It's great to be a Florida Gator


Did you get to watch the National Championship game last night? It was a good game with a great outcome. I have been a Florida Gator fan since before I can remember but I have to say these past three years have been my favorite. Why you ask? Does The name Tebow mean anything to you? To me Tebow = Man crush. Just Kidding I do love the guy though. Tim Superman Tebow is more than just a college quarter back. He is a role model and example to every young boy who wants to play football at any level and not just football but really any sport. Tebow demonstrates what it truly means to give your talents to the Lord and see what he will do. When we give the Lord everything we have he does incredible things, kind of like 2 National Championships and the Heisman. So I ask myself and you what talents or gifts have we been keeping from the Lord? We need to give them to the Lord and see what he will do.

It's 2009 and I have to manage my time

Can you believe it is 2009? I cant. Where did last year go? It seems like last week we were starting 2008. I have been telling myself that I need to blog about Christmas and our time in FL. with the fam and rap up the year with a clever new blog entry. But I kept telling myself I will do it later, I will do it tomorrow and now look 2009 is already here. With each new year it makes me stop and think, no that is not the only time I do that. But I do think a little more about my goals and accomplishments and of course the things I said I was going to do and never got around to. My biggest critique for 2008 and my goal for 2009 is managing my time. I have to be honest with myself and everyone else, I WASTE A LOT OF TIME! I am really convicted at the start of this new year to really focus and start managing my time, my Jesus deserves it, my wife deserves it, my boys deserve it, my students deserve it and I need to do it. I want 2009 to be the year that I get my time together from my solo time, to family time, to time in the office. I want to better myself by managing my time. So here's the plan. Starting today I am conciously thinking about my time. There is a lot ot do in a day starting with time in the word, time with Nikki, dad time and what ever task at hand that day. I am going to plan out my weeks scheduling my time so I can love my wife more, serve my church better and grow in the Lord like never before. So as I enbark on this journey pray that God will have favor on me and my time and I encourage you to share with me what you are thinking going into this new year.

Blessings on you and your family in 2009
