Yes, today is 365.
One year ago, I changed the way I eat/think about food.
OK, so this is the umpteenth time I’ve done this. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt, it fit, then it didn’t. But dag nab-it, I’m trying to make it stick this time.
They say a picture is worth a thousand words, so here’s one that shows this past year: Continue Reading…
A recent post prompt on Plinky.com was:
What’s your idea of the perfect Sunday?
My answer:
In four photos…
In an effort to declutter my various inboxes, I’ve been clicking the highlighted link below a lot this past week. I get so much email that I don’t read…why not declutter?
Still thinking about my Twitter and Facebook lists…
Are you decluttering as well? Give it a shot!
Today’s post prompt on “The Daily Post at WordPress.com” was:
How do you stay focused on a task or activity?
My Answer
[I dont’ know about you, but when I hear the word “focus” my mind immediately goes to the Karate Kid and I hear Mr. Miyagi pronouncing it…thus the image. Anyway…]
It’s weird, but I stay focused by being slightly out of focus. Let me explain.
Today’s post prompt on “The Daily Post at WordPress.com” was:
Share a story about a memorable job interview
My Answer
Quite a few years ago, I got a call from a headhunter looking to fill a job – they actually were calling a number of people where I worked as they had quite a few openings. They weren’t telling all of us…but we still figured it out. I ended up finagling the company’s name out of the person (hey, I’m not stupid!) and said I’d interview for the position.
I’m sure that process happens quite often – though for me it was a first.
On to the memorable part…
A few years ago, a friend introduced me to Lovelite, a group from Southern California whose purpose is to “inspire praise in the hearts of God’s people and desire in the hearts of the lost.” Their latest release, Nearness, is an album that is heavy rotation on the old iPhone lately.
When I’m deciding on music to listen to, sound is important, but solid lyrics are huge. With lyrics like

I really like John Mark McMillan‘s music. His newest release, The Medicine, is played on my iPhone at least three times a week. That said, one of his songs contains some of my least favorite lyrics right now (OK, for the past few months):
I don’t have time to maintain these regrets
When I think about, the way He loves us
You see, I’m holding on to some regrets. Continue Reading…
Today’s post prompt on “The Daily Post at WordPress.com” was:
Share something that makes you smile.
My answer:
This was my second year at the blogging thing. I think I scaled back a bit, but I intend to pick it up in 2011… Anyway, these are the top five posts in number of views for 2010:
#5: Forgotten God – Chapter One [151 views]
During the Winter quarter of Sunday School at church, I team-taught through Francis Chan’s Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit. I wrote a series of posts on each chapter and one about the DVD resource.
#4: Review: Forgotten God DVD Study Resource [177 views]
Book end post to my post series as I team-taught through Francis Chan’s Forgotten God: Reversing Our Tragic Neglect of the Holy Spirit at church.
I’ve decided I want to blog more. Rather than just thinking about doing it, I’m starting right now. I will be posting on this blog once a day for all of 2011.
I know it won’t be easy, but I’m giving it a shot. I’m promising to make use of The DailyPost, and the community of other bloggers with similar goals, to help me along the way.
If you already read my blog, I hope you’ll encourage me with comments and likes, and good will along the way.
Signed,
Dennis
