Here’s a bunch of quick thoughts.  I realize I have been a little sporadic lately.  Here’s what’s been shaking.

• Cheryl’s 30 as of yesterday!  She’s finally old!  Yay (because now I don’t feel so old)!  Or Boo (because I know nobody really likes to grow up too much)!
• I can only say that because she is unbelievably hot and nobody would guess her age.  Heh.
• Been watching Mark Driscoll’s latest sermon series.  Interesting.  I’d like to say that I am only watching it to learn other pastor’s preaching techniques and approaches, but I was also curious how he’d tackle the material in front of thousands of parishioners.  Turns out he’s pretty deft, which would explain that whole massive-mega-multi-campus church thing.  (Watch for forthcoming post on this subject)
• Been a little discouraged lately, like things are a bit out of control.  The word “conflicted” doesn’t begin to describe how I am feeling.  On the bright side, guys can compartmentalize, so I do get to turn it off for huge parts of the day, but when I am not concentrating on anything else, the feeling comes back.  I know it is coming from having way too much on the go.  I have to knock some things out.
• Been reading Austin City Life’s “Partners” document.  That has challenged me to think about the system Phil uses at Community of Hope and think about what I would do differently.  Lots to be said there.  (Watch for forthcoming post on this subject.)
• Been down with bronchitis (viral) for almost a week now.  I don’t think I’ve ever had bronchitis before.  Today was the first day in 5 days I have been able to sing in the car to my iPod.  That was a long time without singing.

That’s it for my quick update.  More on a couple of these soon!
