I read something tonight that’s stirred me:

Either you have good habits or you have bad but you can’t say you don’t have any. No habits are still habits.

Think of the habits you don’t realize you have. For me:
• Not working out consistently
• Staying up too late
• Inconsistently reading/praying
• Not calling my friends enough
• Avoiding phone messages

It seems the list could go on. What are nonhabit habits?

After a much needed departure from her first job as a nurse practioner, my lovely, Kristy, has accepted a new position at a local doctors office and starts on February 20. Funny thing is, she’s working for our infertility specialist.

I SO proud of her for sticking it out at the last place of employment. But I am more proud that she was persistent and deliberate about finding employment with this new office. The best part of it is, the man she is going to work for absolutely loves his job and his staff. It’s all in the details. Needless to say, I’m excited for her and this new season.

Congratulations baby. You make a husband proud!

Does anybody else have this problem—you spend an hour or so at your favorite bookstore, pick up a bunch of books that seem just perfect for your current interests and then you realize that you haven’t read the last books you bought with the same intentions? I don’t know about you, but I’m building quite the library with this present mentality. Why bother? I guess i feel like the potential to learn is there…if I’d only sit down and read more books. Maybe I need to find a book about reading more books? Or maybe it’s simply about discipline, being deliberate or quite possibly, staying accountable with my time?

I’ve heard that you can only spend a dollar once. Although that is true, you can take a dollar, spend (invest) it and get more back. Not so with time, once it’s gone, it’s gone forever. Getting time back will never happen. So if I’m to hold a high level of accountability with my money, it seems that I should hold a higher standard regarding my time. Maybe that’s why they say that time is money?

What do you think?

At the recent Presidential Prayer Breakfast, Bono recalled a conversation he had once:

“stop asking God to bless what you’re doing. Get involved in what God is doing—because it’s already blessed.”

By no means is this new, but it’s a dang good reminder.

After 7 LONG days of being a man without the comfort of his soulmate, I am no longer left wanting: she’s home. Welcome back baby. You’re beautiful, it’s true!

I had coffee with a good friend tonight, Joshua Smith. Back in August he took the leap into the freelance society and has been working his fingers to the bone nonstop since. He’s amazing and you should know about him. Check out his work at http://www.hydro74.com. You won’t be disappointed.

Mark my words, this girl is going to be HUGE!

My sister has jumped into the blog world. Everybody, welcome Charysse Hesse. YEAH YEA YA YAHOO.

So no one cares, but if it affects you as much as me, then you would.

Out of sheer curiousity, I typed in “allergy” in google today. The first link was Pollen.com. On the front page it gives that 5 best and worst cities affected by pollen today. Yeah, Orlando, FL was the number one WORST city today. Need I say more? Allergies are KICKING MY BUTT!

I don’t know what’s happening down here in Orlando, but my butt has been kicked by allergies this season. Clariton-D is amazing, but only the 12-hour. 24-hour just isn’t working for me.
