Back to the workout

I’ve taken off the last week from any workouts. I had started to see my mood change. I was irritable and frustrated with everything I was doing at work and at home. I know I’ve been pushing myself but I have a goal. The quicker I reach the goal the easier it will be and I can go back to a regular routine. I’m going to continue the two-a-days for just a couple more weeks. I may take it all the way to the New Year.

Something else that I’ve started to do and it’s helping me push a little harder and work out a little calmer. Worship music. Yeah that’s what I said. I’ve started to use that instead of the music I usually listen to.  I’ve realized that I dont really respond as well with more aggressive music or at least the last couple times I hadn’t. My plan is to slowly get rid of all music. I want to enjoy running than try to avoid it while im running. That is what music is for me. It is my way to avoid the pain. So Austin Stone has a new album out and that’s been in my playlist.

Peace

Pre-marital

Hannah and I started Pre-Marital classes this week.  It will be something. You see hannah and I have a habit of just asking each other how the other person would deal with whatever. We don’t really have pad answers to all the questions.  So our first session was good but it seems kinda late to be trying to figure out the other person. Oh but do you really every figure someone out. Oh Drew you will learn so much you first year. Oh drew you don’t know what you are in for. Oh drew …. People tell me that before everything I do.  yeah I usually go into things blindly. I have know idea what im doing.  None the less we will be there faithfully each time. I do enjoy  going somewhere together and leaving together. I think I would go more places if  I had someone else in the car which may be a pretty stupid statement to make. Anyway we are in pre-marital class.

Decisions

Every once and a while I get to say I made a good decision. One is my proposal to Hannah and another today was in hiring staff writers. We had our first read though of a script. A really good script. So what made it so good. Well it was good story telling first. Sometimes we get mixed up in the bells and whistles of a piece and forget good story telling. We rely on what would make a story look cool and forget what really makes a story cool is taking a simple idea and telling it to an audience. Now it could all fall apart in the following acts but it was a great first run. This weekend a couple friends and I are going to see Ira Glass at the alys stephens a professing atheist. (I dont really know if you can be a professing atheist but and atheist no the less) He has this show called This American life. They tell great stores of true life. A couple years ago a bunch of us were on the This American life train. I miss those days. It was during that time that we started looking for stories in real life. We will be back there soon. Good day today.

The Proposal

I hope hannah will write out how it all went down but for now. Here is the video

Seth Godin told me to

So I was part of that catalyst crowd this past week.  Heros of ministries. Well something that Godin told me. he said. “Its that lizard brain that tells you to not write on your blog today” Any way I was challenged this past week. I kinda got the felling of what kids get when they leave our camp. They are ready to take on the world.  Well Im ready to take on the world.  There are a couple of things that I would like to try this next week. We will see how it goes. The office is about to do another change.  I’ve now seen our creative department change over at least twice. We will see how it goes now.
