i have been over my blog layout for a while now. but i’ve convinced myself not to touch it until i finish the design for the new rock web site. web design, though on my proverbial plate at the rock, is usually last morsel to be consumed on my priority list.

so, at the very least i have to keep foolishnotions up to date…. right? i updated to the latest version of wordpress. now everything is screwed up. i have funky characters everywhere. anywhere i have posted a video has become a disaster area with posts and videos scattered about the page.

so, if you dig deep enough into my site you will discover the ugly truth of this. but, i’m not touching it. so, in case you are wondering if i have fallen from geekdom…. i have to allow myself not to care. cause i really have to do this other thing.

so, ya’ll just read between the lines for a while…. k? thanks.

i resolved over the holidays to keep my posts personal and leave work at work to fully recharge my batteries.  now – back to it – fully charged and ready to take on january – may.

all this discipline to rest my mind has created a touch of blogger’s backup.  so – here is my brain blurt to bust through the build-up.  (that alliteration was so unintentional – ha ha).

1. imagine christmas.  over 15oo people came, 26 decided that they couldn’t imagine their lives without god in it.  and all i can say is i am unbelievably, indescribably humbled. god is faithful.  and the fact that god has placed me in the midst of such amazing people to serve with is one of the greatest honors of my life.  i know, sounds mellow dramatic – but i mean it.  brad over at lifepoint said he felt bad calling what he is about to do a job.  i can so relate. (congrats  brad)
2. got to work on some new artwork today for our new series, dream on, and our new small group catalog.  it all had to be done fast, so it was pretty down and dirty – - but still, it’s good to flex those artsy muscles after 3 months of solving mind-bending, mcguiver-esque technology riddles.  (which, was way fun, too – looking forward to pushing my techno-limits again in may for the gafa production.  i love buttons.)
3. pb did an awesome video this week for dream on – i’ll post it next week.
4. i learned over the past 3 months, that my job is best accomplished by leading rather than doing.  that has been quite a revelation for me.  i knew it before – - but i think i’m starting to i get it.  must – not – forget… lead – - first.
5. i’ve been observing a lot about the blogging community lately and how it relates to our ministry and our relationships.  blogging is such a unique and amazing tool.  i am completely addicted.  i hope to post more about this later.
6. i learned in a quick moment what can happen as a result of a very short, very unspiritual (but not irreverent) prayer that is birthed out of a passionate heart. it was immediate. and i got it instantly as god reverberated in my spirit – - yes, that’s how!  one of those lessons i couldn’t forget if i tried.
7. ok – lest you go away…   nashville and c3  in february, unleash and easter in MARCH! [gasp]; gafa production in may -  – here we go!!!  i can’t wait.
8. my husband sizzles every fiber of my life – i love you honey!
9. my son melts my heart
10. ya’ll all warm my spirit.  thank you for reading and commenting.

let’s make it great ya’ll!  happy new year!!!!!
