My 2014 focus is: More about this later.

Living Deadline to Deadline
I think I’ve become a boring person. Lots of work, lots of running and not enough time resting to engage my creative juices. It’s a deadline-to-deadline existence. So the question is what should I do about it? I enjoy my work and really enjoy running. There just doesn’t seem to be enough white space between those two […]
It’s a Christmas Tradition: Behold the Lamb
Marathon or no marathon, we had an important concert to attend Saturday night. I had to tell Kelly that three times Saturday. (I had to tell myself that at least five times.) Anytime Andrew Peterson comes to Dallas with his annual Behold the Lamb tour, we make it a point to go. That album is […]
Learning About Boundaries
With relatively limited options during our extended power outage, we took advantage of the quiet and finished reading Boundaries. I highly recommend this book. We all struggle with knowing when and how to say no, as well as when and how to say yes. As it turns out, this book talks a great deal about […]
Breakfast with a Master
Tuesday morning, a colleague and I headed to Fort Worth for the morning. We were attending a by-invitation press preview for the new Piano Pavilion at the Kimbell Museum of Art. Really there are times that I just feel so ridiculously lucky to be doing what I do. My company built the new pavilion (let’s […]

Some weeks you’re a whirling dervish at work. Other weeks you’re a snail. This is one of the latter weeks for me. At least our […]
Monday Bits and Pieces
On my mind and in my life this morning… I feel pretty successful for getting two coats of paint on the front door this weekend. It will probably take another 1-2 coats to even out the color. To be honest, it's a bit more yellow in tone than I anticipated but (so far) I still […]
Oddly Content
Here’s something strange that I didn’t anticipate after writing for a whole month about change. Now that change has restarted in our lives, I find myself oddly content. Not stressed. Not despairing. Not depressed. Just. Content. I suppose I’m trusting that things will work out, as they always have, in a way that is satisfactory, as it […]
The Little Things
Often it’s the little things that make a weekend special – seeing family, sharing a meal with friends, enjoying a particularly moving church service. That’s what makes it even more special when you get to do all of those things in a single weekend.
