Hey everybody, long time no talk. I know what you're thinking, geez, Paul, I thought you were going to blog more. I mean, you keep threatening that. Well, I think this may be my first attempt at blogging regularly. I feel like I have some snarky, sarcastic, things to say that you all deserve to hear and who am I to deny you of that pleasure? Not really sure what this blog will be about, but it'll probably be a long one since I am currently running the clock out at Radio Hospital before I start working at Sprint.
And there's no one here at my store. No one. Probably the 5 degree air temperature is to blame. Or maybe it's Main Street. Either way, I'm bored blogging, which is the basic equivalent of drunk dialing...but not as fun. Or so I've heard.
I want to say this upfront, if you ever get a chance to work for the DePalma family here in Lima, at Radio Hospital or any of the other businesses, take the opportunity. Tony and his family are great people, who have hired me (twice!) and definitely take care of their employees. I just feel like it's time to move on, and the opportunity to deal with broken cell phones and not worry about a sales quota is too much for me to pass up. I'm grateful for the opportunities presented me, and I wouldn't change it for anything.
There have been a lot of changes since the last time I wrote. I am still trying to lose weight and generally be healthier...but Cold Stone tastes way too good, and so this is creating an issue for me. It's hard, when you've done the same thing for this long, to make the transition to healthier. I'm trying. I don't think that my push to get healthier stops at physically.
Here's what I mean. I have had it on my heart to do a men's Bible study for a long while now. I am by no means a theology expert, just a guy who is looking for people to study with me and hold me accountable. I feel like this push has become something that I am going to be unable to ignore, so please if you are interested in being involved in such a group here in Lima, let me know.
One of my slogans going into 2013 was that I was going to stop talking about doing things and start doing them. I joined Anytime Fitness, and now I am starting the process of putting together this group. I feel like it's time to take back this town, and even though I won't be directly involved in the inner city of Lima anymore, I feel like it's my mission field, and I don't want to lose sight of that.
There were great ideas that Ben Wright and I talked about in the past, about telling the stories of the people in Lima, that have fallen by the wayside because we don't have a venue. This is another thing that I've been thinking about quite a lot lately.
Here are more things that I believe to be true:
1. The same people who vowed that Obama would be a one term President are now mad and saying he isn't willing to compromise. Hypocrite, much?
2. We can't pretend to know the spiritual journey of any man. President, bloviating pastor, or Jason Harris. Stop trying. It's up to God, let Him do it.
3. THE FOLLOWING is a creepy show, and not in the good way that FRINGE was.
4. How great was Peter's "I love you, dad" on the series finale, by the way?
5. Ted Mosby needs to hurry up and meet the mother, already.
Well, that killed 15 minutes...until next time, true believers...
