So it’s been a while since my last post. Life’s been busy…that’s the only excuse I’ve got. Here are some highlights of life since my last post:

• I had the chance to eat lunch with and to get to know J.R. Lee, the pastor of a new church near my office. He’s got a vision for reaching the area and the not-the-normal-way-of-doing-things approach that could really make a difference.
• The world’s greatest grandfather turned 81. It’d be a privilege just to know him, but I get to be related to him. That’s pretty special.
• I rode my bike to work (11 miles each way). I’m going to try to do it regularly, weather (and temperature) permitting. We’ll see how that goes.
• My office’s “Biggest Loser” competition kicked off. My team: Shane, Travis, and me (coached/encouraged/scolded by Sarah). There’s prize money to be won (and bragging rights to be had). Pass the salad.
• I ate spinach pizza. I did it for the “Biggest Loser” competition and will never do it again. It was pretty bad.
• I’m playing church softball again. Man, that feels good. I’ve spent some time on first, some behind the plate, and some as designated hitter. That’s the way it goes being the new guy, and it’s fine by me. I’m just glad for a chance to play again. (That’s something not even Barry Bonds has…)

The rest of the month is sure to be busy as well, but I hope to get some more regular posting going on here. I know you’re on the edge of your seats.
