Bad Habit

I have not planned on only visiting this blog once a week. Things seem busier, but no excuses. If I want to make time for the Lord, I will read Scripture daily and post on here a few thoughts. Unfortunately, I have not been disciplined enough to do so as of late. Here is a run down of what has happened since I last blogged.

Tues, June 9: I went to the Baylor ABC course. Amy's right leg is more swollen so the Ob covering today's appointment ordered sono which ended up being negative for DVT. I went riding on my bicycle with Nick for the first time, and I had a good time. Ben and D.J. came over to watch some NBA Finals which ended up being Orlando's only win against the Lakers.

Weds, June 10: Amy and I went early so that I could talk at nursing shift report and then to discuss the project at ED staff meeting. Lisa and I went to Baylor ABC afterwards. Amy texted me that her Ob sono shows Betty to be 6lbs 1oz and Lucy to be 5lbs 12 oz! A big storm came into the DFW this evening.

Thurs, June 11: It continued to rain hard as I went to play early morning basketball. We had lots of water leak into the gym. I had a personal trainer session after b-ball. There were lights out and flooding which caused me to take a detour home. As I was napping, I heard lightning hit nearby and have power come on and off. It was amazingly sunny and dry by the time I went into work.

Fri, June 12: Angela came over to do LLSA questions and had lunch with us. I went to work and had a great chat with Terry, the nursing supervisor, at the end of my shift.

Sat, June 13: We went to Firewheel and had a great time. While Amy and Sally shopped at Carters, Ruth and I explored the area around the streams and fountain. A radio station was doing a promotional giveaway so we wandered around there and had pretzel sticks and a slushy. Ruth enjoyed the train playground again. We all went to eat lunch at Hoolihans. It reminded me of St. Louis so I called Ar Kasem and Ar Huang. We invited them to Dallas for July 4th. Later, they would email us saying they would not be able to come. We stopped at Baylor Garland on the way back to pick up more forms. I enjoyed taking Amy around in a wheelchair to see the new set up during construction. Lynn and Larissa came to visit at the house. We received an email from the Blacks. We will plan on meeting for the Baylor game at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington instead of going Nebraska. Amy and I looked at options for ACEP in Boston as a replacement trip.

Sun, June 14: We all went to church and ate lunch at Corner Bakery. I had a short nap since Ruth had trouble sleeping. I went to work that afternoon.

Mon, June 15: Ben came over during his downtime on his Presby Ob rotation. We had brunch at Einstein Bagel. At Northpark Mall, we got our car cleaned while we walked up and down escalators. I had fun walking around with Ruth. We had some good father/daughter time while Amy and Sally checked out some makeup. Ruth and I shared some yogurt with chocolate chips. Ruth fell asleep while we went by George's for snow cones, Lone Star Baby, and Target. We dropped Sally off, and I drove Amy to her hair appointment. I got some reading done and when Ruth woke up, we hung out in the minivan. Ruth enjoyed sitting in the regular seat and watching her alphabet DVD. We had a change of plans so we went to dinner with Ben and Suzanne at Gloria's. They came over to the house afterwards.

Hebrews 3:1 "Therefore, holy brothers, who share in the heavenly calling, fix your thoughts on Jesus, the apostle and high priest who we confess."

I loved the way this chapter started by reminding me where to focus. I have been having great quiet times and prayer sessions on the drive to work. I feel closest to Him as I drive to the ED, but then I get too busy for Christ during shift. I sometime remember to talk to Him again on the drive home. Sadly, the rest of my time is spent away from Him. If I could focus on Him during the rest of my days, I would be much closer to Christ.
