A one year project to become a better man in America's south
Day 196 – Its an excuse that I cannot stand. I don’t have enough time.
We all have the same amount of time. Cliche, but true.
If I heard the excuse once today, I heard it a million times. It hit me from all angles.
You have enough time. What you do not have is time management.
Day 195 – Today during my Bible time, I came across Matthew 5:25 which quotes Jesus Christ as saying “settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court.”
This quote reminded me of two recent posts I published where I discussed making quick decisions and moving past trouble.
Combine those two thoughts and you have Jesus’ lesson to settle matters quickly with your adversary.
Day 194 – Today would have been my father’s birthday. He died around 15 months ago after a fight with cancer. More on him later, as he is the real motivation behind this blogging project. That’s going to take a whole lot of time and that’s something I do not have today.
I’m slammed, swamped, under water and in the weeds today. All of that, so I’ll just leave you with yesterday’s WACH Fox and pub versions of Pub Politics. Enjoy!
Day 193 – First off, Happy Valentine’s Day Elizabeth!
Next week we will celebrate our 7th year anniversary. I can’t believe she’s still with me. No big plans tonight except for an episode of Pub Politics. No, I’m not a bad husband. Next week we will be celebrating Valentine’s, our anniversary and Elizabeth’s 30th birthday in VEGAS!
Day 192 – Not a lot of blogging today. I’m sick as heck. And no, I’m not hung over. I know that’s what you are thinking after posting pics from The Avett Brothers concert last night.
Ok, drinking may have something to do with it, but I’ll say again – I am not hung over. I think the alcohol on top of the extreme work and little sleep has just slaughtered my immune system. Today I feel like complete butt so I’m staying in the bed.
Day 191 – Last year I set a goal to get deeply involved in a church ministry by the end of 2011. I failed to accomplish that goal, but I wasn’t going to let another year pass by with another failure. I’m happy to announce that today we officially launched First Baptist Church of Columbia’s Internet ministry.
Day 190 – I think some people exist just to cause trouble. Just to stir up drama. Just to be roadblocks. Just to start fires.
They exist in both our personal and professional lives. They are kinks in a system that could be productive otherwise.
Day 189 – God gave us Sunday as a day of rest because we need it. It was a gift. And we should accept it.
I have not been. I don’t think anyone on the Donehue Direct team has accepted it. That’s a problem.
The entire office is sick. We’ve run our bodies into the ground. I can’t believe that Renee and Jonathan are still awake. Perhaps its because they are younger than me, or because they don’t bounce around to legislative parties on Tuesdays and Wendesdays, but they still have gas in the tank. I do not.
Day 188 – Follow-through is what’s missing.
People promise. They fail to deliver.
Over-promise. Under-deliver.
Day 187 – Another Pub Politics is in the history books. Episode 90. Just ten more until our big 100th episode blow-out. It will be epic. EPIC!
You’ve always heard – when you lie down with dogs, you are going to get fleas.
