Lesson for Today

Never answer the classroom door to your custodial staff while saying, "...handsome lover."

Coolness from this morning and other stuff

1. While the story itself isn't cool, the fact that I have a visible diet partner is. One of our Care Group friends has been COMMANDED by the doc to diet. I told her that we're in this thing together.
2. I have taken the role as the co-leader of the Women's Bible Study ministry at church. That came out of the blue! Our study guru has stepped aside due to new callings outside and inside the church. I'm looking forward to meeting with other Women's Ministry leaders one night a month to develop and continue our Bible study events--not to mention an over-nighter weekend after next at a B&B that I've wanted to do for a long time!

Brian is conked out on the couch right now. He was up from 4:45 Thursday morning until 11:00+ Friday morning, working 28-1/2 hours straight. Nuts? Yes.

New Year's Resolutions, 2008

Need some accountability help. Let's see what happens in 2008.

1. The diet that I've been trying to stick to for two years WILL be stuck to this year. 50 need to go. Maybe a few more.
2. I will find my inner child again. Jody is an inspiration. Anyone who will sit in the middle of her kitchen floor, playing jax, has stuff together.
3. I have a mountain of books to be read; I will read.
4. I will experience the glory of God's creation.
5. While we're far from having credit trouble, debt will go, too. I'm sick of paying stuff month after month. We have a plan. Lord willing, by the end of the year, most of it will be gone.

This is it. I'm going to keep it brief. Any more and nothing will be accomplished.
