Whoa! I just realized that I totally missed the one year anniversary of this blog! I can quickly realize why though — that was the day after I got in my second car wreck in just eight days. I was rattled. I was tired. I’m a guy. I was thinking of a million other things. I’ve got excuses, man!
Anyway, Happy Belated Birthday to my Blog.
Hopefully July 12th, 2005 isn’t so eventful that I forget the second anniversary.

I am sitting in front of a computer at the public library in Arab. I decided to hop online really quickly because I haven’t had much of a chance to do that lately. This week has pretty much sucked because I have been awake past 1AM every night trying to prepare my delivery schedule. I decided yesterday to stop trying, defy Dahnell’s demands, and just go to bed earlier (midnight). I did this with a plan in mind.

Today is Joy’s 20th Birthday! Hooray for Joy!
It kinda stinks that we are apart for such a momentous occasion, but these things all happen for a reason. I guess it will just further highlight the sacrifices we made this summer to develop ourselves as people.
Joy, I hope you have a great day today, and don’t miss your days of being a teen too much. The twenties are going to be a roaring good time, I’m sure of it!
PS — I love you, sistah!

Most of my life I have discounted the importance of memorizing anything. I wasn’t particularly “good at it” and thus it required a lot of work for me. Now, this always strikes me as strange because I do seem to have a fairly good memory when it comes to several things, but as far as memorizing speeches, songs, bible verses, etc. I am unpracticed and thus unskilled.
Most of my life I have had a Bible readily availble, and more recently I have had the Internet at my fingertips so I could look up any verse or song that I wanted to know.
My Southwestern experience changed all of that.

One of the best things I’ve done to make Southwestern a great experience was getting AudioCDs of sermons and now — books.
I have three sermons series from my chruch in Cape Coral that I’ve listen to many, many times now, and I now have two books on CD too. I have Courageous Leadership by Bill Hybels and an abridged version of The Purpose Driven Church by Rick Warren.

I’ve had tons to write about lately, but I’ve been staying off of the computer most of this week. I’ve been busy trying to do this job as well as I can and it seems to have paid off a little bit.

This week has been nearly my worst week ever in terms of stats. It got off to a pretty bad start, I was sick for a day and a half of it, and I followed one of the days, so I really can’t expect too much, but it was still my second or third lowest week of the summer in terms of strong units.
That doesn’t really matter all that much though, because next week I plan to go out and really break some personal records. I am stepping out in faith and setting a goal to break through 250 units in a week next week. I am making it public and asking for prayer. God willing, I will break through this barrier. In the process I will be making $1,000 in one week, which will also be nice.

Every morning on the bookfield and every night during Sales School we do this little thing that we all like to call Execs, which is short for Executive Exercises.

I am at the end of one of the longest days of my life. I am thinking that the day is actually a day and two fifths, because it spans much more than 24 hours.
This is a fairly long story so don’t start until you have a few spare minutes to keep reading.
