So, while I was sharing about how I feel like a complete soccer-mom for driving out minivan to work..... Jason at Team Polycarp posted this..... (I am a member btw).
Do I feel sheepish..., but it doesn't really matter, especially in light of what others are going through around the world. (We get the Voice of the Martyrs' monthly newsletter.)
Sorta puts things in perspective.

Hey, I'm famous...not really...just blah!
This just in. For those who may not know, I was asked to join a group blog thingy called Team Polycarp. My longtime buddy Jason Hughlett got some friends together and started it - basically it's a bunch of guys who blog infrequently (like me) blogging infrequently in the same space. Anywhooo, he decided to do a mock interview of the various members just for kicks. I was asked to submit mine first. You can read it here. Enjoy.
On other fronts, I've just felt kind of blah lately. Don't know why. I enjoyed the Christmas season despite the fact that neither of us (me and Beth) felt particularly festive. I haven't been much in touch with people lately either. Like I said, blah. I know I'm fighting off some kind of cold/flu thingy - but that's not it. Prayer should shed some insight - I hope so.
Weather has been freakishly warmish. It is now 9pm, we just got back from a nice long walk. It felt like April outside rather than the 6th of January. It must be George Bush's fault - you know, global warming and all. Last week it was 3 degrees outside - right now our thermometer says 52!!!
I'm sure it will freeze again soon.

Know what I hate? New Year's Resolutions!
Happy Nu year everybody. I know, I'm a couple of days late, but after a little thought I decided, what the heck. I got to thinking about resolutions after catching up on another blog hosted by my buddy Jason - Team Polycarp There you will find my (fake) New Year's Resolution list (in Letterman top 10 fashion).
It just got me thinking about how we spend our lives. I am a firm believer in taking stock of our lives, making lists, wanting to improve ourselves - it is very healthy. However, we have this tendency to make promises we can't keep, or don't ever intend to keep. I know I do. So what's the answer? As of now I really don't know - but rather than making resolutions this year, I just want to change my life instead.
