I keep telling myself I’m not going to do this or that and yet, when someone asks I get so hyped and before you know it I’ve agreed to something that takes a deep commitment of time. Before you know it I feel like I don’t see my family for days as a time (that never happens it just seems that way). From time to time I have to step back and look at what I am involved in and decide what will have to go in order to make sure I have time for my wife and kids. We should all take the time to evaluate our activities and decide what is really most important.
The band is getting geared up for Relay for Life. Have I mentioned that Relay for Life in Greer is May 16th & 17th? Ok, that was a cheap plug. What I was saying is the band is putting the finishing touches on our set list. We found out our time slot. We are taking the stage between midnight and 1:00 am. It really depends on when the dance competition ends. The good news was we are not limited to 30 minutes like we were originally told. It has really made things hard in preparing. So if you don’t have anything to do on May 17th come see us and enjoy the atmosphere of Relay for Life, Greer style.
Can’t wait to see you there!

Thoughts for the day
Wow, time just seems to fly by. It doesn’t seem like it has almost been a week since I posted the link to Cliff’s story of “stuff”. If you don’t know what I’m talking about you need to look at the previous post. I’m trying to do better. I think I may need to play a specific time to work on the blog on a regular basis.
I have had a really long week and stressful week at work. There have been times that stress has found it’s way home with me. I publically apologize to my family for letting that happen. But the point I am leading up to is this, no matter how life treats us we MUST always live out lives in a manner that lifts God up. If we lift God up we please Him and that is what we are here for. Though things may not always feel or go the way we want or expected to and there may still be times we feel like giving up or giving in. That is the time to step back and consider what God really wants because you are doing something right. When we are doing what God wants, that makes satin mad. He will throw what ever he can at us to try to break the momentum and try his best to make us stop what we are doing. So count it a blessing when things aren’t necessarily going right.
Three weeks to Relay!!!

Just a Quick Note
Ok, it has again been a while since I posted anything new. I will tell you I started a post a couple of times and got interrupted and just scrapped it. Sorry to leave you hanging.
While I am short on time at the moment I want to offer something meaningful to the two regular readers of this bog. This is one of the best life lessons I have heard in quite some time. It should speak to everyone that reads it, both young and old. Take the time to read this lesson posted by my friend and pastor Cliff Marshall. The topic is Pumping out the tank.
I'll post very soon. Check back soon.

Twice in one day!?!?
This will be a hard post to make any sense out of. I am watching Memphis and Kansas in OT. The winner doesn’t really matter to me. I don’t have any bragging rights on the line with this one. Anyway, I have been slack with my posts lately. Partly due to my wife’s surgery, and part due to just not staying on top of it.
I noticed that from the time I posted last night some time around 1:00 am to now some 23 hours later there have been five people look at the blog. Now I know I haven’t had anything posted for discussion but it would be nice to have a comment from you five. The point is this blog is about four months old and there has been one comment. I know there is a tremendous amount of wisdom spewing from here! :) But let me know if you think I need to read more or just stick to the facts.
It’s over! Congratulations Kansas on the NCAA Men’s Basketball National Championship! The game was one of the best championship games I have seen in a long time. It is always great to get to see a game go into OT. It would have been better had it gone into triple OT and been won by one point with a buzzer beater shot. But you can’t have everything.
One last thing May 16th Greer Area Relay for Life will be at Dooley Field in Greer. Be there or be left out. Among all the hype and the fun the important thing to remember is it is a great cause. I’m sure cancer has affected at ;east one person you know and with the money that Relay for Life raises nationwide strides are being made and one day cancer will only be in the history books as a condition that once was a leading killer in this country.

Still wokring on it.
OK, I still have work to do. It seems that my previous post wasn't much more than an early April Fool's Joke.
Here’s the update: my wife is doing much better. no cast but still dealing with the healing process. She is a bit impatient much of the time. She wants to act like it is back to 100% and then has to deal with the reality all night.
Relay is getting closer. Out team at church did a wonderful job with raising money yesterday. They put on an awesome auction. The turnout wasn't as big as we wanted but the event still managed to bring in more than half the goal.
The band is starting to gel. We have been working hard and can see the fruits of our labor. We have five weeks left and I am excited to sat I think we will be worth staying up half the night to hear.
Need to get a little sleep before starting another work week. have a great day (which ever one you read this post).
