Everytime that I say something negative, I will immediately do 15 burpees. I’ll get stronger one way or the other.

I’ve wanted to be an independent consultant for about 10 years. I got fired from my job, took a few days off and then signed up for elance.com. I haven’t looked back. It’s tough, but worth it.
It has been 60 hours since my last cigarette. I’ve been drinking a lot of green tea and eating a bunch of 85% dark chocolate. These are supposed to affect the same locations in the brain as nicotine.
So far so good.
About 6 weeks ago, I quit smoking. Since then, I have run a 5k and a 5 mile (8k) race. I hope to run an 8 mile (12.87km) race in February.
I have wanted to get a tattoo for quite a few years now, but have deferred to my wife who said ‘no’. This year, for Christmas, she gave me permission. Now to decide what it will portray.
My wife planned a trip to Wisconsin Dells for our 9 year anniversary. We went to Noah’s Ark, got some cheese, stayed in a kitsch motel.
Wonderful time away from real life.
About a month ago, I started reading this book (Developing a Vision for Ministry in the 21st Century) for a class I’m taking. I was blown away.
I started thinking about where my life is at and how little plan I have for it—that I needed to take control of my life. I started listing all the different roles that I play and what goals I had for each:- Personal
- Marriage
- Work
- Ministry
I couldn’t find any real goals for any of them!
So now I’m working to figure out what God’s got planned for me and start moving towards that.
Last year, I grew a bunch of flowers from seed. One of the flowers I grew were ‘Forget-me-not’s. They didn’t flower last year, but were beautiful this year.
My wife made the comment that she was really glad that I planted them. So I went out and got some more flowers for our flower garden and put ‘em in.
I’m hoping for a small little getaway right in my own yard where we can sit and listen to the birds and read.
