Weekend Kickoff Mini-Thoughts

It’s back for the first time in 5 months – a rapid-fire session of thoughts on my mind right this minute:

• I miss doing these fun blog posts.
• This was a fan favorite from the early days of this blog.
• By “early days” I mean late-2000s.
• Most of you weren’t tracking with me back then.
• “Tracking with me” – that’s a favorite phrase among pastors and preachers.
• This “Sunday Scripture” I’ll look back at my 4-part sermon “Faces & Heels”.
• It’ll be a nice wrap-up of that 4-Sunday experiment.
• So I’m nearing the end of Week 4 of my work-at-home experience.
• It’s an experience – no longer an experiment.
• The biggest “pro” – not having to deal with traffic.
• The biggest “con” – working longer (and more erratic) hours at home.
• I’m working out of my kitchen.
• I never eat in my kitchen.
• I always eat in my living room.
• I’ve driven only 88 miles over the past 28 days.
• I last filled-up with gas 37 days ago.
• Last week I walked only 11.63 miles.
• That was barely over 25,000 steps in 7 days.
• That was the lowest ever during my 4½-year #Fitbit era.
• 3 weeks ago was my 3RD-lowest week of the era.
• Ironically despite little to no exercise – I’m losing weight.
• I can’t explain that.
• Maybe I’ll get up and walk at dawn this morning.
• Lately we’ve been close to 80°F at dawn.
• This morning we could actually dip into the lower-70s.
• That’s an incentive to get up and walk around outside.
• Next week marks 12 years since I quit smoking !
• I smoked from age 11 to 41.
• You know I’m doing a lot less laundry since I’ve been working at home.
• My washer and dryer are using less electric power.
• My A.C. is using more electric power.
• It runs at the same temperature day and night now (77°F).
• Happy 39TH Birthday tomorrow to my sister-in-law Christina !
• She doesn’t read this blog.
• Nobody in my family reads this blog.
• Happy 10TH Birthday this coming Monday to my oldest niece Taylor !
• I met Taylor for the first time at #DFW when she was 24 days old.
• I’m looking forward to seeing my family again at the end of June.
• Well I’m running out of things to write, so let’s end it here.
• That was abrupt.
