I confess that I\u2019m ambivalent, if not a little bit cranky about the coming of Spring. It feels like winter was just getting going and Spring had to come a long and ruin everything. 25-30 inches of snow in a month? We had it great there for awhile.<\/p>\n
I confess that I\u2019m trying to have a good attitude about spring this year, but I can already feel myself gearing up to hear phrases like, \u201cIt\u2019s not the heat, it\u2019s the humidity.\u201d Can I just say\u2026 it\u2019s the heat\u2026 the heat makes the humidity possible. Nobody worries about the humidity in January. January is awesome. Another seasonal favorite is \u201ca new record high for today,\u201d or \u201chottest August on record.\u201d Then there\u2019s my personal favorite, \u201cMy allergies are killing me.\u201d I use that one a lot. To all of you spring lovers, I\u2019m trying my best to get with the program this year. I just want to remind you that Spring and summer will mean: sneezing, bees, wasps, insects smashing on your windshield, early morning bird noises, road construction, swimsuits, snakes on the running trail,\u00a0mosquitoes, mowing the grass (over and over and over), moss covering over every little pond, no more jackets (jackets are cool), and flop sweat\u2026 Just a little something to think about.<\/p>\n
I confess that I my perfect Franken-meal would be: Cheeseburger from 5 Guys, french fries from Oklahoma Joe\u2019s, beans from Jack Stack, Cherry-limeaid from Sonic, and a homemade brownie sundae. I confess that I always keep a franken-meal in mind and update it when I find a better component.<\/p>\n
I confess that I\u2019m almost finished with the Alister McGrath biography of C.S. Lewis. It\u2019s been a really fun read \u2013 I\u2019ll blog about it soon.<\/p>\n
I confess that I have a ton of reading to do to get ready for my summer preaching schedule.<\/p>\n
I confess that every six months or so I have to redo my personal schedule and the way I organize my time. This is partly because I\u2019m a part of a family and schedules change. But I\u2019m always chasing productivity and it seems like I have to constantly shift my schedule in order to keep from falling into an unproductive rut.<\/p>\n
I confess that I cleaned off my computer desktop this morning and I it feels pretty good, even though it exposed a serious problem that I will have to address sooner or later. I need to completely reorganize my electronic filing system. Th old one no longer makes any sense. It was built over a decade ago & I think it\u2019s time to re-imagine it and completely rework my computer organizational structure. I confess that this task is so daunting that I will probably never do it. First, it would take a lot of planning. Second, it would take a TON of time, most of it spent opening thousands of antiquated files to see what\u2019s in them so I don\u2019t jettison anything important. Third, I have this fear that I won\u2019t be able to navigate the new system & I\u2019ll lose stuff.<\/p>\n
I confess that I\u2019m bummed to have missed the Wheaton Theology Conference this past week. I confess that I\u2019m so grateful to Wheaton for always placing their talks online. For a pastor w\/a crazy schedule and a low budget, it\u2019s a gift.<\/p>\n
I confess that I\u2019m praying for Rick Warren and his family today. I confess that I\u2019m also praying for David Kuo\u2019s family, and am grateful for all of the work he did writing over the past few years.<\/p>\n
Okay friends! I make my confession, now it\u2019s time for you to make yours. Specifically I\u2019m looking for reasons to love spring and summer, or at least your perfect franken-meal.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
