recovering

'tis the season for nasty colds, by all indications. maybe half the people i've spoken with this week seem to be suffering from one variation or another. been about a week and a half since i've had a good night's sleep, due to a bad cough. Elle's had a high fever the last couple of days too, although she seems to be doing much better today.

i'm listening to an interview with Jack Groppel, a fitness expert who has some really interesting things to say to ministry leaders about the role of energy in ministry. for example, instead of managing time, Jack suggests that we manage energy. time management only takes you from being absent to being present, whereas we give life to whatever we give our energy to, and growth always follows energy investment (which may require time, but that's a secondary consideration). really looking forward to hearing what he has to say further on in the interview. i expect he's got some insightful thoughts about how to recover, recapture, and renew emotional, mental, spiritual, and physical energy.

mannyb...absolutely. and i am really starting to feel better, every day. amy...i drove by, but it was too dark to see inside to tell if there was drywall up. smoke coming out of the chimney, though, which means the furnace is working :)
