The photo scavenger hunt

Well, the photo scavenger hunt went off with nary a hitch last night. My team (the "epricots") really got into it and had a good time. My wife made up quite a few homemade treats to cap off the night and things went about as well as they could have. Here is the clue list we used (with answers) for the inside group:

Item #1:
I'm an organizer for papers and bills. Don't forget my rollers and rails! (filing cabinet)

Item #2:
  • It's like the North Pole in here. (freezer)
  • Isaiah 1:18
Item #3:
  • You can snuggle up near this on a cold night and read a good book. (fireplace)
  • Matthew 3:11
Item #4:
  • You will find me with four legs, but no hair. People may ride me for hours, but I don't go anywhere without needing to be tugged, jerked or turned on, I always manage to be ready for work. (desk)
  • Hebrews 1:3
Item #5:
  • Before me they used Morse Code. (telephone)
  • Philippians 3:14
Item #6:
  • What object has a KEY that opens no locks, has SPACE but no room, and you can ENTER, but not go in? (computer keyboard)
  • Revelation 20:1
Item #7:
  • On the building you open me up, and reach in your hand. (mail box)
  • 2 Corinthians 3:6
Item #8:
  • Show me when I was built. (year on side of building)
  • Daniel 9:1
Item #9:
  • Your ears “nerve” is used to describe this room. Show me as many "legs" as you possibly can. (auditorium)
  • Hebrews 10:25
Item #10:
  • I'm HIDDEN and out of plain view, made of steel, but I'm very important for HEIGHTS to reveal. (ladder in janitor's closet)
  • John 1:51
Item #11:
  • Could be a decision to go left or right or something with tines. (fork)
  • 2 Samuel 9:13
Item #12:
  • Hula? Hoola? Nope, not with this unbroken circle. (basketball hoop)
  • Luke 5:4-5
Item #13:
  • A portal to someplace else. (any door)
  • John 10:1
Item #14:
  • This is something you can really get into – just don't fill it. (baptismal)
  • Acts 2:38
Item #15:
  • Not a well, but close enough. (any drinking fountain)
  • John 4:7
BONUS PICTURE (let's see all team members'):
I am something that nothing is, but yet I have a name.
I am sometimes tall and sometimes short.
I join your talks; I join your sport, and I play in every game. (shadow)
Psalm 23:4-5

I can't take credit for most of these clues as they were put together by another leader I worked with. I think the Bible verses (again, suggested by my wife) were a nice touch to kind of point them in the right direction and show them different places in the Bible where they do not traditionally go. All in all worth doing and worth planning one for the next club year.

tightvnc keyboard mapping problem in Ubuntu 9.04

Image
I have been, off and on, having an issue with the keys on my keyboard mapping to the correct values when using the tightvnc client when paired with the vncserver vino in Ubuntu 9.04. I am not exactly sure what keyboard layout the client and server was expecting, but it seemed like every time I restarted the OS the keyboard mapping problem would come back and I would be at square one again. Well, I think I have found the workaround I was looking for . Hopefully this will help anyone else that is having this issue.

The manifestation of the "I" and the gift of self - Part 1

I am continuing my journey through Pope John Paul II's Theology of the Body and I had never realized how body-focused the 2nd and 3rd chapters of Genesis truly are.  But then it all makes so much more sense when it was brought to my attention that the body we have been given in a manifestation of me, or to put it another way, the "I". And it goes beyond that still. Not only does it reveal me, but my body also reveals, in no small measure, the image of God. That is not to say that God is made of flesh like me as is depicted in so many Renaissance paintings. The old man in the sky is nothing like the God as revealed in the Bible. However, the love that God is, the holiness that he is, the justice he is, the righteousness that he is...all of it is shown to the world through my body. In a very real way, my body allows for others, and for me, to participate in the mystery (the hiddenness) of the image of God. That is by design; from the beginning.  If God is revealed in nature...

Let me learn what I need to learn

In the “I don’t know what God is trying to produce in me…” portion of the blog: I work across (not with) an incredibly loud person. We are in cubes and he refuses to use a handset when he is in a conference call…or headphones. Everything is done via speaker phone. Maybe his handset is broken? I don’t know and am too timid (read “interested in keeping the peace”) to ask him. Of course he shouts into his speaker phone as well when he talks. Now he even refuses to use a keyboard. He has a speech recognition program that allows him to speak to the computer rather than type. Good for him! Now we can all hear “Comma…open parenthesis…close parenthesis…tab…tab...tab…” Was it my sin or my parents sin that relegated me to this placement in the office. We all know the answer to that but man…it sure feels like I am getting punished for something.
