last and this week
the weekend that was: entered the weekend running on fumes. not much in the tank with time or energy. i sat in meetings/training for about 26 hours last week and entered the weekend with the message about 10% done. take out 3 work days with the same volume of work needed to be done and you have a very anxious mike. needless to say, saturday night was frantic.
on my to-do list this week: working on the curb appeal series still, lots to study and figure out for this sunday yet. i have a backlog of emails I haven't looked at or responded to. my new laptop arrived (15" mac book pro) and i have apps to install and get everything working on it that is important to my work style. currently the usb drivers for my blackberry pearl are not working and no one on the discussion forums have answers. i have 5 book shelves being delivered this afternoon. pull out the screw driver and hammer and put them up. maybe levi can help me. dan is lending me his compactor, so maybe on friday i can compact the crusher gravel in the backyard in prep for paving stones.
procrastinating about: organizing the office, figuring out how filing will work in the new space, updating the church's web site.
books i’m in the midst of: humility, andy murray (still), i picked up a book off the shelf again that i bought about 5 years ago called "emergence: the connected lives of ants, brains, cities and software." its not about church ministry (although the name may suggest it is) its about science and making associations - it reads like an engineering text book. i just started archibald hart's new book, "thrilled to death." absolutely fascinating - again, archibald is helping me make sense of my complicated inner world.
down the road: got some stuff cooking with the bruins that i'm really excited about. we are carving out a concept called, "faith night" where one game has the theme of faith. our goal is to sell out and get the message of faith out to the 5K plus fans in the building.
music that seemed to catch my attention this past week: nazareth greatest hits (remember "turn on your receiver" - i'm in this kick of reconnecting with my high school music preferences, david crowder band
how i’m feeling about this week: relieved last week is in the books, but this week is slipping away fast, so peaceful and anticipitory (is that an emotion?)
