First of all, my apologies to anyone who is waiting to read another entry.  I have been busy.  With me around during Christmas, I learned that I need to spend more time with my children.  Yes, I’ve become one of THOSE dads!  So, what I’ve been doing is trying to make sure that any spare time I have, I can read to them, sit with them, just anything I can do to connect.  So, any time I have had to blog, I have felt guilty and put the computer down in favor of having a child or two (or three or four) on my lap.  That being said.  I really don’t feel more pressed for time.  Funny how when you get your priorities straight, things seem to fall into place. 

Ang had another birthday.  She gets more beautiful every year (we have been “dating” since 1989).  I’m trying to help her grow.  I have been leaning on her heavily to get our practice up and running.  One of the things I have been trying to do is to make some of the decisions and take some of the load.  Darn this male tendency to try to “fix” things.  If I don’t involve her in the process, she feels left out.  Somehow I need to keep a balance to take some of her load without taking too much.  I’m learning. 

My NBA team Houston Rockets are striving to disappoint this season.  They seem to have a great collection of talent but things just aren’t seeming to gel.  I am glad to have found how to listen to the games through the online radio broadcast.  This will be Gene Peterson’s last year and I will be sad to see him go.  When I used to be able to catch the games on television, I would still often turn off the sound and listen to Gene’s broadcast.  I wish Tracy MacGrady would go to see Dr. Rakowski.  I know that Dr. Rakowski would help him recover A LOT faster from his injuries compared to the care he is currently getting.  What the team needs though is a HEART TRANSPLANT.  Sad to say that the team I knew loving as CLUTCH CITY, has resorted back to CHOKE CITY.  They used to play well when their backs were against the wall, even seemed to thrive in those situations.  Now, no lead is safe be it, 10, 20, or 30 points.  The other team’s coach can say: “We’re playing Houston.  We are never out of this game.”  Sad indeed.  I’m happy to say that my own team doesn’t have that problem anymore.  We are all of one common goal: To help as many people as we can achieve health.  It’s amazing how much it holds you back when someone on your team isn’t there for the same reason.  Thank you God for sending me people who love You, and Your people.  Please lead us so we can thrive in spreading health.
