Radio, that is. I have given up talk radio for lent. I LOVE talk radio. If I could do anything in the world, it would be a talk radio host. Not Rush or Glen Beck, but like the guys on the Ticket in Dallas or Ron and Fez.
This is a big give up for me. It is what I listen to at the gym, in the shower, at work and in the car. I even listen sometimes just sitting on the couch. But not for the next 40 days. I hope to fill all that time with meditation, teaching podcasts (yes, totally different than talk radio), and some soul-edifying music. And I hope that at the end of that, I will have a better understanding of who I am in Christ and what he has done to allow me to do what I do.
Are my blogs too short? They could almost be tweets.

The State of Me
The union? Don't really feel like a political discussion today.
The state of me is strong. At least strong-ish.
There was a lot of rhetoric during the election about whether we were better off than we were four years ago. On the eve of lent, an intense time of personal reflection, I think taking some time to answer that question on an extremely local level is appropriate.
So, am I better off than I was 4 years ago? Emotionally? Spiritually? Am I healthier or wealthier? No. No. Yes. Yes.
So today I will celebrate the yes's and attempt to explore how to improve the no's. Lessez bon temps rouler!
