I confess that I am writing and posting my Monday Morning Confessional on Tuesday this week. I\u2019m hoping it makes for some really fresh and exciting new confessions\u2026 or maybe I\u2019m just running late.<\/p>\n
I confess that I turned in my manuscript for Shrink<\/em> to Zondervan this morning. I confess that this has me very nervous, because it hits at my insecurities as a writer \u2013 (you\u2019re not a real writer, you aren\u2019t smart enough to write books, this isn\u2019t original, good idea\/bad execution) \u2026 anyway, I\u2019m feeling vulnerable this morning because of it. It\u2019s funny, even at age 43 I still have to struggle just to show up and be myself instead of trying to work to get everyone to like me. I confess that the editor I\u2019m working with on this project is an obvious pro & helped to diffuse some of my anxiety this morning, for which I am grateful.<\/p>\n I confess that I don\u2019t want the U.S. to start dropping smart bombs on Syria. Seriously, can we just take a few years and not get into any new wars?<\/p>\n I confess that K-State got thwacked by North Dakota State. I was not up on their program but learned they\u2019ve won the national championship in their division two straight years, and they\u2019ve beaten the last for Div. 1 teams they\u2019ve faced including Minnesota, KU, Colorado State, and now K-State. We got free tickets to the game and had a blast right up until the final five minutes. My oldest son Nick spent the next day figuring out who his backup teams are going to be this year. I heard him mention Alabama\u2026 I\u2019m not happy about that.<\/p>\n I confess that at the end of this week Redemption Church turns ten years old. I can\u2019t believe it has been that long. Double digits. Amazing.<\/p>\n I confess that since the manuscript is done, it\u2019s time to actually start cleaning up the mess in my home office. I have no less that 45 books stacked up all around me, and haven\u2019t cleaned off my desk in two months.<\/p>\n I confess that I have not looked at my blog analytics in weeks. I\u2019m trying not to care about traffic and just think about content.<\/p>\n I confess that fall is in the air this morning it was about 65 at hour house when we woke up this morning. Fall rules.<\/p>\n Okay, that\u2019s all I\u2019ve got \u2013 your turn:<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" I confess that I am writing and posting my Monday Morning Confessional on Tuesday this week.
