I have a several friends who have regularly scheduled posts on their blogs. One that I like a lot is done by my friend Marko who does a regular "Monday Update" of his life. I'm going to copy his style here just this once as I work to figure out what the best way for me to do this will be.
The Weekend that was: Pretty simple actually. We had our staff Christmas party on Friday night and went out with our neighbors and good friends Keith and Meghan before that. I did not do much the rest of the weekend except do Christmas decorating and watching some football.
Where I am at the moment: Dallas TX in my office doing some projects before I head to our staff Christmas Lunch upstairs. It's an unusual lunch because the entertainment is always a bit interesting. Not sure who plans it but bless them for the work they do.
On my To Do list this week: General behind the scenes Youth Ministry stuff. Preparing for summer stuff and working on some necessary job descriptions, Code of Conduct forms and general stuff like that. I'm also needing to buy some new running shoes and get myself out there.
Procrastinating about: Putting together a couple proposals for some writing projects. I've had them sitting around for a while but can't seem to get to them. Also procrastinating figuring out the details for our vacation to Seattle.
Book I'm in the middle of: "Sustainable Youth Ministry" by Mark Devries. I'm about to buy 50 copies to hand to all of my staff and committees with the statement "Read this and then we'll talk."
Music that seems to catch my attention this past week: I'm back to Viva La Jova a mashup of Coldplay and Jay-Z. It caught my attention a couple weeks ago and is still sucking me in.
Next Trip: Heading to Seattle on December 16th with the family.
How I'm feeling about this week: Generally good thoughts but I also am feeling a little bit like a slug. I had some great days in the gym last week but have gone 5 days in a row without heading to the gym. Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays are always good workout days for me but the rest of the week I struggle to find my groove.
