• Rolling thru a mush of stuff before my first wedding for the weekend. #
• Off to Mark & Marion’s wedding. What a great story. Should be a
  terrific celebration. #

• Off to practice holy matrimony. #
• Matrimonial bliss is ensured. #
• No day off today. Too much going on, so opting for a compressed work
  day in the morning to crash thru some priorities. #
• Seriously compressed morning, and then relaxing lunch with my
  beautiful wife. A good way to wrap the day. #

• Off to pray with ma peeps. #
• Ma peeps have prayed & it wuz good. #
• The night owl in me just up & went. #
• I would like to postpone the start of today by 2 hours. This would be
  better. #
• Filling in forms? I do not like them, Sam-I-am. I do not like filling in
  forms. #

• First espresso of the day is very good. #

I preached a sermon a few weeks back focused on being generous people this year, not just financially, but more particularly in the way we think, speak and act.

“Never ascribe to malice that which is adequately explained by incompetence.”

• Enough is enough. Off to bed. Mmmmm… that’s better… #
• Putting together my game plan for a full-on day. Thank God for 90 Day
  Goals… #
• Productive morning of prep. Really needed that. #
• The ultimate conundrum: leaving the bathrooms in a hygenic way when
  the guy before you didn’t wash his hands. What is with that?! #

• Locking down the priorities for the week before working said priorities.
  Now, if only someone would hold back the non-priorities… #
• I struggle to figure out why people make such a big deal over the
  Oscars, which are clearly often not a true reflection of quality or … #

This guy sounds a bit “different”, but he’s come up with a mathematical explanation for satisfying design, and that makes him “interesting” to me… :-)

“The only function of economic forecasting is to make astrology look respectable.” – John Kenneth Galbraith

• Looking forward to worship this morning. Great team to lead us, and a great
  God to praise. #
