Lalala. What? Oh hey. Sup. Yeah, no, where have you been? I've been here just kinda chuggin' along. My blog? Oh. Yeah, no, I've been writin'. No, really. I been....ooooh, haha. Yeah, no, I guess I must have filed them under the non-public folder. Yeah, they're there, no doubt. Oh, you thought I just been slackin'? Pish. Not me.
Mkay, yeah, you're not buyin' it. S'okay, I'm not really sellin' it.
On the real, tho', I apologize for not writing recently. It's been way too long.
Silver lining! I have a ton of stuff to choose from that you might find interesting to hear about.
Starting with our trip to the Dallas aquarium and our reunion with family who live in Abilene. We met up in the mid-morning and went straight in, wasting no time at all. It had been a few years since the last time I had been there, and I didn't remember very much at all; at least not as far as the aquarium itself is concerned. I remember more, the family we were with on that outing, and I suspect it will be the part that stands out from this outing. I'm tellin' ya, seeing them and hanging out with them all through the day was UH-MAY-ZING. We went to Spaghetti Warehouse for lunch and I ate enough to be full for the next 48 hours. That part was pretty cool, too.
I've started practicing drums again. I've had a lot of instances where I've started practicing and did that for awhile, and then just let life get too busy for it. Well, the cool part about this week is that I've done a pretty good job of getting just an hour in; and make that hour the most productive I'd made it in awhile by only practicing things that I'm not able to do yet. That was pretty legit.
The last thing that was pretty cool this week was that I started to lift weights again. This week I had two workouts that ended up rather productive as well. I didn't injure my back because I was really careful about the weights that I used, making sure to not overdo it. I really had a lot of fun. The next three weeks will look about the same with these particular workouts. After that, I move on from the "break in" programs to the other programs that are intrinsically not as much fun.
The last, last thing that was pretty cool this week was that I read the bible more than I have in a long time. And I did it by changing just one tiny little thing in my daily routine. Whenever I had those 5 extra seconds that so easily present themselves: At the red light, in the drive thru, etc., instead of opening up Facebook on my phone, I opened up the YouVersion bible app. That is all I changed. That's it! And it made such a difference. I wasn't 100% successful, but what I found was that being even 10% successful made it to where I read from my bible app 10% more than I would have if I hadn't committed to it; which was a pretty cool thing to learn. Oh, and one cool thing about the app itself that I learned: Whenever it's opened up, the phone doesn't auto-lock. An implication to God's word being a lamp unto our feet that never burns out? Hmmm...perhaps.
Til next time!...On the public folder! Still not sellin' it, am I...
