Ok, so I figured I’d check in.  I’ve been dealing with some serious knee and back pain.  I’ve been running pretty consistently for about 3 months and as of a few days ago when I was working out, I had to stop because the pain in my knee became so bad I couldn’t keep going.  I tried resting for a few days and then tried running again, but I still had issues so I’m going to take a break for a while and see what happens.  Anyway, other than that, things are good.  I realized today that doing budget stuff and crunching numbers literally sucks the life out of me.  I do realize it’s important, but it’s definitely not something I could make a career out of.  I spent the day at work getting my budget for the year in order.  It’s alot tougher than I thought because it takes alot of planning.  I wanted to make sure that I set myself and my department up the best for success this year.  Hopefully it should be done tomorrow.  Also, I got the proofs in from integrity music for the Deluge CD project by jonathan stockstill and the bethany crew.  It looks good!  I have a few things to work on, but we should be done here in a day or so…  Things are going really well at work. Right now I’m working with an amazing team to launch several things at new life this year.  One is a ministry to artists and creatives called “The Community”.  Another is our volunteer community at NLC called “Wired” and lastly, I’m working with a group of 12 young peeps that are nlccreative’s interns.  They are awesome.  Anyway, my eyes are really tired!   I’m gonna bounce for now,  just wanted to check in. - C
