Playing with this new Nireblog... and of course it's also fun to play around with new Linuxes. At this point I've begun to mess around with a new very "alpha" distro called TinyMe, based on PcLinuxOS which is a pretty mature Linux distribution.

TinyMe is an attempt to approach very old (like most of mine) and low-power pcs and laptops with a Linux distro capable of being stripped down to... errr... you guessed it: tiny :)

So I'm learning about that one, but it's still not DSL which is what I'm using to access my Nireblog as I type. DSL Linux works fast, well and at least for me is very intuative, useful on 99% of the laptops and pcs I've tried it's varied releases on. TinyMe has good promise though, mainly in it's desire to offer a rather pretty looking yet fast and easily-configurable (losing or adding programs easily via the Web and it's TinyMe-specific repositories) distribution aimed at boxes that would otherwise be sitting in landfills.

I'm also adding some pictures here from Project 12 Orientation week and from Wendi and my trip this past weekend to Calvary Chapel Salt Lake City. Good people, great ministry and outreach. I did 2 shows and 3 church services, very kind reception from old and new friends as well.

Greetings from Project 12's (JPUSA-based Bible/Discipleship School) Orientation Week at Cornerstone Farm!

Wendi, myself and a number of our instructors are out with the new class for a week praying, learning and socializing together, beginning to bond for a good 10 months of spiritual growth. You can keep up with that via http://www.project12.us

It seems all the JPUSA websites are up again (they tell us, 90 percent solid... we hope so!).

I'm blessed in seeing so many old friends but also new faces and open hearts in more and more shows, both solo and GKB. This coming weekend Wendi and I travel to Calvary Chapel in Salt Lake City, Utah for a Sat. bikers concert and their 3 Sun. morning services. Good people and a great church.

I'm working further on demoing the new project (Fulton County Blues) as Roy and I have time. Roy and family are on vacation at the moment but we're getting more dates on the calendar for that.

It seems REZ Band is doing a concert at our Garden Room coffeehouse (920 W. Wilson Ave., Chicago) on Fri. October 10. Should be loud :)

Little by little we'll get a more shows posted for myself, GKB and speaking engagements on our agenda (one of the "glitches" on
glennkaiser.com right now is the difficulty of doing that) with all the important details.

Wendi and I continue to walk a good distance together each day, getting healthier (and if she gets much prettier I don't know if I'll let her out of the house :)

Thanks SO much for your prayers as we seek to serve the Lord Jesus and many people in many places!

Cyber-hugs,

So that old moon keeps shinin' does it not?

Some of you may know I love the celtic church and in fact very much agree with their love and reverence for the Lord revealing Himself via nature. Sun, moon, wind, rain, the soil, trees and all things created reflect His power, love and even presence.

Seems to me all too many people get caught in city life and have lost touch and connection with the true (one and only) God of all the elements of nature.

If you can see the moon, it's Jesus who gives you that ability- and put that amazing thing up in our sky in the first place!

I figure it won't hurt to try to blog a little each and very day... so here's the first "go".
