I have been a bad blogger for months now. So much to say. I think I am gonna go the mind dump right and just throw it at the wall and see what sticks.
- Graduation party season is very hard in my profession. I put on weight and get sun burnt, what a tough life.
- Actually this is a pretty low-key year. We are graduating one of our last small classes and they spread their parties out pretty well.
- So far my favorite party food was Steff Fisher having Rita’s Italian Ice.
- Last week was one of the most refreshing, “productive” weeks of my year. I went into hiding from people and that is bad, but I knocked so many things off my to-do list.
- I am working on my teaching calendar for next year and I LOVE that type of long term planning. I will post it on here later.
- My life has finally slowed down. I went on a date with my wife and am catching up on yard work so that I don’t have to do any on Sunday or Monday-my day off.
- Here’s an example of life the last couple months. I had my first two funerals, two three teen pregnancies, and a fake suicide on top of “normal” ministry stuff.
- Having said that I wouldn’t want to do any other job. Spring is always crazy so now it is time to focus on slowing down.
- OB orientation is at our church in 13 days.
- We are getting a new roof in the next couple of weeks. I think we may pull the trigger on the kitchen updates too.
- Malachi had a fever of 102 todayL
- I wish I could give LeBron a hug today.
- I wish I could give LeBron a hug everyday though.
- Time to hit the YMCA hard this week.
- I enjoyed Kary Oberbrunner’s message today. He took the comedy up a notch and that is how I love communicators to work it.
- I am leading worship this week. I stole an idea from Travis Davenport and we are using the chords from Viva La Vida to lead into Your Grace is Enough.
- If I had cable I would watch the MTV Movie Awards tonight. I will just watch it online tomorrow.
- I am too lazy to link to half the stuff I am mentioning.
- I wish there was another good superhero movie coming out this summer.
- Malachi is really starting to like dancing. That is one of my goals as a dad, to make our fellowship of churches a little better at dancing through my offspring.
- Welp that is enough for now. I think in the next week or so I may have some cool posts coming around so stay tuned.
