Seriously???

LIFE:

Okay... let's just get this out of the way right now! The sports writers and media people are the most finicky people on the planet. I can't believe that OU is undefeated and currently ranked #3 after starting the year at #1! At least the coaches, who actually know the game, still have OU ranked #1.

And while I'm on my football soapbox... I have new reasons to not like Vince Young. Thanks for putting the "dream team" label on my Eagles (that's right, mine, not yours Vince!) The pressure (or big egos) have lead to a 1-3 start. I'm not at all happy about that. One last football note: Aaron Rodgers you're a great player, but did you really have to put up 53 fantasy points on me this week. Not cool!

Well, it seems I'm complaining a lot tonight, so let's keep it going! I loved my time working in the music industry. I loved the people I worked with and meeting all the artists that I grew up listening too and seeing young artists develop! But now that I'm on the outside... I REALLY miss the free music. There are a bunch of great artists that just released CD's in the last month! I picked up a few: Leeland, Switchfoot, downhere, and needtobreathe! I must say that Leeland's "The Great Awakening" and needtobreathe's "The Reckoning" are INCREDIBLE! I forgot about that feeling of buying a CD and having that anticipation of wondering if I would like it or not! I like that feeling, especially when the project is amazing!

I started back on Weight Watchers this week. I've gained some bad habits during my time of being unemployed. So much so that my clothes were starting to fit tight. I lost 7 pound last week and hope to lose another 19 over the next 10 weeks! I hope to look good in slacks, shirt and tie soon! Or is it okay for an insurance salesman to wear jeans, a dress shirt, and no tie???

GOD:

I made it through Joshua in my chronological reading of the Bible this week. It must have been really cool to see the promises God gave his forefathers come to fruition. To actually walk into the Promised Land and see a city fall simply by walking around it and blowing trumpets. I can only imagine what that seen would have been like in person.

I had a great time at the first ever Station Hill "Man-ference"! It was great to connect with other men who want to be Men of God! Then, the very next day, Stephanie and I went to a journey @ home conference. It was a great weekend!

INSURANCE:


I passed my state Life and Health exam! I'm so glad to have passed my exams the first time! I keep hearing about people failing, then having to wait 30 days before taking it again. I'm also glad that I don't have to study all day anymore!


I started my in person training last friday and it continues all this week for a couple hours a day. I should be able to quote auto, home, and life policies by the end of the week! There are quite a few goals that Farmers puts in front of you and I can't wait to see how many of them I can hit! Bonuses, Blue Vases, and Clubs... all sounds like something to work towards!


Final note for this week: Thank you Karen Jordan of PA. I don't know who you are or even if we might be distantly related, but thank you for sending me my P&C License which was accidently sent to you!


The journey continues...
