This page serves as an ongoing record of what I’ve got going on, both professionally and in my personal life.

- I have neglected this page for over a month now. And I am not at all worried about that. I want this to be a stress-free area and I do not want to feel forced to write here. So, with vacationing the last week in June, a relaxing July 4th week, and a couple busy weeks at work, I am kinda glad I didn’t take time to update this page.
Now, to cover what has happened over the past 3-4 weeks!
- Vacationing was very relaxing and enjoyable. We went to Hilton Head Island at a cheaper condo than we normally stay at. The rooms wasn’t as fancy, but it was clean and worth the low price. The added benefit of not having annoying decorations on the wall that I read over and over again. I really hate text based decorations on walls. There is no need for “Beach Life” to be on every wall! I walked a ton more than I am used to and by the end of the week physically felt better than I have in a very long time. Spending time with the kids and just disconnecting from work is something I feel privileged to get to enjoy.
- Work is going fantastic! I have multiple projects going on. The podcast is still going strong with new episodes dropping at a regular cadence. I have created some videos for Service Recovery, Fellowship Recruitment, and a new video for Orientation explaining the benefits of what the Ballad Health Foundation accomplishes.
- It’s the time of year where storms kick off about every afternoon. The kids are mostly at the age that they still get nervous, but are not freaking out like they did when they were younger. I guess I passed that off to them as I used to cower in the closet and cry but now I’m outside watching them roll in.
In huge news, Myke Hurley referenced me in my quick post about him. It was NOT my best writing and oddly enough was quickly written on my iPhone as he has inspired me to do with his blog.
This a way for me to keep track of projects, milestones, and random updates without the fleeting nature of social media. Instead of scrolling through posts or digging through old timelines, everything is kept on the Then page, easy to reference at any time. Think of this as a personal feed, but instead of constant updates and algorithms deciding what gets seen, it’s just a simple, static pages on my blog updated when I feel like it, on my own terms.
I got the idea for this Now page from Stephen and David at Relay that referenced nownownow.com, a site created by Derek Sivers to encourage people to share what they’re currently focused on.
