What have I been up to?

I am sitting in a coffee shop with really nothing else to do and thought, "Hey I should put up a new post!"

I am using my day off to get away. It is absolutely beautiful outside today. I left the ranch and just started driving down the rural highways across the flat farmland. It was a great drive with the windows rolled down and rocking out to Mark Driscoll preaching the word!! Alright, it may not be the first thing on one's playlist of for a beautiful day's drive, but that's me!!! It is near perfect right now. It is 67 degrees out and sunny!! I really should get outside and participate in the day.

Life has been going pretty well. Things at the ranch are starting to get a little hectic as we prepare for the big Auction. It is about six weeks away and I am starting to get a taste of what craziness awaits me!! I look forward to seeing how the auction operates and the benefit we will receive from the generosity of others.

I have been helping out more at church. The youth pastor Mark is a pleasure to work with and has become a great friend. It has been awesome getting to know some of the youth and really begin to invest in their lives. Speaking of which, my buddy Josh was saved on Sunday. He is a guy who graduated from the program but was not able to go home. He lives up stairs with me and the other staff guys. He had really been talking about God here recently and would always be open to having God conversations (EDITOR'S NOTE: The previous sentence has been edited and the grammar fail that occurred has been fixed). God really broke his heart Sunday night and Josh realized his need for a Savior! Praise the Lord!!

I am starting to learn the bass. I am not as far along as I should be but am noticing improvements. I am excited to learn this new skill and hopefully one day actually be able to play an instument!! The funny thing is that I am already in a band. The band name is Remember LaRae. I am technically the band manager until I learn the bass. Then I will be the bassist!!

Well I have more i want to talk about, but the coffee shop is closing up. So I gotta get off the computer.

p.s. more on the new nickname next time!!

What the heck is going on with this show?? LIVE

Let me know if you are paying any attention to this!

---

ABC signal is a bit choppy. Is that because I am not watching it on a HD tv?? Choppy for anyone else??

---

Meanwhile, here is an article about Chuck Norris written by Chuck Norris. I can't remember where i found it so if i stole it from your twitter, sorry.

---

Tina Crouse was that you holding the sign that said "HI MOM LOVE TINA"???

---

Clip show is on. I have already seen this, so I am actually watching American Idol in Louisville.
---


I am not sure how to order the updates. I think i will put the new stuff on top. Any thoughts or suggestions?
---

Well, I got an idea to try and live blog my thoughts and reactions during the show. I have no idea what I am doing so this may not work at all, but we shall see!!!

Oh and the show in case you didnt know is LOST. New Episodes on ABC at 9 est/ 8 central, but if you needed to know that you probably aren't reading this!!

Do you notice anything different?

Well I have decided I need to really make some changes here. I have always struggled to post consistently. As part of the New Year's Resolutions I have decided to make, my blog will be updated regularly. I am striving to at least update once a week. Hopefully after I do that, the post will be even more regularly. The problem is that there is just not that much going on in my life to report on. I also do not claim to be a photographer so I can not fill posts with cool pics, not there is anything wrong with that!

I would also like some feedback as to what you, as a reader of my blog, would like to see here. My life pretty much consists of get up, go to work, come home, go to sleep, and wake up to do it all over again. If you do not want to hear about that, what would you like to hear about? Any suggestions are welcome!! You can also let me know what you do not like.

I am sitting here watching the Colts/Bolts game and wondering who I would like for the Titans to play. My gut reaction says Chargers because I really just do not like the Colts or the Ravens. I would hate to lose in these playoffs to either of those teams.

I am also anticipating the return of LOST. Season 5 begins on Wednesday, January 21st. I have began getting refreshed by watching Season 4. I have also converted Mark, one of my roommates. He has jumped on the LOST train is ready for the wild ride to continue. He has caught up by watching all the seasons on DVD and is already dreading the fact that he has to wait a week between each episodes. I have already informed him that it is not fun but at least we will have something to talk about during the week.

Oh, I forgot to mention my other big resolution for the New Year. I am really preparing to lose 100 pounds!! I know this is a big feat and will take some discipline and hard work, but I am serious about it. I am so tired of being big and have the weight I could lose. I will also be chronicling that endeavor. I realize that even if I do not hit the 100 pound mark any weight loss will be good for me and something to be excited about!!

Anyway, I hope to do well with my endeavors in 2009! I look forward to what is in store for me and what God will be bringing my way!
