The Pneuma Project

Wow! Am I a total slacker or what? Sorry I haven’t posted in awhile ( a long while). I’m not really sure what my problem has been. Guess I’ve just been too busy with work that when I have free time I don’t utilized it very productively. The past couple weeks at work I’ve been working 6 days a week, and once I get home I am totally unmotivated to do anything productive in front of the computer. I’m committing to pushing through this lethargy and getting something things done this next month. So much so, that I’m going to lay them out here for all to read. Ready? Here goes…

By August 16th I will:
Blog at least 3 times a week
Finish the non-profit incorporation process for the Pneuma Project
Write my monthly update newsletter
Finish the 4 books I am halfway through (ie. Last Child in the Woods, Missional Church, The Great Good Place, and Patrick)
Begin the IRS non-profit process

Ok I think thats good enough, we’ll see how I do.

On a lighter side, Liza and the girls and I were able to go camping with some friends this past weekend. My first couple (2) days away since January. It was so good to get away and to not have anything to do.

Here’s my top 10 list of what I learned this week at Stampede Reservoir.

10. Kids should be require to spend time camping ever year. It’s so great to see them out and experiencing creation.
9. Boats are great! As long as there not yours We had a blast on the boat, but I don’t think I could handle all the stress and hassle associated with owning one.
8. Everyone loves a campfire. It’s even better with marshmallows.
7. Always camp downwind from the toilets.
6. Drunk people think you are driving a lot faster then you are when you drive by them at 15 mph.
5. Camping is always better with friends.
4. The larger your camping accommodations the more stuff you must bring. The more stuff you bring the more complex and stressful camping becomes.
3. I don’t like stress when I’m camping
2. Don’t leave a sleeping bag at home. Fleece sleeping bag liners don’t cut it for 50 degree nights
1. We need to camp more. Not only for our own well-being, but for the girls to experience more of the adventure of creation.

Overall it was a great 2 days. If only a little short. Can’t wait to go again.
