Back to the Grind

Well, I don't know about you, but the transition between Christmas and New Year's and the starting of a new year is tough. Yes, I am full of optimism about the new year and excited about what the Lord has in store, but somehow the batteries take a little bit longer to recharge. This year has been even tougher. We introduced a new member to the family over the holidays, Bo Bo Bowman. Bo Bo is a Lhasa Apso puppy that Mackenzie received for Christmas. He was 7 weeks old when we got him. I had forgotten the joys of housebreaking a puppy and getting up in the night multiple times to let him out. Anyway, he has been well worth it and I will do a formal introduction with pictures in my next blog.
I finally feel like I am getting back into the swing of work, home, church, etc... I know I have been delinquent in blogging but now you know why and I will try to do better. I was going to blog about my goals for 2009, but then I read my sister-in-law's blog with her goals and felt a little embarrassed. Good luck Tammy. I will be anticipating your results. For now, I just want to be a better husband, Dad, teacher (do not say Amen!), employee, and servant. I am better with the big picture. So for now I will leave you with a thought. Don't let the grind turn you into something you were never intended for or dilute you from your intended purpose.

Can't wait to see the puppy. Are there going to be pictures? It is always so much fun (and work) to having a new puppy.

Was beginning to wonder if the author of this blog was still out there!
