4 day weekends - more time to reflect and be random

I continue to learn and appreciate my life more and more. I'm try to go one step at a time - right foot then left foot.  Trying to multitask drives me nuts...I become the guy who trips on the dance floor because his feet get tangled up.

If I really don't want to do something, I will put it off as long as possible (i.e. grading essays).  I'll even do dishes and laundry over whatever it is.  That's unacceptable. 

The weather has been amazing.  I dislike the winter so it's been extremely mild and I like it that way.

I really need to stop Facebook and Twitter for a while.  It's not an effective usage of my time.  Going to force myself to stop very soon.

I really enjoy my small group.  Chances to be vulnerable and grow in Christ...what I continually yearn. I'm also in a men's devotional group and I'm learning from wiser, more mature men.  Blessings abound.


I like mellow music more than I thought.  I still like singers who can bring it (old school Whitney Houston, MJ, Mac Powell from Third Day, Celine Dion...yes, one doesn't quite fit but they all can bring it).  Singing out loud and just letting go to God is what I love to do at church.  It's just me and Him for worship on Sundays. 


Today is day 205 of 366...shouldn't be keeping up this way but quotes and Bible verses keep coming into this direction.

God's grace is absolutely amazing...one day I'll go back to coherent thought processes for a fuller entry but until then stream of consciousness it is. 

Peace out and God bless.

More random thoughts - February

I really need to post more. 

- I'm really really busy but yet I am the worst procrastinator.  It's like I do this on purpose to torture myself.

- I hate grading essays (290 to grade in one week - 105 done)...I'm going to grading a ton more over the next 8 weeks.  I hate essays.

- I got some great news a few days ago and hopefully it'll become amazing news in April.  I'll wait to keep you posted if it becomes amazing so for now, you'll have to wait unless you talk to me personally.  I just don't want to jinx myself...it's one of those accomplishments that goes to near the top of my bucket list if I can accomplish it.  I will share with everyone if it happens.

- I am on day 199 of 366 for one of my vows.  One of the toughest times I've had to go through but God's kept me going strong.  I probably should stop keeping track of the days and let it go to God though.

- Lent is coming up.  I know what I'm going to give up.  What will you give to God and "sacrifice"?

- Four day weekend is coming up.  I'm not sure what I'm going to do with that time...oh yeah, sleep.

On that note, stay strong and until next time, God bless.
