Lemonade

Well my last post I was pretty overwhelmed with my week. I would like to say that it got better before it got worse. Cant...That was just the beginning. As I look back now it truly was a great week. I had just an awesome week at the shop. Great jobs that I could actually make a little money at and they all went well. Couldn't ask for more. So contrary to my last post I truly feel blessed for all that I do have.

So as you can see my week did eventually turn around or did it. Maybe nothing really changed except the way I am looking at it. I mean hear it is 10:20 and I'm still up picking out songs for tomorrows service.I just finished making a treasure chest and clock for the kids service tomorrow and a few hours ago had to deliver a bunch of stuff to the school including a ticket booth that was just finished this afternoon. So what is it?

I think we are designed so perfectly that we are able to control how we feel. Its all a state of mind. If you want to feel old and broken then that's how your going to feel. If you want to be happy and young feeling then I think you will be. Look at me most days I still think I'm 22 and I feel like. My wife says I even act like it. (but I think she means that in a bad way) Anyway I think what I'm trying to say is you have the power to make life what you want it to be. Everyone know the saying "If life gives you lemons..." Well its pretty much a guarantee that life is going to give you lemons and probably a lot of them. So what are you going to make with them?

Which way is up?

What a week. I feel like I'm running in circles. I am so greatful to be busy at the shop I just cant believe it comes at a time when I have a million other things to do. Between my deck that is going together so slow the first time I get to use it I will have to shovel snow off it first to all the things I need to get built for church. Even as I am typing this my brain is spinning trying to figure out how I am going to get everything done tomorrow. I do have some cool stuff to build I just hate to have to rush and do it. Most on the time I would rather not build something than build it and it not be good or done right. I think that is what has my head such a mess because I am struggling to not have to compromise anything that I am doing but yet get it all done. I know I know everyone is busy. Good thing this is my blog and I can blog about whatever I want.

Sunshine+Good Friends+ Burritos=1 Great Day

What a great day! Today me and a couple close friends, Corbett and Pete (my room mate) headed out to Chicago to do a video shoot for this weekends service. It started out like what seemed to be an eminent disaster. Weather man calling for thunderstorms at 12:00 noon and of course we were leaving late 11:15. Traffic was bad and we weren't even sure where we were going. The closer we were getting to the city the farther away the sun seemed to get. Then (this is the cool part and I love it when he does this) God stepped in. We found the perfect, well maybe not perfect but it was a good spot to shoot and the clouds seemed to just disappear. Not a rain cloud in sight. I love outings like this.

Off to our second location and all is still good. One thing I did realize today is that I haven't a clue about video. Hey hey guess I have something new to learn. Oh yeah the burritos. We have Corbett and his bad city driving to thank for what I think could be the greatest burritos in the world. Oh did I mention they are as big around as my leg. So there ya have it. The recipe for a great day. A couple good friends, lots of sunshine, and 3 extremely large burritos.

Gentle Persuasion

Not sure how this is going to go but here is my first post. After much gentle persuasion by a great friend I have decided to give blogging a shot.
I must say I am a bit intimidated. I have recently visited a few blogs that were quite impressive. From pictures to links and things I don't even know the name of to just great things to say. I'm not sure who would want to read my plain old blog but I am going to give it a try anyway. Who knows maybe it will be a great learning experience for me and if I can find the time I might even give a few of those things I don't know the name of yet a shot. I think the thing that bothers me even more would be that people do actually read my blog. After all it is "My Scary Place".
Now if I can just remember to spell check every time I post.
