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.

First attempt at picture posting

I decided to try to upload a picture.  Ang was making this pastel drawing and I thought it might make an interesting first picture.  Did I mention that I am crazy in love with her?

What to do?

I’m trying to decide what kind of a blog I would like to make.  I have so many facets to my life that I truly don’t know where to start.  I could make it a health blog.  A dad blog would be fun too.  I suppose I will probably just write what’s on my mind.  My praise team “Reflections” led the middle worship service today.  I also sang “When God Ran” for the offertory in the middle and last service.  It was a good end to a sub-par week.

 I have decided that one of the rudest things you can do is make and appointment, no show and then not return calls to see what happened to you.  I know that may have come out of nowhere for the casual reader (don’t laugh, I may have one someday).  I’m really just venting.  In my office, we tend to have a pretty full schedule.  On Thursday we had a total of 9 no shows.  That is a total of an hour and a half of time I had for people who wanted to come in, but couldn’t because the time was booked.  Grrrrrrr

I’m proud of my family.  We took our family Christmas card photos at the Botanical Center.  I can’t wait to see how they come out.

Well, now you can see how my mind wanders.  We’ll see where it goes next time.

First Post

This will be my first blog attempt.  I don’t know how often I will post or how much fun it will be to read, but time will tell.  When I get some more time, I will tell a little about myself.
