What I did this weekend: Friday, Nikki and I took a trip to Wilmington to see friends of ours. It was a great and relaxing time that we both really needed. Saturday we took the family down to Myrtle Beach for a bit of shopping, and somewhere along the way nearly all of us got sick. Sunday morning brought some great worship moments, though it was all I could do not to fall over due to the fact that I felt so bad.

How I’m feeling right now (physically): Sick. I’ve got this horrible congestion that won’t leave me alone.

How I’m feeling right now (emotionally): I’m sad that all of my kids are sick.

How I’m feeling right now (spiritually): Connected. I can see and feel God all around me right now, and that’s awesome.

To Do this week: This is a pretty standard week. My normal rounds of postcards, programming, etc. At some point, though, I need to do some more writing on my book.

Book I’m in the midst of: Picked up a great little reader this weekend. It’s called “Life’s Little Annoyances,” by Ian Urbina. I only had to read the title before I bought the book – not to mention that it was only $1 in a discount bin. It’s really funny, and I can relate to most of the circumstances in the book. Perhaps that’s because I get annoyed a lot.

Music I’m currently listening to: Nothing really sticks out to me at the moment. I honestly haven’t had a lot of solo listening time, either.

What I’m dreading this week: Going without food for 30 hours.

What I’m really excited about this week: UNC going to the Elite 8!
