mid-day friday post

i don't think that i have posted many mid-day posts, or at least it has been a long time.
this is my mid-day rant...i hate the preperation work. i hate sitting in the office trying to make sure that every thing is ready for the actual work that has to be done. i hate getting everything lined up, straightened out, double checked...i hate it all. your like...'dude, that's a lot of hate!' ...'yes it is!' , because that is how much i dis-like what i classify as "busy work".

i have a new account that is going on-line tomorrow. so, things have to be right and ready!

although i hate the prep work, it is absolutely necessary that it is done and done right. otherwise, when the "real work" happens...we have the potential to look like idiots. so, i procrastinate and i complain while i am doing the prep work.

i think this is my life most times. i am a big picture guy. get me at the front of the deal, center of the program and i am happy, comfortable and successful. or let me throw out 50 ideas of how things ought to be and cast a compelling vision. just don't ask me to dabble in the minutia of details. unfortunately or fortunately...depending on how you look at it, i am learning that true success happens because of the details. not in spite of them.

back to work! have a great halloween weekend!

i'm back...

well i'm back. not that i ever took an announced "leave" from blogging. i just gave it a rest for a week or so. i started this morning posting some thoughts as i read through the book of colossians over on the other site....
i am about 5 days into a fitness routine. 5 AM is early! but i have to say...what a great way to start the day. i am only doing 25-30 minutes on the treadmill and then some free weights. i try to get done by 6-6:15. that way i can get home and spend some time praying, reading and posting on just9moreminutes ,before i need to leave the house.
i am happy that our small group gets back to meeting tonight! we have had about a month break...so it will be good to be back in somewhat of a flow.

well. i need to get some work done. hope you have a great day!
