Updates…

As is typically the case when I get busy, things around here, the blog that is, get put on the back burner.

Here’s the short list:

Jaxon is nearly 15 months old now, he’s 34+ inches tall and is just about to walk on his own. He and I (and my gorgeous wife Amie) have gibberish conversations on a daily basis. It’s awesome!

I have had the amazing opportunity to work with the folks at Creative Fuel Studios, a part of Ignition Garage, on a few projects with many more to come. Seriously, if you’re thinking about doing something creative these are the folks you want behind you.

I wrote here about the polarizing effect death has on us, especially young death. A young man that was a part of the youth ministry at our church drowned on July 6th and I had the tremendous blessing of being involved with Cody’s Celebration of Life this last week, both in putting together a video montage of pictures from his life and in helping to plan the service with the family. If you’d like, please stop by the Facebook Group set up in honor of Cody, if just to take a moment out of your daily commotion, to reflect.

Along with these there’s the usual maniacal things often referred to as life. But, especially of late, I’ve grown weary of them and have found a glimmer of hope in a little book I’m going through right now. Getting Things Done is helping me get my life a little more organized, but, what’s more, it’s helping me get a lot more things DONE. I’m just through the first chapter, and already I’m seeing a dramatic increase in my productivity. Check it out, even if you don’t struggle in this area, because there’s always room for improvement!

There. I’m caught up. Kinda.

OH! This week I’ll be guest posting on Media Salt a couple times. Check out what Cleve and Eric have going and don’t forget to check out the other summer guest bloggers as well!

Be well!
