Help us provide access to drinking water.

Again, a rather un-profound post.
It looks to be another busy week ahead, so I want to prepare you for the disappointment and heartache you might feel from not hearing more from me as far as thoughtful commentary on life goes.

Here’s some of the short, but hopefully interesting post you can be expecting this week:

• Notes on the book To Own a Dragon and/or Colossians Remixed
• Notes on applying GTD (getting things done) to my work and life
• Notes on how to be a better teacher and motivator
• sweet advertisements I’ve seen recently
• commentary on life

That’s about all from these parts.

(You know when you write “excuses” three times it starts to look funny)

I write to give you three very good excuses as to why you have been left bored this week with mostly postings of research info and not much of my own personal thoughts this week.

1. I recently switched positions at my work, but that has meant doing my old job and my new one both during this week (and likely next week). It’s caused some very long days, but I’ve enjoyed them a lot. My mind hasn’t been able to wander to other things so I haven’t had much to write about, nor the energy to do so.
2. As I’ve mentioned, Soulforce’s visit to Wheaton College is coming up next weekend. I’ve been posting alumni stories as I’ve gathered them and posted them at Overflowmag.com. It’s been a very exciting project and it’s gotten a LOT of traffic, and hopefully some more will come before the events next weekend.
3. This one is obvious:
   

I hope you can understand. I’ll post some more this week if there is time. I might just start posting some old writings I’ve dug up recently. We’ll see.

Congratulations to José O. Vilanova!

José was the first (and thus far only) caller to the Trying to Follow hotline. He’s won a free t-shirt from http://iamnotashamed.net which he’ll be able to sport shortly.
