible. Knowing the hard-drive was shot; I quickly gave him a replacement desktop, took the laptop and swapped out the drive for a new one. The next day I started reloading the OS and apps he’d need and began to examine the dead drive.
After having a conversation with the user he realized that there was data on the drive that was extremely important. So, I used a USB to IDE/ATA & SATA cable to see if I could mount the drive on my own laptop. My Windows XP machine began to install the hardware but came to an abrupt halt. It fell short of mounting so I tried the same thing on three other computers; still no success. I finally had to break the news to the user that the data was most likely irretrievable.
Knowing the importance of this data to the user I started banging around many of the outrageous HDD story’s that I’ve heard with another tech. Figuring that the drive was toast, and having nothing more to lose, we decided on two possible solutions; banging it, which didn’t work, and placing it in a freezer for about an hour which also failed to get the drive going. Finally, I asked my boss who heads the IT department if he had any ideas; all he said was place the drive aside for two weeks and try mounting it then. He had some strange experience with hard drives coming to life after letting them sit for two weeks.
Two weeks to the day of its death, I tried mounting it to my laptop the exact same way I did two weeks before and presto. I heard the drive kick up speed and it began to mount. Immediately after the OS recognized the drive I didn’t waste any time and pulled the data off to my desktop. That totally rocks; I then pushed all the data from my laptop right to the user’s repaired computer over the network.
The moral of the story: Some things aren’t meant to be understood, just put to practice. There were many high-fives and cheers that day, and from what I can tell, sometimes it’s best to do nothing when you’re faced with a problem. You never know; things just might work out anyway.
