I apologize for having a big fat Bag of Nothing this week. I thought that my faithful subscribers and readers might want to know what’s been rattling around in this empty head of mine.
- I’m really in iPhone envy right now. I’m locked into a Sprint contract with my church (and thankful they pay for it); but it is the only thing keeping me from dropping $199 for an iPhone. And then I read THIS. This has got to be the first of many cool running gadgets to come along for the iPhone.
- I work with my share of farmers here at the church. I’m aware of their need for rain, and how much it dictates the success of their lives and families. Since I’ve laid new sod 4 days ago at the new house, I feel I can somewhat relate. With an investment this big, I’m really not digging the dry stretch. Rain Baby, Rain!
- This is a MUST-READ for parents, siblings, and friends of the prodigal. It’s an excellent introduction to reaching out to the separated loved one in a relevant way.
- I got this new song for free at Starbucks yesterday, and I’m really thinking I need to get this entire album.
- VBS starts next Sunday Night. I’m not a big fan of Vacation Bible School. Really, I’m not… I am however a big fan of having 300+ kids show up at my church! Say a prayer that it doesn’t rain. (and yes I get the irony…)
- I’m loving the long-distance email support with my friends in the blogosphere; Kenny, Matt, and Sam.
- I’m not running a marathon. I’ve decided to scale back the running schedule, and just try to run for fun. Maybe get in a local 5k or 10k. It’s hard to explain, but my excuse is the time commitment required to continue was seriously cutting out the important stuff…and…I…wasn’t having any fun. It sucked! I had fun running less than 8 mile distances, but anything over that just wasn’t enjoyable in anyway to me. You can still follow my progress through the site, but you’ll notice the distances going down and down for a few weeks as I recover.
- I blew up and formatted my laptop this week. Totally erased everything, and started over with a fresh install. It’s so liberating!
- I’m embarrassed with how little I’ve been reading. Life has gotten faster, and my reading has gotten much, much, much slower.
- And finally I need to give credit to my friend Keith for the Bag of Nothing image above. If you don’t daily read his bag of nothing, then you’re missing out.
