Busy weekend ahead

It’s a big weekend starting today. Here’s what I’ve got to do:

  1. Pick up conference speaker from the airport.
  2. Drive to Puebla (3 or 4 hours).
  3. Finalize details for tomorrow’s all-day conference. (aka: hunt down sound system, etc).
  4. Tomorrow is the conference (all day).
  5. Tomorrow is National Taco Day, so I’ll have to sneak some tacos during the conference (or after it).
  6. Tomorrow is the Final Four (I’ll probably miss it).
  7. Drive home after the conference.
  8. Sunday is a special speaker at church (the conference speaker).
  9. Sunday is the beginning of Videoblogging Week.

So, it seems like I’ll be really busy for the next 48 hours (or more). Anyway, there will be little posting until Sunday. Hope you have a great weekend.

Success vs failure

Tuesday, the sermon in chapel was about the failure of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The main point was that God chooses to use failures so that He gets the glory. I was thinking about how those people probably felt in the times of their failure. Probably not too different than how I feel when I fail in my journey.

Here are some of my thoughts about success and failure.

New brakes

I took the car to the shop today because it was making a really funny noise. It turns out that the breaks needed to be changed. So, it’s there now. I’ll go to pick it up a little later. We’re also getting the oil changed, the motor cleaned, and maybe a brake light fixed. I hope I have enough money to get dinner after they’re done.
